    May 23 2025

    Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Ryan and Olivia as they discuss the stores they wish existed in Disney shopping districts, the attractions they think Tage and Erik should go on first on their trip to Disneyland, what they would put in their foodie guides if they could make their own, and the experiences that don’t exist anymore that they wish they could experience again. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: I'm going to riff off of a question from a few weeks ago. What is a store that you wish existed in the Disney Shopping district of your choice (Downtown Disney or Disney Springs)? Question 2: Which attraction should Tage and Erik experience first on their trip to Disneyland in July? Question 3: Disney has put out an insane amount of foodie guides in the past couple of years. You get to make your own foodie guide/foodie booth - it has to have a snack, "main" (think like food and wine festival), drink and dessert. These can be items already in the park in general, past foodie guide offerings, your faves in normal life etc. Question 4: What is an experience that doesn't exist anymore that you would like to do/do again? Bonus Question: If you had to pick one attraction from any Disney theme park that best represents the Disney brand as a whole, what would it be and why? What elements / attributes / emotions come to mind when you think of the brand and how does the attraction relate to those?

  • THC 78: Favorite Jungle Cruise Jokes, New Stunt Shows, Adding Chain Restaurants to the Parks, and Things Disney Never Should Have Done
    Apr 25 2025

    Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Bryan and Olivia as they discuss their favorite Jungle Cruise jokes, what stunt shows the would make based off of an existing IP, what chain restaurants they would add to the parks, and the rides, shows, and experiences they think Disney never should have done. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: Although I'm sure there's more to it, the story goes that they started adding jokes to The Jungle Cruise after Walt heard a family say they didn't want to ride it because they had already done it before. Even as we approach its 70th anniversary along with the park, they're still constantly coming up with new jokes. My question is, what's your favorite Jungle Cruise joke? Question 2: I have Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular on my mind. If you could make a stunt show off another Disney property, what would it be? Question 3: DTD 2.0 seems to be adding in more chain restaurants/stores. What chain restaurant (can be a local or national chain) would you add into a Disney park/resort, where would it go, would it have a theme etc. Question 4: What is a ride/show/expereince that Disney Parks should never have done in the parks? Bonus Question: Alright - the inspiration for this is somewhat selfish as I am working on my "must do list" for WDW and it got me curious - what are your top 3 non- theme park must do things when visiting DLR or WDW. It can be something at any of the hotels, Disney Springs, Downtown Disney, etc? Basically anything that is on Disney property but not inside the gates of a one of the 6 theme parks.
