Mike's Trip to Lagoon with Dave Christenson
Ep 459 · Aug 14, 2026 · 1 hr 58 min
Mike’s recent trip to Salt Lake City’s Lagoon amusement park was great, albeit with a little confusion. So the PTR boys brought in a guy who grew up there, Mark David Christenson, to help guide them through some of Lagoon’s weirdness. Can he answer all their questions?

Pre-23 (D23 Preview)
Ep 458 · Aug 7, 2026 · 1 hr 31 min
Every two years, Disney gathers fans at their convention in Anaheim to look at old robots from the archives, buy exclusive merch, and sit in rooms cheering/frothing at the mouth (in a good way) for announcements. So, just like two years ago, PTR is placing bets on which mouth-frothing announcements we may or may not hear. Hopefully, this intense, high-stakes betting won’t lead to all three of us developing gambling problems. "SpeeDee Round" episode is up at: Patreon.com/Po…

Ep 457 · Jul 31, 2026 · 1 hr 55 min
McMonth is coming to a close (in front of the paywall), but we can't fully digest until Mike Mitchell (Doughboys) returns to PTR to talk slides, ball pits, and extremely warm, humid tubes.

Happy Meal Toys with Justin Michael
Ep 455 · Jul 24, 2026 · 2 hr 11 min
Delicious food. Beautiful architecture. That would be enough—but no. McDonald's upped the ante even more by putting toys in its kids' meals. TaleSpin, Batman Returns, Star Trek: The Motion Picture! All the kids' favorites! Justin Michael (Among Us) returns to sort through decades of amazing Happy Meal toys.

Mac Tonight with Mike Scollins
Ep 454 · Jul 17, 2026 · 1 hr 55 min
For a brief period in the 1980s, McDonald's used a jazz singer with a talking moon for a head to promote the idea of eating hamburgers at night. It worked! Despite only appearing for a short time, this suave moon man still lives in the hearts of many adult podcasters. Mike Scollins (Late Night with Seth Meyers) returns to PTR to share in the general fondness for our good pal Mac.

Bluey's Best Day Ever!
Ep 451 · Jun 26, 2026 · 1 hr 35 min
Bluey makes her Disneyland debut! And it's on the very stage that once hosted Videopolis. It's nice to see it's still a place for dancing, even if the average age has gone from 22 to 2.

Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets*
Ep 449 · Jun 12, 2026 · 1 hr 28 min
At Disney's Hollywood Studios, the stars of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster have been replaced. Aerosmith is out. The Muppets are in. To one of our hosts, this was a catastrophic mistake. To the other hosts—and maybe the public at large—it was mostly a good idea. Who's right? We'll definitively answer that question by the end of this podcast! *We have not actually ridden the ride. However, thanks to our finely tuned theme park assessment skills, we're confident we can determine its quality from a copiou…
Somehow, Galaxy’s Edge Returned with Todd Martens
Ep 448 · Jun 5, 2026 · 1 hr 54 min
Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge is going through some, uh, changes. It’s not aging—it’s de-aging. Part of the land is going back in time, while part of the land is staying the same. This is normal stuff for a massive, multi-million-dollar IP-based theme park land entering its seventh year on planet Earth. It’s nothing to worry about. Todd Martens (LA Times) is here to answer any of the tough questions we have about the process! "Electric Mice Orchestra" episode is up at: Patreon.com/Pod…
Unlocked: The Michael Graves Causeway (Scott's Birthday Shot)
Ep 447 · May 29, 2026 · 1 hr 43 min
Scott just turned 40 years old. What says 40 more than a quiet, attraction-free path that connects two outstandingly dated Disney World hotels? Is it too late to ask for separate Swan-and-Dolphin-shaped cakes, connected by a marzipan causeway? Enjoy this unlocked episode from the PTR Patreon!

Discovery Island
Ep 438 · Mar 13, 2026 · 2 hr 12 min
Pre–Animal Kingdom, Disney World threw a bunch of real animals on an island and visitors floated over for a sleepy half-day experience. Years later, the island is closed, the infrastructure is rotting, and urban explorers have made countless island videos. Instead of parachuting onto the decaying island and making a video, PTR chose to do an audio podcast instead. It's a lot easier than evading Orlando police!

Pandemonium Cartoon Circus with Marissa Strickland
Ep 434 · Feb 6, 2026 · 1 hr 48 min
When Islands of Adventure’s Toon Lagoon opened, an “innovative” new show debuted. Rocky and Bullwinkle, Betty Boop, and Beetle Bailey got together to put on a revue filled with razzle-dazzle crap. It was not exactly well received, and it closed within nine months. Ancient funny-page characters? Hooray-for-Hollywood bullshit? Seems like the perfect PTR and Marissa Strickland topic to me!
