It is time to cover the second Pooh featurette, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. This would be considered Walt Disney's final work with Disney Animation as he passed in 1966. While this would release in 1968 and take home the Oscar for Best Cartoon Short Subject in 1969, the majority of this project was overseen by Walt himself in the early production of the Pooh project.

Oh no, there is peanut butter in my chocolate! Oh no, there is chocolate in my peanut butter! This is what we imagine Imagineering was like when Claude Coats and Marc Davis were given the reigns of the Haunted Mansion Development! While they both wanted different atmospheres and approaches, Coats' approach for moody and spooky and Davis' knack for laughter, come together to make the Mansion what we all know and love today!

We have reached another milestone in the history of the Mansion, but it is a somber one. Walt has passed and the future of the Mansion is not clear without the man in charge. With this event we must also say goodbye to one of our favorite Imagineers, Rolly Crump, as his involvement with the project would end shortly after.

The moment has finally arrived. The one we’ve all been waiting for. Drumroll please…. The 1964 New York World’s Fair! This would prove to be a moment that would change the course of Disney parks and the Haunted Mansion’s history for the rest of time. This is where we introduce a little something we like to call Audio Animatronics into the mix! From here, Walt would put his faith in 5 men to take the lead on bringing this Haunted Mansion project to completion. Who are these 5 men you might ask? You’ll just have to listen in to get the full scoop. Join us today as we uncover more of the Haunted Mansion! Muahahaha!

It seems playful spooks may have once again interrupted progress on the Mansion. With a now fully constructed Haunted Mansion facade sitting vacant, rumors start swirling about why this building sits abandoned. Join us as we spill the tea on all this ghostly gossip, introduce Marty Skylar’s legendary sign welcoming in restless spirits, and heck, we’ll even horrify you with a literal horror story hidden away in the Disney Archives that was actually gifted to Walt! So much to cover as we prepare for the Haunted Mansion to once again get kicked to the curb in favor of something that will forever change the course for Walt and Imagineering. More on that in next week’s episode!

It is time to say goodbye to another set of imagineers for their time working on the Haunted Mansion has come to an end at least for now...Rolly and Yale were responsible for just a small portion of what would ultimately make its way into the mansion but what they left has made a considerable impact on its legacy!

This week we just have a mini episode for you, but it’s a can’t miss! We introduce two pivotal figures into this story who were key in furthering the Haunted Mansion’s development. Drumroll please….. these men are none other than Rolly Crump and Yale Gracey. They were hand-selected by Walt for this project because he believed these were the men up for the challenge and would be the perfect dynamic duo to spearhead this spooky attraction. Listen in to learn more about these two men and what exactly Walt saw in them that made him believe they would further bring his Haunted Mansion vision to life.

Even though saying goodbye is tough, today we are closing the chapter on Ken Anderson’s involvement in Haunted Mansion’s rich history. We uncover the final iteration of his Bloodmere Manor walkthrough storyline where a certain devious character added to the climax of this attraction may just sound familiar enough that it might have you thinking you’ve lost your head. Ken Anderson really needed to sell these story concepts to Walt, so we discuss how he utilized a DIsney Studios soundstage to bring his concepts to life for test audiences. Clayton wasn’t ready for this, so I’ll give you fair warning….spiders are involved. Where did Ken Anderson go from here and why did he leave the project? Listen in to get the full story.

Welcome, foolish mortals, to the next chapter of our Haunted Mansion deep dive series. We kindly invite you join us today as we take you on a detailed journey through Ken Anderson’s first conceived storyline for Disneyland’s very own walk-through Haunted House. Things are about to get real spooky and swashbuckling, as we tell you the tale of the Legend of Captain Gore. This concept was entirely mapped out from start to finish in unbelievable detail. Ken Anderson had a fully formed backstory, walk-through layout, countless pieces of concept art and an entire script outlined. Let us Ghost Hosts be your guide as we help you visualize what it would have been like to experience this never realized attraction.

Today we’re not just talking about any old theme park. We’re covering one that’s extra special and was born with a purpose and optimism of the future in mind. We call it… EPCOT! But we couldn’t do this alone, we had to bring in some help. We have the pleasure of being joined by our two swashbuckling friends, Greg and Cori from @piratesofthepolynesian. We talk the past, the present, and the future of EPCOT.
This is a park that was built with a completely unique vision in mind and instilled hope in so many of its visitors. First, Greg takes us back in time explaining what original EPCOT Center was like in the past. Then, it’s time to put on our critical thinking caps because we’re taking a magnifying glass to see whether its recent transformation has led to positive change from what it once was. Finally, we dream up what we hope will be possible for EPCOT’s future.
Be sure to go support Greg and Cori and all the great Disney content they’re creating! Give them a follow on Instagram @piratesofthepolynesian and subscribe to their YouTube channel under the same name (Pirates of the Polynesian).

It’s time to end our Fox and the Hound discussion by covering more stories, drama, and fun facts behind this Disney animated feature! But most importantly, we finish off this episode with the moment we’ve been waiting for…. Did Clayton’s heart shatter upon watching this film for the first time? Brace yourselves friends, because we’re talking about THAT scene today (you know, the one that emotionally scarred Emily as a child and for the rest of her life). What are Clayton’s overall thoughts on the film? Is Fox and the Hound better than he expected? Where does it rank in the Disney animated library? Join as us we have an in-depth discussion on all of this and more!

Welcome to another edition of Clayton Watches! This is the series where we get Clayton to watch a Disney animated film he’s never seen before. This week we deep dive into the often forgotten, but highly dramatic film that marks a true turning point for the future of the Disney Studios…. The Fox and the Hound. Emily may have gone a bit overboard on research for this one (even though she says too much research isn’t possible), so we had to split this into 2 parts!
For this episode, we cover the highs and lows of this film’s production, all the juicy behind the scenes drama, the end of an era for Disney animation, and spout off plenty of Fox and the Hound fun facts! Look out for next week where we will continue to spill the tea on further production issues and discuss Clayton’s thoughts on seeing this film for the first time.

We have an exciting episode this week, recapping our trip down to southern California to do some things that aren't just going to the parks! We were lucky enough to go on a Walt Disney Studio tour experiencing all the history the studio has to offer to both Disney movies and the Disney parks. But of course in true Make it Magical fashion, we made it extra, and literally walked in Walt's footsteps, but you will just have to listen to figure out what that means.

Last week, we discussed the finding the right location for the Mansion as well as what inspired the look and feel of the exterior of the Mansion. But what were some of the inspirations for the interior? We're not talking about ghosts or haunted stories just yet, but what places around the country that would serve as a bit of an inspiration for the look and feel of the inside of the mansion itself. Of course, this is early on when the ride was still intended to be a walk through attraction but the inspirations did still make their way to the finished product!

We have received your sympathetic vibrations and will now continue our tour…This week on Uncovering the Haunted Mansion, we talk about the forgotten Imagineer. Many Haunted Mansion fans will know of Marc Davis, Rolly Crump, Claude Coates, and Yale Gracey, but while there were countless other imagineers that worked to bring the Mansion “alive”, none might be more important than the legendary imagineer, Ken Anderson! Now what did he provide to the Mansion? You’ll just have to listen to find out!

We’re almost at the end of this music battle! Before we put our finalists head to head in the grand finale next week, we need to battle out all of the songs from the Revival Era. This episode proved extra tough with the stiff competition we got from films like Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Frozen, Moana, and Encanto. Which songs will be crowned as our Top 4? Why does Clayton have such a hard time remembering “Almost There”? Why are we such foolish mortals that we incorrectly name that song as “The Wish” rather than “This Wish”?
Better alleviate all this suspense and just hit play on this episode to witness all the chaos for yourself. Also, prepare yourself for a record breaking amount of “singing”. What can we say except…. You’re welcome.

We are back with the continuation of our Disney music battle! The previous installments were all about what many consider to be some of Disney’s best decades for films and music. Now we’re switching it up and giving those lesser known animated films from the Bronze Age and Post-Renaissance Era their time to shine! Which songs will rise to the top and make it through to the finals?

Howdy partners! Welcome back to the history of the wildest ride in the wilderness! Today we’ll be digging deeper into this goldmine of a story. Why did Thunder get delayed in Magic Kingdom and head over towards Disneyland? Where would the grand scope of Thunder even fit within the smaller footprint of Walt’s original park? Will this ride ever get approved for construction? What’s the difference between a stalactite and a stalagmite?!? All of these hard-hitting questions and more will be answered! Look out for Part 3 next week!

To start us off we look at the Golden through Silver ages of Disney animation, with heavyweights such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan and so many more. The top 4 of this round, will be transported to go up against other Disney decades like the Renaissance and Revival time-periods!

It is finally here…Opening day for Disneyland, a day that will go down in history for so many reasons. It was here that Walt’s dream that he had been pursuing for so long would finally materialize and would prove to everyone that it was all he had ever promised it would be, but the opening day wouldn’t be without its struggles. Black Sunday as it is known, would see the park at nearly double the capacity they expected with chaotic ride breakdowns and lack of water and food. But through all of it, the park would shine and it would be the start of all the magic we experience in the parks!

We are getting all so close to the closure of our building Disneyland series and the opening of the park, but first we need to finish covering some last minute details around the park and construction! There have been so many different times when it looked bleak that the park would open on time, no more so than weeks before when construction was at a breakneck pace. However, once Walt showed the park to his closest friends and family and he saw the joy it would bring people, he knew all the struggle to get to this point was worth it. Today we cover a variety of last minute stories that bring us to the opening of Disneyland!

Welcome to Make it Magical Believe it or Not where today we take on Disney urban legends to find what is true and what is myth. From babies being born in the parks and lip licking Frito animatronics to actual skeletons being used in Disneyland Pirates and the origin of the words Imagineering. We have ten fun legends today that we see if Clayton can correctly guess whether or not they are true or legend.

This was a fun one! We got to sit in a room and listen to the director of The Imagineering Story, Leslie Iwerks. This past weekend she gave a talk at the Walt Disney Family Museum going behind the scenes of what it took to make the magic that is this 6 part miniseries and the book that would follow. This was such an amazing experience and today we talk all about our experience and the highlights of this presentation.

Construction is swinging into full gear today as we talk about building the opening day lands, Main Street, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, Adventureland and Frontierland. They got creative during construction trying to stretch every dollar as far as it could go, labeling weeds with latin names or reusing old walnut trees. But at the utmost importance to Walt was that it was done right! Listen in to learn the full story!

All the work of this series now kicks into overdrive. There is less than a year till opening day, and construction has started. We cover the foundational parts of construction today like sewage and water, trees and landscaping, and some unique approaches they had to some problems during construction. But most of all we talk about Walt’s attention to detail through all of it. There wasn’t a stone that would be out of place (quite literally) in his perfect park.

Colors of the Wind, Go the Distance, Beauty and the Beast, Friend Like Me…there's too many to possibly pick from during the glorious musical years of the Disney Renaissance, but that is what we are doing today! We undergo the challenging process of picking our top 10 Disney Renaissance songs. Out of such a jammed packed decade of excellent music, this is a tough, nail-biting experience so we hope you like it!

Welcome to the Weenie Awards! This week we talk all things weenies, the visual magnets that draw us to the various parts of the Disney parks. What’s the worst weenie? What’s the most technical weenie? But most importantly, what are our top 5 favorite Disney weenies? We somehow manage to make it through this episode with minimal giggling. Hallelujah for that!

This week, Clayton Watches returns where we try to see Brother Bear through another’s eye. Brother Bear was the 44th Disney Animation film and has a very interesting backstory all the way from inception through release and legacy. This movie also shares a few unique distinctions when it comes to not only Disney Animation, but animation as a whole. We guarantee that after you listen to this episode, you will have a whole new view on Brother Bear!

Today we finish the second segment of our Building Disneyland series. We’ve talked through how we got the funding to build the park and we are ready to start building with just months ahead of when the park would open. But before we go into the actual building, we wanted to tie up some loose ends and set the foundation for when we get into the actual construction. Today we finish off funding, with what sponsors would come to the park and discuss the early work that went into training Disney cast members to make guests trips truly magical.

This week on our Building Disneyland series, we take a deep dive look at the first Disneyland drawing going over in detail the lands that were first imagined for the park. Then, we cover what we actually did with this Drawing and how it helped Roy secure the much needed construction funds to help build the park. A well known broadcasting company today would be the solution to finding the funding that would help make the park a reality. We cover all that and more including a little peek into what the Disneyland Tv show was actually like, covering its premiere episode which aired in 1954, some ten months before the park would officially open.

Today we discuss a big big moment in the building Disneyland series. The land has been acquired in sleepy Anaheim, but how are we going to pay to build it? An idea that has proven difficult to sell, so Walt needed something to show others what Disneyland would become. Today we cover the first drawing of Disneyland that would go on to help be the basis for what the park would later look like! Spoiler alert, it’s not too far off of what we have today!

We had the great pleasure of having our friends Caleb and Caitlyn from the Market House Podcast on this week to get to know them as well as discuss a very important parks topic, navigating Disney experiences when you have a food allergy. Caleb has Celiac Disease, meaning he is gluten intolerant, so we discuss what it is like to manage this within the parks and how Disney overall is so accommodating for any type of food allergy. It was a blast to have them on and we are so thankful to have gotten close to them as a part of this podcast journey!

Today we get a little feisty discussing some things that we are not the biggest fans of as it pertains to the current running on both the parks as well as the content sides of the Disney brand. This is just the way we feel about these things, and if you have a different opinion let us know. Let the hot takes fly!

You have been warned! SPOILERS GALORE! The Disney 100 celebration shows, Wondrous Journeys and World of Color One, what can we say but wow! Even though we have a few minor criticisms, we both feel that Disney knocked it out of the park with both of these shows. We wanted to break them down for those looking to hear an in-depth review, so we decided a bonus episode made the most sense to keep spoilers clear from our regular weekly episode. Enjoy this detailed look into our thoughts on both of these very special shows!

Of course with this comes all the fun little stories and interactions which made our trip memorable. Don’t worry about Disney100 show spoilers if you are avoiding them, this episode is completely spoiler free!

Previously on the Make it Magical Podcast…we talked all things trains, but today things are getting a little bit more serious for the idea of Disneyland. We cover the headwinds Walt experienced in simply getting the idea of the park going. This includes having to convince his own family this was a good idea to finding people that would believe in his dream enough to invest. Things are really starting to build up in this journey!

Previously on Make it Magical…Emily and Dole Whip Daddy (AKA Clayton) started to tell the Disneyland story starting with the inspiration of what would become the resort. This week we continue this story by covering in more detail how Walt’s love of trains would further inspire him to start the initial plannings of his theme park…Mickey Mouse Park, but we leave it there for a bit of a cliffhanger.

It’s Episode 50, a big big deal for us and we want to celebrate it by telling a story, a story very dear to us…the building of Disneyland. We want to go through all the inspiration, thoughts and struggles that it took to make the park a reality. Today we start with the inspiration and while most have heard a story of a park bench, that is only one piece of the puzzle. Follow along as we go through all it took to build the Happiest Place on Earth!

With our upcoming Disneyland trip, we thought it would be cool to go over the stuff that we have never done or been able to achieve in the parks. That’s right even after all these years of going to the parks, there is still stuff that we haven’t done and there's more being added all the time. The Disney Parks are always growing and changing and this was a core idea of Walt’s visions for them, so join us as we discuss what has eluded our activity lists in the parks.

This week Clayton complains about Tomorrowland a lot…what brought him to do this? We are talking about an extinct attraction in Disneyland while it still remains in WDW. We can be talking about none other than the PeopleMover. We dive into everything around the conception, creation, and implementation of this classic into Disneyland. How can such a simple attraction elicit such a response? You’ll just have to listen to find out. Look out for Part 2 next week where we'll cover its history in WDW's Magic Kingdom. This episode topic is credited to our Patreon supporter Jared, as he requested it as part of our new perks.

Today is a special one, we are talking a Disneyland trip report with a very special guest, my Mom and Clayton's Mother-in-law, Lori. This was a very important trip for her being able to go to the park for the first time in several years. We talk about her experience as well as the use of Disney's Disability Access Service (DAS). Disclaimer: In this episode, we will be discussing some serious matters surrounding health diagnosis, but promise that it all ties into Disney and results in a very positive and uplifting message.

With Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary celebration shortly coming to an end, we thought it would be an interesting discussion to compare it against Disneyland’s own 50th celebration. Walt Disney World’s celebration has been criticized by some but how does it stack up against Disneyland’s that was celebrated close to 20 years ago? Listen in to find out!

This one has been a long time coming for us. This is something we have wanted to do since very early on in the podcast. Today, we are talking about Pixar, more specifically the history of Pixar and how it came to be. This is to set us up for next week where we are doing a Pixar short throwdown, but to appreciate the first few shorts we need to tell this story to understand what roll they had in the history of the company and computer generated animation as a whole.

Clayton has a bit of a confession to make, even as a Disney podcaster he hasn’t seen close to half of the Disney animated movies 😱. This new series is going to be geared towards us correcting that so he can keep his Disney podcaster badge. We figured what better place to start than Treasure Planet, which just celebrated its 20th anniversary. Join us as Clayton watches it and digs deep into the not much talked about movie and its place in Disney animation.

Our year has come to an end…our Disney year that is. We were incredibly lucky to be able to go to Disneyland 3 times in the last 12 months and today we discuss our new favorite and least favorite things in the parks. New food, drinks, lands and traditions were added to our Disneyland experience and we wanted to share them. While overall the experiences have generally been positive, we do have some not so positive things in the parks cough, cough Genie+, and we cover these shortly first but don’t get too into on this one. Today we are talking about the parks with rose colored glasses.

A lot of content is slated for our viewing pleasure including new Pixar movies/TV shows, and updates were given for already announced Disney/Marvel/Star Wars movies and TV shows. Not much that is new is announced for the parks, but we got some ideas as to what is coming for the 100th anniversary including new nighttime spectaculars. Were you excited/disappointed by what was announced? Listen in to our takes and let us know your feelings on the announcements.

In the second part of our Splash Mountain series, we look into what is unique amongst each version of Splash across the many parks and how Imagineers were able to blend it into two separate lands. Of course, we cannot talk about Splash without talking about the future retheme coming its way and we discuss some of the most common pros/cons that we have seen for it. This wouldn’t be complete without putting on our amateur imagineering hats and coming up with some ideas for what this retheme might look like before we ultimately say goodbye to what is one of our favorite rides.

With news that Splash Mountain will be rethemed based off of Princess and the Frog, Clayton and I wanted to go over the history of Splash Mountain from inception to its final closure to celebrate its 30+ year run as a crowd favorite. We wanted to start this history by appropriately covering the history of Song of the South, to get a better understanding of what is driving the retheming. Song of the South, which the ride is loosely based on, was released 75 years ago was widely celebrated for its blending of live action and color animation but also widely criticized for its depiction of African Americans. We discuss the background of the movie, Walt Disney’s love for it, the criticism it received and it’s difficult legacy.
