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, December 6, 2021.

On the show today, news, listener questions, and in our our main segment Jim Hill looks back at the

opening of new fantasy land in particular something that flew over the Magic

Kingdom that night back in December of 2012. Let's get started by bringing in the man who says that if his chestnuts are roasted on a closed fire this holiday season,

he's going to lose this ever loving mind.

It's Mr. Jim Hill.

Jim, how's it going? It's fine it's fine lend.

By the way those are song lyrics you really do not want to screw up because of

you're with friends and family and start singing about how Jack Frost roasting on an open fire and chestnuts nipping at your nose and you get some very strange looks.

I go with, I typically open with chipmunks roasting on an open fire which is the same number of syllables as chestnuts, but not what people are expecting.

Christmas, Christmas time is here.

All right, never mind.

All right, Jim, let's do a quick shout out to subscribers over at Disneyish.

Bandcamp.com.

Thanks to new subscribers Bud Dixon, Matt Kuhn, and Bill Fair, and long- longtime subscribers Laura Homala 615, Steve Panzarella, and K.S. Cooper, Jim.

These are the folks who have the unenviable task of teaching the script for Animal Kingdom's upcoming show,

Finding Nemo The Big Blue and Beyond, which is scheduled to debut in 2022,

to Dory the Forgetful Blue Tang. and if you see these folks at a bar after work

do not walk up to behind them and say line unless you really want to see a bunch of

theater people cry true True story. Did you ever hear the story about how Ellen Degenerous actually got the role of

Dory? No.
