New Video Series with Imagineer Jim Shull: Disney Unpacked

Ten years ago, Jim Hill and I started our journey together in the podcasting world with the Disney Dish. Over the years, we’ve explored hidden corners of Disney history, taken deep dives into the secrets of the parks, and shared countless stories. Today, the Disney Dish is one of the most popular travel podcasts available. It’s been an incredible ride, and I couldn’t be prouder. But today, I’m excited to share something new and special with you – the launch of “Disney Unpacked.”

Unpacking the Magic: The Debut of “Disney Unpacked”

“Disney Unpacked” isn’t just another video podcast. We’ll be uncovering the history of how some of your favorite Disney theme park rides, shows, and attractions came into existence. Let me tell you, it’s truly a journey back in time.

Part of what’s going to make this so special is the addition of a brilliant mind to our team: Jim Shull. In case you’ve never heard that name, Jim is a retired Disney Imagineer of 33 years. So we’ve got Jim Hill’s encyclopedic knowledge of Disney history. We’ve got my obsession with data and planning. And we’ve got Jim Shull’s behind-the-scenes insights. I’m sure you can see how “Disney Unpacked” is poised to take you on an unforgettable trip through Disney’s past and present.
