Summary

Remember the first time you visited a Disney park? For my husband, Eric, that magical moment was not as enchanting as he'd imagined. Plunging into the heart of the Magic Kingdom, we found ourselves grappling with contrasting emotions and the looming question - is the Disney experience worth it for every family? Reflecting on my own fond childhood memories of Disney movies, we debate the pros and cons of the Disney world, taking into account the unique experiences of different families. As we navigate the spellbinding universe of Disney, we also uncover the less obvious impacts of Disney's cultural sway, particularly on our little ones. This conversation goes beyond whether we're Disney admirers or skeptics - it's about understanding the deeper implications of the entertainment we so love. Join us as we step behind the magic and into the real world of Disney. In this episode, we discuss:

Reflection on personal experiences and varying opinions on Disney parks and their entertainment offerings.
Disney's cultural influence and the controversies surrounding it, with a focus on the changes in Disney's content and values.
Disney's impact on children, with emphasis on the subtle promotion of pride over humility in its content.
How Disney's changes in entertainment content affect experiences and the upbringing of children.
How the cultural battle between Florida's governor and Disney has affected the latter's image and offerings.

0:00.0	Hey friend, welcome to Healthy by Heather Brown.
0:04.7	Do terms like mental health, intermittent fasting, and buzzy wellness words make you feel overwhelmed?
0:10.0	If you don't know where to start with loving the life you already have and letting your good things grow until they become daily habits, I got you, Mama.
0:17.4	So join me as we unpack what it looks like to live a life well-loved and redefine a new
0:22.7	approach to health from the inside out. Think of the space as your girlfriend's group text with the

0:57.7	So, Eric, the topic of conversation, which we kind of alluded to in the last Marriage Corner that
1:03.4	we recorded is about Disney.
1:05.8	And I had said that you might have some hot takes to share on either the theme parks and your desire or lack of desire to go
1:13.4	and then just about them as a company and entertainment industry overall.
1:18.9	Well, I appreciate your thoughts on me having hot takes.
1:23.1	Sometimes I tend to have strong opinions, but it was very interesting. I know you posted that question
1:30.0	about Disney on your Instagram, and you sent me a lot of the responses, and I found them very
1:36.0	interesting, and obviously it's a very, I think, divided subject as far as people's opinions,
1:44.1	much like many things are today in society.
1:48.0	And yeah, I think it's a very interesting conversation.
1:51.8	And I guess the first thing that I would say, and this is something that you and I always talk
