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 Shmer's Day, December 12,

2022.

On the show today, news, listener questions, and news surveys. Then in our main segment, Jim gives us the history of Disneyland's Paradise Pier Hotel,

which is changing yet again. Let's get started by bringing in the man who says that

when people tell you to embrace your inner child,

point out that yours is Wednesday Adams.

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

It's going well. And by the way, have you watched the Tim Burton limited series?

I'm through four episodes. Laurel and I started watching it this week.

I love it. I think it's fun.

Episode one was sort of iffy for me.

Like a cross between, like I was telling Laurel,

it felt to me like it was the chilling

adventures of Wednesday Adams the teenage witch you know it kind of had that vibe to

it but but it's coming to its own yeah all. All right. Well, that's again. I'm looking forward to watching myself. I've heard nothing but good things from folks who've seen it. So not exactly what you want to be watching headed into the holiday season.

It's kind of funny because it opens up with Wednesday, Adams getting kicked out of

Nancy Reagan junior high.

I think like...

I'm already loving some of the lines out of it and at one point one of her classmates at the new school

is like, care to take a stab at that? And Ben says, well I do like stabbing.

Yeah, yeah there's a lot of stuff like that. It's good dialogue.
