Episode 68: Love & Carbonite
Sunday May 05, 2024
Sunday May 05, 2024
With us being a couple and another Star Wars Day just completed, we wanted to talk about the iconic love (or lack thereof) of Leia Organa and Han Solo. We wanted to take a closer look into the "I love you"/"I know" shirts we see couples wearing around the Disney Parks. Were Han and Leia in a healthy relationship? What other actresses were almost cast as our beloved Princess? Is there a difference between Carbonite and Kryptonite? Answers to all these questions and more lie ahead for you!

Sunday Apr 28, 2024
Sunday Apr 28, 2024
Hollywood Studios is turning 35 this week (meaning it's just figuring itself out and has a new air of confidence), so we thought we'd talk about its most iconic attraction, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. We're plunging up and down this thrill ride to get you all the facts we can muster and we share our first times entering the 5th Dimension. Plus, we answered some listener questions. Will there be a new festival to cover the gap between Flower & Garden into Food & Wine? Do newly filed permits mean that Journey Into Imagination with Figment is closing???

Sunday Apr 21, 2024
Sunday Apr 21, 2024
Almost as important as what you do in the parks, you have to know how to get there. This week, we talked about the iconic Disney Monorail. Could you imagine a world without the Monorail? I don't want to and ,thankfully, you could ride them in 3 different Disney Parks. Can you name all three? And no, you're not allowed to Google it. On top of the transpo talk, we've got news and a lot of Abbie submissions for DHE listener names.

You might love it! You might not even like it! You might not care either way! In classic DHE style, we covered the news happening round the parks!

Much to Rob's chagrin, we talk about what's happening over in the Disneyland exclusive Star Wars celebration known as "Season of the Force".
