Frontierland to trade steamboat ride for “Cars” -themed road rally (Ep. 493)

The Disney Dish with Jim Hill

Len Testa & Jim Hill start today’s episode by discussing the changes that will soon be coming to Tom Sawyer Island at WDW’s Magic Kingdom.


They also look back at when the “Be Our Guest” restaurant opened at that same theme park back in December of 2012


Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:


  • For which Disney animated feature from the 1990s did Ricky Martin voice the title character (for the Latin American / Spanish version of this film, that is)


  • What did the Imagineers once toy with installing inside of the “Hall of Presidents” show building


  • What does Universal Orlando’s new dining offer tell us about when Epic Universe will likely open to the public


  • Why did Disney’s Central Reservations Office have to rethink the number of seatings they could book daily at “Be Our Guest” just six months after this new Magic Kingdom restaurant first opened


  • Why did the load-in of the Ballroom’s chandelier prove to be a challenge to the “Be Our Guest” construction team
