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, September 20, 2021.

On the show today, news, listener questions.

And in our main segment, Jim tells us what Walt Disney World was like two weeks before its opening in 1971.

Let's get started by bringing in the man who asks, do you like seeing movies in theaters?

Or do you like eating candy in the dark while no one can interrupt you?

It's Mr. Jim Hill.

Jim, how's it going?

It's going okay.

Speaking of theaters though, Lynn, 40 years ago ago when I was in college,

I ran a cinema in Acton, Massachusetts,

the Acton Twin.

Anyway, we had a cat that lived up in the projection booth

that loved the real butter that we used to put in our popcorn.

In fact, this cat loved butter so much it would periodically sneak out of a projection booth and then

skulk around the theaters, would then try to find somebody who just gotten hot butter put on their popcorn.

And I always knew the cat got out because I would be in the middle of the summer romantic comedy like the good

my girl and I'd suddenly hear this blood curling scream you know

coming out of an auditor because some poor soul was frightened out of their mind

because this cat paw had come out of nowhere and pulled it their popcorn bucket.

So, you know, it's like, yeah, it's like, I know of things coming out of the dark,

you know, in a theater.
