Welcome back to another edition of Disney dish podcast. It's me Jim Hill. And this is our show for the week of Schmerz Day, August 22nd, 2022.

On the show today, comments and corrections and a listener email and in our main segment, Chrissy Harrison of Turingplans.com joins me for an update on Epcot's International Food and Wine Festival.

And Chrissy shares her impression of this year's edition of the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

Let's get started by bringing in the woman who truth be told is actually my favorite test. Don't tell Len. It's Chrissy Harrison.

Hi, Jim. Thanks for having me. I support this message.

Well, I cannot tell you the number of times people run it is like right here and like, oh, we so enjoyed the show that Chrissy was on it. And you would like to nice too.

I paid them all. It's my welfare. Well, so to explain here, your brother is on the move again. As I understand it, he and his lovely wife, Laura are up in Canada.

Even as we speak doing a scenic rail trip. Is that right or maybe in things with backpipes is all I know. I maple syrup. I'm not absolutely sure.

Okay. I actually did this once back in 1985. This was the year that Amtrak was supposedly teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.

And I got invited by the PR team at Disneyland to come on out to Anaheim. That was the year they were doing their 30th anniversary party for Disneyland.

So they were holding a 30 hour long party at the park. And I remember a lot of people going into great moments with Mr Lincoln, because that then allowed them to sleep for 20 minutes.

So I was in the army at the time. I used my two weeks of leave that I got annually to for what I thought would be this epic train trip around again, out to California and back and scenery from Chicago to Seattle and then Seattle down to LA.

All the way back to Boston was spectacular. But the first leg of Boston to Chicago was basically a trip that took you by everybody's overgrown backyard that had rusted out car in it.

Closing credits of a 1970s sitcom. There we go. There we go. So has Len checked in since he's been away or literally just to brag or

and make me feel poorly about sweating in the magic kingdom. Just literally like, oh, there's a bagpipe on the dining car. And we got the deluxe food package.

How is your case is hot dog, you know, that's really taking a real vacation and much, much deserve much.

I agree. I'd speaking of food and that's I did get a hit did him on the train, evidently, they make stops as a cruise by Canada's more scenic spots and your brother was looking for suggestions about where he and Laurel could possibly go to eat want their train stops.

And I suggested, well, if the train stops in dog river, he and his wife should go to the ruby for one of their world famous, she'll eat cheese dogs or if the train stops in Melonville.

There's always doctor tongues 3D house of pancakes. I heard that the train was going to stop in letter candy, which is why Leonard or trying to decide whether they're going to not to go to Modins or to eat at the restaurant and Canadian sitcom fans will get those jokes.

Anyway, before Christine, I get started here. We would as always like to thank Disney dish as most recent subscribers and that is glass Joe, brother Buccini and Dave Jackson, as well as long time subscriber Paul Sheer, Texas Bill and sniffles 54.

Now, Christine, if you can believe this, these six individuals are the people who actually poke guests in the butt as they are attending screenings of its tough to be a bug inside of the 3D theater that's located in the tree of life at Disney's animal kingdom theme park.

Disney doesn't hire just anyone for this position. There is a lengthy audition process. One must prove that you can scuttle around within a darkened theater in complete silence.
