Len Testa & Jim Hill start off this week’s show by discussing what’s about to happen to the NBA Experience at Disney Springs. They then talk about why kids back in the 1950s were absolutely crazed when it came to Disneyland’s “Autopia” 

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

  • Which “Star Wars” movie director just got hired by Universal Pictures to direct their next “Jurassic World” movie
  • Why did the Imagineers insert all of those CG animals into “Soarin’ Around the World”
  • What was originally supposed to transport Disneyland visitors from the Hub all the way to the very back of that theme park’s “World of Tomorrow”
  • Where in World Celebration Gardens should you go if you want to do some people watching
  • When did Disneyland’s Junior Autopia get renamed the Fantasyland Autopia
