This week on The Jungle: Theres Palm Springs gig highs, a very weird hotel bar encounter in Seattle, and a Disney deep-dive that turns into “how much money are they making off Lightning Lanes?!”

We go full Disney-nerd: David talks about the Disney Alumni Association winding down, Lightning Lane money talk, CEO chatter, and the one Smugglers Run fix that might actually save the Falcon.

Plus: Winter Olympics bulges, Florida trip hype, and much much more!

It’s the middle of January and somehow it’s already been a year. 🌪️

This episode of The Jungle, we unpack Dr. Skipper’s Tosh Show appearance, dive into niche NYC sidewalk weirdness, and talk Disney—from Tomorrowland’s existential crisis to park hotel-hopping going into Tiki-a-Go-Go. 🌴🚎

Also: Magic Kingdom Skipper Stories, Ashland adventures, The attraction that might be Disneyland’s hardest to get signed off on, and much much more!

🎧 Listen now, everywhere pods are cast

We’re back from winter break and immediately making up for lost time.

This episode is a full Jungle-style free-for-all: bizarre New Year’s Eve stories, childhood experiences that felt normal but absolutely weren’t, Disney decisions that make no sense, food opinions that feel legally actionable, and a few moments where we probably reveal too much about how our brains work.

We talk NYE chaos from Disneyland to Washington, DC, weird algorithm rabbit holes, theme park history, abandoned Disney ideas, and why some things were never meant to survive Park Operations. There’s nostalgia, good times, and much much more

The break is over. The Jungle is back open.
Welcome to 2026.
