| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another edition of the Disney Dish Podcast with Jim Hill. |
| 0:03.4 | It's me, Len Testa, and this is our show for the Week of Shimmer's Day, June 14th, 2021. |
| 0:08.7 | On the show today, news, listener questions, and then our main segment, Jim gives us the history |
| 0:14.3 | of the Toy Story Mania attraction. Let's get started by bringing in the man who says that when |
| 0:19.1 | you think about it, the seashore is the worst possible place to sell seashells. It's Mr. Jim Hill. |
| 0:24.8 | Jim, how's it going? For some reason, this makes me think of that wonderful Stephen Wright joke. |
| 0:29.2 | I have a hobby. I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep it scattered on |
| 0:33.3 | beaches around the world. Maybe you've seen some of it. Is he still alive? He is, he is. He's still, |
| 0:41.7 | you know, I mean, he has honestly done some of my favorites stand up. I mean, for example, |
| 0:46.6 | the companion joke for this is, you know, well, you can't have everything. Where would you put it? |

| 0:53.4 | Well, speaking of time, one more Stephen Wright joke. I went to a restaurant that serves breakfast |
| 0:59.7 | in an anytime. So I ordered French toast during the Renaissance. Yeah. Okay, keep your wakeers |
| 1:08.0 | as far as we can. We can. Let's do a quick shout out to subscribers over at DisneyDish.bandacamp.com. |
| 1:16.7 | Thanks to new subscribers, Sarah Leo, four dreams and ideas, J. Bean and Max Slava, |
| 1:22.4 | and longtime subscribers Ingaloo80, Lee Stone, Karen Meadows, and move E. Buff. Jim, |
| 1:29.1 | these were the early designers on Epcot's original test track whose idea for the world's first |
| 1:35.2 | in-ride drive-through restaurant still remains in the Disney archives waiting for the day when |
| 1:40.6 | someone in management knows the future when they see it. True story. Seriously, that's actually a |
| 1:46.6 | genius idea. Someone at Disney needs to send you a check. Now, because if you had the option of |
| 1:52.4 | hitting that button on the test track vehicle to just slide over to, well, if it's Disney quick |
| 1:57.3 | service, it would only take 40 minutes. You're thinking of Disney Land, Jim. Oh, I'm sorry. |
