We also break down the reopening of Buzz Lightyear with upgraded gameplay, Big Thunder Mountain’s refreshed effects and new scenes, and surprising news like guests being charged for taking “souvenirs” from Disney’s newest cruise ship. On top of that, we cover rising DVC costs, major refurbishments at Saratoga Springs, and casting news for the live-action Tangled remake that’s already generating buzz.
In the aftershow, things heat up across the industry as Sesame Workshop sues SeaWorld over a decades-long partnership, Universal quietly moves forward on a mysterious new Epic Universe project, and the new Harry Potter HBO series gets an earlier-than-expected release window. We also dive into Halloween Horror Nights 35 ticket details, including price increases and new early access perks that could change how fans plan their nights. If you’re tracking where the parks—and the competition—are headed next, this episode delivers plenty to talk about.
