That’s not the only show discussed in the podcast! Fantasmic! has new updates due to technological advances, though the heart of the story remains the same. There’s a new audio system, new music, new lighting, and new projections! And the show will feature a new segment with some popular characters.

While those were the main topics mentioned in the podcast, they also ate 50th Anniversary treats, tried food from Connections Eatery, spoke with Josh D’Amaro, talked about EPCOT’s future with the new CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza, and more!
