Brand New Walt Disney Imagineering Series, Tropical Americas at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and More

In this episode, Tim and Nick spend time discussing information revealed with the start of Disney’s new KZbin series, We Call It Imagineering. A short that was released by Disney onto KZbin reveals to us that Tropical Americas does indeed seem to be what will replace Dinoland USA at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Nick and Tim are here to talk about it. They also discuss the animatronics revealed to us through the series that will be a part of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Other news that was revealed this week pertains to the plans to add a Pandora experience at Disneyland Resort. Concept art was revealed this week for what seems to be a new land. Naturally, Nick and Tim have some thoughts. There are also plenty of tangents including Hi Dad Soup moments! We hope you enjoy tracking with us!

I’m loving this IKEA kitchen! That Tracks makes my Mondays better! I love listening to you both! 🏰

[@mariaboyer7188]

Nick, I love the way you tell people that you are proud of them!

[@cucug8324]

I was waiting for Tim to say that Mia Wasikowska plays Alice in the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland films. I’m sure he would have known who she is.

[@rachelreynolds0430]

Same! I love Mia W!

[@maryperez810]

We have been watching Tim so long, we no longer notice his eye. We love ❤️ the Trackers and this podcast. 😊

[@tiffanyann9763]

I meant to mention this before, that normally places(restaurants, churches etc) tell the kids they can find “X” amount of eggs. They calculate how many kids are doing the hunt and then put out enough eggs for the kids to get “X” amount. Normally it’s not a free for all where they just send kids out in a stampede to grab as many eggs as they can. That sounded crazy and a recipe for disaster.

[@MrsMur725]

Nick you are my spirit animal like for real! Night owl, not into HHN, the beach calms our soul... There's so much that I'm like yep that's why I like watching you.. we're the same!! I truly appreciate how real you are and how vulnerable you are!! I know it's not easy... I just hope you know there are lots of us that appreciate you!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@GretchB-rg5eg]

You were talking about the John Williams music & I have to say he is a national treasure!! Our local philharmonic did a whole concert of his music, it was great & the whole balcony was filled with teenagers from local schools & they loved it. He has created The musical score of a generation.

[@adventurouslifeofmindy]

I totally agree about the points around pandora. It would be crazy to get rid of grizzly peak based off of where it’s located

[@cindywright4989]

Nick we watched the Ten Commandments on ABC Saturday, as usual its was wonderful! 14:39

[@mystikhrs476]

Marriage Story was pretty raw, though I did like it. I like movies like that every once in awhile. Ones where they don’t wrap up in the end, everyone is flawed. It’s more real. However, one has to be in the mood for that and if you don’t know what you’re going to watch… it can be jarring. I also expected the movie to work out differently haha.

[@tammyknowles1032]

Nick my happy place is the beach, it really helps my mental health as well.

[@annachrist8442]

Love you two!!!

[@vacationmode6286]

Nice ability to make a coffee in your IKEA kitchen -- love Tim's outlet comment - so awesome that you are going to D23!!!

[@bethburnett9934]

Love watching you 2! Great dynamic. As far as Space 220, me and my husband finally got to go a few weeks ago and it was so good. The steak alone was worth it. Hope you enjoy Nick!

[@Stormy3NDS]

I like this duo and the banter between them, that being said. Nick seems to dominate the conversation most of the time and i wish it was a bit more balanced. We hear a LOT about Nick and his experiences and opinions, and the times that Tim does manage to get a word in, Nick finds a way to interrupt and make it about himself again. And the whole "Im proud of you" type stuff comes off as REAAALLLY condescending. This isn't meant to be a hurtful comment, more so one to bring some self awareness bc nobody else is really mentioning it, and I know Im not the only person who notices it. I work in an office of about 30 ppl and we listen to this podcast every week, and the majority of us agree that we'd like to hear a little more from Tim and get his perspective and experience, without some of the snarky remarks from Nick or him kinda brushing over what Tims saying so he can yet again get HIS voice heard.

[@cheriejohnson7294]

When we brought our kids to Disneyworld for their first visit (from UK) we did the space 220 just for the experience. We opted for the lounge so we could still get the experience and just ordered desserts and drinks. Kids loved it and it suited us better as the general menu wasn't anything our kids liked. Fun experience but very expensive

[@wizardmom2396]

Ok but Tracks is an amazing film 😂 You get kudos from the Adam Driver fandom on that one. Great podcast as always, you make my Mondays so much better!

[@user-pe8lw1rq6d]

Love listening to you both here in the UK ❤

[@kayleetrickey6425]

Late dinner all the way. The pool areas clear out during that time!

[@shelbyrayleen90]

Disney was like "I'll give you a Blue Sky!!"

[@FairyGodmother]

I think the reason Disney are revealing so many new Parks plans before D23 is to keep pace with the excitement for Universal Epic Universe. I’m sure D23 will have plenty of new exciting revelations. For me I’m hoping for something about my home Park Disneyland Paris.

[@awaters25]

Halloween Horror Night is really fun. Coming from someone who will not watch horror movies I go to this. It is not that bad. I feel like the older I get the less scary it is. For the most part I laugh at how other people react as I’m walking through the houses. I think Nick would enjoy it.

[@thatderek]

Late night podcast on the cruise? Lol, you definitely haven't seen the latest cruise videos Nick. Not sure Tim ever made it past 10pm. Side note- Would be really funny to see both of you guys doing a podcast from the bathroom though. 😂

[@KatieKate5571]

Nick - you need to plan a Disneyland trip around a time see John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl. There’s nothing more iconic.

[@austingirl39]

Oliver reminded me of the ringer in the diaper race 😂😂😂😂

[@jessf_2001]

I like having more IP at the park. Fun Fact: Partial solar eclipses can be seen up to 3,000 miles from the "track" of totality.

[@evnkas]

I think Pandora is going into the backlot. That entire back area around Monsters Inc, which is mostly unused, and expanding out into the esplanade / bus loop area.

[@traceyhill7784]

Great podcast as usual - it's strange because my husband has what we call his sleepy eye, always a sign when he is tired, but means we can look after him and check he is OK...make sure you get enough rest Tim and good luck with the running. We are planning to do the 5k on Castaway as a family (husband, me, daughter and 6yr old granddaughter)...our SIL says he will wait on the beach with a Pina Colada! lol, if I don't get myself in gear I'll be joining him 😂

[@traceyhill7784]

OMG binge watched the first two series of OMITB, hilarious, then couldn't wait to watch the next...roll on the UK release of series 4

[@Amy-yh8kf]

I think Disney probably felt some pressure from fans to announce something since Universal released news about their upcoming park, but, I could be wrong🤷‍♀

[@FairyGodmother]

That’s what I thought also

[@haylidouglas8179]

I feel like Disney is releasing some information for these “Blue Sky” ideas to compete with Universal a bit with Epic Universe. Maybe they are finally understanding they need to step their game up! 🤔

[@terrydrosselmeier8163]

love you guys but miss you together in the same room.

[@tommycre4115]

The beach is my place too Nick

[@carlygee8866]

You guys should take a trip to Denver its beautiful I would watch those vlogs pls doo ittt

[@FunnyTrophy-sj2in]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@rayay9581]

Tokyo’s Indiana Jones is the Dinosaur ride themed to South America.

[@KW93747]

Idk why everyone is surprised by the start date of HHN. It’s Labor Day weekend just like it’s been for years.

[@brantlie_boone]

The stitch parking lot isn’t close to the parks. Like, not close enough to be able to enter it through the parks.

[@Amy-yh8kf]

I also stopped watching The Walking Dead when Glen died!

[@tiffanyann9763]

❤❤❤

[@frannygillanders5806]

It will be the story from Tokyo Disneyland

[@jessicashanks6020]

I feel like Pandora could take over the area where Monsters Inc is at in DCA.

[@MikeR65]

Tim I just wanted to say as a technician with over 30 years in the appliance business listening to Homeowners is not the best idea when it comes to choosing an appliance. Most don’t understand how their appliances work and a lot of the time they themselves are the cause of the problems they are having. The people who work on them are the ones you want advice from. You had such a good experience with your washer I would have no problem saying to replace yours with another of the same brand. Also having worked for Speed Queen a while back they are well built machines but they don’t have the wash action to properly clean clothes. The agitation stroke is long and slow. I prefer a front loading machine. You just need to read the user manual and follow the directions and you will have properly cleaned clothes. Sorry for the long comment but I thought you could use a professional opinion.

[@mystikhrs476]

I LOVE the idea of tropical America’s. I was one of those who hated so much IP in the park. Born in 1982 I grew up a 45 minute drive away for Disneyland, I grew up with so much original ideas and the thought they HAD to tie to movies was sad to me. HOWEVER, I love it now. I really enjoy AK and how immersive it is and I hope tropical Americas work IP in alongside the very cool and unique originality of AK.

[@jocelynmyers]

yup, same here with the walking dead. Carl dying was the last straw

[@mdwfmom]

I’m here for the goofiness including disappearing mugs and bodies. Bring it.

[@austingirl39]

FYI....the gulf is part of the Atlantic Ocean.

[@GutterPuddle]

That Tracks Podcast with "Nick" and "Nick Foster" labelled on your Zoom aliases...I think Tim has some envy or something going on...Maybe a topic for next week.

[@sdcraig]

It's an AT-AT. The end.

[@nrs318]

If the zoom podcast is going to continue, maybe just use your normal background? The zoom background is a bit distracting and looks a little weird.

[@kpoptimes5826]

No it’s funny I love it!!!!

[@gnux]

I live in the Appalachian (Blue Ridge) mountains now. I frequently pronounced the mountain range the same way Tim did, but since moving here, I have been educated that it is pronounced like Apple-at-chin. But this is absolutely a place where I feel super rejuvenated and calm in nature. Especially if I'm next to a creek or stream among the green moss...so beautiful and relaxing!

[@MikeR65]

There is more than one way to say Appalachian. The way Tim said it is correct.

[@gnux]

@@MikeR65 okay

[@TravelingBlind]

Oh, dear. You don’t get any say on an RIP nonprivate tour. You will do all the houses in a set amount of time, but guests don’t get to pick the order or anything.

[@hollyperella7861]

Not loving the Zoom format. It reminds me of Covid days. The background is distracting and the podcast is missing the human to human connection between you two.Please get back together in real life. That being said, I still love the podcast so thank you for making it happen despite your scheduling issues.

[@carollugo2489]

Agreed

[@kristiemoore7741]

Resident evil

[@suehuber4922]

What is IP?

[@alexandrablancooo]

Intellectual Property

[@tfat9848]

So confused with all the announcements?? There has to be something big for d23 right?? Wishful thinking

[@bizburgess1947]

This is the second time on 2 days Tim has help is pee too long. Bladder weakens when u don't empty it when it tells u too. Ur health comes first. Love watching this on utube. Thanks guys.

[@tonycourant9771]

Ppl who don’t want IP at the Parks should just go home. Pack it up

[@SuzanneA618]

Well, for me it started with the Beth death, then Glenn, the Carl, etc…too much! You can’t keep removing people from the show that the fans care about 😢 There was nothing left to be a fan of🤷🏻‍♀️ I used to love that show!

[@frannygillanders5806]

Is your wife's name Francine or Francie?

[@disneyfanatic7523]

yall still not back? this looks weird

[@omnicognatesnr5947]

Religious comments, and HHN in April. Unfortunately these podcasts aren’t heading in the direction I’d hoped ( just my feelings, I appreciate others may be happy with both ).

[@sdrj11]

Please find time to record in the same place. I fear this will become your norm and IMO does not work.

[@Oosij]

i personally find the zoom backgrounds fun 😅 i just listen to it like the podcast it is anyway

[@caitlynskiff2001]

I mean, this is supposed to be a podcast, so you are only supposed to listen to it. They don't have to even give us a visual video. They could just upload the audio on these weeks, but they know some people want to see them. I don't mind the zoom stuff when they can't get together in person.

[@Landolphin]

The slow, babbling starts are getting old and make it hard to stay/wait for the meat of the podcast. (Sorry) :/
