  • THC 88: Bringing Back Lost Attractions, Revamping Oogie Boogie Bash, an Hour at Disneyland with Walt Disney, and a Non-IP Land
    Sep 12 2025

    Join Erik and Ryan this week as they are joined by Erin and Katie as they discuss the lost attractions they would bring back and the current E ticket attractions they would remove to make room for them, how they would revamp Oogie Boogie Bash to make it fresh, new and exciting, what they would do with Walt if they could spend an hour with him in Disneyland, and the non-IP lands based on a myth/legend they think Disney should build. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: You have the power to bring back any lost attraction. To do so, you must first make a sacrifice of a current E Ticket. Which comes back to life and which goes to the attraction museum in the sky? Question 2: Disneyland introduced Oogie Boogie Bash in 2019, and since it's debut, not much about it has changed aside rotating a villain treat trail here and there. If you were in charge of revamping Disneyland's Halloween party, what would you do to make it fresh and new and exciting? Question 3: If you were given one hour to spend at Disneyland with the man Walt Disney himself, what would you eat/ride/do? Question 4: Epic Universe just made a sweet non-IP land based on myth/legend. What is a non-IP myth, legend, fairytale, etc. that Disney should build out a land based on? What would be there? Bonus Question: What is a pre-trip ritual that you have?

    Aug 29 2025

    Join Erik this week as he is joined by Sarah and Ryan as they discuss the family friendly rides they would add to DCA, the best unsung Marvel and Star Wars tie-ins in the parks, the Disney Parks treats they have never tried but have always be curious about, and the overlays that they would create for Disney rides. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: It’s often discussed that DCA needs more rides that don’t have a height restriction and appeal to a younger audience. What is a ride you’d add to DCA that would be enjoyable for the whole family? Let’s imagine that space isn’t an issue for the sake of this question. Question 2: Best unsung Marvel or Star Wars tie-in in the parks (e.g., music, background lore, clever props)? Tell the story behind it. Question 3: What Disney parks treat have you always wondered about but never tried? Why do you think that is? Question 4: If you could create your own overlay on a ride whether it is IP based or not, what would it be? Bonus Question: What would you like to thank Disney for?

  • THC 85: Vacation Planning, Next Thing at Disneyland, Original Disney Movies in Theaters, and Time-Traveling to the Disney Parks
    Aug 1 2025

    Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Marie and Kate as they discuss if they would let someone else plan their Disney vacation from hotel to daily itinerary, what they think should be the next thing added or changed at Disneyland, why they believe fans aren’t going to see original Disney movies in theaters, and what moment they would time travel to in Disney Park history. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: Would you trust someone else to plan your entire Disney vacation “” from hotel to daily itinerary “” without giving you any details until right before you leave? Why or why not? Question 2: What’s the next thing Disney should add or change at Disneyland? Question 3: Every Disney fan I know says that they want more original stories when it comes to Disney and Pixar films rather than relying on sequels and remakes, but it seems that there is a trend of original films doing more poorly at the box office than sequels and remakes (eg Elio vs Lilo & Stitch or Inside Out 2). What do you think is keeping people out of the theater for original stories and if you were put in charge of solving this problem, what would your recommendations be? Question 4: If you could time-travel to any moment in Disney Park history, where would you go and why? Bonus Question: What keeps you from going to the parks more frequently AND what could the company do to help bridge that gap?

  • THC 84: Walt Disney Animatronic, Disney Personality on The Hub Crawl, Adding Marvel and Star Wars to Disney, and the Worst Disney Animated Movie
    Jul 18 2025

    Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Dan and JR as they discuss their thoughts seeing the Walt Disney animatronic and the reactions of other fans, what Disney personality they would invite, living or dead, to The Hub Crawl couch and what they would ask them, wether adding Marvel and Star Wars enhances or dilutes Disney, and what Disney animated movie they feel is the hardest to sit through. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: Now that we’ve all seen the Walt Disney robot what did they get right? What did they mess up? How are the fans reacting and do you think it’s reasonable? Question 2: You get to invite one Disney personality—Imagineer, animator, or executive—living or dead-to sit on The Hub Crawl couch. Who is it, and what three questions must you ask them? (Is three questions too many?) Question 3: As somebody who grew up in the 80s, Disney had what, at least to me, felt like a very defined image that it presented in its works and parks. Colors were vibrant, good and evil were often pretty straight forward, and there was a certain degree of what I would consider “innocent wonder”. in 2009, Disney acquired Marvel. Not to be outdone, they acquired Star Wars in 2012. Both of those properties feel like a departure from their 20th century offerings. Do you feel that the addition of Marvel and Star Wars to the Disney catalog enhances or dilutes what Disney used to be? Question 4: What Disney animated movie do you think is the hardest to sit through? Bonus Question: What perk(s) would you like to see Disney add for MagicKey holders. If you don’t currently have a Key, what (aside from lowering the price) could Disney change about the current program that would entice you to get one?
