Welcome Foolish Mortals to the Grim Grinning Dads. In this episode, the dads break down the latest Disney Parks rumors and expansion news, including Bluey at Animal Kingdom, the future of EPCOT, Villains Land at Magic Kingdom, Cars Land replacing Rivers of America, and updates from Disneyland.

Then they react to two major trailer drops — The Mandalorian & Grogu and Toy Story 5 — sharing their honest thoughts, expectations, and classic dad humor along the way.

If you enjoy Disney Parks news, movie reactions, and balanced fan conversations without the pixie dust overload, this is your kind of show.

Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Grim Grinning Dads, the show where three Disney-obsessed dads share travel tips, hot takes, and a whole lot more.

In this episode, Tyler, Charlie, and Caleb dive into a mix of Disney news before celebrating 25 years of Disney California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort. We break down the newly announced 2027 itineraries from Disney Cruise Line — including the Disney Wish heading to Europe for the first time, Alaska sailings returning, and the new Disney Adventure sailing out of Singapore with all-at-sea itineraries.

We also talk about the updated animatronics on Frozen Ever After and some hilarious (and slightly concerning) ride breakdown moments on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.

Then we shift west to celebrate 25 years of Disney California Adventure — how the park has evolved, whether it’s lost its identity, and what the next 25 years could look like with new lands on the horizon. We wrap it up with our must-do rides, food, and experiences — from Radiator Springs Racers and Guardians to Lamplight Lounge and yes… Corn Dog Castle.

If you love Disneyland debates, Disney Cruise dreams, and strong opinions about park cohesion, this episode is for you.

Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Grim Grinning Dads, the show where three Disney-obsessed dads share travel tips, hot takes, and this week, some big thoughts about Disney’s future.

In this episode, we’re talking about Josh D’Amaro being named the next CEO of The Walt Disney Company and what that could mean for Disney Parks. We break down his Parks background, discuss rising ticket prices, Lightning Lane frustrations, storytelling, IP expansion, and whether the guest experience has shifted in recent years.

Is this a turning point for Walt Disney World and Disneyland? Could this be the beginning of a great big beautiful tomorrow? Let’s talk about it.
