MiceCast #290 - Merch Over Mickey: The Downtown Disney Downgrade, You used to step into Downtown Disney and feel the magic hit you instantly. Now it's giving major outdoor mall energy with endless shopping, generic vibes, and construction walls everywhere. It seems like Disneyland stripped away the whimsy and is quietly turning its iconic entrance into a glorified shopping center where grabbing overpriced lululemon leggings or Cuban pastries from the new Porto's feels more important than actually visiting the parks. Greg rages "It looks like any mall and the parks feel secondary!" 58 Minutes. Both audio and video versions have been posted and can be found at: micecast.com/?p=1274

MiceCast #289 - Our Second Special In-Studio Guest Returns, Lou from Beyond Main Street came on our show in our early days. He returns to give us an update on what he has been up to and joins in on our special brand of topic discussion. 63 Minutes. Both audio and video versions have been posted and can be found at: micecast.com/?p=1268

Next problems: attractions closed or running at half capacity.

Only two trains running 2 hours after opening.

Here to observe some operations and form some opinions…so far kind of annoying.

MiceCast #288 - A CEO Switching the Story, Josh D'Amaro, the man about to become CEO, just said the quiet part out loud about one of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge's two attractions, Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run. He straight-up said that "Guests like it, but they don’t love it." Disney is installing a massive overhaul to try to fix it and turn every seat into an epic adventure. Will it finally make guests scream "I LOVE THIS" instead of a polite "eh, it was fun"? In this episode, we refer to D'Amaro's Harvard Business Review bombshell, break down why the Falcon's broken, and debate if this redesign will save Star Wars in the parks... or if it's too late. 64 Minutes.

@Jedwbpm Funny you should ask...we do have an old-school DPN podcaster scheduled to join us soon.

@MiceCast When are you going to have some of the old timers on?

MiceCast #287 - Weenie Wonders, They are not just pretty facades or rides. They are psychological traps designed by Walt himself that Imagineers still use to manipulate crowds. After this episode, you'll never look at Sleeping Beauty's castle, or Spaceship Earth the same way again. You will also begin to question every "spontaneous" turn you've ever taken in a Disney park. 60 Minutes. Both audio and video versions have been posted and can be found at: micecast.com/?p=1254

MiceCast #286 - D'Amaro's Disney Destiny: Daring Decision or Doomed Disaster?, Dana Walden was the favorite... until she wasn't. Josh D'Amaro, the guy who made Mickey into a cash-grab robot, won the throne in a unanimous board vote. Is he the savior Disney needs? Will ticket prices skyrocket even more? Will the reservation system finally vanish? Or is this the start of the most magical (or disastrous) chapter yet? 75 Minutes.

MiceCast #285 - Twenty Years of Talking, Twenty years ago (Feb 9, 2006) the first episode of MiceCast was released. What has followed was an initial five-year run of 200 episodes, then various breaks and other projects. In this episode we talk about the beginnings, then revisit an episode from 2010 where we made some predictions, and check-in on where we guessed correctly. 75 Minutes. Both audio and video versions have been posted and can be found at: micecast.com/?p=1233

We enjoyed our time with Lynn and Ken. Give them a listen.
