195. Disney History Everyone Gets Wrong - Distory Nite Shift
Description
Disney people are storytellers… but sometimes they get the story wrong.
On this episode of Distory Nite Shift, we walk through some popular myths in Disney history, including what Walt actually said about Disneyland’s museum status, the origins of Walt Disney World’s (theoretical) weather-controlling dome, and a resident of the Haunted Mansion who isn’t who everyone thinks he is. We also discuss the new addition to the Pirates of the Caribbean treasure room, some oddities in the bayou, and speculate about what is happening with Disney World’s transportation.
We end the evening with a popular debate in Disney history: Should attractions in the Disney parks have screen credits for the Imagineers who brought them to life?
