  • Goodbye
    Sep 28 2021

    All good things must come to and end, and this is the end of Distant Disney.  In early October, this podcast feed will shut down, and we will stop posting regularly scheduled episodes.  But, if you ever want to listen to our archived episodes, they now live on our new Youtube channel! We'll be uploading videos to the channel gradually over a little period of time for anyone who wants to reference our more researched and informative episodes!

     

    Thank you to everyone who ever listened! Thank you to all of our guests who made appearances over the years!

  • Muppet Vision 3D and the History of Muppets in Disney World
    Aug 10 2021

    Tucked into a small corner of Disney's Hollywood Studios, Muppet Vision 3D has been hosting guests for thirty years.  While the surrounding areas of the park have seen, shall we say, drastic renovations and rethemes throughout that time, this stalwart little attraction remains nearly unchanged from its opening day version.  This week, we're taking a look at the history of this classic 3D attraction, the massive land that was originally planned for the area, as well as the other iterations of Muppets in Disney parks.

  • Main Street Vehicles
    Jul 13 2021

    Note: This episode was recorded before the tragic events that resulted in one child's death at Adventureland Resort in Iowa.  Although we coincidentally talked about the park this week, we will discuss this tragedy in the next episode.

     

    We're bringing a slightly abbreviated show this week due to Danny's upcoming move!  But that won't stop us from talking all about those iconic Main Street vehicles that you can observe, and yes, ride!
