This week, we're excited to share with you an interview that is one of our favorites from our more than 7 years of doing this show. We couldn't be more thrilled about the show and this episode's Totally Awesome Discussion with James Eason-Garcia. He's the Co-Executive Producer & Story Editor for Iron Man and His Awesome Friends which debuted on Disney Jr. & Disney+ just last week. He talks all about this fantastic new show and shares interesting behind-the-scenes stories. We also delve into many of the other fantastic projects he's worked on including Elena of Avalor & Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures. More importantly, he's a fun, interesting and engaging person with a fantastic story to share. We know you're going to love this episode just as much as we do!

Once we finish our Totally Awesome Discussion with James Eason-Garcia, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week. In this episode, we share our thoughts on the recently released glimpses into several reimagined Walt Disney World attractions including Rock 'n' Roller Coaster starring The Muppets, Big Thunder Mountain & Zootopia: Better Zoogether. We also tell you all about the new Disney Cruise Line itineraries you're going to want to look into if you're planning on sailing in late 2026 or early 2027.

We can't help but be thrilled when our friends visit our old stomping grounds. Our excitement level only increases when it's their first visit or their first in a long time. Both were in play this week for our friends Troy & Mimi from the Disney Assembled podcast. They just returned from a recent Disneyland visit and we're generous to share their time with us as we go Disney Assembling at The Happiest Place On Earth. They join us to share their impressions of Walt's original park and discuss many of the things they experienced during their recent vacation.

Once we complete our time Disney Assembling at The Happiest Place On Earth with Troy & Mimi, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week. In this episode, we discuss reservation day for the new, pirate-themed tavern coming to Magic Kingdom hitting treacherous waters. We also talk about some of the panels we're most excited for at the upcoming Destination D23 event at Walt Disney World. And we share a few of the new tasty treats we can't wait to sample at this year's EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.
