The moment has finally arrived. The one we’ve all been waiting for. Drumroll please…. The 1964 New York World’s Fair! This would prove to be a moment that would change the course of Disney parks and the Haunted Mansion’s history for the rest of time. This is where we introduce a little something we like to call Audio Animatronics into the mix! From here, Walt would put his faith in 5 men to take the lead on bringing this Haunted Mansion project to completion. Who are these 5 men you might ask? You’ll just have to listen in to get the full scoop. Join us today as we uncover more of the Haunted Mansion! Muahahaha!

Big episode for us! Make it Magical is going international for this one! We had the pleasure of being joined by a UK listener and friend of the show. Ant discusses everything from Disneyland Paris, his recent Disney trip, and breaks down everything you need to know about utilizing Genie+ in Walt Disney World. This episode is packed full of helpful tips, tricks, and strategies for making the most out of Genie+ on your trip.

Can't thank Ant enough for sharing his family's experiences and taking the time to chat with us on the show! Make sure to go give him a follow on Instagram @disney_ant! He posts even more tips/tricks on his page and heavily dives into Disney history. Extremely knowledgeable and an all around fantastic person!

During the interview portion, be aware that the audio quality isn't up to our usual standards. We are still working to fix the problem and aim to have this solved for future guest episodes.

First we start off on a high note with some VERY exciting updates for us and the podcast, but then we shift gears towards some not so fun Disney news. This week in how Disney has upset its fanbase…with recent news of Genie+ price hikes and that animated movies aren’t for adults, we strap in for another round of hot takes. Brace yourself because we get brutally honest in this one!

We’ve gone behind the scenes, now it’s time to pick the best of Nightmare Before Christmas and ask some questions that are probably unanswerable. What happens in the other holiday lands? How traumatized is the Easter Bunny? All of this and more in this week's finale of our Nightmare series!
