Episode 095 ... week in review of January 29, 2022 - Scott Gustin joins us to talk about the future of the Orlando Theme Parks and some comments on the inner workings of the giant company that is Disney ...

Scott Gustin Introduction:
- Who is Scott and how did he get into covering Disney news on Twitter?
Starts @0:47 ...

Topic: Disney vs Universal, and the impact of Epic Universe
- We discuss how Epic Universe and how the construction of it is moving full speed ahead will impact Disney and their decisions going forward for WDW
Starts @5:34 ...

Topic: Lightning Lane and Genie+
- Scott shares some insights into the development of this tool and what he thinks works - and doesn't work.
- Included in this is how the project was underfunded and also how what we have at WDW is the "EPCOT of Tools" as it is really two tools stuck together, not developed together.
Starts @10:39 ...

Topic: Perpetual Negativity in the Disney Blogosphere
- We discuss how the continuous reporting on activity in the Disney parks leads to increased negativity and "outrage" about everything ... but if equally upset about everything, how can the reader determine what is really worth being upset about?

Starts @34:05 ...

What is Everyone Talking About?
- Entertainment returning to the parks - Festival of Fantasy Parade, new Cavalcades, additional Character Sightings, etc.
- Scott mentions that he expects to see a ramping up of things coming back

Source: Disney Parks Blog
Starts @43:37 ...

Topic: Encanto in the parks
- We discuss the popularity of Encanto but also how there is no presence of the film in Walt Disney World, and how the size of the Disney company can prevent quick shifts to enable that - and how that is concerning
Starts @54:04 ...

Topic: Chapek's Disney
- Now that Bob Chapek is getting his people in place, will we see his vision for the parks going forward
- Scott shares that it has basically been Chapek's company for about 6 months only, before the shadow of Iger loomed large, so now we will really see what Chapek wants with the parks and see that executed - for good or bad
