Disney has reimagined several of its rides and attractions for Summer 2026, so we share our reviews for Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, Soarin' Across America, Smugglers Run with Mandalorian and Grogu, new Animation Courtyard and more!
Big thank you to Walt Disney World for inviting me for media previews, especially since it allowed me to ride Rock 'n' Roller Coaster enough to (nearly) get every song! (I'll get you Walking on Sunshine, next time!)

In our third Disney+ discussion we are joined once again by Adam, AKA MovieGuy365, and Peter Tedone of Disney Magic Hour Podcast, to give our overall thoughts on The Mandalorian season one. We also discuss our favorite moments from the last four episodes, our predictions for season two, and even go into what we think the future might hold for Star Wars in general, both on the small and big screen.
Somehow we managed to not include any spoilers for Rise of Skywalker, (but we do express some of our feelings on the new film as compared to other Star Wars media in general). Enjoy!

Today we're looking at that giant new theme park Universal Orlando doesn't want you to know they're building. It's located a few miles south of the current resort, near the Orange County Convention Center. We're calling it the 4th gate because Universal has called Volcano Bay their 3rd gate, so while this is technically their 3rd THEME PARK in Orlando, it's their 4th GATE. We're going over technical details like permits filed for new roads, parking lots and water drainage, but also exploring rumors for new ride systems and exciting properties to fill out this new theme park. Hooray for Fantastic Worlds (or whatever they end up calling it)!
