Description



This week, Jim Hill and Len Testa discuss Disney’s newest attraction update — Soarin’ Across America, debuting at EPCOT and Disney California Adventure in 2026 — and what it means for the company’s strategy ahead of the U.S. 250th anniversary. They also break down the just-released TEA Global Attendance Report and what the latest theme park numbers reveal about Disney, Universal, and the post-pandemic recovery.




  • The new Soarin’ Across America film and why Disney’s betting on nostalgia over novelty




  • Key takeaways from the 2024 TEA Global Attendance Report — who’s up, who’s down, and why




  • Disney Cruise Line’s new discount strategy and survey data collection




  • The surprising link between Disney tech and U.S. military innovations




  • The unbuilt Legend of Sleepy Hollow attraction that could have haunted the Magic Kingdom




From ride refreshes to record books, Jim and Len explore how attendance trends, patriotic tie-ins, and spooky forgotten projects all shape Disney’s next chapter.
