    Disney, AI, and Who Owns the Future of Magic? - MOW #607

    In this episode, we discuss Disney and artificial intelligence. In early December 2025, Disney made a deal with OpenAI and simultaneously sued Google over Artificial Intelligence. At first, it sounds contradictory. But once you understand Disney's goals, it's actually very on-brand. We break it down in plain language, explore why people are anxious about AI, and look at the arguments on both sides. What are your thoughts on our discussion? Civil discussions encouraged.

    Best Disney Villains Song Bracket - MOW #599
    As a lead up to our 600th episode which is also our Halloween Show for 2025, we search to figure out what the best animated Disney Villains song is. This is a bracket show in which we curated a list of 8 animated Disney Villains songs of major significance. To make it on our bracket, it must be a song sung by the animated character, so no Cruella DeVil because she doesn't sing the song. Listen to find out who won! How did your bracket come out? Did we forget a song? Civil discussions encouraged.

    What Will You Miss? Family, Growth, and Changes - MOW #598
    For the past month, Disney fans have noted the number of changes coming to the parks over the next few years. While that is happening, we are getting older and our children are growing and maturing. In this episode, we share stories of things we miss doing either because of a park change that took place or because our kids outgrew it or because we physically can't tolerate it anymore; these things are out of our control. What stories do you have? What will you miss? Civil discussions encouraged.

    Am I Right? Animal Kingdom is the Best WDW Park - MOW #597

    This is a new series of shows called "Am I Right?" On each episode of this series, one host presents their thesis and supporting facts, and the rest of the hosts do their best to prove the thesis wrong…along the lines of a peer review article. Then, at the end, we see if we have presented enough evidence to convince the thesis holder to revise their thesis. For the inaugural episode, Rachel presents her long held thesis that Disney's Animal Kingdom is the best park at the Walt Disney World Resort. What do you think? Did we present enough evidence? Did we miss something? Civil discussions encouraged. Please let us know at [email protected] or call 815-669-4226, or slide into our social media DMs. Every thought and opinion will forever be welcome on this Disney fan podcast. This is show #597.
