Disney fans rejoice! Welcome to the season 11 finale of Dizney Coast to Coast. Today on the show I chat with Brian Sandahl who worked as an Art Director for Disney Live Entertainment for over 20 years at the Disneyland Resort. During his time, he worked on holiday attraction overlays including It’s a Small World Holiday, Haunted Mansion Holiday and Jingle Cruise. Plus, he worked on A Christmas Fantasy Parade for a number of years, even designing new floats for the annual Christmas parade. Hear how the folks at Disney Live Entertainment, not Walt Disney Imagineering, bring these holiday overlays to the parks, the challenges they bring, and how they get developed in the first place. That and so much more is coming your way on this holiday episode of Dizney Coast to Coast.

Disney fans rejoice! Everything’s coming up Oz as the world (and I) have been swept away by Universal Pictures’ latest mega-hit movie, “Wicked”, based on the hit Broadway musical. But it’s certainly not the first time the public has been put under the Oz spell, and Walt Disney himself knew the power of Oz. All the way back in the 1950s Walt Disney wanted to make an Oz movie. Although it never fully came to fruition for him, The Walt Disney Company has certainly had its fair share of Oz projects throughout the years. Listen as Oz historian Tori (from The Oz Vlog) joins me to discuss Disney’s history with Oz as well as Oz history in general. She is a human encyclopedia for all things Oz and you’re certain to learn a ton during this episode. Now, let’s follow that yellow brick road and discuss Disney and it’s many iterations of Oz.
