• Mystery Fireworks Test at Hollywood Studios - What Could This Old Launch Site Be For?
• Hurly-Burly Opens at Disney's BoardWalk - New Nightlife Spot Debuts on WDW's 55th
• Dollywood Honors Dolly Parton - How the Park Plans to Carry Her Legacy Forward

EPCOT basically runs on these four now, but they're not created equal. Some run for three months, some barely last five weeks.

🎬 In this review, we break down the plot, the wild spending spree, that questionable adult subplot, and whether this movie holds up in 2025.

Join us for a nostalgic trip back to 1994 as we revisit Disney's heartwarming classic 'Angels in the Outfield'! In this review, we'll explore how this underrated gem combined baseball, faith, and found family into a feel-good story that still resonates today. Discover young Joseph Gordon-Levitt's breakthrough performance as Foster, a child who believes angels can help the struggling California Angels baseball team win the pennant. We'll dive into the film's perfect blend of magical realism and emotional storytelling, examine Christopher Lloyd's scene-stealing role as the guardian angel, and reveal behind-the-scenes facts about the production. Remember those amazing special effects of angels helping players make impossible catches and hits? We'll break down how they were created with the technology of the time.

Plus, we'll explore why this film became such a cultural touchstone with its iconic 'It could happen!' catchphrase and how it fits into Disney's 90s sports movie golden era. Whether you're rewatching for nostalgia or introducing it to a new generation, our review will remind you why 'Angels in the Outfield' deserves its place in the Disney hall of fame.

I'll show you some of the merch, which has already been released, and talk about the shows, attractions, restaurants, and shops that have been announced and that are already live in the app - but will try to avoid anything that should be a surprise or that you'd like to discover for yourself. After all, how many times do you see a full brand brand-new park for the first time? Also, there were NO photos allowed, not even outside of the park, so I don't have anything to show, other than what we have been given from Universal. Join me and let's dig in!
