Skywalking Through Neverland: A Star Wars / Disney Podcast

We kicked off the Halloween theme park season with Mickey's Halloween Party at Disneyland! This special ticketed event is a great way to ease into the Halloween spirit. Adults can dress up, and we dressed as R2 and BB-8 to trick-or-treat around the park and take pictures with the adorable chipmunks.  Then it's on to the scarier side of Halloween at Knott's Scary Farm - a not-to-be-missed annual event! This year we took Halloween theme park newbie Peter Heitman - Sarah's dad! He joins us to discuss our adventure.  What's scarier than Halloween? The news that Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple show at Disneyland will end on November 3rd after a 12-year run!! No, that's not true. It's impossible!! Let's discuss. Also on this episode: Marvel Rising: Secret Warrior Hasbro Doll Review - Squirrel Girl, Ms. Marvel, Patriot and America Chavez showcase a diversity of size and race. These dolls rock. Here's Sarah's write-up and Red Carpet interviews with voice cast and crew. Happy Beeps from Mark Newbold. SUPPOR
