Disney World History with Author Chris Smith

What this episode covers

Hello and welcome to The Enchanted Ears Podcast! Your place for anything and everything Disney. This week is a weird one since we have 2 episodes. Disney News was supersized due to the investors' meeting, so it gets its own show. Hooray!! We were so lucky this week to talk to Disney Historian Chris Smith. (How cool is it to be described as a "Disney Historian"?) He gives us the DL on so many things Disney from unbuilt attractions to things you would likely miss at Pecos Bill's to a deep dive into the attic scene on Haunted Mansion. We talked about the Russia pavilion, Fire Mountain, Thunder Mesa, and so much more! Thank you so much to Chris for the awesome interview! Be sure to check out his latest book, Magical Half-Century: Stories Celebrating Walt Disney World's First 50 Years, or his other books, The Walt Disney World that Never Was and Backstories and Magical Secrets of Walt Disney World Volumes I and II. We'll see you next week! Byeeeee! Check us out on Facebook and Youtube or submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode or support us on Patreon.
