About this episode

Riley and Aaron discuss Disney's announcement of investing $60 billion over 10 years into their parks, with $1.9 billion specifically going to Disneyland expansions.

They analyze what the investments could go towards, like potential new lands, rides, and expansions based on concepts from Disney parks overseas.

Aaron shares his experiences on new rides like Tron and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind during a recent trip to Walt Disney World.

Both discuss their favorite parts of recent trips to Epcot and Hollywood Studios, including thoughts on Journey of Water and other attractions.

They also look forward to the potential for the parks with this large investment and how Disney can stay ahead of the competition.
