Disney Dish Episode 291: Why doesn’t Shanghai Disneyland have any indoor roller coasters?

 Summary:

Len Testa starts out this week’s show with an enthusiastic review of Foxx Nolte’s “Boundless Realm” book, which takes its readers behind-the-scenes at the Haunted Mansion. Then Jim Hill concludes his Disney Princesses in the Parks series by talking about how WDW’s New Fantasyland project changed course in mid-construction

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

• How Don Bluth’s history with the Mouse House makes it somewhat problematic to try & turn the title character of Fox’s “Anastasia” into a Disney Princess
• Why -- in a recent survey that the WDW Resort sent out -- is Disney asking questions like “Are you a grandparent?”
• How many times did Ben -- a “Snow White’s Scary Adventure” superfan -- get to ride the WDW version of this dark ride before it closed in May of 2012
• Why are WDW Cast Members who work at “it’s a small world” big fans of the Tangled Toilets
• How is COVID-19 derailing the Disney Vacation Club’s plans when it comes to persuading people to purchase points at the Riviera Resort
