Welcome back to another edition of the Disney dish podcast with Jim Hill.

It's me, Len Testa, and this is our show for the week of Schmer's Day, January 25, 2021.

On the show today, news, listener listener questions in our main segment

Jim talks about the history of Disney's Vero Beach Resort

it's the only DVC resort I've not stayed at

so I'm super excited to hear about this.

Let's get started by bringing in the man whose wildlife tip for differentiating between an alligator and a crocodile is to check whether it sees you later or after a while. It's Mr. Jim Hill. Jim has it going? It's going well then and this

makes me think of there have only to my knowledge been three different times that Disney has done walk around characters to the park that

were either alligators or crocodiles.

They had the crocodile from Peter Pan as a costume. They also did Ben Ali Gator from Fantasia.

Oh right, yeah, yeah, yeah, from the, that would have been interesting because that character

would fit into the animal kingdom,

fantasial-like thing for beastly kingdom, okay?

He would have.

And then finally, we had Lewis from a princess in the frog

who the imaginers are revisiting right now

for that splash mountain Princess of the Frog Redo.

And it turns out he's going to be a particularly difficult character to do as an animatronic because he's so big and so heavy?

I mean, they did brare bear, and they can do an alligator.

brare, at least was pear shape.

With dealing with Lewis, it's like dealing with a sentient kibasa.

Not a shape that lends itself to easy movement, or at least with an acrylic underpinning.
