Join us at Parks Academy as we delve into the magical world of park icons in our exciting new episode, "Mickey's Sorcerer's Hat." In this installment of our Park Icons Mini Series, we explore the rich history, intricate construction, and controversial placement of one of Disney's most iconic landmarks.

Step back in time with us as we uncover the origins of Mickey's Sorcerer's Hat, a symbol synonymous with Disney's Hollywood Studios. Discover how this towering structure pays homage to the timeless classic, "Fantasia," and the beloved character Mickey Mouse in his iconic role as the Sorcerer's Apprentice.

We'll take you behind the scenes, examining the meticulous design and construction of the hat, its architectural intricacies, and the innovative engineering that brought it to life. Explore the fascinating details of its construction and the team of Imagineers who meticulously crafted each element to capture the magic and whimsy of Disney.

However, every story is complete with its controversies. We explore the heated debate surrounding the placement of the Sorcerer's Hat, as it completely blocked the iconic Chinese Theater façade, a symbol of the park's original theme. We delve into the reasoning behind this decision, the public response, and the eventual removal of the hat, allowing the theater to shine again as the park's prominent icon.

Join us as we unravel the fascinating tale of Mickey's Sorcerer's Hat, a symbol that has left an indelible mark on Disney history. Whether you're a Disney enthusiast, a theme park aficionado, or intrigued by architectural wonders, this episode is sure to captivate and inspire your imagination.

Tune in to Parks Academy's Park Icons Mini Series as we unveil the secrets, controversies, and triumphs behind the construction and removal of Mickey's Sorcerer's Hat. Prepare to embark on a magical journey that explores the intersection of art, architecture, and Disney's rich storytelling legacy.

We invite you if you dare to step aboard because in today's episode? YOUR VOTES are the stars.

On this episode, we welcome back Michael and Kelsey D'Emilio to discuss the results of our Best Ride in Walt Disney World bracket. There were ups, downs, and ultimately a rightful winner ("or so we think..." - Judi Dench). Tangents include but aren't limited to: Jason and the Cars Crew, our mom's favorite ride (the winner), and, if you listen to the end, a story about the first celebrity Trent and I ever saw in Los Angeles.

This week we are celebrating our podcast pals!

18WT 023:  Janet asks Patrick what they are talking about today, guns? He says, no but maybe a future one if she does the research. She got all excited about that. Patrick brings up people getting vaccinated and things getting back to normal. With that being said as things open up, he wonders about movie theaters. He said he used to love going to the theater. Janet says she loved it because it was their night. Dinner and a movie, a burger, or a steak dinner and then a movie.

It wasn’t about the dinner, it was about the experience, the night. There is one here in the Phoenix area that for about 6 years has set the standard. It has huge recliners that 2 people could fit into, you can pull the armrest up between the two seat and make it an actual love seat. And the seat had big arms, cup holders, etc.… so that you were not close to the people you didn’t know.

She used to bring a lap blanket like every woman she saw, kick off your shoes, some people brought a little pillow even. A very relaxing atmosphere, you could really enjoy the night. You can order the tickets online and reserve your seats also. It was great whether it was the two of them or if Kyle was with them. Now nearly all (maybe all) of the local theatres are like that one. The theatres here were a lot better than in N.Y. they were stadium seating there compared to a lazy boy reclin

This week, Jasmine is joined by Damfino and Live From the Space Stage: A Halyx Story Director, Matthew Serrano, to talk about the man, the myth, the legend, Dick Tracy. From the delightfully campy film, to the E Ticket attraction that never was, we cover every aspect of this Disney/Touchstone film and its representation in the parks, including a short-lived Broadway style spectacular.
