Welcome back to another edition of the Disney dish podcast with Jim Hill. It's me, Lantesta, and this is our show for the week of Schmer's Day, February 5th, 2024. On the show today, news, and to listener questions.

Then in our main segment, Jim continues the story of Illuminations.

Let's get started by bringing in the man whose 2024 New Year's resolutions have just been nominated for the Man Booker Prize in short fiction.

It's Mr. Jim Hill. Congratulations Jim. How's it going?

Oh, come on. We're actually recording this week's show on Thursday, February 1st, okay?

And it's a leap year. So I still have 333 days to pull off this year's resolution.

I, you know, there's still time, come on.

We're only 8% of the way through the year.

You've got plenty of time, plenty of time.

There we go, okay. All right all right Jim let's do a quick

shout out to our Patreon subscribers thanks to everyone who subscribes to the show over at patreon dot com slash jimial media including Lyle Henneke, Craig Groff Folsom, Paul from Worldwide,

Tim Colleen, Mitchell Reed, and Dory, Gearly Girl.

Jim, these are the Disney musicians, now playing three sets a day in Frontierland during the country

bear jamboree refurb. They say that it's great to meet the guests and share a favorite song

and that their love of country, Western and Mariachi music is the inspiration for their group name, Arriba McIntyre. True story.

Oh, somebody's gotta to use that name.

That's a great name.

And you'll see in the show notes,
