Welcome back to another edition of the Disney dish podcast with Jamil. It's me, Lynn Testa, and this is our show for the week of Schmer's Day, November 28, 2022. On the show today, news, listener questions, and a new survey from Universal.

Then in our main segment, Jim finishes up the history of when McDonald's proposed a new attraction for

Disneyland.

Let's get started by bringing in the man who always sets two wake-up alarms,

when for the person he wants to be and when for the person he is.

It's Mr. Jim, Jim, how's it going?

It's going well, Len.

And by the way, a pointless bit of trivia to start off this week's show, the first American alarm clock was actually invented here in my home state, New Hampshire. A Levi Hutchins invented it back in 1787 and he only made it for

himself though. And was he the least popular guy in the colony? Well, given that it only rang at 4 o'clock in the morning, yes, I say yes.

Not the strategy you want to use when you're trying to get through those first pilgrim winters, Jim.

No, no, no, no.

But on the other hand, if your neighbors, you know, when they hit the alarm go off, throw firewood

at you, hey, you know, you don't have to go out and collect kindling.

Exactly.

He said, maybe he was smarter than all of us. It could be.

And speaking of smarter than all of us, Jim, let's thank subscribers over at

Disney dish.bandcamp.com. Thanks to new subscribers Max Fahlvey, James Vasquez, Taye Dish and Adam Fortner, and the long-time

subscribers Elventoris, Jim Burmister, and Mike D. B. O. 523.

Jim, these are the folks now in line to head various Disney

theme park divisions such as the Cabinet of Haunted Mansion

overlay ideas, the Department of How Much Candy We Can Stuff in a Halloween

bag, and Churo Acquisition, North America. True story. I have questions, Len.
