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, February 16th, 2026th. On the show today,

multimodal transportation news, listener questions, surveys, and a new Disney patent application

that might be for Piston Peak. Then in our main segment, Jim starts on the history of Hollywood

studio's great movie ride. Let's get started by bringing in the man whose public speaking

teacher said, just be yourself. And now everyone's crying and he needs a lawyer. It's Mr. Jim Hill.

Jim has it going. Well, speaking of public speaking, Len, I may have misspoken myself last

week when we were discussing

Valentine's Day, and particularly the feast component are associated with this holiday, because

Sarah Hayes wrote in to say, hi, Jim and Len. I was listening to this week's Disney dish and wanted

to correct a minor misconception. The feast of St. Valentine's originally had nothing to do

with eating. All days to honor saints in the Catholic Church are called feasts because of the,

they come from the Latin root, feastest, which means joy. So the same route is festival.

So congratulations, St. Valentine's Day.

You're officially assented.

It only took decapitation to get there.

Sarah goes on to say as a lifelong Catholic and nerd who took Latin in high school, I knew the answer.

And as a librarian, I also checked with the second source, my best friend, and Disney Park's buddy, religious study professor Jill Peter Fesco, who we recently had on the show one. And so she wishes us both a happy Valentine's Day, however, we honor him.

And I just, I want to say that there's a part of me that wanted this to be Johann Gutenberg's, you know, fault.

You know, I just said, I picture him back in the 15th century, you know, he's there working on a giant block of type.

And his assistant runs in and goes, we're out of A's.

And it's like, and so Gutenberg, okay, cut all the A's out of the word feast.
