Goodbye Park Hopping Rule!

Welcome back to Geeks Corner with your hosts, Mr. Daps and Caitie Bear! We have an absolutely packed episode for you tonight, diving into some massive updates from Disneyland and Walt Disney World, sharing an unforgettable celebrity encounter, and giving you a peek behind the curtain of our latest studio adventures.Here is what we are breaking down in this episode:The Ultimate Park-Hopping Freedom: Major news for West Coast parkgoers! Starting June 9th, the arbitrary 11:00 AM park-hopping restriction is officially history. We discuss what this means for your morning rush and how Disneyland's newly integrated in-app reservation UI is changing the guest experience. Plus, a quick look at how their new facial recognition entry technology is zipping lines along.A Muppet Takeover on Rock 'n' Roller Coaster: The courtyard is open, the pre-show is set, and the vibe is purely Electric Mayhem! We review the vibrant new courtyard color choices, genius motion-capture audio-animatronic Scooter, and the glorious return of our favorite hecklers, Statler and Waldorf, in their Airstream trailer.Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Star-Studded Surprise: Mr. Daps recounts his firsthand experience watching the brand-new projection shows, Shadows of Memory and The Curious Child, over the Millennium Falcon. But the real magic happened when Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, Sigourney Weaver, and Pedro Pascal unexpectedly walked out into the crowd! Hear all about Pedro’s unscripted Lion King moment with a Grogu plush and how he surprised riders inside the Falcon itself.Cruising Into the History Books: We look ahead to next month's brand-new episodes of Behind the Attraction on Disney+. We share our excitement for a deep dive into the origins of the Disney Cruise Line—from the nostalgic days of the Big Red Boat all the way to the upcoming Disney Destiny.Answering Your Comments: We wrap things up by answering live viewer questions! We touch on whether Soarin' Over California is getting an extension, why we desperately want to hear the full Magic of Disney Animation background music loop, and the practical (and financial) reasons why a certain $399 Disneyland Lego set won't be fitting in our studio anytime soon.Join the Team!We are officially forming our team for the upcoming CHOC Walk!
