Speaker 1: Hey guys, I'm Sabrina Brian and welcome to Once Upon
Speaker 1: a Headline, our brand new weekly podcast to get you
Speaker 1: caught up on everything Disney related.
Speaker 2: You see, I've scoured.
Speaker 1: The internet looking for new developments with Disney, plus the
Speaker 1: Disney Channel, Disney Stars, Disney theme parks, and of course
Speaker 1: Disney merch. Also, you don't have to. If Disney World
Speaker 1: announces a new ride, I'll be there. If Malachi Barton
Speaker 1: is somehow casted and yet.
Speaker 2: Another dcom, your girl will be there.
Speaker 1: And if Walt Disney himself is cryogenically unfrozen to announce
Speaker 1: a new Hannah Montana series, I will be scared, but
Speaker 1: just for you, I will be there. So let's get
Speaker 1: right into it. So some Disney Channel stars news you guys.
Speaker 1: First of all, my fellow Cheetah Girl, Raven Simone is
Speaker 1: getting a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame. Actually, two
Speaker 1: Disney stars were selected. Both Raven and Kiki Palmer were
Speaker 1: selected as official honorees for the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Speaker 1: Class of twenty twenty seven in the Television category. This
Speaker 1: news was just announced end of July. The ceremony dates
Speaker 1: are going to be scheduled individually throughout twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Seven, Like, do you think that this is the ultimate
Speaker 3: like honor when it comes to being like a Disney star,
Speaker 3: because I feel like Disney stars don't necessarily always get
Speaker 3: regarded publicly like this.
Speaker 1: That is exactly what I was gonna say. I especially
Speaker 1: for me being within the same age demo as them,
Speaker 1: there hasn't been a lot of like peers of my
Speaker 1: age in general. I mean, these are young young women,
Speaker 1: I think to get this honor, and it's huge for
Speaker 1: Disney Channel.
Speaker 2: Stars to get it.
Speaker 1: These girls have done so much for the industry and
Speaker 1: for the Channel and really inspiring the next generation. It
Speaker 1: is so well, so well deserved, but also so new.
Speaker 1: I don't I can't think of anyone else has from
Speaker 1: the Channel this young.
Speaker 4: Has Hillary Duff gotten her Walk of Fame?
Speaker 3: Hillary, I'm not positive on. I know that Jonahs brothers
Speaker 3: and Miley recently got theirs in the past couple of years,
Speaker 3: But they also are musicians, right right, They've been global musicians,
Speaker 3: so I think they kind of got it for a
Speaker 3: little bit of both With Ray and Raven, it's like
Speaker 3: they really are while they have done music, it's kind
Speaker 3: they both.
Speaker 1: Have done music for sure, but they got this for
Speaker 1: their work on the TV shows for sure, and so
Speaker 1: that just seems very cool, very different, and hell yeah
Speaker 1: for it to be them. If they are the first
Speaker 1: ones from the channel to get this, I do think
Speaker 1: that this was the perfect too, to start hopefully recognizing
Speaker 1: more and more Disney Channel stars.
Speaker 2: All Right, So for Raven.
Speaker 1: Just giving you guys a little backstory with Raven as
Speaker 1: if you are someone who seriously doesn't know, I can't
Speaker 1: understand some of the Ravens notable Disney shows and movies are.
Speaker 1: Of course, that's so Raven. The Cheetah Girls, Raven's Home.
Speaker 1: She came back to redo her her character for that,
Speaker 1: and the new Cheetah Girls movie, The Cheetah Girls Next Gen.
Speaker 1: Who is not excited about this? I can't even understand,
Speaker 1: because this movie is going to be amazing, very stoked
Speaker 1: and this is so deserving and I'm really happy for her.
Speaker 1: This girl has been working in the industry since she
Speaker 1: was three years old, and she has rarely taken any
Speaker 1: kind of breaks. I mean, she is NonStop. She's done
Speaker 1: a stint on Broadway. I mean she's brought own her.
Speaker 2: She doesn't just.
Speaker 1: Come on and stars she produces, she directs, she I'm
Speaker 1: sure even rights. She has an incredible podcast now. I mean,
Speaker 1: this girl constantly works and has been working since the
Speaker 1: age of three.
Speaker 2: Give it up for her, because there.
Speaker 1: Is not a lot of people that are working as
Speaker 1: hard as Miss Raven Simone.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that even just that's just her Disney television,
Speaker 3: that is just her disight.
Speaker 2: And it's like herreer is.
Speaker 3: Already so stacked, and then you add in obviously the
Speaker 3: rest she's done.
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy little the Cosby's. Yeah, it was it
Speaker 1: hanging with mister Cooper. I mean, and she's just she's
Speaker 1: great in everything she touches. This didn't even include the
Speaker 1: Xenon franchise. She was in one and three of those movies.
Speaker 1: So this girl kills it on the channel for sure.
Speaker 1: Some of Kiky Palmer's notable Disney shows and movies. She
Speaker 1: was in the Disney d com jump In. We rewatched
Speaker 1: that so good. She's incredible. She's a star. She jumps
Speaker 1: out at you on on the camera or on the TV.
Speaker 1: She jumps out at you and she just has an
Speaker 1: energy that even from a young young age, you knew
Speaker 1: this girl was gonna eventually get to where she is
Speaker 1: now for sure. She also is uh the revival series
Speaker 1: of The Proud Family Louder and Prouder. She voices the
Speaker 1: reoccurring character Maya streaming on Disney Plus. The fourth and
Speaker 1: final season of ten episodes just aired on Disney Plus
Speaker 1: on July twenty ninth, So go check that out. Great character,
Speaker 1: so fun, some most a lot of people's favorite character
Speaker 1: on the channel when it comes to cartoons, And honestly,
Speaker 1: I really think I'm obsessed with her voice.
Speaker 2: Like her talking voice is.
Speaker 1: Just so magnetic and like anytime and it's so distinct.
Speaker 1: I could be not looking at the TV or like
Speaker 1: scrolling through Instagram or something, and something comes up, whether
Speaker 1: it's her new fabletic line that she has, and I
Speaker 1: as soon as I hear the voice, I don't even
Speaker 1: need to see it.
Speaker 2: I know it's Keky Palmer.
Speaker 1: Her voice is so distinct, such a great voice to
Speaker 1: be doing voiceover work, don't you think.
Speaker 3: I think?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, She's like just in the same way
Speaker 3: that you kind of Miley Cyrus has a very notable
Speaker 3: raspy voice. Right when you hear Kiky Palmer, you know
Speaker 3: it's her And I think that's why she has transitioned
Speaker 3: in a way that like, yeah, Raven was on a
Speaker 3: talk show I think, right, or something like that, But
Speaker 3: it's like Kiki has hosted her own talk show. Now,
Speaker 3: she has taken over as the host of Password. She's
Speaker 3: now been announced as the new host of The Voice
Speaker 3: right their celebrity edition, And she just brings such a
Speaker 3: cool vibe and personality that she was just made for,
Speaker 3: like not just acting, for just being herself being a star.
Speaker 1: Like honestly, she there's nothing I've seen of her where
Speaker 1: I don't go because I haven't really met her. I
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever met her, but she looks like
Speaker 1: a person that comes off off on the screen of
Speaker 1: she would be really cool to hang out with, Like
Speaker 1: I'd love to go to lunch with her, you know,
Speaker 1: Like she's funny and she seems like she's so caring.
Speaker 1: Everything that she posts like is just so endearing. Like
Speaker 1: I just I really am such a huge fan of her.
Speaker 2: But you're right.
Speaker 1: Kiki Palmer will hosts a special celebrity focused edition of
Speaker 1: the Voice titled The Voice Celebrity, scheduled to premiere on
Speaker 1: NBC in Spring twenty twenty longtime host Carson Daily will
Speaker 1: remain with the show as a producer.
Speaker 3: Sabrina, would you ever participate? Could we expect you to?
Speaker 3: Like people have the masked singer and now we're having
Speaker 3: the celebrity voice, which I think it might be cooler
Speaker 3: because you don't have to be in those absurd costumes.
Speaker 2: But I feel like.
Speaker 1: Being in the costume would be so fun, like being
Speaker 1: able to kind of psyche people out and see I
Speaker 1: remember they someone actually asked if I was one of
Speaker 1: the characters one time on the show, was like, are
Speaker 1: you Sabrina Brian from the Cheetah Girls, which cracked me
Speaker 1: up because I just think that's so like obviously very cool,
Speaker 1: very fun, but like, it would be so fun to
Speaker 1: do the mask. I can't imagine how hot it is
Speaker 1: in there, but yeah, I mean doing these shows are fun.
Speaker 1: It would be interesting. It's always scary to do the
Speaker 1: first of it, though, right, Like I was able to
Speaker 1: go with Dancy with the Stars to a taping. Look
Speaker 1: at what it's like, get a little idea of what
Speaker 1: the celebrities go through on show day versus before I
Speaker 1: did the show.
Speaker 4: You know, So doing the first season of something you have.
Speaker 2: Like an extra level of anxiety. But maybe you never
Speaker 2: heard a.
Speaker 3: Path you opened up for Disney kids all Dancing with
Speaker 3: the stars. You open that pathway and they have continued
Speaker 3: to dominate, and they they will continue.
Speaker 1: So it's almost like if you go on from the channel,
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna like get close to the final
Speaker 1: at least at this point.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: They are such heavy hitters on that show, all right.
Speaker 1: Headline number two from People, A new home alone movie
Speaker 1: starring mccullay Culkin is in the early stages at Disney.
Speaker 1: You guys, who else is freaking out about this? It
Speaker 1: is something we have wanted for years, let's call it
Speaker 1: even decades. A source tells People that mccully's pitch has
Speaker 1: an almost green light from Disney. The source says that
Speaker 1: Disney loved mccolly's idea and everyone wants.
Speaker 2: To see this happen.
Speaker 1: This pitch includes McCully reprising his role as Kevin McAllister
Speaker 1: Ooh Kevin. He actually publicly talked about one idea for
Speaker 1: a sequel, saying in a twenty twenty five event that
Speaker 1: it would center on his character as a father who
Speaker 1: gets locked out of his own home with his son
Speaker 1: setting trapped so he can't get back in Ooh, that
Speaker 1: is so funny.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: It almost feels like what every parent feels like, Like
Speaker 1: my dad always says like ooh, hey, bacsa, because things
Speaker 1: happen that you do not expect to happen when you're
Speaker 1: a parent and you look back at your childhood and go,
Speaker 1: I did that exact same thing.
Speaker 2: Damn it.
Speaker 3: Oh man, I say it comes back around, right, It's
Speaker 3: like whatever you did, your kids do it like tenfold.
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, Oh for sure.
Speaker 1: I mean, do we like this plot, Lisa, or what
Speaker 1: are you thinking?
Speaker 2: I do?
Speaker 3: I think it's hard because we're in this age when
Speaker 3: everything is a reboot or a sequel or something. And
Speaker 3: they did try to do some kind of home alone theme,
Speaker 3: like they've done multiple in the franchise, right, just calling
Speaker 3: it home Alone throughout the years, and then even a
Speaker 3: couple of years ago I think they tried to do
Speaker 3: another one that bombed. So I think the only way
Speaker 3: to make this work is to have Mac back, And
Speaker 3: if he's willing, I think he's He's so funny, he's
Speaker 3: embraced it like we need it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And having the original cast members back make a
Speaker 1: huge difference. You start recasting, you lose the magic of
Speaker 1: what made these movies so special.
Speaker 2: So if he and not.
Speaker 1: Just back but like producing, working, being super hands on,
Speaker 1: he knows what's gonna work, I feel and he's the
Speaker 1: one that's gonna make this so incredible. We in need
Speaker 1: this to happen. If there's anyone from Disney that could
Speaker 1: help us, please put this through and make it green.
Speaker 1: I don't want almost green. I want green. I want
Speaker 1: to know. I might have to make some calls. Yeah right,
Speaker 1: are you kidding?
Speaker 2: I wish all right?
Speaker 1: Moving on from deadline, Okay, this is something I'm so
Speaker 1: excited about. This was one of my favorite shows growing up,
Speaker 1: so I would love for my daughter to have her
Speaker 1: own cast to fall in love with. Guys, The Mickey
Speaker 1: Mouse Club returns. Disney Plus orders pilot for reboot of
Speaker 1: kids show that made Britney spears. Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling
Speaker 1: and so many more amazing artists and actors famous beyond
Speaker 1: famous gave these people their starts, and it's returning with
Speaker 1: a new group of mousecuteers. Production for the pilot was
Speaker 1: said to have started in July, so they are currently
Speaker 1: in production.
Speaker 4: You guys, I can't wait.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, if I can get a pass to
Speaker 1: get on that stage, I will freak out.
Speaker 3: I've already seen videos people have filmed because they're filming
Speaker 3: in the middle of like Disneyland, and people have just
Speaker 3: stumbled upon on these big dance numbers.
Speaker 1: So yes, I've seen things on Instagram. It looks amazing.
Speaker 2: The cast looks adorable.
Speaker 1: The pilot features eleven new youngsters, including Hudson Stone, Casey Trotter,
Speaker 1: and Brooklyn Pits, all who star in Disney's upcoming Camp
Speaker 1: Rock three. So we're gonna fall in love with these
Speaker 1: kids before they even get out and we get to
Speaker 1: see where they're real big project, the new Disney Mickey
Speaker 1: Mouse Club, and I'm so excited. A full series green
Speaker 1: light depends on the pilot's success. So if you guys
Speaker 1: want this, we got to back it because this that
Speaker 1: show was so fun and it would be amazing. And
Speaker 1: I it was filmed I think in Florida, was it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: in Florida, so I of course never got an opportunity,
Speaker 1: but I want to say there was a live audience.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they were doing musical numbers. They were I
Speaker 3: remember I still have the DVD I have a dvdst
Speaker 3: hits of Mickey's Club. Of course it's Justin and Ryan
Speaker 3: and JC.
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't I, Right, of.
Speaker 3: Course, it was such a fun show and it was
Speaker 3: like basically that and like all that were the kids
Speaker 3: versions of SNL, right, but this one obviously.
Speaker 2: Had way more music and us driven. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: It was very, very cool, and they did try to
Speaker 3: reboot this also. This is something they tried a couple
Speaker 3: of years ago too during COVID. Unfortunately, I think so
Speaker 3: it was only like YouTube as well, and it just
Speaker 3: didn't have the same vibe. So I'm hoping with this one,
Speaker 3: when it seems like they're already in the park doing
Speaker 3: these big numbers and stuff, they will have that kind
Speaker 3: of old school feel. Plus they're smart bringing in some
Speaker 3: kids that people are gonna know. Right of course, they
Speaker 3: already have that attachment. So I'm curious.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I'm actually I am interested. It's interesting to
Speaker 1: know that they're they're all part of Camp Rock three
Speaker 1: versus like being like one from Zombies, one from Descendants,
Speaker 1: like thinking about their big franchises, Like, it's interesting to
Speaker 1: know that they're all from the same one, right, I
Speaker 1: feel like, but I guess it's just that's how fresh
Speaker 1: the faces are.
Speaker 2: Camp Rock three was just filmed.
Speaker 4: What a year ago is that when it was filmed,
Speaker 4: So they are going to be.
Speaker 1: The freshest of fresh faces, all right. Moving on, our
Speaker 1: Halloween festivities getting earlier and earlier, I think so I
Speaker 1: feel like I will actually be going to the park
Speaker 1: this week, this week, so I am very very certain.
Speaker 1: Last year, I feel like the festivities for Halloween started
Speaker 1: the week of my daughter's birthday that we were in
Speaker 1: at hal at A Disneyland, and that was the week
Speaker 1: I think we went there the twenty fourth of August.
Speaker 1: And I will let you guys know, if this stuff
Speaker 1: has come out so far, you we are gonna see something.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm going to look out for food items that will
Speaker 1: be there that are definitely driven from Halloween or there's
Speaker 1: probably gonna be some I bet you Pawned Mansion will
Speaker 1: probably start having they trickle those in pretty quickly. So,
Speaker 1: I mean they're getting early and earlier. Wow, too early,
Speaker 1: so so early, It's I'm not ready for it, right,
Speaker 1: Like when you start seeing stuff before it's fourth of
Speaker 1: July for Halloween in the fall, it's like can we
Speaker 1: have her, like American Birthday for the love God, like
Speaker 1: before you start seeing fall stuff, like give me a break?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Well, Disney has announced that twenty twenty six Halloween season
Speaker 1: dates for both domestic resorts. Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween
Speaker 1: Party at Walt disney World runs on select nights from
Speaker 1: August seventh through.
Speaker 2: October thirty first.
Speaker 4: It's already happening, you guys.
Speaker 2: Literally, what did I just say?
Speaker 1: The first week of August we are getting Halloween stuff.
Speaker 1: Bestivities include Trick or Treat trails, Mickey's.
Speaker 4: Boo to You Halloween Parade, and Disney's Not.
Speaker 2: So Spooky Spectacular Fireworks. Wow.
Speaker 1: Halloween Time at Disneyland Resorts runs from August twenty first
Speaker 1: through August thirty first, twenty twenty six. So I guess
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss it this week. If disney World is
Speaker 1: already starting the party, Disneylands holding off just a bit,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Disneyland. Festivities at Disneyland resorts include Plaza Day
Speaker 1: Familia at Disneyland California Adventure August twenty first through November
Speaker 1: second of twenty twenty six. One of my favorite nights
Speaker 1: of the year, Ogie Boogie Bash select nights from August
Speaker 1: eighteenth through October thirty. First, you don't know what Ogi
Speaker 1: Boogie Bash is. You have to get separate tickets, so
Speaker 1: even if you get a park ticket for the day,
Speaker 1: you have to have a special ticket.
Speaker 2: It's a wristband.
Speaker 1: I feel like you get into it a little early,
Speaker 1: but the party starts around six once. If you don't
Speaker 1: have that Uggie Boogie pass. Let me tell you, they
Speaker 1: get you out of that park. You they've got They've
Speaker 1: got like bright passes on our right wristbands, and if
Speaker 1: you don't have one, they are scooting and skedaddling you
Speaker 1: through different areas of the park all to just cut
Speaker 1: you out. Because it is just a like ticket only
Speaker 1: party and it is so fun. I will say the
Speaker 1: trick or treating is worth it you. There are so
Speaker 1: many trick or treating areas if your kids love to
Speaker 1: do that or you're just kind of like getting them.
Speaker 1: When we went, Ledger was like one and a half
Speaker 1: and he was just kind of understanding, like getting the tickets, trying,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to say.
Speaker 2: Thank you and whatever.
Speaker 1: And it was really fun to have him have his
Speaker 1: first like Halloween experience before we actually went trick or treating.
Speaker 2: That was really fun. It's a great night. I love it.
Speaker 2: The villains are out.
Speaker 1: They make it so special, and it's really really worth it,
Speaker 1: I think. Speaking of villains, the new Disney Villains collection
Speaker 1: is also now available at Disney Parks and Disneystore dot Com.
Speaker 1: This collection includes home decor, apparel, collectibles, keepsakes, and accessories.
Speaker 1: It's such a fun night. Halloween is so fun at Disneyland.
Speaker 1: I am so for it. But no, we do not
Speaker 1: need it before September. I'm sorry. We gotta take things
Speaker 1: like we are just getting end of summer and getting
Speaker 1: back to school ready. I cannot think for actually two
Speaker 1: months ahead into the Halloween.
Speaker 2: It's just not me. I like my holidays separated.
Speaker 3: You don't want to shop back to school and Halloween
Speaker 3: at the same time.
Speaker 1: No, once we're back in school, like even if it's
Speaker 1: the last week of August, everyone's back in school, then
Speaker 1: we can venture into the fall and get into you know, Halloween.
Speaker 1: But I can guarantee you if we go to a
Speaker 1: store like Hobby Lobby right now, there are Thanksgiving and
Speaker 1: probably Christmas stuff is already starting to come out, which
Speaker 1: drives me crazy. How can you like appreciate and enjoy
Speaker 1: each Halloween at a time. If it's getting sworn by
Speaker 1: the other ones, I'm not.
Speaker 3: It's all about commercialism and selling stuff. You know, It's true.
Speaker 3: For me, all the stuff you just read, the only
Speaker 3: thing I cared about was.
Speaker 1: The merch, right, The merch is so great, it's so fun.
Speaker 1: There's so many It's like more and more stuff too,
Speaker 1: which is awesome. But yeah, I know, not ready for
Speaker 1: it. It's August. I'm hot. It's not supposed to be that
Speaker 1: hot during Halloween.
Speaker 3: That's the problem with California as well. I think if
Speaker 3: you lived somewhere else, maybe you wouldn't mind it.
Speaker 2: But what about Walt disney World.
Speaker 4: Walt Disney World's already starting too. It's hot there, hot
Speaker 4: and humid.
Speaker 2: Ough, it's even worse. It's even worse.
Speaker 1: And you're thinking about Halloween like getting your kid in
Speaker 1: like a costume, Like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: No, no, not yet, not yet.
Speaker 1: Well that was so fun, you guys, this is something
Speaker 1: I am so excited. Of course, I do seriously live
Speaker 1: all things. Disney will make fun of me, but I
Speaker 1: don't care. It is literally my life. I have reservations
Speaker 1: for I already have my maxed out six reservations for
Speaker 1: August to be at the parks.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: I'm constantly watching. As soon as I get in, I
Speaker 1: turn on Disney Plus for my kids, we figure out
Speaker 1: what movie or show we're watching. It is literally all
Speaker 1: that exists within my family and my life, and I
Speaker 1: have no regrets about it. It is so fun and
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to always follow, you know, fellow Disney
Speaker 1: Channel stars where their careers have taken them, where they're
Speaker 1: going next. And of course, just like this with Peeky
Speaker 1: and Raven, the accolades that are coming and they are
Speaker 1: getting seen and really just honored in such a special way.
Speaker 1: And I'm so so excited for everyone and all of
Speaker 1: their success. So stay tuned, can't wait to hear and
Speaker 1: see what happens next within the Disney World. Here on
Speaker 1: Once Upon a Headline. Thanks for joining.
Speaker 2: Bye,
