What do the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Bette Midler, defunct tram tours, Michael Eisner, "Ernest Saves Christmas," Robin Williams, motorcades, and Dorothy's ruby slippers all have in common? Walt Disney World's Disney-MGM Studios! Special guest Tiffany Lanae Sutton, a Disney-MGM superfan, takes co-hosts Jessica and Melanie on a trip down memory lane to visit her favorite Disney park during its heyday when it was both a working film and animation studio AND a theme park. Known today as Disney's Hollywood Studios, it's now home to several new lands and attractions, including Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, and Toy Story Land. But will Tiffany ever return to the park that broke her heart? Listen to find out, and stay for the 90s shenanigans!
