This week in Disney News, we pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman. Boseman passed away on Friday from colon cancer. Known for his roles as Jackie Robinson in 42 and Tchala in The Black Panther and other Marvel movies, Boseman's powerful portrayal of strong, proud, wonderful black men helped tell the stories of people too long kept in the shadows. He helped give representation to the underrepresented. He will truly be missed.

It's hard to now talk about other Disney news, but there is some, so I guess I'll move forward. Mulan will be released on Disney+ in December, just 3 months after when it'll be out on streaming services to be purchased for $30. We discuss how we think this will impact its performance.
Also, Disney has a new Haunted Mansion reboot movie in the works with writer Katie Dippold, who (most notably for me worked) on the glorious show Parks and Rec.
Lastly, Disney announced that despite canceling Mickey's-Not-So-Scary-Halloween Party, they're still decorating, having special character cavalcades, making special desserts, and letting ADULTS WEAR COSTUMES!!!! Just go to Disney any time between September 15 and October 31 to experience this awesome opportunity!
This week we continue our Overrated/underrated series. As per the norm, we look at the amazing website touringplans.com and use their rating system of 1-5 (one being exceptionally bad to five being amazing) to determine what rides we think are too hyped and which need to receive more love. We go far, far away to Tokyo DisneySea this time.
We struggle a bit with the difficult task of trying to find overrated rides in what’s an exquisitely done park. We flourish and actually agree a lot on many of the rides that are underrated.
How is it possible that a roller coaster gets a 1? Should a carousel be ranked higher than a 2.5? Is the ride with the most buzz worth waiting 1.5 hours? We’ll answer this and so much more!
Thank you for checking us out this week! Don’t forget to leave us a rating and review. It helps us keep doing this and reach a larger audience. Also, if you know someone who loves Disney and likes podcasts, send them a link to our podcast. The more traction we gain, the better we can make this! You guys are awesome!!
