About this listen
What if you held the door for the biggest deal in entertainment history and didn't even know it? Join former Cast Member Michael Saint Gregory as he peels back the curtain on the chaotic, sweaty, and unglamorous reality of Disney's Hollywood Studios during the "Live Stream Era" of 2011.
In this premiere episode, Michael takes us back to May 20, 2011—the Grand Opening of Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. While George Lucas and Bob Iger were publicly celebrating with Jedi and Stormtroopers, Michael was backstage in a polyester costume, surviving on caffeine and adrenaline. Listen in as he reveals how a chance encounter at the Hollywood Brown Derby turned him into an unwitting witness to the secret breakfast that sparked Disney's $4 billion acquisition of Lucasfilm. It’s a story of theme park history, corporate destiny, and the bagels that fuel it all.
