Annie and Danny's FastPass Podcast

This week Annie and Dan return for their 52nd Episode, which they're considering their anniversary show.

They start off pretty typically with the news, but go off the rails several times. We won't even really try to summarize.

Their main topic is all about how Disney can incorporate modern technological advances into creating more improved park experiences into the future.

Thanks for Listening!

Next the duo announces that they'll be running in the Tower of Terror 10 Miler in 2015, which is just about the worst thing ever.

Lastly they each plan their "Worst Disney Day" in the parks for each other. Annie gets way more creative than Dan.

Annie and Dan return to their movie reviews or recaps or whatever you wanna call them. 

During the episode they go into great detail over the 1953 Classic, and discuss among other things, topless mermaids, bitches who be crazy, Pan being a jerk to everyone, Captain Hook being a great villain, along with the usual arguments over racism and misogyny in old school Disney Classics.

Watch the flick and follow along with them as they vaguely follow the order of the actual movie.

Also, as a little bonus, they discuss the recent entries over at Parkeology about the biggest Disney Park controversies.

This week Annie is on vacation, so Dan brings in amazing guest host Rebecca Kelly, who has freed herself from the closet to fill in on the podcast in Dan's hour of need.

They end up with a pretty fun episode where Dan and Rebecca talk about people losing digits on Pirates of the Caribbean, the D23 Event coming up, the passing of a Disney Legend, and the reopening of Club 33.

Next they discuss the potential expansions of Soarin' and Toy Story Mania.

After that, Dan comes through on a promise from previous weeks, and they close out the episode with their main topic, the movies in the Disney animation lexicon that most need a sequel.

Annie and Dan open this podcast with some world cup soccer discussion, and then after dicking around for a few minutes on that, they dive in to the Disney News of the Week, as is their habit.

This week's news features items ranging from Harrison Ford's injury on Star Wars, Frozen being literally everywhere still, Cinderella's Royal Table being refurbished, MousePlanet's list of Top Disney Hotel Restaurants, The Lion King's 20th Anniversary, casting announcements for the weird Lion King reboot, and more.

Next they briefly discuss a "Disney Dummy", probably Dan's favorite one ever.


Lastly they discuss the attractions they think Walt would and wouldn't like if he was unfrozen today without any preparation for the technology and attractions of modern times.

This week Annie and Dan go in depth about all kinds of things to the point they don't even get to their main topic.

They start, as usual, with the news. This week touching on such subjects as the insanely long lines for the Frozen meet-and-greets, the potential of a new Frozen Ride, the fury over the changes Disney is making to Into the Woods, the closure of the Wilderness Lodge pool, special "Rares" at the Villains Unleashed Event, and the silly shit Studios is doing now that Star Wars weekends are over.

After the news, they dive into some listener questions, and further discussion of Annie's trip planning and then they talk for a long time about dining reservations, and basically call half the country "rubes".
