Description

Jim Hill and Len Testa dig into how fans really rate Disney’s nighttime spectaculars — and why those scores decide which shows stay and which ones fade away. Along the way, they cover the latest park news and wrap up the story of how Jack Sparrow sailed into Pirates of the Caribbean.

  • TouringPlans survey data reveals the winners and losers among Disney’s fireworks and nighttime shows

  • Why “average” ratings are the kiss of death for spectaculars like Enchantment

  • New menus and a $65 all-you-can-eat croissant buffet at Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival

  • Destination D23 schedule updates, including hints of a Villains Land presentation

  • Construction progress on Disneyland’s new Marvel e-ticket attraction

  • Universal’s permit filing that could mean another Epic Universe hotel

  • How Johnny Depp, Captain Barbossa, and Davy Jones made their way into the Pirates of the Caribbean rides

From fan-favorite fireworks to the behind-the-scenes drama of Pirates overlays, this episode blends data, history, and Disney news you won’t hear anywhere else.
