Welcome back to another edition of the Disney Dish Podcast with Jim Hill.

It's me, Lentesta, and this is our show for the week of Shmer's Day, October 10th, 2022.

On the show today, news, a new Disney dining survey, and in listener questions,

how much would you love a virtual walkthrough of opening day Epcot?

Then in our main segment, Jim tells us about the 1999 redo of Epcot's journey into

imagination. Let's get started by bringing in the man who says that sometimes life is a tornado,

and you're the cow being spun around for cinematic purposes. It's Mr. Jim Hill. Jim, how's it going?

Moving right along, Lent. You and I both have spent far too much time on the past week on

planes, and so it's just planes, trains, boats. There we go. There we go. I'm like one submarine

away from transportation. I think I'll go here. I think.

On your balloon. I don't know what I'll say. Okay. Well, good to hear that for now. You've

stopped moving. Oh, hold on. Jim, there's a Kimmel double parked outside. I think my ride is

going to hold on. Wow, that's quite the uber. Let's just, let's get it right and make a new

project. Good. Good. All right. All right. Let's do a quick shout out to subscribers over at

Disney dish. That's bandcamp.com. Thanks to new subscribers, Henry Pine, Will Bostic,

Chicago Daily, and Dan Pannos, and longtime subscribers, Dr. Kai Layton, Mark McInnes,

Redbeard 25, and Will known Steelers van Sam Merichini. Jim, these are the Disney

Imagineers who proposed an adventure land redo that made Swiss family triass the lift hill

for a water slide into the jungle cruise rivers. They say Disney management was on board with the idea

until the jungle cruise hippos started using the slide and the skipper started having flashbacks

to the infamous flying hippos incident of 83, which put it in into the whole thing. True story.

Okay. Yes. The flying hippos of 83. Yes. Yes. It's important to establish a lore in your stories.
