216: The Comstock Theories
Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast
In episode 216, Marq and Beth go full *National Treasure* on the mysterious closure and equally baffling return of The Legends of the Wild West in Fort Comstock—Was it budget cuts? Dust allergies ? Or just DLP’s way of generating a bit of news for us poor Disney podcasters ? At any rate, it’s back now and Beth is going to be OK. Then, we pivot to other critical debates: the best (and *worst*) ways to haul your sleep-deprived family to DLP, and whether two days in the park counts as a “vacation” or a “cry for help.” GEMS YOU CAN’T MISS: Mickey...

Join us for the latest snack and other important Disneyland Paris news, listener mail and messages, Beth's not-so-news segment and guaranteed chaos with an adorable cameo as we go mainly script-free on this episode. It's liberating, exilerating and yet somehow still entertaining. Well, that's for you to decide. We're just having fun with whatever DLP throws at us. Overpriced eggs. Construction Walls. But no more Turkey Legs. Yes, we face reality too sometimes. But then Beth pivot's right back to Superkitties. It's the purrfect addition to the DLP show roster, in her opinion. This episode is...
