So today on the podcast, we have another set of stories that cover both Florida and California,

but lean more toward the Disneyland resort. There's been a lot going on on both coasts. Last week,

we had more of a focus on Florida, and this week, for the next 45 minutes or so, we'll focus a

little bit more on California. I've gone through all six

American parks in the last couple of weeks, and more importantly, I've been able to go on the

revamped and recently reopened version of Disneyland's classic haunted mansion a half dozen times,

and have some thoughts about the new additions there.

But before we get into all that, I first need to thank another round of band camp subscribers.

These here are the people who keep this whole enterprise going.

Thanks is going out to all of our band camp subscribers, but a specific note of gratitude

is going out to some new subscribers today, including the one thousandth ghost, Wed 1923,

CPT, Wisbang, HM, Gabe, and Eric. Thanks to all of you for supporting what we do here,

and now let's simply jump into the show.

Today on the podcast, we continue our news stories for the month of February 2025.

And as promise, we do have multiple sections today that focus on the Disneyland resort, but before we get there, we have some brief updates about Florida.

Adding to the list of attraction closures out at Disney World to make room for new experiences,

it's tough to be a bug will formally have its last show at Animal Kingdom on March 16th.

This attraction typically has a short queue, maybe five or ten minutes, even during the week of Christmas, the busiest week of the year.

The wait time rarely rose above 20 minutes.

But rind closures tend to bring out the fan, so for the next month or so, expect to see some slightly longer lines here.

The bug show after performing in the tree for nearly 27 years is now closing to make way

for a Zootopia-themed animatronic show.
