In this episode we venture out past the reef to do a deep dive into the Walt Disney Studios Production film Moana! We discuss how the creators conducted research for the film and how the history and mythologies of the South Pacific play into the storyline. We also analyze some of our favorite characters, songs and artistic details AND we dig into some compelling fan theories that suggest Moana might have died on her journey or been elevated to a demi-god! And as a bonus, Katie tells us about the meaning of a chicken.

In this episode Katie and I discuss Disney Parks and Resort challenges. Many of the Disney theme parks and resorts have official scavenger hunts or games they offer to guests. But Disney fans are a creative bunch and over the years some fan created challenges have become a popular part of the theme park enthusiast lexicon. The fun thing is, a lot of these challenges apply to any Disney park worldwide! Tune in as we discuss official and unofficial challenges you might want to add to your next trip.

Serpents and spiders, tail of a rat, call in the spirits, wherever theyāre at!
It's the spooky season and in this episode Katie joins me to talk about the Disney characters that give us the creeps. From legendary figures to notorious villains, we're bringing the creepy, the scary, the bone chilling...and...admittedly some offbeat characters to the conversation.
