This week, Imagineer Jim Shull joins Jim Hill and Len Testa to finish the wild story of how Cars Land was built at Disney California Adventure. Along the way, the guys cover everything from gorillas and Muppets to a scuba diver who robbed Paddlefish.

  • Tomorrowland’s Cool Ship replacement that looks suspiciously like a McDonald’s drive-thru
  • The life of Gino the gorilla and why Animal Kingdom will never be the same
  • A Florida man in scuba gear robs Paddlefish and swims away with the cash
  • Sabrina Carpenter, Seth Rogen, and the Muppets’ big 50th anniversary comeback
  • How Disney pulled off Cars Land’s massive rockwork and what it means for Piston Peak at Magic Kingdom

From new construction projects to classic park traditions, this episode looks at the details shaping Disney’s past, present, and future.
