What if there was no right or wrong answer…only where you stand?
854 · Disney In or Out - Pick a Side on These Disney Debates
In this episode of Disney In or Out, we have a fast-paced, passionate conversation about the Disney topics fans love to debate.
From Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge and Magic Kingdom attractions to Marvel after Avengers Endgame, we explore the Disney debates fans care about most and why they strike such an emotional chord.
This is Disney In or Out at its best - thoughtful, fun, nostalgic, and unapologetically opinionated.
I'm joined by Lisa Dinoto Glassner and Matthew Woolley, and our conversation also takes a thoughtful turn into Disney leadership, as we explore what comes after Bob Iger and whether Disney’s future might depend on rethinking how the CEO role itself is structured.
It's not about being right… it’s about why we as Disney fans care so deeply, and what our opinions reveal about nostalgia, storytelling, and the future of Disney.
And the best part is that you can play along, pick your side, and share your take in the WDW Radio Clubhouse or on the voicemail.
