Welcome to another week of quarantine in the weird world of post-Disney closures! The parks may be closed off for now, but we’re trying to bring you as much entertainment as possible, with daily lineups full of fun YouTube content.

Hooray for Hollywood! We’re celebrating the Hollywood that never was… but always will be. This year, we will premiere the full presentations from last year’s WDWNT event, Stage 89!

Today at 11:00 AM, we have “Backstage Pass” with former Imagineer Brian Collins: As a Disney Cast Member and Imagineer in the early 1990’s, Brian helped create the magic for some of the most beloved attractions throughout the Walt Disney World Resort, including show concepts for such attractions as The Great Movie Ride, Studio Backlot Tour, Jungle Cruise, and Epcot’s World Showcase. After leaving Disney, he continued to earn his stripes in a variety of creative positions within the ranks of corporate America.  A passionate educator, Brian has served on the faculty of several colleges and universities where he has developed and taught courses on entrepreneurship, marketing, innovation, and even “Product Development for Theme Parks.”  Through it all, he has always maintained a “dotted line” relationship with Disney and has continued to work for them in a variety of freelance and contractual projects over the years. You can catch the full presentation below!

Then tonight at 9:00 PM, join “Ride Rehab Watches” as Tyler, Thomas, Ben, and more will be watching and riffing along to the Disney MGM Opening Ceremony, complete with retro commercials!

Donate! Via Patreon or YouTube:

In addition to our written news, reviews, and editorial content on the site, we’re happy to bring you all the fun and wacky programming we can think up on YouTube. This programming is provided completely free to viewers, but if you’re enjoying what you’re seeing and would like to support us, here are two of the best ways to do it:

• Become a Patreon member and join our exclusive WDWNT Inner Globe Society (WIGS) for special content, added perks, and even discounts on our upcoming events! Membership starts as low as $2 a month.
• Super Chat on YouTube – While you’re watching our YouTube content, feel free to join in on the chat! (I’ll usually be there, along with some of our other mods, like Alicia!) Even better are Super Chats, which are highlighted messages with donations for your favorite creators on YouTube. Send $0.99, send $9.99… whatever comes in will go directly to helping the WDWNT crew and making sure we can keep providing you with top-notch content during the quarantine––just look for the $ symbol next to the emoji bank in the live chat box:

You have two options for donating on YouTube: Super Stickers and Super Chats!

Click the $ symbol in the live chat and this menu will pop up. With Super Stickers, you can send an animated image. Designs range in price from as low as $0.99 to $50.00.

I’m particularly fond of this adorable Shiba Inu, but you can toggle between various characters and sticker sets!

There’s also the option for a Super Chat, where you can send a message along with a donation. (I.E. “Cosmic Ray’s deserved to win March Madness 2019 – $3.00”)

Once you’ve written out your Super Chat or chosen a Super Sticker, YouTube will prompt you to complete your purchase by entering your credit card information. If you already have a card registered with your Google account, it should already be set up.

If you missed out on yesterday’s programming, here’s a full recap:
