Len Testa & Jim Hill start off this week’s show by talking about the operational issues that “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure” continues to have during its preview period.

They also share listeners' theories about why WDW sit-down restaurants have seemed so empty lately

Throughout this episode, listeners will learn about:

  • What changes have been made to the on-board narration for Disneyland’s Mark Twain


  • When will the revamped version of “Country Bear Jamboree” be opening at the Magic Kingdom in Florida

  • Who personally supervised the fireworks display over Seven Seas Lagoon back on October 23, 1971


  • What’s happening with WDW’s old “Pirates Leagues” facility


  • Why were the fast food restaurants & motels built around Disneyland back in the Late 1950s / early 1960s all clustered around the corner of Harbor & Katella
