WDW Radio # 801 - Pete Renaday, Disney voice actor (Country Bear Jamboree, 20,000 Leagues, TTA and more) - From the Archives

WDW Radio # 800 - Joe Rohde: Our Conversation on Art, Wildlife, and Culture This week, I'm sharing a special episode from the Archives, as my interview this week comes from show # 232 back in 2011 in honor of legendary voice actor Pete Renaday, who passed away on September 8.   Pete's iconic voice brought life to unforgettable characters in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, including Henry from the Country Bear Jamboree, Walt Disney World's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (as Captain Nemo), The Hall of Presidents (as Abraham Lincoln), the Disneyland version of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and The Walt Disney Story as narrator, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, Adventure Thru Inner Space, and Mark Twain Riverboat. He was also the Ghost Host on the Haunted Mansion album (which I still have and love).   I feel fortunate to have Pete be able to share his story in his own words and iconic voice as he shares his incredible journey—from meeting Walt Disney to his work on animated films and iconic attractions. So just refrain from hibernatin’, and let’s enjoy the show, cause he’s still got a lot to give. - Which of Pete Renaday's voices do you like or recognize most?

WDW Radio # 796 - Josh D'Amaro - My Exclusive Interview at D23 with the Disney Experiences Chairman

WDW Radio # 796 - Josh D'Amaro - My Exclusive Interview at D23 with the Disney Experiences Chairman At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro revealed a groundbreaking lineup of new attractions, lands, and projects that solidify and highlighted Disney's bold vision for the next decade.   The event was a remarkable milestone for many reasons, and the highly-anticipated Disney Experiences Showcase fulfilled wishes and exceeded expectations.   I had the incredible opportunity and privilege to sit down, one-on-one, with Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro the morning after his presentation to discuss the event, fan speculation, wishes, expectations, and responses.    It is a very candid and personal conversation that offers unique insight into the strategy, mission, legacy, and message from this year's presentation. Josh takes us behind the scenes, emphasizing the connection between the Walt Disney Company and its fans.   I was remarkably impressed with Josh's transparency, particularly illustrating the importance of listening to fan feedback, including criticism, to understand better and meet high expectations, underlining his humility and dedication to the Disney community.   I did not take the responsibility of being granted this interview lightly, and rather than, in the limited but incredibly generous time I had with Josh, try and touch on individual announcements and attractions, but instead focus on the important overarching and significance of the event, and the relationship of the Company and its fans like you and me.   So I invite you to pull up a chair, and sit at the table with me and Josh, and hopefully find our conversation as enjoyable, insightful, and rewarding as I did. And of course, huge thanks to Josh, who is someone I didn't think I could like and respect any more, but who gave me new appreciation of him as a fan and leader.     (And just so you know... Josh and I shared that hug right after we were done recording).   - What did you think about our conversation?

WDW Radio # 790 - History of the Country Bear Jamboree - From the Archives

WDW Radio # 790 - History of the Country Bear Jamboree - From the Archives I had a chance to get a sneak peek at the all-new Country Bear Musical Jamboree this week, and in honor of the attraction officially opening on July 17, this week, we'll take a detailed look back at the history and legacy of the original versions of this opening day Walt Disney World attraction, the Country Bear Jamboree. This was from show # 275, back in 2012, that was part DSI: Disney Scene Investigation and part Wayback Machine, as, at that time, the Country Bear Jamboree had remained almost exactly the same as it appeared on October 1, 1971. So join us as we explore the history, stories, details, characters, a bit of Americana, and our musical heritage of the past, at the Country Bear Jamboree. And if you want to watch the entire NEW Country Bear Musical Jamboree show, I have a full recording of the very first show from my live video that morning in the Clubhouse.   - What do you think of the new show and music?

WDW Radio # 782 - My Conversation With Chef Art Smith from Homecomin' in Disney Springs

WDW Radio # 782 - My Conversation With Chef Art Smith from Homecomin' in Disney Springs Sometimes, interviews don't always go as planned... and that's not necessarily a bad thing, as is the case this week. I recently sat down with renowned chef (and all-around nice guy) Art Smith, of Homecomin' in Disney Springs fame. We met at the restaurant to talk about new menu items, Florida Fresh, and more... but the conversation wonderfully turned to so much more. So this week, I invite you to pull up a chair, grab some hush puppies and deviled eggs (maybe a little moonshine if you're so inclined), and chat with me and the delightful Chef Art Smith. - What is your favorite items on the menu at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’?

You’ll also learn of the heartwarming love story between Marc and his equally talented wife, Alice, and the film they inspired. It’s an episode filled with nostalgia, inspiration, and a touch of pixie dust, and just as we pay homage to the enduring legacy of Walt Disney’s “Renaissance Man.” And I invite you to remember look for the visual cues that celebrate his life and work next time you’re visiting the happiest and most magical places on Earth.- What is your favorite Marc Davis attraction, gag, or character?

WDW Radio # 763 - Alan Menken Interview - From the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 763 - Alan Menken Interview - From the WDW Radio Archives As we come to the end of year, I found myself once again getting sentimental and nostalgic. I am always grateful for the incredible opportunities this show, thanks to you, has afforded me to share with you... including conversations with true legends. So this week, I went back into the WDW Radio Archives to bring you one of my favorites. In addition to being a Disney Legend, he is the recipient of multiple Academy Awards, Golden Globes and Grammys for his work on Disney animated classics such as The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Enchanted and, of course, Beauty and the Beast. And as I recently discussed on our Best of the Best from the Disney Parks Around the World, he also wrote what is arguably one of, if not the, most beautiful song in a Disney Park. Legendary composer Alan Menken joined me on Show 196 back in 2010 to talk about his early career and helping to usher in the renaissance of Disney animation, as well as his work on Disney’s 50th full-length animated feature, Tangled. It’s a fascinating look into the life and music of a man who continues to make magic for generations of Disney fans. - What is your favorite Alan Menken piece of music, or film that he composed the music for?

WDW Radio # 761 - Finding Walt in Walt Disney World - from the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 761 - Finding Walt in Walt Disney World - from the WDW Radio Archives This week, as we celebrate the birth of Walt Disney on December 5th, and the grand opening of Dreamers Point in EPCOT on that same date, we embark on a special episode from the WDW Radio Archives. In this week's episode, we're going back to Show # 298, as we embark on a magical journey of Finding Walt... in Walt Disney World. Our mission? To uncover the hidden gems, intricate details, and heartfelt tributes that pay homage to Walt Disney, the visionary pioneer who sparked this world of wonder. As we virtually visit the parks, we'll connect the sights, sounds (and yes, maybe even tastes) around us with the legacy and spirit of the man who dreamt it all into existence. It's a fun, fascination exploration as we seek out the essence of Walt Disney in every corner of his magical kingdom, where every step tells a story and every detail has a purpose. What is the one question you would ask Walt Disney if you could?

WDW Radio # 757 - The Voice of Mickey Mouse, Bret Iwan, and History of The Partners Statue - from the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 757 - The Voice of Mickey Mouse, Bret Iwan, and History of The Partners Statue - from the WDW Radio Archives To celebrate Mickey Mouse's birthday on November 18, I will take what Walt Disney said to heart and not lose sight of one thing... "that it was all started by a mouse." This week, we'll remember just that, as I have two segments from the WDW Radio that both involve Mickey Mouse. First, we'll venture into Magic Kingdom, and explore not an attraction, land, shop or show, but a single location. In fact, a single statute. In our DSI: Disney Scene Investigation, Jim Korkis and I look at the history and story behind the iconic Partners statue of Walt and Mickey. The legacy of and bond between Walt and Mickey goes far beyond one of simply artist and creation. In fact, Walt actually lent his voice to his most famous work. Over the years, Walt passed that torch to other men who became the voice of Mickey, and this week, I want to share my conversation with Bret Iwan, the man who eighty years after Mickey spoke his first words on screen, took over that role of a lifetime. We talk about his personal story of becoming the voice of Mickey, the legacy, and the future. What is your favorite personal memory of Mickey Mouse? Was it on TV? In a Disney Park? A piece of merchandise? Share your thoughts in the WDW Radio Clubhouse at WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse, or call the voicemail at 407-900-9391 (WDW1) and share your story on the show.

WDW Radio # 755 - Disney Legend Dave Smith Interview - From the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 755 - Disney Legend Dave Smith Interview - From the WDW Radio Archives As part of our celebration of the Disney 100 year anniversary, it's only appropriate that this week I go way back into the Archives for an interview with Disney Legend Dave Smith, the founder of the Walt Disney Archives. 13 years ago, I was at work and literally had to lock myself in a closet at my office to interview Dave, who I had known for some time. His name is, and always will be, synonymous with Disney history. From founding the Walt Disney Archives in 1970, to authoring numerous books, Dave Smith’s 40 year career with the company afforded him the opportunity to help preserve the magic that began with Walt himself. Dave and I discuss his career, including not just his role in the creation and legacy of the Archives, but its challenges, personal highlights, changes and his future, as he prepares to retire from this “temporary” job that lasted four decades. It’s a fascinating conversation not just about the Archives, but the person who made it a reality, and was the guardian of Disney's most treasured memories. Dave sadly passed away in 2019 leaving behind a treasure trove of Disney lore for generations to come. If you could visit the Walt Disney Archives, what is the one item from Disney history you would like to see? Share your thoughts in the WDW Radio Clubhouse at WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse, or call the voicemail at 407-900-9391 (WDW1) and share your story on the show.

WDW Radio # 748 - Top Ten Spooky Spots in Walt Disney World - From the WDW Radio Archives I am basically a 7 year old boy trapped in a... much older body... and I love Halloween.

So this week, we're going back to WDW Radio show # 246 from All Hallows Eve in 2011, to look around the resort, in the parks and closely at some attractions that have their creepy moments.

WDW Radio # 746 - How Disneyland’s Origins Have Impacted Walt Disney World - From the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 746 - How Disneyland's Origins Have Impacted Walt Disney World - From the WDW Radio Archives With Walt Disney World's anniversary coming up on October 1... and this incredible sense of nostalgia and sentiment I have been feeling lately... it prompted my idea for this week's visit to the Archives, and this past week's LIVE show. Thank you for tuning in and being part of our WDW Radio LIVE show on Wed Sept. 20 where we boarded the Wayback Machine and took a trip down Walt Disney World's Memory Lane! We dove into some Disney nostalgia as we share memories of days gone by in Walt Disney World, and I shared a number of vintage photos from the parks... and me back in the 70's... and we all shared attractions, shows, resorts, and of course food that we remember and miss. You can watch the replay and be part of the community and conversation by going to WDWRadio.com/Video). And that got me to thinking about the origins of Walt Disney World... and inspirations. So this week, we're going back to Show # 179 from early 2010, because Walt Disney World traces much of its roots to the original Disneyland in California, and with Walt Disney World's anniversary coming up, it’s only appropriate that we take a look at how some of Disneyland’s origins have impacted Walt Disney World. Jim Korkis joined me to share some of the true stories behind the stories, as we start in Fantasyland with Cinderella Castle and look back at exactly how and where Disneyland began. And Jim shared not just stories that have never been told before, but Walt’s own words that served as the proposal for what would be come Disneyland, and includes many amazing ideas that carried forward to become what we see today in Walt Disney World. Share your thoughts in the WDW Radio Clubhouse at WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse, or call the voicemail at 407-900-9391 (WDW1) and share your story on the show.

WDW Radio # 734 - Best of the Best: Food and Dining in Walt Disney World

WDW Radio # 734 - Best of the Best: Food and Dining in Walt Disney World Disney 100 celebrates a legacy of 100 years of not only remarkable storytelling, but what I feel is a century of standing out being the "best of the best" in a wide and deep spectrum of areas. And that provided "one little spark of inspiration" of revisiting my Best of the Best series on the show. So to honor the Disney 100 celebration, we will start looking at the best of the best not just in the Disney Parks, but in movies, television, and much more. And it's only appropriate that we kick off this Disney 100 celebration in Walt Disney World, and more specifically, the Best of the Best Food in Walt Disney World. We'll look at everything from what to eat, where, and why, and in future installations of this series, I'll turn to you not just for inspiration, but to maybe join me on a future episode!

WDW Radio # 732 - Roger Rabbit in Walt Disney World: What Is, Was, and Might Have Been - From the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 732 - Roger Rabbit in Walt Disney World: What Is, Was, and Might Have Been - From the WDW Radio Archives Some questions and discussion in the WDW Radio Clubhouse on Facebook this week prompted me to pull this show from the WDW Radio Archives, as Jim Korkis and I virtually visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Show # 327 back in 2013, where we celebrated the 25th Anniversary of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." We recorded live at Disney's Hollywood Studios take a stroll through the Studios and look back at the movie’s history, Roger’s presence in the Studios and elsewhere around the parks (both current and extinct), what might have been, and what the future may hold for Roger Rabbit in the Disney Parks. For a much more important and meaningful reason, I also wanted to feature an episode with my longtime friend and guest on the show, Jim Korkis. Jim is not only one of the most knowledgable Disney historians and wonderful storyteller and author of dozens of books, but Jim is just a good man. I shared recently that after suffering his fall and long recovery in the hospital, as well as multiple heart bypasses, Jim has been diagnosed with inoperable stage 4 colon cancer that has also spread to his liver. I visited with Jim for a few hours this week, and he will be starting chemotherapy in the next few weeks. He is also very concerned about mounting bills, and I also wanted to share that a GoFundMe has been formed to help with home and medical expenses. I created an easy link directly to it at WDWRadio.com/HelpJim. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. You may have never met Jim, but he has been a friend since the very beginning, and is a member of our extended family. Anything you can do to help, whether it be through prayer, his GoFundMe, or even just spreading the word to others would be greatly appreciated Share your thoughts in the WDW Radio Clubhouse at WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse, or call the voicemail at 407-900-9391 (WDW1) and share your story on the show.

WDW Radio # 730 - The True Story of Walt Disney's True-Life Adventures

WDW Radio # 730 - The True Story of Walt Disney's True-Life Adventures This week, we look at the origins of Walt Disney’s True Life Adventure series, the Academy Award winning films that were not only entertaining, but important. I am joined by Didier Ghez, author of “The Origins of Walt Disney’s True-Life Adventures.” We’ll explore how and why Walt Disney started making documentary films, including his personal attention to and concerns about the vanishing frontier, and how these films helped influence the way that nature and conservation were and are portrayed in media. Stay tuned for an announcement of our next WDW Radio group (family) adventure... or should I say, Adventures.

WDW Radio # 729 - Lost Resorts of the Magic Kingdom: The Asian, Persian, and Venetian - From the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 729 - Lost Resorts of the Magic Kingdom: The Asian, Persian, and Venetian - From the WDW Radio Archives Since on our last episode of the show, we imagined Walt Disney World resort concepts that could be and we’d like to see, this week, we go back in time not just on the show to 2008 and Show # 91, but way back to a time before Walt Disney World had even opened. We’ll metaphorically trek through the Florida swamps, as we take a close look at a Walt Disney World we never knew by exploring the Lost Resorts of the Magic Kingdom. The exotic Asian, Persian, and Venetian resorts would have been built along the shores of the Seven Seas Lagoon (hence its name) as part of Phase One. We’ll take a fun look back at what was supposed to be and might have been, with a little wondering and wishing as well.

WDW Radio # 727 - Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Closing... and the Good that May Come From It

WDW Radio # 727 - Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Closing... and the Good that May Come From It I'm actually not diving into the Archives this week, because as I said when first added this new show to the feed, also opened up other opportunities to discuss and address important events as they happen... like this week. On Thursday, May 18, Disney announced that they would be closing the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, with the final voyage taking place in September. Based on numerous discussions that were going on in the WDW Radio Clubhouse on Facebook, as well as private conversations I was having via text, DM, etc. I felt it was important to go live, and discuss, with you, the announcement, our reactions, as well as speculation as to what's next. I share my honest thoughts and reaction, including why I think the Starcruiser was forced to close, Bob Iger, the Cast Members, as well as the good that I think can and will come from this unexpected announcement and closure. So I decided to take the audio from the live show and share it here on the podcast, as I understand that maybe you didn't catch this live conversation, or missed the video replay which is posted in the Clubhouse. And in addition to what we discussed here, I think there is much more to talk about in terms of the Starcruiser, your concepts and ideas of what should happen next, your experiences on the Starcruiser if you had them, and anything else you're like to talk about. To be part of future live conversations, please be sure to join me every Wednesday night at 7:30pm at WDWRadioLIVE.com, and turn on notifications on the WDW Radio Facebook page and in the Clubhouse so you don't miss a thing... including unscheduled shows like this one!

WDW Radio # 725 - Wayback Machine to Disney’s Polynesian Resort - From the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 725 - Wayback Machine to Disney’s Polynesian Resort - From the WDW Radio Archives On last night's WDW Radio LIVE show (WDWRadioLIVE.com), I brought you with me to and through Disney's Polynesian Resort for a walking tour at sunset of the grounds and Great Ceremonial House. We also looked at and discussed the construction of the new Disney Vacation Club Tower, and I remarked how the idea of a tower at this location was not something new, but was planned for from the very beginning, as early concepts for Disney’s Polynesian Resort featured a 12-story tower before evolving into a more architecturally authentic “village” layout. So in the spirit of aloha and the origins of Disney's Polynesian Resort, I went back into the Archives this week to Show 111, where we boarded my Walt Disney World Wayback Machine and looked at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort through the years... at least up until 2009 when the episode first released. We turned back the clock to a time before Walt Disney World was even a vision in Walt’s mind, and look at how his personal interests influenced what would become the model for themed resorts that would follow. We explored the Polynesian Village through the years and looked at some of its additions, changes and lost experiences. It's also interesting to hear how we discussed what the resort was like today (today being 2009), and then speculated as to what the future may hold... or should I say may have held. Were we right? Let's see... Share your thoughts in the WDW Radio Clubhouse at WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse, or call the voicemail at 407-900-9391 (WDW1) and share your story on the show.

WDW Radio # 723 - The Muppets in Walt Disney World That Never Were - From the WDW Radio Archives With The Muppets Mayhem coming to Disney+, and having just watched Muppet Treasure Island on FunnelVision on the Disney Fantasy... and just my love of the Muppets and fond memories of growing up with The Muppet Show, this week we're going to go back in time and take a look back at the relationship between Disney and the Muppets, including the story of how the Muppets came to Walt Disney World in a variety of ways. Go back nearly 12 years to Show 251 - Join me from Disney's Hollywood Studios as we tour the park and explore some of the secrets, stories and history of MuppetVision 3D, Muppet-based shows that are no longer here, the Disney-Henson marriage, as well as "The Muppets That Never Were." Jim Korkis joins me as we wander the Studios and discuss some of the proposed concepts that never made it both in and out of the parks. It's a fascinating live tour of the Muppets in the present, as well as a look back in time, and possibly even into the future of the Muppets in Walt Disney World.

WDW Radio # 721 - How to Become a Disney Imagineer - From the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 721 - How to Become a Disney Imagineer - From the WDW Radio Archives We're going back fifteen years this week, to a segment I called, "How to Be an Imagineer," which was in response to a question I received (and still do) quite often since I first started the show more than 18 years ago. In 2008, Disney Imagineer Ed Romeo joined me to talk about his story and journey to become an Imagineer, as well as what working at and for Imagineering was like. This interview was the first of many conversations that I have shared on the show over the years that helped demonstrate that the road to becoming an Imagineer might not necessarily be one the path you think, and there are many different ways you (or your child) can become an Imagineer.

WDW Radio # 719 - Top Ten Things in Walt Disney World That Are Better at Night - From the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 719 - Top Ten Things in Walt Disney World That Are Better at Night - From the WDW Radio Archives On last night's WDW Radio LIVE show, I spent the evening wandering my way through Tomorrowland, to not only celebrate the opening of Tron Lightcycle /Run, but speculate on the future of this land. As we explored the entire land as the golden hour dissolved into twilight, Tomorrowland was energized with new life... and light, and takes on an entirely new atmosphere at night. Riding the Peoplemover and looking over at the spectacular, color-changing canopy of Tron, I thought not only about how beautiful this (and other lands) are at night, but how some things in Walt Disney World are just better after dark. So for this week's show From the Archives, we're going back to 2009 and show # 104, where we discussed our list of Top Ten Things in Walt Disney World That are Better at Night. In more than 18 years of podcasting, I very VERY rarely revisit a topic, but enough time has passed and new additions to the parks and resorts have been made that it may be time to reexamine this list on an upcoming episode. But for now, please enjoy this look (and listen) at our list, and I invite you to share suggestions of what else needs to be added when we make up our new list (spoiler alert... Tron WILL be on that list). Share your thoughts in the WDW Radio Clubhouse at WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse, or call the voicemail at 407-900-9391 (WDW1) and share your story on the show.

WDW Radio # 717 - Cindy Morgan from TRON Interview - From the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 717 - Cindy Morgan from TRON Interview - From the WDW Radio Archives Spoiler alert... I'm a bit of a nerd. Growing up, I loved (love) video games and technology, storytelling, adventure, and the unknown... and that hasn't changed much.  More than 40 years ago, a Disney film was released that would forever change the science fiction genre, as well as animation, video gaming and the lives of many young geeks like myself. Smart, stylish and fun, the game grid of Tron was groundbreaking, and in 2010, Tron was reborn with the Tron: Legacy film (and do you remember the Tronorail at Walt Disney World, ElecTRONica at Disneyland, or what about Tron: Uprising on Disney XD... with all of them now on Disney+). So in 2012, on WDW Radio show # 277, a little, nerdy dream of mine came true, as I had the opportunity to speak in an exclusive interview with one of the original film’s stars, Cindy Morgan, who played the dual role of Lora and Yori. She may or may not have also been the subject of a bit of a boyhood crush of mine for her role in Caddyshack. Cindy joined me to talk about her career and role in Tron, as she shared stories of the making of the films, the Tron phenomenon, her fans and much more. With the opening of TRON: Lightcycle Run this week in Magic Kingdom, the timing for listening back to my conversation with Cindy (who I still love seeing at comic and conventions) seemed appropriate. I may just have to reach out to her again for the follow up conversation we discussed. Are you a fan of the original TRON? What about TRON: Legacy? Have you experienced TRON Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom (or Shanghai Disneyland) yet?

WDW Radio # 717 - Cindy Morgan from TRON Interview - From the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 717 - Cindy Morgan from TRON Interview - From the WDW Radio Archives  Spoiler alert... I'm a bit of a nerd. Growing up, I loved (love) video games and technology, storytelling, adventure, and the unknown... and that hasn't changed much.  More than 40 years ago, a Disney film was released that would forever change the science fiction genre, as well as animation, video gaming and the lives of many young geeks like myself. Smart, stylish and fun, the game grid of Tron was groundbreaking, and in 2010, Tron was reborn with the Tron: Legacy film (and do you remember the Tronorail at Walt Disney World, ElecTRONica at Disneyland, or what about Tron: Uprising on Disney XD... with all of them now on Disney+). So in 2012, on WDW Radio show # 277, a little, nerdy dream of mine came true, as I had the opportunity to speak in an exclusive interview with one of the original film’s stars, Cindy Morgan, who played the dual role of Lora and Yori. She may or may not have also been the subject of a bit of a boyhood crush of mine for her role in Caddyshack. Cindy joined me to talk about her career and role in Tron, as she shared stories of the making of the films, the Tron phenomenon, her fans and much more. With the opening of TRON: Lightcycle Run this week in Magic Kingdom, the timing for listening back to my conversation with Cindy (who I still love seeing at comic and conventions) seemed appropriate. I may just have to reach out to her again for the follow up conversation we discussed. Are you a fan of the original TRON? What about TRON: Legacy?

WDW Radio # 716 - Italy Pavilion in EPCOT: How Close is The Pavilion to the Real Thing? - From the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 716 - Italy Pavilion in EPCOT: How Close is The Pavilion to the Real Thing? - From the WDW Radio Archives I just returned from our incredible WDW Radio Adventures by Disney group trip to Italy a few days ago, and I am still reeling in the feeling of the Italian "la dolce vita." So I went back into the archives this week to bring you along with me TO Italy... in World Showcase in EPCOT Center.   For decades, Epcot's Word Showcase has allowed visitors to Walt Disney World to visit, explore, and learn about regions, cultures, and people from all over the world, and in many cases, countries they may never get to visit otherwise. And with all things Disney, it's rooted in story, and in the case of the pavilions of World Showcase, the history as well.   We wander through replicas of villages, buildings, shops, streets, and temples, but just how close are the pavilions to the real thing? In the past, we have asked and answered this question with detailed looks at the UK on show 202, and Norway on show 236... and in 2018, on show # 528 we did it again, as we traveled to Italy. For this episode, I was joined by a friend from Italy who helps to compare and contrast the pavilion with the country.   Recorded live as we wandered through the pavilion, we discuss the architecture, culture, symbolism, history and stories, as we virtually tour the piazza, shops, dining options, history, architecture, and much more. It's a fascinating look into how and where Italian culture, traditions and history are found in the pavilion itself, and the attention to detail that Disney's Imagineers included to provide guests a truly authentic experience. Oh, and we may stop to sample an item on the menu… or two.   I am actually personally very curious and interested to go back and listen to this one myself, having just returned from so many of the locations that inspired and are featured in the EPCOT version.   Have you ever visited Italy? How do you think the EPCOT version compares to the real thing? Is Italy on your bucket list of places to visited? Share your thoughts in the WDW Radio Clubhouse at WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse, or call the voicemail at 407-900-9391 (WDW1) and share your story on the show.   But for now... sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode from the Archives on the WDW Radio show.  ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com - Visit the site and blog WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse - Join the community and conversation on Facebook WDWRadioNATION - Get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch and chat LIVE Wednesdays at 7:30pm ET WDWRadio.com/Podcasts - Show notes, past episodes, links, and photos WDWRadio.com/Events - WDW Radio Disney meets, events, cruises, and more!

WDW Radio # 714 - The Orange Bird - From the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 714 - The Orange Bird - From the WDW Radio Archives I visited the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival this week, and love seeing old friends... not just wandering and grazing the promenade with me, but old friends from Walt Disney World's past... and present. In recent years, we have seen a resurgence in nostalgia, sentiment, and love for our little purple friend with childlike innocence, Figment, as well as our favorite combination of fruit and fowl, the Little Orange Bird. And in the past 50 years, we've seen some pretty interesting things at Walt Disney World: A waterskiing Goofy, gunfighters shooting it out in Frontierland, singing fruit, a rapping Mickey and much more. But until 2011, many people didn't know who the Orange Bird was, let alone remember seeing a character walking around in Adventureland with a giant orange head, leaves for arms and a green stem sticking out of his head. It started with a slow release of retro merchandise in Magic Kingdom, and in 2012, the Orange Bird returned to Sunshine Tree Terrace signage and quirky drink cups, and a new line of Orange Bird merchandise started to appear on the shelves! Also, an Orange Bird statue that was on display at Sunshine Tree Terrace in the 1970s was retrieved from the Walt Disney Imagineering Sculpture Studio in California, and is now on display in full, orange glory.   This rekindled a sense of fond remembrance for our little orange friend, and now, he is not only present in our memories, hearts, and Adventureland, but is a huge fixture at this year's Festival in Epcot. He has inspired not just a huge line of merchandise, but even some food items as well.   So I went back into the WDW Radio Archives this week to 2011 and Show #250, where Jim Korkis and I took a look back in time at the Sunshine Tree Terrace and it's one-time host (and hostess). We explore the origins of the Orange Bird, the Sherman Brothers song, why he and Anita Bryant may have flown the coop, and the (then) recent resurgence of our little orange friend. I'll then pose a question for you to share your thoughts on as well.   Do you remember seeing the little Orange Bird in Adventureland in the 70's? Did you ever get a photo with the walk around character? Share your memories, and thoughts about this old and new unofficial mascot for the parks in the WDW Radio Clubhouse at WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse, or call the voicemail at 407-900-9391 (WDW1) and share your story on the show.   But for now... sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode from the Archives on the WDW Radio show. ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com - Visit the site and blog WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse - Join the community and conversation on Facebook WDWRadioNATION - Get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch and chat LIVE Wednesdays at 7:30pm ET WDWRadio.com/Podcasts - Show notes, past episodes, links, and photos WDWRadio.com/Events - WDW Radio Disney meets, events, cruises, and more!

WDW Radio # 712 - Interview with Former Imagineer Steve Kirk - From the WDW Radio Archives After visiting EPCOT this past week, and in thinking about the future of that park, specifically the Imagination pavilion, I went way back into the WDW Radio Archives to being you one of my earliest interviews. Let's go back to 2007 and Show # 30, when, as part of my Legends of Disney Imagineering feature, I shared my conversation with former Imagineer Steve Kirk. Steve helped come up with the initial concepts for Figment and the Dreamfinder, as well as the Journey Into Imagination attraction, and also helped develop some of Disney's most memorable characters, attractions, pavilions, and even complete theme parks, including being the creative leader of Tokyo DisneySea. We also talk about Epcot, the Studios and so much more. I would later come to interview his brother, Tim Kirk about his work at Imagineering, specifically at the Disney-MGM Studios, but that is another trip to the archives for another day. For now, sit back, relax, and enjoy my conversation (and forgive my voice), with the fascinating and talented Steve Kirk. ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com - Visit the site and blog WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse - Join the community and conversation on Facebook WDWRadioNATION - Get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch and chat LIVE Wednesdays at 7:30pm ET WDWRadio.com/Podcasts - Show notes, past episodes, links, and photos WDWRadio.com/Events - WDW Radio Disney meets, events, cruises, and more!

WDW Radio # 708 - Interview with Disney Legend Alice Davis - From the WDW Radio Archives

WDW Radio # 708 - Interview with Disney Legend Alice Davis - From the WDW Radio Archives From the WDW Radio Archives... one of my all-time favorite interviews, and one that listeners reference all the time, Disney Legend, Alice Davis. I had the honor of spending the day with Alice Davis in her home, where we discussed her fairy tale story of how she came to work for and with Walt Disney through her marriage to Marc Davis, one of Walt Disney's Nine Old Men. In addition to discussing her relationships with both, we also closely examine her work on classic films such as Sleeping Beauty, and attractions such as it's a small world and Pirates of the Caribbean. Alice shares her very personal stories and humorous anecdotes about her work and life, from her early beginnings to the World's Fair, to her ongoing connection to Disney enthusiasts today. It is the only episode and guest I ever had to bleep.... listen and find out why. Sadly, Alice Davis passed on November 3, 2022, so I consider it a privilege and a gift to have been able to capture her stories in her own words... more importantly, in her own voice, and be able to share it with you.

WDW Radio # 605 - The Original Dreamfinder, Ron Schneider

WDW Radio # 605 - The Original Dreamfinder, Ron Schneider As we celebrated Walt Disney World’s 49th birthday on October 1, I wanted to look back at not just one of the resort’s most popular attractions, but characters as well. The Dreamfinder (and good right arm, Figment) were created for the new Journey Into Imagination attraction in Epcot in 1983, and ushered in a sense of wonder and fun the likes of which the park had never seen before. And helping to create that spark of imagination was Ron Schneider, the original Dreamfinder. Ron joined me live in Magic Kingdom for the anniversary, and shares stories that paint a colorful picture tracing the origins of the attraction and character, as well as his years in the parks, to working with Tony Baxter, and the day that Michael Jackson asked to meet Dreamfinder. We also discuss the future of the attraction, characters, and EPCOT, Walt, and so much more. ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com - Please visit the All-NEW WDW Radio Site, Show, and Community!

WDW Radio # 597 - Former Imagineer Josh Shipley Interview This week, as I continue to seek to highlight some of the incredible creatives at the Disney Company, we turn once again to Imagineering, and former Imagineer Josh Shipley. He shares not just his journey from a young age to Cast Member and eventual Imagineer, but his experiences in a variety of roles and disciplines at Walt Disney Imagineering. Josh discusses some of the many projects he worked on for Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Hong Kong, and Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea, as well as his time working on various projects in the theme parks for Marvel. We also talk about LOST, Lincoln, Star Wars, Joe Rohde, Tony Baxter, Star Wars... and a few concepts that never came to be! Josh also share guidance for those looking to seek their own path to Imagineering, valuable lessons learned, and his predictions not just for what's ahead for Marvel in the Disney Parks, but fascinating insight into the future of themed entertainment. ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com/Community - Join the community and conversation WDWRadio.com/Support - Join the WDW Radio NATION to get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch, chat and CALL-IN Wednesdays 7:30pm ET on Facebook LIVE WDWRadio.com/Events - Upcoming WDW Radio Disney meets, On the Road events, cruises, and more!

WDW Radio # 595 - The One with Walt, Part 2 In Part 2 of “The One With Walt,” we continue to discuss some of the one things we would show and do with Walt Disney, including who from the Disney Company we would want to introduce him to, and questions about movies, television, songs, and more. I’ll also poll the panel in a “lightning round” conversation about what we believe Walt might think of Epcot, the Marvel and Star Wars acquisitions, use of IP in the parks, leadership, and the Company as a whole, before posing the final question of what we would ASK Walt. Of course, I’ll ask you to weigh in on all of these and share your thoughts as well. ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com/Community - Join the community and conversation WDWRadio.com/Support - Join the WDW Radio NATION to get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch, chat and CALL-IN Wednesdays 7:30pm ET on Facebook LIVE WDWRadio.com/Events - Upcoming WDW Radio Disney meets, On the Road events, cruises, and more!

WDW Radio # 594 - The One with Walt, Part 1 We’ve all asked ourselves, or have been asked questions that begin with “What would Walt think of…” And while it’s a question I’m not sure anyone is qualified to answer, it’s something we’d all like to know, and wish we could hear directly from him. So this week, I want to give you the opportunity to not just ask Walt, but show him, on this week’s show, The One with Walt. In this two-part series, we look at and consider not the one question you would ask (we’ll get to that, too), but the one attraction, show, technology, restaurant, movie, song, person, and other questions that will get you thinking about your answer… and what Walt’s might be. ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com/Community - Join the community and conversation WDWRadio.com/Support - Join the WDW Radio NATION to get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch, chat and CALL-IN Wednesdays 7:30pm ET on Facebook LIVE WDWRadio.com/Events - Upcoming WDW Radio Disney meets, On the Road events, cruises, and more!

WDW Radio # 593 - Top Ten Disney Villains

WDW Radio # 593 - Top Ten Disney Villains Part of what makes the hero's journey in storytelling so memorable are the characters that sometimes help make them heroic. And in many cases, for every great hero, there is an equally evil villain. So this week, we're going to look at our Top Ten Disney Villains, including those from the Marvel and Star Wars universes. We will explore, in-depth, what makes a good (or bad) villain, story arc, motivation, sympathies, relationships, and what else makes up and drives their character. We'll also discuss Walt Disney, the evolution of the Disney villain, some "non-traditional" villains, who is on our lists, and why. Of course, I'll want to hear from you and your best (or worst) Disney villain as well. ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com/Community - Join the community and conversation WDWRadio.com/Support - Join the WDW Radio NATION to get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch, chat and CALL-IN Wednesdays 7:30pm ET on Facebook LIVE WDWRadio.com/Events - Upcoming WDW Radio Disney meets, On the Road events, cruises, and more!

We discuss his background, working for Walt Disney World as part of the very first Disney College Program, as well as his very personal inspiration for Homecomin’. Chef shares stories (including some he’s never told before) about working for Oprah, his conversation with (and recommendation for) Disney CEO Bob Iger, lessons learned from Disney, entrepreneurial inspiration, and more. As we share a number of items from the Homecomin’ menu together for a mini-live dining review (I think for the first time dining with the Chef and restaurant founder). I’ll be honest… we just started talking and I let the microphone keep on going. We also talk about the opportunities the shutdown afforded him personally and professionally, his charitable work, and much more. ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com/Community - Join the community and conversation WDWRadio.com/Support - Join the WDW Radio NATION to get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch, chat and CALL-IN Wednesdays 7:30pm ET on Facebook LIVE WDWRadio.com/Events - Upcoming WDW Radio Disney meets, On the Road events, cruises, and more!

WDW Radio # 589 - The Disney-MGM Studio Backlot in Burbank That Never Was

WDW Radio # 589 - The Disney-MGM Studio Backlot in Burbank That Never Was This week, we will look at one of the most interesting, unique, yet obscure, unbuilt Disney Parks - The Disney-MGM Studios Backlot in Burbank. That's right, in the mid-80's officials from the city of Burbank, California worked towards an agreement with Disney to build a theme park, retail, dining, hotel, and studio in their downtown district. We will explore the early genesis of the idea, the dream, the Imagineers who worked on the project, storyline, and very detailed look at exactly what this complex was going to include... including some very odd concepts. Of course, we'll find out what problems caused this to not only never be built, but led to a longtime (possibly ongoing) feud for the Disney Company, as well as the overall aftermath... and what ideas survived. ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com/Community - Join the community and conversation WDWRadio.com/Support - Join the WDW Radio NATION to get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch, chat and CALL-IN Wednesdays 7:30pm ET on Facebook LIVE WDWRadio.com/Events - Upcoming WDW Radio Disney meets, On the Road events, cruises, and more!

WDW Radio # 588 - Top Ten Countries We Would Add to World Showcase, History, Concepts, Lost Pavilions, and What May Be Next This week, we visit World Showcase… the one that never was, and the one that might be. We will first look at the early history of the idea of bringing different nations to the Disney Parks, because it didn’t start in Epcot… but in Disneyland, with Walt Disney. We’ll explore early concepts for Walt Disney World, including its originally planned location... again, not in Epcot. Before exploring what we’d like to see come next to World Showcase, we’ll discuss what it takes to bring a new country to Epcot, as well as the spaces and places possible new pavilions can be located. We’ll then share our Top Ten Countries We Would Add to World Showcase, planned countries that were never built, and rumors of what may come next. Of course, I want YOU to share what country you’d like to see added to World Showcase, where, and why. ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com/Community - Join the community and conversation WDWRadio.com/Support - Join the WDW Radio NATION to get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch, chat and CALL-IN Wednesdays 7:30pm ET on Facebook LIVE WDWRadio.com/Events - Upcoming WDW Radio Disney meets, On the Road events, cruises, and more!

WDW Radio # 583 - The History of Disney’s Animal Kingdom - From Concept to Reality, Part 1 On April 22, 1998, Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened its gates and instantly established itself as something very different, and definitely “NAHTAZU.” More importantly, the park’s opening represented a continuation of Walt Disney’s dream for bringing unique animal experiences and an awareness of the importance of conservation, and truly living with the land to guests from around the world. This week, we will look back at the dream that became a reality, thanks to Michael Eisner. We’ll explore the early concepts, planning, and development, and the massive, collaborative effort it took to a create a living, breathing, evolving, and magical park, which embodies the spirit of edutainment. ------------------------------------- WDWRadio.com/Community - Join the community and conversation WDWRadio.com/Support - Join the WDW Radio NATION to get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch, chat and CALL-IN Wednesdays 7:30pm ET on Facebook LIVE WDWRadio.com/Events - Upcoming WDW Radio Disney meets, On the Road events, cruises, and more!

WDW Radio # 575 - 20 Reasons to Visit Walt Disney World in 2020

WDW Radio # 575 - 20 Reasons to Visit Walt Disney World in 2020 Walt Disney said of Disneyland that it “...would never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world. It is something that will never be finished. Something that I can keep developing and adding to.” The same is very much true for Walt Disney World, and while I have been saying for some time that it is a wonderful time to be a Disney fan, 2020 brings even more exciting additions, changes, expansion and experiences to the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks. So this week, we will share 20 Reasons to Visit Walt Disney World in 2020 - whether you are planning your first vacation, think you may have seen or done it all, or need a few more reasons to come back, there is something here for you… including a few (very) hidden things you won’t find on a guide map or web site. I'll have the answer to our last Walt Disney World Trivia Question of the Week, and this week, instead of a trivia question, I want to help you to plan for your next vacation to the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks or let you bring a little bit of Disney home with a chance to win $100 in Disney Gift Cards with a simple, new contest!

WDW Radio # 568 - Adventures by Disney to Japan - Part 1 This is the show I have waited my entire life to record… is that a bit of hyperbole? Maybe. But I have dreamed of visiting Japan since I was a little kid (that’s about 4 decades or so), so being able to visit and tour Japan (not even including a few extra days at Tokyo Disneyland) with friends and members of the WDW Radio family through our Adventures by Disney group trip, really was the trip of a lifetime. 11 days, dozens of locations, countless meals and snacks… and spoiler alert: It exceeded my already high expectations. This week, we will go through Part 1 of our Adventures by Disney to Japan recap, including our time in Kyoto and Osaka… and my favorite part of the entire trip.

WDW Radio # 558 - Unbuilt Disney Parks

WDW Radio # 558 - Unbuilt Disney Parks Did you know that in addition to Walt Disney World and Disneyland, there were plans… and lot of them… to build additional parks in the United States? From St. Louis to Mineral King, from the East Coast to the shores of California, there were a number of ideas that were very close to being built. This week, we’ll look at some of the many unbuilt and lost DIsney Parks concepts… including a few you may have never heard of… or realized just how close they were to becoming a reality, including Mineral King, St. Louis Riverfront Square, Texposition, Disney's America, Port Disney, WESTCot, Disney in New York, Disney Wharf, the S.S. Disney and more! We’ll look at where they were going and why, the reasons why they never came to be, and where some of those ideas eventually ended up.

WDW Radio # 555 - Ten Things We Love About Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge

WDW Radio # 555 - Ten Things We Love About Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland (and soon to be Walt Disney World), is the realization of more than four decades of living out our individual Star Wars fantasies. From playing with toys in our basements, to wearing our bathrobes as Jedi robes, we have always dreamed of being able to step into the Star Wars universe. Well now, we, and YOU, can. With SO much to take in, wander through, taste, build, and enjoy in Galaxy’s Edge, this week we are going to share Ten Things We (and I think YOU will) Love About Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge. The land is overwhelming in the best possible way, and we’ll help you navigate what to do and where, and the secrets on how to get the most out of your ultimate Star Wars experience. I’ll also share why you don’t have to be a Star Wars fan to love and appreciate the Black Spire Outpost. Plus, I had the opportunity to meet and speak with Bob Chapek, the Chairman of Parks, Experiences and Products for the Walt Disney Company about Galaxy’s Edge… and just what makes this place so very special.

WDW Radio # 552 - Disney and Space Walt Disney was more than a pioneer in animation, moviemaking, theme parks and family entertainment. In fact, Walt Disney was a boy fascinated by futuristic tales of space travel, and who would, unbeknownst to many, help the United States imagine the experience and reality of actual space travel. This week, we’ll explore how Walt and his Imagineers worked with Wernher von Braun and used television to help influence public perception of rockets and space travel through his Disneyland TV specials (including some shows that were never made), and contribute in a meaningful way to America’s space program. We’ll also look at how he inspired and impacted many people, including President Eisenhower, as well as Disney’s portrayal of space in feature films and television. We’ll then explore the history of space-themed attractions in Disneyland and Walt Disney World, and current contributions to and with NASA.

WDW Radio # 549 - Top Ten Seats in Walt Disney World… and How to Get Them

WDW Radio # 549 - Top Ten Seats in Walt Disney World… and How to Get Them As part of my ongoing mission to help you enhance your enjoyment and appreciation of the Disney Parks... and cruise... and movies, etc., this week, we're going to share our Top Ten Seats in Walt Disney World. From where the best seat is on an attraction, to where to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ambiance, as well as some other very "loose" interpretations of what that really means, we'll help you pick out the best seats in the house (or ride vehicle). You’ll learn about what you may have been missing, how to get the best view, or even score a special table at your favorite restaurant (Boathouse, I'm talking to you!). Of course I want to hear from you, as I invite you to share your favorite seats as well.

WDW Radio # 545 - Extinct Stage Shows of Walt Disney World One of my favorite aspects of Walt Disney World is the wide variety of live entertainment, and over the past nearly 5 decades we have seen different types of shows come to life on stage in the parks. From retellings of classic Disney animated films to some of the more…. “unique” concepts that included everything from a comic strip character from the 1930s to Barbie dolls, Chevy Chase and David Letterman, life size-Muppets, a Pet Detective, a sleeping bear, humanimals, a motorcycle circus in the skies over Epcot, talking turtles, and other characters that weren't even FROM Disney… it made for an interesting array of offerings… and the subject of this week’s show, as we look at some of the Extinct Stage Shows of Walt Disney World.

But along the way, we were “Making Memories,” and had fun, and a lot of it - in Walt Disney World, Disneyland, the international Disney Parks, at sea on the Disney Cruise Line, and in the movies as well. This week, we will gather around the table and reflect back on the 2018 Disney year that was, as we look at the what was new, what was announced, what we did, what we loved, and what (and who) we lost along the way.

And as a special bonus, I’ll share a conversation between the Mary Poppins Returns songwriters, and Disney Legend Richard M.

WDW Radio # 537 - Native American Culture in the Disney Parks and Movies

WDW Radio # 537 - Native American Culture in the Disney Parks and Movies November is Native American Heritage Month, and this week, we’ll look at references to Native Americans in Walt Disney World, including their earliest beginnings in Disneyland. We’ll explore the history of the references, tribes, artwork, and culture, as well as trace back and discuss their presence in Disney feature films, and connection to Walt Disney himself. We’ll look back at not only some extinct references in the parks, but also discuss some unrealized concepts, attractions, and lands. We’ll explore everywhere you can currently find Native American inspiration, art, and stories in Walt Disney World, including the new “Creating Tradition: Innovation and Change in American Indian Art” in the American Adventure pavilion in Epcot.

WDW Radio # 536 - Adventures by Disney Backstage Magic Recap and Review Adventure is out there… and sometimes it’s found in places we’ve visited before, and others we can only dream of seeing. Well, thanks to Adventures by Disney, we were recently able to do both, as members of our WDW Radio family gathered together in Southern California for not just an adventure, but the making of dreams come true. Together, we experienced a very special unique tour of classic Hollywood, one of Walt Disney’s personal favorite restaurants, as well as his studio, private offices, Imagineering, the Jim Henson studios, the Walt Disney Archives, his actual apartment, onstage and backstage at the Disneyland and Disney California Adventures parks, and a continuing list of surprises. This week, we’ll share our recent trip, and invite YOU to come on future Adventures with us!

We will continue our conversation, starting with employment, including finding or creating a job, and the timing of finding work vs. finding a place to live. We also address the very important topic of relationships, in terms of leaving friends and family, as well as finding new friends, and yes, new family as well. We'll also talk about the actual realities of making the move, including what we would do differently, what we miss, lessons we leaned, and practical advice to share. Of course, we'll also talk about how our Disney experience has changed, including advantages of living so close to the parks, and whether the Disney magic is still there. We'll punctuate the entire discussion about our move to Disney with a quick Top Ten Reasons (other than Disney) to move to Disney.

WDW Radio # 531 - Wayback Machine: History of the Disney Institute Did you know that at one time, Disney had planned to build not just a shopping village, but an entire residential community IN Walt Disney World? From townhouses to apartments, to single family homes and even a retirement community, this abandoned idea led to the creation of the Disney Institute. Here, Guests would stay, play, and more importantly, learn from Disney in dozens of areas, including animation, culinary, gardening, photography, televisions, and more. This week, we'll travel aboard my Walt Disney World Wayback Machine to discover how the idea of this Lake Buena Vista Village community became a learning center thanks to Michael Eisner, its courses and programs, why it didn't succeed, and how it became what is now Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort.

WDW Radio # 528 - Italy in Epcot: Just How Close is The Pavilion to the Actual Country?

WDW Radio # 528 - Italy in Epcot: Just How Close is The Pavilion to the Actual Country? For decades, Epcot’s Word Showcase has allowed visitors to Walt Disney World to visit, explore, and learn about regions, cultures, and people from all over the world, and in many cases, countries they may never get to visit otherwise. And with all things Disney, it’s rooted in story, and in the case of the pavilions of World Showcase, the history as well. We wander through replicas of villages, buildings, shops, streets, and temples, but just how close are the pavilions to the real thing? In the past, we have asked and answered this question with detailed looks at the UK on show 202, and Norway on show 236. This week, we’ll travel to Italy, as I’m joined from a friend from Italy who helps to compare and contrast the pavilion with the country. Recorded live as we wander through the pavilion, we'll discuss the architecture, culture, symbolism, history and stories, as we virtually tour the piazza, shops, dining options, history, architecture, and much more. It's a fascinating look into how and where Italian culture, traditions and history are found in the pavilion itself, and the attention to detail that Disney's Imagineers included to provide guests a truly authentic experience. Oh, and we may stop to sample an item on the menu… or two.

WDW Radio # 527 - Interview with Jim Cummings, the Voice of Winnie the Pooh (and Tigger, too!)

WDW Radio # 527 - Interview with Jim Cummings, the Voice of Winnie the Pooh (and Tigger, too!) Deep in the Hundred Acre Wood, where Christopher Robin plays, you’ll find the enchanted neighborhood, of Christopher’s childhood days… and his adult ones, too. Disney’s "Christopher Robin” the live-action story of the now-grown title character, reunites him with his favorite childhood toy and companion in a heartwarming story for kids and adults. The man who has given Winnie the Pooh (and Tigger, too!) his voice for many years is legendary voice talent Jim Cummings, who joins me on this week’s show. Jim has also been the voice of Darkwing Duck, as well as Razoul from Aladdin, Ed from The Lion King, Chief Powhatan from Pocahontas, one of my personal favorites, Ray from The Princess and The Frog, dozens of other Disney characters, and the narrator for Epcot’s Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. We’ll discuss not just Jim’s own childhood days and journey to taking over as the voice for Winnie the Pooh, but the voiceover process, challenges, working for the first-time on the live-action film, and how Pooh has changed in order to deal with a grown up Christopher Robin.

WDW Radio # 526 - Enzo’s Hidewaway Sunday Supper LIVE Review

WDW Radio # 526 - Enzo’s Hidewaway Sunday Supper LIVE Review One of my family’s longtime traditions when I used to live in New Jersey was Sunday dinner with my entire family at my grandmother’s house in Brooklyn. We would gather around a large table and share food, wine, stories, and laughter. And while I miss those days, and my grandmother’s Italian cooking, it’s been hard to replicate that experience since moving to Florida. But this week, I may have found something that might fill that need, and my appetite, as well as satisfy my nostalgic cravings, as I invite you, my extended family, to join my family around the table inside Enzo’s Hideaway at Disney Springs for Sunday Supper for a live dining review.

WDW Radio # 525 - Top Ten Things to Happen at Disney in the Past 10 Years

WDW Radio # 525 - Top Ten Things to Happen at Disney in the Past 10 Years In the mid-80’s, Michael Eisner ushered in the “Disney Decade”, which brought significant growth and change to Walt Disney World, as well as the Parks, Resorts, and company as a whole. But more recently, the past decade has also given us remarkable events, announcements, acquisitions, expansion, and milestones, not just in the parks and resorts, but in movies, music, and more. So this week, we’re going to look back and share our Top Ten Favorite Things to Happen at (and in) Disney in the Past 10 Years as we take a year-by-year look from 2008 to 2018. Of course, as we take this trip down Memory Lane together, I’ll also invite you to share your favorite event, addition, announcement, or personal Disney memory from the past decade.

We not only step back in time to the golden age of air travel in this warm, wonderfully-themed restaurant, but gather around the table to share and savor in traditional Italian cuisine. We will make our way through the menu, from appetizers to dessert (and everything in between), and discuss not just our thoughts on where this restaurant ranks to us in Walt Disney World, but how it compares to an even tougher test… our Italian grandmother’s home cooking.

WDW Radio # 519 - Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige Interview

WDW Radio # 519 - Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige Interview Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War is the culmination of 10 years of films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And the journey that began with Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk led to a string of blockbuster films that has not only defined the superhero genre, but has raised the bar of large-scale storytelling. I sat down with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and discussed not just his personal journey from the kid in Jersey who loved the movies, but the the filmmaking process of bringing these comics and characters to life, meaningful storylines, the characters, tone, process, as well as the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's a fascinating look at the mindset, challenges, opportunities, motivations, and process. It's more than a conversation just about creating superhero movies, but a personal inspirational journey as well.

Not just that lump in your throat when you see something that gives you all the feels, but our emotions includes a wide variety of feelings such as wonder, joy, and love. This week, we'll explore not just the psychology and sociology behind this range of emotions, but the who, what, why, when, and how of these moments, places, people, and experiences in Walt Disney World. Of course, I’ll want to hear from you, and the most emotional experience you’ve had (or have) when you visit.

WDW Radio # 513 - Interview with Muppet Cast Member Dave Goelz - Gonzo the Great, Zoot, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Beauregard and more! If you would have told seven year-old Lou Mongello that one day he would have the opportunity to interview one of his favorite Muppets, he would have dropped his Muppet puppets on the floor and lost his little mind.

WDW Radio # 496 - Adventures by Disney to China Recap - Part 1 - Hong Kong and Beijing In September, we embarked on a unique group Adventures by Disney to China (the country, not the pavilion), with stops in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai. What made this one special, and different than other Adventures, is that we modified the trip to include stops in the Disney parks as well. This week, I invite some fellow adventurers, friends, and members of the WDW Radio Nation to join me as we recap this epic experience. In part one of our review, we’ll discuss Hong Kong, Beijing, the Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City, and the Great Wall of China. Of course, we’ll also take a close look at Hong Kong Disneyland, including our favorite attractions and experiences on our Adventures by Disney, as well as the food, some unexpected surprises, and maybe even sneak peeks as to what may be coming to the domestic parks.

WDW Radio # 494 - Top Ten Corny, Nostalgic, And Sentimental Things We (Still) Love About Walt Disney World Part of the reason why we love and visit Walt Disney World over and over again, is the ability to leave the real world behind, be a kid again, and laugh - at not just ourselves, but the memories we are making, and the jokes we’ve heard countless times. This week, we’re going to look at some of our favorite reasons, attractions, and moments, in the Top Ten Corny, Nostalgic, And Sentimental Things We (Still) Love About Walt Disney World. It’s a fun and (somewhat) sentimental journey through many of the people, places, and simple things that we not only love and revisit, but maybe even have a bit of a deeper meaning for us.

WDW Radio # 492 - Disney’s Haunted Mansion: History, Secrets and Stories

WDW Radio # 492 - Disney’s Haunted Mansion: History, Secrets and Stories The story of how Walt Disney’s first idea for a haunted house in Disneyland came to become the legendary Haunted Mansion is a long, circuitous one, and reads like a Hollywood movie. It’s filled with mystery, suspense, a cast of interesting (and often conflicting) characters, laughter, a little bit of magic, and a payoff at the end that still entertains and thrills guests decades later. This week, to celebrate the anniversary of one of Disney’s most legendary and time-tested attractions, we’re going to go back to the very beginnings of how the concept of the attraction came to be, its many stages, stories, players, secrets, troubles, and how it eventually became the Haunted Mansions we know and love.

WDW Radio # 491 - Top Ten Things to Collect in Walt Disney World Part of the fun of visiting Walt Disney World is bringing back a souvenir (or souvenirs) from our trip. And over times, sometimes these single souvenirs evolve into something we begin to collect. This week, we’ll look at our Top Ten Things to Collect in Walt Disney World. From the free to the sentimental, they help us remember our trips, memorialize special events, and, in many cases, add to our (growing) collection. And whether you consider yourself a collector or not, chances are there is one (or more) things on our list that you can (or already do) like to collect when you go to Walt Disney World.

WDW Radio # 481 - Beastly Kingdom - The Walt Disney World That Never Was

WDW Radio # 481 - Beastly Kingdom - The Walt Disney World That Never Was Long before anyone ever dreamed of Pandora: The World of Avatar, or even Camp Minnie-Mickey at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, original plans for Walt Disney World’s fourth theme park included an exciting, radical, new concept. This kingdom of animals was going to include not only those that were real, but once that were ancient and imagined... a kingdom to be ruled by lions, dinosaurs and dragons. This week, we will turn back the clock on our Wayback Machine and explore the land that never came to be - Beastly Kingdom. We discuss how and why this land of mythical beasts got on the drawing board, virtually tour the attractions and environments, look at why it never came to be, why we’ll likely never see it at all, and where you can still find remnants of it in the park today.

WDW Radio # 478 - Hidden Treasure of WDW - Late-Night at Sanaa Lounge What I love about visiting, and revisiting, Walt Disney World is that there is always something new to discover. It doesn’t matter how many time you’ve been, how much of an expert or veteran you consider yourself, or if you think you’ve done it all, not every special or unique (or even delicious) experience can be found on a map or in a guidebook. This week, I take you with me to one of my favorite places (and times of day) to find a special snack and experience, as we go to Sanaa Lounge at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge at Kidani Village. From culinary delights to speciality cocktails, it’s a fun, relaxing experience inspired by the spice markets of Africa that is one of my personal favorites in all of Walt Disney World… and were you just might find me late one evening.

And for me, near (or at the) top of my list is something that I’m sure is on yours - the Cast Members. And I would also imagine that you may have actually imaged yourself as a Cast Member, or even took the steps to becoming one. And so because I believe (strongly) that the Cast Members’ roles are SO important, fun, and in many cases, truly magical, this week we’re going to look at the Top Ten Cast Member Roles at Walt Disney World - both ones we admire, and ones we could like to be.

One such location is Planet Hollywood, which opened in 1994 amidst the glitz and glamour of Hollywood royalty like Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Jessica Rabbit. Recently, the restaurant underwent a transformation - in name, theming, and menu. This week, join me at the table, as we sample the menu, review the decor, and see what at Planet Hollywood had changed, and what has remained the same. And remember... Don’t listen hungry.

WDW Radio # 459 - Top Ten Things We Love About Japan in Epcot

WDW Radio # 459 - Top Ten Things We Love About Japan in Epcot You might think I love World Showcase because it is a veritable buffet of flavors along a 1.2 mile long promenade. Actually, it is because each pavilion is a gateway to an opportunity to learn, understand… and yes, eat your way through rich histories of cultures you might not otherwise be exposed to. This week, I am drawn to my favorite pavilion in Epcot - Japan. Together, we will not only explore the details of the pavilion, but our Top 10 Things We Love About Japan. And no… they aren’t all centered around food. Well, not all of them.

WDW Radio # 458 - Tutto Gusto LIVE Review Join me at the table this week as we sit back, relax, to enjoy and review the Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar in the Italy pavilion in Epcot in Walt Disney World. More than a lounge, it is a true hidden gem, a delicious surprise, and a personal favorite getaway in the parks. We’ll sample and review much of the appetizer, dinner, dessert, and wine menus, and I’ll share stories and compare how some of the items hold up to what I would eat at my grandmother’s house every Sunday while growing up. You might want to have a bowl of pasta handy while you’re listening, and I’ll apologize in advance for my butchering of the Italian language.

WDW Radio # 436 - Disney Legend Harper Goff

WDW Radio # 436 - Disney Legend Harper Goff In my continuing series featuring Disney Legends, this week I want to share with you the story and work of Harper Goff. One of Walt Disney’s earliest Imagineers, his work on films such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and in the parks is classic Disney storytelling at its finest. From the attractions you may know he worked on, to a few you probably didn’t, I think you’ll leave with a new appreciation of a truly gifted artist.

WDW Radio # 435 - Afternoon Tea at Disney's Grand Floridian

WDW Radio # 435 - Afternoon Tea at Disney's Grand Floridian We are often so busy rushing between attractions that we sometime forget that we’re on vacation when we visit Walt Disney World. Sometimes, you are so consumed with trying to see it all, that you miss more than you should. And because of that, many experiences (especially those outside the parks), are either overlooked, or, in the case of this week’s show, are one that you might not even know exist. So I invite you to join me as we take a step through time within the walls of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, for a special treat and memorable experience, as we will sample a cherished tradition of British refinement with Afternoon Tea at the Garden View Tea Room.

My love of Walt Disney World began in November of 1971 and grew with each new trip and adventure I experienced with my my parents and brother. But my interest and fascination grew in large part to what I experienced not while in the parks, but in the car or at home, as I loved reading, collecting and learning everything I could about what made this place special. And getting to peek at photos from construction to behind the scenes or even of my favorite attractions field my love of Walt Disney World even more. And over time, my interest, and book collection as grown, so this week, we’re going to share our 10 Books That Need to be in Every Walt Disney World Fan’s Library.

Snack of the Week - A Fall Treat in the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World

http://WDWRadio.com - Your Walt Disney World Information Station, hosted by Lou Mongello Welcome to the latest Disney Snack of the Week! Look for new snacks from Walt Disney World and other Disney parks and the Cruise Line each week! This week, I'm back at Disney's Hollywood Studios, at the end of Sunset Blvd. right near Rock 'n Roller Coaster, Starring Aerosmith The KRNR Rock Station Food Truck, (which looks more like a food trailer), is a great place to stop and get a quick snack... which I'd probably recommend getting after you ride "Rock 'n Roller Coaster, Starring Aerosmith" and not before. (Oh, and can you spot the Hidden Mickey in the sign?) The Smoothies are made with non-fat yogurt and come in Strawberry, Banana, Strawberry/Banana, Orange-Pineapple, and Cappuccino flavors. They are $4.49, plus tax and are one Disney Dining Plan Snack credit. You can also get a hot dog, Minute Maid Frozen Lemonade, Root Beer or Coke Float, Waffle Cone, Ice Cream Cup, sodas, chips, etc. For the adults, there is a Lemonade Frozen Cooler, with a shot of Bacardi Silver Rum, Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey, or Three Olives Cherry Vodka. But for a cool, refreshing while you're waiting in line or after you ride, try the smoothies... and let me know what flavor is your favorite! What's YOUR favorite Disney snack? Let me know in the COMMENTS below and I'll feature it on a future episode!

Snack of the Week - A Rockin' Smoothie at Disney's Hollywood Studios!

http://WDWRadio.com - Your Walt Disney World Information Station, hosted by Lou Mongello Welcome to the latest Disney Snack of the Week! Look for new snacks from Walt Disney World and other Disney parks and the Cruise Line each week! This week, I'm back at Disney's Hollywood Studios, at the end of Sunset Blvd. right near Rock 'n Roller Coaster, Starring Aerosmith The KRNR Rock Station Food Truck, (which looks more like a food trailer), is a great place to stop and get a quick snack... which I'd probably recommend getting after you ride "Rock 'n Roller Coaster, Starring Aerosmith" and not before. (Oh, and can you spot the Hidden Mickey in the sign?) The Smoothies are made with non-fat yogurt and come in Strawberry, Banana, Strawberry/Banana, Orange-Pineapple, and Cappuccino flavors. They are $4.49, plus tax and are one Disney Dining Plan Snack credit. You can also get a hot dog, Minute Maid Frozen Lemonade, Root Beer or Coke Float, Waffle Cone, Ice Cream Cup, sodas, chips, etc. For the adults, there is a Lemonade Frozen Cooler, with a shot of Bacardi Silver Rum, Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey, or Three Olives Cherry Vodka. But for a cool, refreshing while you're waiting in line or after you ride, try the smoothies... and let me know what flavor is your favorite! What's YOUR favorite Disney snack? Let me know in the COMMENTS below and I'll feature it on a future episode!

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #347 for the week of January 19, 2014. I believe that one of the best ways to learn about a culture and people is obviously bro visit their home country. The next best thing is to tour World Showcase in Epcot.

Well this week, we're going to visit the Rose & Crown pub in Epcot's United Kingdom pavilion with someone who calls England home for a live restaurant review.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #346 for the week of January 12, 2014. We all know someone who just doesn't "get it" or shares our mutual love for Walt Disney World. They wonder why we keep going back, talking about it, collecting it, and maybe even dreaming about it at work.

To that, I smile and say that this week, we're going to give you the Guy's Guide to Walt Disney World as we discuss things to do, see and enjoy while visiting the parks, resorts and restaurants. Whether you're taking a reluctant traveler or planning your next Mancation to the parks, there's something here for everyone. I'll have the answer to our last Walt Disney World Trivia Question of the Week, and pose a new audio challenge for your chance to win a Disney prize package.

Live Review of Via Napoli in Epcot, Disney Trivia Contest and more! - Apr. 14, 2013 Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #320 for the week of April 14, 2013. As a Florida resident who was born and raised in New Jersey, I'm constantly on a quest for a little taste of home, including good, authentic pizza, and this week, my search has brought me to what many argue isn't just the best pizza in Florida, but anywhere - Via Napoli in the Italy pavilion of Epcot's World Showcase. This week, we'll do a live review of Via Napoli and sample not just their authentic neapolitan pizza, but take a culinary tour of Southern Italy - all while never leaving Walt Disney World. I'll have the answer to our last Walt Disney World Trivia Question of the Week, and pose a new challenge for your chance to win a Disney prize package. Stay tuned for additional information and announcements at the end of the show. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show. ------------------------------------- THANK YOU for your support by voting WDW Radio Best Travel Podcast for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012! ------------------------------------- Visit http://WDWRadio.com for our Disney blog, videos, events and more!

WDW Radio Show # 296 - October 14, 2012 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Late-Night Dining in Walt Disney World - Live Review at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, Disney Trivia Contest and more! Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #296 for the week of October 14, 2012. I'm here to help you have the best possible Disney vacation experience, and bring you some Disney magic to to wherever you are with this podcast, videos, blog, live broadcasts, events, trivia books, CDs and more. You can find it all at WDWRadio.com I want to introduce you to what may be a new type of dining experience for you in Walt Disney World. While we traditionally think of breakfast, lunch and dinner in the parks, resorts and other dining locations, this week we're going to do a live restaurant review - not in a restaurant. One of my favorite ways and locations to dine in is late-night at the lounges across Walt Disney World property. Did you know that most of the lounges have a great appetizer menu with items you normally can't find anywhere else?

We'll discuss the ways, apps, resources, and tips for using the technology, how sharing our days in the parks has changed it for us, and those that we share them with. It's an interesting look into the "new social" part of Walt Disney World, including photos, videos, audio, social networks and more.

Smart, stylish and fun, the game grid of Tron was groundbreaking, and recently, Tron was reborn with the Tron: Legacy film (and Tronorail at Walt Disney World) in late 2010, ElecTRONica at Disneyland, and this week, the story continues on Disney XD with Tron: Uprising. One of the original film's stars was Cindy Morgan, who played the dual role of Lora and Yori, and she joins me this week in an exclusive interview. We talk about her career and roles in iconic films like Caddyshack, and of course, Tron, as she shares stories of the making of the films, the Tron phenomenon, her fans and much more. I'll have the answer and winner for last week's Walt Disney World Trivia Question of the Week, and pose a new one for your chance to win a Disney prize package. I'll have just a few quick announcements before playing some more of your voicemails at the end of the show. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show. ------------------------------------- THANK YOU for your support by voting WDW Radio Best Travel Podcast for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011! ------------------------------------- Visit http://WDWRadio.com for our Disney blog, videos, events and more!

Star Wars Weekends 2012 at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Star Wars Weekends 2012 at Disney's Hollywood Studios Join Lou Mongello from WDW Radio as he explores and enjoys the first Star Wars Weekends 2012, an annual event at Disney's Hollywood Studios celebrating the Star Wars films and animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Since 1997, Star Wars Weekends has been presented at Walt Disney World at Disney's Hollywood Studios and includes special shows and parades, Star Wars celebrities, autograph opportunities, special limited-edition merchandise and memorabilia and even Star Wars themed food! You'll also get a peek inside the Carbon Freeze-Me experience, where you can get "frozen" in Carbonite, just like Han Solo in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. The highlight of the event is the nightly Hyperspace Hoopla, performed by a cast of Star Wars stars at the end of Hollywood Boulevard. The Rebel Alliance battles Emperor Palpatine and the evil Empire in a dance off of today's hottest music. Darth Vader, Boba Fett and a legion of Stormtroopers match their moves against Chewbacca, Slave Leia and Padme Amidala, along with C-3PO (in Shuffle Bot headwear). Their dance-off to LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" and "Party Rock" is priceless! ========================================= Join us every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET at http://WDWRadioLIVE.com for a LIVE interactive video news show covering Walt Disney World.

WDW Radio Show # 267 - March 25, 2012 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Interview with Disney Composer Bruce Broughton and Trivia Contest Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #267 for the week of March 25, 2012. I'm pleased to share an interview this week with someone whose incredible talents in storytelling are not with pictures or words, but through his music. Bruce Broughton has received 20 Emmy and numerous Grammy awards as well as an Academy Award nomination for his television and motion picture work, and he also composed and conducted scores for Disney animated films such as The Rescuers Down Under and Bambi II. His incredible music can also be found throughout the Disney parks in themes for attractions such as Ellen's Energy Adventure, The Timekeeper, Honey I Shrunk the Audience and most recently, Spaceship Earth. He will share stories about working on the films and in the theme parks, including the processes, inspiration, differences and experiences, which may just make you appreciate these incredible works of art even more. I'll have the answer and winner for last week's Walt Disney World Trivia Question of the Week, and pose a new one for your chance to win a Disney prize package. I'll have a few announcements and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show. ------------------------------------- THANK YOU for your support by voting WDW Radio Best Travel Podcast for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011! ------------------------------------- Visit WDWRadio.com and talk about the show by posting in the WDW Radio message forums Walt Disney World Trivia on your iPhone! 770+ questions and more!: http://bit.ly/wdwtip Twitter: http://Twitter.com/LouMongello Facebook: http://Facebook.com/WDWRadio Google+: http://LouMongello.com/gplus Subscribe to Celebrations!

WDW Radio Show # 262 - February 19, 2012 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Conversation with Disney Performer Carol Stein and more! Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #262 for the week of February 19, 2012. "You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality." That quote from Walt Disney exemplifies why Walt Disney World and all the Disney Parks worldwide mean so much to so many people, and why we keep coming back again and again to a place that makes us believe in magic. And in my continuing effort to introduce you to some of the people that make that magic happen, this week I'm sharing my conversation with Carol Stein. You may not know her name (yet), but chances are you've seen her at The Hoop Dee Doo Revue, The Diamond Horseshoe Saloon, The Top of the World, The Grand Floridian lobby, the Comedy Warehouse and behind the piano at the Rose and Crown Pub to name just a few. She'll share her personal stories about working at Walt Disney World for more than three decades and offer advice for others looking to help make the magic as well. I'll have information about a special WDW NewsCast coming up this Wednesday, February 22 before playing more of your voicemails at the end of the show.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #251 for the week of December 4, 2011. With the popularity of the recents Muppets movie release, many of us are looking back fondly at our love of the Muppets growing up on TV and in film.

This week, we'll hop aboard my Walt Disney World Wayback machine and look back at the marriage of Disney and the Muppets, The Muppets at Walt Disney World TV special, shows and attractions in the parks, what could have (and should have) been, and the future of the Muppets in the Disney Parks.

The Orange Bird and a new Disney Contest Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #250 for the week of November 27, 2011. In the past 40 years, we've seen some pretty interesting things at Walt Disney World: A waterskiing Goofy, gunfighters shooting it out in Frontierland, singing fruit, a rapping Mickey and much more. But until recently, many people couldn't recall seeing a character walking around in Adventureland with a giant orange head, leaves for arms and a green stem sticking out of his head. Today, of course, we fondly recall (and miss) the Little Orange Bird, and in this week's show, Jim Korkis and I will take a look back in time at the Sunshine Tree Terrace and it's one-time host (and hostess). We'll explore the origins of the Orange Bird, the Sherman Brothers song, why he and Anita Bryant may have flown the coop, and the recent resurgence of our little orange friend. I'll then pose a question for you to share your thoughts on as well. It's also been way too long since our last contest, so this week, so listen carefully for your chance to win a Disney prize package in my "Where in the World Have You Heard This?" Contest. I’ll have a few announcements, including the date and location of the next Meet of the Month in Walt Disney World, and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show.

Menehune Adventure Trail at Disney's Aulani Resort

Join Lou Mongello on the Menehune Adventure Trail at Disney's Aulani Resort in Hawaii. This high-tech scavenger hunt leads you through Aulani as you solve riddles, search for hidden statues and discover surprises left by the Menehune—mischievous little people with magical powers. Interactive elements—with special effects involving fire, water, light and animation—offer fun for all ages. Follow a trail on the Resort grounds or enjoy a special indoor adventure. The interactive activity challenges guests with scavenger hunts, puzzles to solve, clues to figure out. Players are given a phone and can talk to Aunty and other characters; they're sent to hidden areas, and when a clue is solved this triggers something magical. The game takes place throughout the property; lots of objects "belong" to it and may hold hidden surprises. At Aulani, Hawaiian traditions blend with magical Disney storytelling to create world-class entertainment for the entire ʻŌhana.

It's a fascinating look into how and where Norwegian culture, traditions and history are found in the pavilion itself, and the attention to detail that Disney's Imagineers included to provide guests a truly authentic experience.

Interview with Pete Renaday, Disney voice actor (Country Bear Jamboree, 20,000 Leagues, TTA and more) Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #232 for the week of July 24, 2011. One of the things I enjoy doing on the show is recognizing and paying tribute to those people who have helped create the magic of the Walt Disney World parks that we enjoy today and have in the past. From Disney Legends to Imagineers, I feel fortunate to be able to share their stories in their own words. And this week, being able to hear from a person who has helped create some of that Disney magic is a real treat. From singing bears to an American President, his presence in the parks has been constant since Walt Disney World opened, and this week, I’m pleased to welcome Pete Renaday to the show. As Henry from the Country Bear Jamboree to President Lincoln and Captain Nemo, his career at the Disney Company started decades ago, and he shares his stories of meeting Walt Disney, working on animated films and his work in the theme parks. So just refrain from hibernatin’ and we'll all enjoy the show, cause he’s got a lot to give. I’ll have a few announcements before playing some of your voicemails at the end of the show.

Hidden Treasure of Walt Disney World - Audio Tidbits in the Parks Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #231 for the week of July 17, 2011. Walt Disney World is a multi-sensory environment, on which we as guests are not merely passive viewers, but active participants on a three dimensional stage. As part of the environmental experience, Disney has created details that help set that stage, and not all of them are meant to be seen. Instead, many are meant to be heard, and throughout the parks there are numerous hidden treasures in the form of audio tidbits. This week, we’ll look at, and help you discover, many of those overlooked audio treasures that create such an immersive, detailed atmosphere. I’ll have a few announcements before playing some of your voicemails at the end of the show. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

WDW Radio Show # 228 - June 26, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Interview with Disney Legend Jack Lindquist Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #228 for the week of June 26, 2011. During this past weekend’s 3rd annual PNW MouseMeet, a gathering of Disney fans in the Pacific Northwest, I had the privilege of not only attending once again, but the opportunity to sit down and interview another Disney Legend, and share that interview with you. Lack Lindquist joined the Disney Company just two months after Disneyland opened and during his nearly four decades with the company, held many roles, from public relations to being unexpectedly named the President of Disneyland. In addition to working directly with Walt Disney, Jack later went on to work on unique advertising concepts, EPCOT Center and many of his admittedly crazy ideas are still found in the parks today. I think you’ll enjoy getting a first-hand recount of the growth and development of the parks, and the Disney Company as a whole. I’ll have some announcements, and then play some of your voicemails at the end of the show.

Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin - History, Secrets, Surprises and Stories Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #225 for the week of June 4, 2011. In Walt Disney World, the concept that “everything speaks” holds true not just for attractions and shows, but restaurants, environments and even the resorts. And with that, it means that everything see you encounter tells a story, and every detail has meaning, even in places you might not otherwise expect. And that holds true for the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. This week, we’ll take a very close look at the interesting history of these resorts, their theming, secrets, and myths that surround them as well. It’s a fascinating look into two buildings with a deeper Disney connection and story than you might expect.

WDW Radio Show # 219 - April 24, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Partners Statue DSI: Disney Scene Investigation and Interview with the voice of Mickey Mouse, Bret Iwan Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #219 for the week of April 24, 2011. Walt Disney once said that he hoped that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse. This week, we’ll remember just that fact, as I have two segments that both involve Mickey Mouse. First, we’ll venture into the Magic Kingdom, and explore not an attraction, land, shop or show, but a single location. In fact, a single statute. In this week’s DSI: Disney Scene Investigation, we will look at the history and story behind the iconic Partners statue of Walt and Mickey, located in the central hub. The legacy of, and bond between Walt and Mickey goes far beyond one of simply artist and creation. In fact, Walt actually lent his voice to his most famous work as far back as 1929. Over the years, Walt passed that torch to other men who became the voice of Mickey, and this week, I have a chance to talk with Bret Iwan, the man, who eighty years after Mickey spoke his first words on screen, took over that role of a lifetime. We’ll talk about his personal story of becoming the voice of Mickey, the legacy, and the future. I’ll have some additional information for you, then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

WDW Radio Show # 213 - March 13, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Maximizing Your Time in the Walt Disney World Theme Parks Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #213 for the week of March 13, 2011. Although I talk, usually at length, about taking time to slow down and appreciate all of Walt Disney World’s details, stories and overlooked experiences, I also understand that for many individuals and families, they have limited time to enjoy all of the shows and attractions in the parks. And although we all tour differently, it’s about maximizing your time and getting the most out of your vacation experience. This week, we’ll look at some tips to do just that, including how using an online resource at home and in the parks can help you save time and money on your next visit. I’ll have some announcements and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

WDW Radio Show # 208 - February 6, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Disney's Wilderness Lodge - History, Stories and Details Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #208 for the week of February 6, 2011. When we talk about Walt Disney World, although often unnoticed by many guests, “everything speaks,” which means that everything we see and experience has and tells a story. From the attractions to the surroundings, there is meaning and reason behind their creation, and that also holds true for the Disney resorts. One of the very best examples of themed Imagineering, and storytelling based in reality is at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. From the story of the design, inspiration and creation of the Lodge itself, to the stories that the entire property tells, this week, Jim Korkis and I visit the resort and share the history of the Lodge, tour the lobby which has its own tale to tell, and explore the story behind the story of the Pacific Northwest resort I’ll have a few announcements including details about upcoming Meets of the Month in Walt Disney World, and then play some of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

Midship Detective Agency game on the Disney Dream

Midship Detective Agency game on the Disney Dream One of the many technological innovations and surprises aboard the Disney Dream is something that may have been geared towards younger guests, but is being enjoyed by kids of all ages. The Midship Detective Agency game, located on Deck 5 near the atrium, combines interactive technology through Disney's "living" Enchanted Art throughout the ship, with a scavenger hunt and solving a mystery (well, actually two!) Mickey and his pals explain the mystery to you at a rolltop-desk kiosk, where you also pick up your card and casebook. From there, guests travel at their own pace and in any order around the ship, gathering clues, finding lost items, and weeding out suspects - all of which are Disney characters. Hold up your card to the artwork, and magic truly happens. The card is both a key as well as a tool, and part of the fun is using it to search through hidden areas of the paintings. Even if there's no clue to be found, waiting the artwork come to life with audio and video is unlike anything you've seen before. The Midship Detective Agency lets you and your family explore the Disney Dream, leading you to areas which you may not have visited otherwise. It's a fun way to spend some time together (or even alone) and playing at your own pace either on one day or over the entire voyage lets you enjoy it as you like.

Riding the AquaDuck on the Disney Dream Christening Cruise

Riding the AquaDuck on the Disney Dream Christening Cruise I had the opportunity to ride the AquaDuck (more than once!) on the Christening Voyage of the Disney Dream on January 19, 2011. I had read the releases, seen the concept art and computer-generated ride-throughs and thought I knew what to expect. I didn't! Disney has once again set the bar, exceeded expectations, and over-delivered on their promise of an attraction unlike any other! And while words can't describe the experience, neither can any video you might see, but I wanted to share part of my experience with you, as well as those of some friends who were on board with me - Chris Brogan (http://ChrisBrogan.com and http://Twitter.com/ChrisBrogan) and Andi S. from the Walt Disney World Moms Panel (http://DisneyWorldMoms.com and http://Twitter.com/wifeandmomuniv).

Wild Africa Trek at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Wild Africa Trek in Disney's Animal Kingdom The Wild Africa Trek is a unique wildlife experience into the deepest, most-remote reaches of Disney's Animal Kingdom. The three-hour, expert-led adventure immerses guests in the realms and wildlife thrills of far-off Africa -- without leaving Walt Disney World Resort. In small groups, guests on Wild Africa Trek enjoy an "up-close-and-personal" experience with African wildlife species that make their home in Pangani Forest as well as other areas of the park's Harambe Wildlife Reserve. Join host Lou Mongello as he takes you through a preview of this exciting new experience! As part of the adventure, guests clip onto a lifeline as they step to the very edge of a cliff to get amazingly close to the hippos and crocs waiting just below. Talk about cliff-hangers! Highlights of what's in store for guests on this add-on adventure: - Trekking with experienced guides through areas of Harambe Wildlife Reserve that aren't explored during regular Disney's Animal Kingdom experiences. - Navigating winding pathways through dense fern, bamboo and vine forests on a bushwalk that sets a course for adventure. - Clipping into a harness attached to a safety line, crossing a seemingly precarious rope bridge over the Safi River and cliff-hanging at the edge of gullies that are home to hippos and crocodiles. - After pausing at an overlook above the grasslands for breathtaking views, boarding customized open-air vehicles that course through the vastness of a magnificent savanna. Extended time is allotted for animal viewing with expert guides. - Unwinding from an unforgettable adventure at a private safari camp for viewing of wildebeest and giraffe, elephants and gazelles, eland and antelope. At this station elevated above the savanna, guests savor this panorama of wildlife and sample tastes of Africa as their adventure draws to a relaxing and satisfying close. Wild Africa Trek is offered several times daily at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Groups are kept small, consisting of no more than 12 trekkers per safari.

Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend 2011 Recap Roundtable Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #205 for the week of January 16, 2011. This past weekend, more than 54,000 athletes from around the world descended on Walt Disney World, as many do year after year, not for the attractions, shows or dare I say even the wonderful dining options, but to run. And run a lot. The Walt Disney World Marathon weekend encompassed a series of endurance events, in which individuals came out to fulfill personal goals, experience the parks like never before, and for many, to make a difference in not just their own lives, but the lives of others. So on this week's roundtable, we'll look at the Walt Disney World Marathon as well as some other endurance events, and possibly introduce you to the idea that it's not just for athletes, but for friends and entire families as well. Whether you visit to run, cheer, volunteer or for your favorite charity, it's one of the most amazing experiences any Disney enthusiast can enjoy. I’ll have a few announcements, and then play some of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

WDW Radio Show # 204 - January 9, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Live Restaurant Review of Todd English's BlueZoo Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #204 for the week of January 9, 2011. An important part of the Walt Disney World experience for me and many other people is enjoying the wide variety of dining options that are available. And while there are many tried and true favorites, there is also a large number of locations that are very much overlooked. This week, we explore what I believe is one of those restaurants. Located in the Walt Disney World Dolphin, Celebrity Chef Todd English’s BlueZoo offers fresh seafood in a spectacular setting where both the food and décor are works of art. We’ll do a live restaurant review of BlueZoo and let you share in our overall dining experience, as we also chat with our server, the General Manager, Sommelier, and Executive Chef. I’ll have a few announcements, and then play some of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #202 for the week of December 26, 2010.

In doing so, we are afforded the opportunity to share in and learn about the people and their culture through attractions, exhibits, their food and even direct communication with those that call these places home. But as we do so, sometimes we wonder just how much these pavilions actually reflect the regions upon which they are based. This week, we will explore one of these pavilions with guests who hail from the United Kingdom. We will wander the streets and tour the interiors of these buildings to look at how, how well, and why these landmarks and extraordinary details exist.

Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #188 for the week of September 19, 2010.

With the recent closing of Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D at Disney's Hollywood Studios for an unspecified update, it's a great time to take a look back at the relationship between Disney and the Muppets, including the story of how the Muppets came to Walt Disney World in a variety of ways. We'll tour the park and explore some of the secrets, stories and history of MuppetVision 3D, Muppet-based shows that are no longer here, the Disney-Henson marriage, as well as "The Muppets That Never Were," as Jim Korkis and I wander the Studios and discuss some of the proposed concepts that never made it both in and out of the parks.

Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #168 for the week of May 2, 2010. We'll take a look at some Walt Disney World news and a few rumors this week, including some old favorites getting ready to return to the parks, and Imagineers continue to test new ways to pass the time in the queue, this time at a classic attraction in the Magic Kindgom. I'll ask you to comment in the show notes and weigh in on some possible changes that may be coming. I often kid about how attractions and shows in Walt Disney World are just things to occupy our time in between meals, but the parks and resorts do offer a wide variety of wonderful dining options - and not all of them require you to make dining reservations in advance. In fact, some of Walt Disney World's best food can be found at the numerous counter service locations. So this week, we'll count down our Top Ten list of Walt Disney World Counter Service Restaurants. If you weren't hungry when you started listening, you just might be by the time you're through. And hopefully we'll introduce you to some options that you might not have considered before. I'll have a few announcements, and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #157 for the week of February 14, 2010. Happy Valentine's Day and thank you for tuning in once again. This week's Walt Disney World News is exciting and special, as something old is new again, and many new surprises are in store for the parks beginning later this year. What's different about this week's coverage is not only that it was recorded live from Walt Disney World, but it includes a roundtable panel with a number of Disney mom bloggers who were in town to cover the event. It's an interesting look at and discussion of what's to come.

Thank you for tuning in once again. Disney enthusiasts who enjoy the parks and films often look for other ways to continue the experiences as much and as often as possible. They look for ways to continue the stories beyond what they have already seen or heard. In some cases, they are fortunate enough to have the Characters and story lines go beyond the confines of the original, as in the case with what my guests this week have created. They are Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, bestselling authors of the Peter and the Starcatchers series of books, which recount the tales of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and Captain Hook in the days before the original novel and Disney animated film. I had a chance to sit down with them in Walt Disney World and get a close look inside the collaborative efforts these two creative talents brought together to chronicle the adventures of Peter Pan before he lost his shadow. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I wanted look at how and why you and your family might want to think about spending this traditional holiday in possibly an non-traditional place – Walt Disney World. We'll look at where you can spend your Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends, places to stay, and why now is a great time to visit the resort.

Thank you for tuning in once again. This week’s show looks at a unique Character Connection in Walt Disney World, as the individual in question may have been one found in Disney films, but was also one that started a cultural phenomenon, and was not really a character at all – but an historical American folk hero. Of course, he is Davy Crockett, and he and his trademark coonskin cap were popularized by Disney on TV in the mid-1950’s. He also has many connections to Walt Disney World as well, and this week I’m joined by one of the foremost experts on Davy Crockett and longtime Walt Disney World fan to explore his connections in and around the parks.

WDW Radio Show # 122 - June 7, 2009 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #122 for the week of June 7, 2009. Thank you for tuning in once again Much of the magic we enjoy about Walt Disney World is often subconscious, yet very important, including and especially the constant expectation and fulfillment of a place that is always neat, clean and incredibly manicured. But we as Guests never get to see what goes on after the parks have closed to really make that magic happen. Well this week, I’m going to try and help paint a picture of what goes on when the last Guest walks out of the gates, as I speak with managers of the horticultural and custodial cast. They explain just some of what goes on as the Magic Kingdom comes to new life overnight in the park. I just returned from Walt Disney World for some more research and to cover another Star Wars Weekends, but of course while there, a man’s gotta eat, right? So this week I’m going to try and experiment with something new, and a bit different. Join me on a literal roundtable, as a group of friends and I do a live, on-the-spot dining review of Mama Melrose’s at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We’ll talk about the menu, review the food, and chat with our server, who shares some of the backstory of the restaurant. It’s time to take a trip once again aboard my Walt Disney World Wayback Machine, as we’ll head back to the Magic Kingdom, but this time back in 1973, as we look at the graceful Plaza Swan Boats, which plied the waterways around Cinderella Castle. I’ll have another Walt Disney World trivia contest this week, but this time, it’s just a little bit different – with a different format and an all-new prize. Listen for more of your voicemails at the end of the show. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

One of the keys to any Walt Disney World vacation is planning ahead – and often times, that part of the fun as well. And planning can and should go beyond just where to stay, when to eat and how to maximize your time in the parks.

Chuck Lionberger joins me this week for some “Practical Planning in Every Way,” as we explore some strategies to help maximize your time, and number of characters in and out of the parks. Listener Josh sits in the not-so-hot seat this week as we play a round of Walt Disney World Fact or Fiction, where I’ll test his knowledge of some interesting Disney history and trivia.

WDW Radio Show # 115 - April 19, 2009 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Hello my friends and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #115 for the week of April 19, 2009. Thank you for tuning in again this week for some fun, family-friendly Disney magic. April showers may bring May flowers, and they also affect the vacations of Guests visiting Walt Disney World. And while many people look at the rain as something that will keep them stuck in their rooms, I look at it as a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the resorts and the parks, and maybe even a way to experience something that they never have before. This week, we’ll look at the Top Ten Things to Do In Walt Disney World When it Rains. I believe that each day, we are all motivated by our dreams, both big and small. For many people, dreaming to be a part of the magic that they enjoy today or even experienced and impacted them as a child fuels their passion. And for many people, that dream has or will come true. And for one of Disney’s most talented character artists, he believed in and followed his dream, and now he’s making magic for us as Guests. So I want to introduce you to Brian Blackmore, Character Artist for the Disney Design Group. He not only recounts his personal journey from childhood watching Uncle Walt, to working for the company he loves so much, to sharing advice and practical tips on how to possibly follow your own dream, and even work in a place that truly creates magic for others. I’ll have another Walt Disney World Trivia Contest this week, where I’ll test your knowledge of a classic Walt Disney World attraction… or two, before playing some of your voicemails at the end of the show. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show. You can email the show at [email protected] or call the voicemail TOLL FREE at 888-703-2171.

Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #108 for the week of March 1, 2009. News from Walt Disney World starts off this week’s show, as we talk about how you can check in online before you arrive at your Disney resort, fun sporting events taking place this month, and a great way to spend an evening at the Flower Power Concert Series as part of Epcot’s International Flower & Garden Festival. I am happy to be joined this week on a roundtable discussion by some of the greatest moms around, for they are some of the members of the 2009 Disney Moms Panel. This group of real-world moms (and a dad) offer advice to Guests traveling to Walt Disney World through an interactive Q&A site at DisneyWorldMoms.com. The moms join me to talk about the experience, some tips, some interesting questions they’ve received and lots more. It’s a fun conversation with some people who share our passion and get to help others with their questions. I talk all the time about how Disney World is for everyone and how accommodating they are to so many people. What many don’t realize is that Disney also helps to recognize and help those people who serve the United States through military and uniformed service. Through a variety of programs, offerings and daily ceremonies, Disney makes it easy and affordable for military families to enjoy all that Walt Disney World has to offer. Staff Sergeant Mitch Brannen joins me to talk about the military’s private resort on property, discounts and benefits for the military and their families, as well as an often-overlooked, yet wonderful daily ceremony in the parks that every Guest should enjoy. I’ll announce the winner of last week’s Walt Disney World trivia contest and give you the answer to the questions, and give you another opportunity this week to test your knowledge for a chance to win a prize package. For some time now, I’ve been telling you that I’ve been working on a number of things for the show and site, and it’s time for me to let you in on what’s been going on backstage at WDW Radio, and what’s coming in the future. And just when you think I’ve told you everything, I’ve saved one of the biggest and special surprises for last.

We’ll kick off this week’s show with some news from Walt Disney World, before climbing aboard my Wayback Machine for another trip back in time and to the future, as we take a look at “The World Showcase That Never Was.” Ryan Wilson joins me to explore some pavilions in World Showcase that were closer to being built than you might think, other concepts that never made it off the drawing board, and even some additions to current pavilions that we never got to see. We’ll take a look at what might have been, and also peek ahead, and discuss what may be coming to the promenade in the future. At the end, I’ll ask you for your opinion on the future of World Showcase. I’ll open up the Inbox once again and answer many more of your emails this week with the help of Beci Mahnken.

It’s time for another Top 10 segment, and Tim Foster joins me once again as we take a look at our list of top ten things in Walt Disney World that are better at night. Experiencing the parks and resorts at night is completely different than during the day, and we’ll look at some things that you might just enjoy even more after the sun goes down. I often try to bring you some unique interviews with individuals whose names or faces you might not know, but whose work you might often enjoy and appreciate. This week, I welcome in just such a guest. He is Ronald Cohee, feature animator, artist, and currently a member of the Disney Design Group in Walt Disney World. A longtime park enthusiast, he shares his story of how he came to work for Disney, films and projects he’s worked on, insight into what his experience has been like, advice for others looking to join the Company, and even some hints as to a few things that may be coming next. I’ll answer more of your emails this week including questions about Millennium Village, Dive Quest, refillable mugs, and of course questions about food that cover opposite ends of the dining spectrum including dieting in Walt Disney World to where to find some special ice cream. Last week’s Walt Disney World trivia contest winner will be announced before I give you yet another set of questions and prizes in this week’s new contest.

WDW Radio Show # 103 - January 25, 2009 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #103 for the week of January 25, 2009. I’ll start off this week with some news from Walt Disney World, including some information about new interactive experiences coming to the parks, as well as the upcoming Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. Walt Disney World is a place where anyone and everyone can feel like a kid again, make their dreams come true, and enjoy all of what makes it so truly magical. And when I say everyone, I mean just that, as Disney is one of the best, most accommodating vacation spots for people with special needs. In this week’s very special roundtable, I’m joined by a number of guests, some of whom are authors of books about traveling to and touring around Walt Disney World with special needs, while others have unique needs of their own. And if you think that this segment might not apply to you or someone you know, you might be very surprised about what you’ll hear. My next interview is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. In response to a number of questions I received about this very topic, I’m going to talk about Walt Disney World, and its connection to the breakup of the Beatles. You might not know about how the two are linked, but I’m joined by May Pang, companion to John Lennon, who will talk about what took place at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, as well as John’s visits to Walt Disney World with his son. It’s an interesting look back at some of the private times of a celebrity in Walt Disney World, and the historic event that took place there. I’ll announce the winner of last week’s Walt Disney World trivia contest, and will challenge you once again this week with yet another contest! I’ll have some announcements and then play back some of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #99 for the week of December 28, 2008 - The last show of 2008, and the last show in double digits. Thanks for joining me again this week. I’ll start off the show with Walt Disney World News, and kick it off with a sneak peek at Disney’s new web site, a new store that just opened in the Magic Kingdom, of course some news about food, including a new dining location coming to Frontierland as well as important updates to dining reservations, and more. January 8-11, 2009 marks the 26th annual Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, where 40,000 runners will test their endurance during a number of races throughout the weekend, including a half and full marathon. But in addition to the athletes, there is expected to be an additional 40,000 people converging on the Walt Disney World Resort to cheer on family, friends, and even complete strangers. And while I’ve done shows on training and preparing for the marathon, as well as a recap from a participant’s perspective, there has been little in the way of tips and strategies for spectators. This week, I’m joined by running and cheering veteran Bill Muldowney to discuss the best ways to get the most out of the experience if you will be going down to cheer, including the best ways to get around, where you should be and when, and how to be sure you not only see your runners, but they get to see you as well. In a new Best of the Best segment, we’ll take a look at the Best Affordable Souvenir, and arguably the most Affordable Collectible in Walt Disney World. Disney dad Chuck Lionberger joins me to talk about searching for and collecting Pressed Pennies in and out of the parks. It’s an inexpensive, fun thing to do with everyone in the family, and we’ll give you different ways to find, collect, display and enjoy these wonderful little souvenirs. I’ll announce the winner of last week’s trivia contest, and I’ll have another contest that looks back at 2008 for you, where you can play to win another prize package. I’ll play some more of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

Some time ago, I began a segment on the show called the 7 Wonders of Walt Disney World. Inspired by the 7 wonders of the modern world, we looked at things in Walt Disney World that were so amazing, impressive or important, that they rose to the level of a true wonder. After getting through 6, we saved the best for last.

WDW Radio Show # 93 - November 16, 2008 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #93 for the week of November 16, 2008. In the Walt Disney World News this week, we’ll look at Disney’s latest technological initiative, which will keep Guests connected and informed in amazing new ways starting next year. I’ll also tell you where and when you can go meet Santa, and the reopening of new, old shops in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I just returned from Walt Disney World, and brought back some audio segments that I think you’ll enjoy. First, I had a chance to visit and have a personal tour of the new Nine Dragons restaurant in China in Epcot’s World Showcase. Having recently opened after a long refurbishment, we discuss the changes to the restaurant’s décor and menu, as well as explore its cultural heritage and beautiful, rich symbolism located throughout. I also had a wonderful opportunity to sit and chat with a man whose work for the Walt Disney Company I have admired for some time, and whose new book afforded me an even greater appreciation of not just the man, but the lessons he is now sharing with others. Lee Cockerell, former Executive Vice President of Operations at the Walt Disney World Resort talk with me in the park about his background, work with and for the Company, and his new book, "Creating Magic: 10 Common Sense Leadership Strategies From a Life at Disney." It’s a fascinating look at the work, and more importantly the people backstage that make the magic for us as Guests. Mr. Cockerell offers practical, real-world advice, coupled with wonderful stories from his tenure at Disney that people can use in their everyday life. I’ll announce the winner of last week’s Carousel of Progress contest, and give you the question for this week’s contest, where I’ll be giving away 5 prizes instead of just one! I’ll give you a hint at what’s to come in future shows, before playing your voicemails, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

In our next segment, I’ll fire up the old Wayback Machine and take us back to a time before Walt Disney World had even opened. And joining me on my trek through the Florida swamps is fellow Disney geek Craig Wheeler, as he and I take a close look at a Walt Disney World we never knew by exploring the Lost Resorts of the Magic Kingdom. It’s a fun look back at what was supposed to be and might have been, with a little wondering and wishing as well. I’ll answer a few of your emails, announce an impromptu new contest and give you some updates before playing your voicemails at the end of the show this week, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

WDW Radio Show # 90 - October 26, 2008 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Hello and welcome once again to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #90 for the week of October 26, 2008. Timing is everything, and this week I have two segments for you that I chose just for that reason. With the upcoming Presidential election, I thought it would be a great opportunity to take a detailed look at the Magic Kingdom’s Hall of Presidents. It’s an attraction rich in history, unique in concept and is unfortunately often overlooked. Kristen Helmstetter, who wrote her Honors Thesis on this attraction, joins me to discuss its history, story, changes and importance. In my next segment, we’ll celebrate the Halloween season, along with one of our all-time favorite attractions, as Tim Foster and I take a fun look at the Top Ten Things We Love About the Haunted Mansion. With so much to enjoy and appreciate about this timeless classic, Top 10 might be a bit of a misnomer on this one. I’ll have more updates at the end of the show, as well as some of your voicemails, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

Hello and welcome once again to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #89 for the week of October 19, 2008. I just returned from Walt Disney World, where I was covering a number of special events for the show. I was able to attend and bring you audio from the opening of the new Cast Member Wellness Center and speak with Walt Disney World President Meg Crofton and worldwide parks operations president Al Weiss, as well as the 2009 Walt Disney World Ambassador ceremony and meet the two new Ambassadors. I also attended a sneak peek of the new T-Rex Café in Downtown Disney, and will bring you a little something different from that event this week. I’ll have more News and a quick visit to the Walt Disney World Rumor Mill. I’ll introduce a new segment this week called “How to Be an Imagineer,” in response to the question I’ve received quite often over the past few years. Disney Imagineer Ed Romeo joins me to talk about his story and journey to become an Imagineer, as well as what working at and for Imagineering was like. This interview will be the first of hopefully many that will help prove to you that the road to becoming an Imagineer might not necessarily be the path you think. I’ll have more updates at the end of the show, just sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

Hello everybody and welcome once again to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #88 for the week of October 12, 2008. We’re going to start off this week with our tribute to the Adventurer’s Club. And rather than just a look at what it was, its rooms and shows, we’re going to explore the Club like never before, because if you think you knew everything there was to know about the Adventurer’s Club, you might be a bit surprised. Joining me this week is world-renowned Disney historian and author Jim Korkis, who is going to share his exhaustive research into the history and details of the Club, and the stories behind the stories. We’ll go way back and examine it from the very beginning, from concept, to drawing board changes, its creators, design and so much more. Moving from one party to another, we’ll next head on over to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, as George Taylor and I tell you all about this special event, what you can do while you’re there, tips to get the most out of the party, and why we think this is one of Walt Disney World’s best events.

Hello everybody and welcome once again to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #86 for the week of September 28, 2008. I’m back from a busy week in Walt Disney World with a full recap of the week’s events, including News and details about what is coming for 2009, including the Celebration Vacations, changes and new additions to the Wide World of Sports Complex, and a new experience in Fantasyland with Tinker Bell and her fairy friends. I’ll talk to some executives with Disney to discuss just what’s coming next. I’ll talk about my trip with a number of other friends and listeners to the show, as we recorded our recap of the week live from Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. We’ll talk about everything from our experience at the newly reopened Nine Dragons restaurant in World Showcase, dinner at the Wave at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, the last nights of the Adventurer’s Club, and if we didn’t talk about food enough, I’ll play our live reviews from the promenade as we review samples from each Wonderland kiosk at Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival. It’s a first-hand, on-the-spot review of many of the culinary delights being offered at the Festival from now through November 9, 2008. We’ll also talk about other events throughout the week, and the Inaugural Expedition Everest Challenge 5K race that took place this past Saturday. Many of us faced the Yeti and lived to tell about it, so here’s our recap of the race and party. I also have an exclusive interview with Steve Schussler, the creator of the Rainforest Café, Yak & Yeti and Downtown Disney’s newest dining experience, the T-Rex Café. He joins me to talk about his incredible personal journey, and the creation of some of Walt Disney World’s most unique restaurants.

Hello and welcome once again to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #84 for the week of September 14, 2008. I’ll kick off this week’s show with some news and rumors from Walt Disney World, and then I’ll take you on a brief trip back to Walt Disney World with me, as I look at some highlights from my recent trip. Not a day by day trip report per se, but more looking at a few experiences I had that you might not have known even exist in and out of the parks. From there, I left the joys of a No Way Jose’ at Beaches and Cream and headed out onto the high seas for a special, 5-day cruise aboard the Disney Magic. In addition to a scheduled 2 days at Castaway Cay, this voyage was even more magical, as it was hosted by Deb Wills and Steve Barrett, and featured great events and one surprise after another. So I invited the hosts to join me this week to recap the cruise and talk about some of the magic on the Magic. And the time has finally come – we are down to the final 3 in the Adventureland Challenge Contest, and the finalists join me on the show this week to answer a series of questions so YOU can help decide who will be crowned the Ultimate Adventurer and win the Grand Prize of the 6 day, VIP vacation for 4 to Walt Disney World.

WDW Radio Show # 83 - September 7, 2008 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #83 for the week of September 7, 2008. I literally just stepped off the Disney Magic, so I apologize for not having any news or rumors again this week, but I will give you a few updates I picked up while in Walt Disney World. As if the first weekend of the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, the inaugural Expedition Everest Challenge, the final Hoopla at the Adventurer’s Club, and just the fact that it’s Walt Disney World isn’t enough to get you down to the parks during the weekend of September 26-28, then my first segment just might be the extra little push you need. Adam Roth, the “boy wonder” behind the Celebrations 25 event, joins me to talk about World Wide Weekend, the weekend-long, signature event that includes backstage tours, group rides, a chance to meet fellow Disney fans and so much more. I’ll be attending as well, and we’ll tell you all about the events, and how you can participate. Since “Top Ten with Tim” sounds better than Top Ten with Samantha, Tim Foster joins me again this week for another Top 10 segment. This week, we look at the Top 10 (or 30) Places to Get Away From It All in Walt Disney World. It’s some of our favorite out of the way places, little hideaways and diversions in and out of the parks. And finally this week, I’ll announce the names of the 3 contestants that will be moving on to the Final Round of the Adventureland Challenge Contest. Your votes have been cast and tallied, and we are one step closer to crowning the Ultimate Adventurer and the winner of the Grand Prize – the 6 day, VIP vacation for 4 to Walt Disney World. I’ll once again end the show with more of your voicemails, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

WDW Radio Show # 82 - August 31, 2008 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #82 for the week of August 31, 2008 . I’m producing the show early this week, so there won’t be any news or rumors, but I do something for you that I think you’ll enjoy. Jim Henson’s MuppetVision 3D is a landmark attraction in Walt Disney World not just for it’s groundbreaking technology, classic characters, and truly hysterical show script. It’s an attraction that begins outside the show itself and carries over into arguably one of the very best queues anywhere in the Disney parks. But beyond that, it represents the work of its creator Jim Henson, and serves as a reminder of the relatively recent marriage between the Disney and Henson companies – and a deal whose negotiations began more than a decade ago. This week, I am pleased to welcome Jim Lewis and Craig Shemin, former staff writers for the Jim Henson Company, who were instrumental in the concept, design and creation of MuppetVision 3D. We’ll discuss the creation of the attraction and so many of its priceless jokes and gags, as well as the Muppet attractions that never came to be, working with Jim Henson, and the future of the Disney and the Muppets. It’s a fun chat with two of the people that knew Jim Henson well, and today continue to preserve his legacy. I’ll end the show with a few of your voicemails, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

This is show #81 for the week of August 24, 2008, and as always I am your host, Lou Mongello We’ll start off with some news from Walt Disney World, including a new, interactive experience for Guests, and in the Walt Disney World Rumor Mill, we’ll take a look another add-on, outside-the-park adventure experience that may or may not be coming in the future. One of my favorite segments on the show are the DSI: Disney Scene Investigations, and this week, we take a look at one of my favorite attractions – Peter Pan’s Flight. We’ll look at the history of the attraction, its roots and connection to Disneyland, examine it scene-by-scene, and explore why it remains such a timeless classic. There are so many reasons to go to Walt Disney World – family vacation with the kids, honeymooning with your new spouse, the big family reunion, or even the occasional solo research trip. But what about just a bunch of the guys getting together and going away? And instead of places like Myrtle Beach or Las Vegas, what about going to Walt Disney World? Steve “Tikiman” Seifert joins me to talk about going away on a “Mancation” to Walt Disney World, the many things to do outside the parks, and how to get the most out of the experience.

Welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #80 for the week of August 17, 2008. This week’s show is very special, as I will be devoting an entire episode to a single segment, and more importantly, a single man. He is Richard M. Sherman. You know him as one of the Sherman Brothers, the most successful songwriting team in history, and the name that defines the music and mood of so many Disney feature films and theme park attractions. Mr. Sherman joins me in this one-to-one interview about his career beginnings, time at the Disney Studios, working for and with Walt Disney, and the stories behind the stories of working on timeless classics like Mary Poppins and legendary songs such as “it’s a small world” and hundreds of others. I’ll end the show not with announcements or voicemails, but instead, with my small tribute to the work of the Sherman Brothers in thanks for Mr. Sherman joining me on the show, and for a lifetime of memories he helped create.

WDW Radio Show # 78 - August 3, 2008 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Welcome to the WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am Lou Mongello happy to back with you again this week, and this is show #78 for the week of August 3, 2008. In this week's breaking Walt Disney World News, I'll have information about a new dining package coming in 2009, as well as some changes to ticket pricing. I'll update you on the new Kidani Village at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge and some other changes around the resorts. In the parks, I'll tell you how and when you can audition for a new attraction in Walt Disney World, and in the Rumor Mill, I'll give you a hint at what movie is being rumored for a new attraction in the parks. Disney's Year of a Million Dreams has always extended far beyond the handing out of physical prizes in the parks, truly embracing its namesake. In fact, it has really always been about making dreams come true for people, and often times, dreams they may never have known they even had. Whether it is giving a family a night in a Castle, or crowning one man Chief Magic Official, it gives people opportunities never before available. And for 12 lucky, talented people who love Walt Disney World, their dreams came true as well, when they were selected to the Disney World Mom's Panel, an online forum where Guests could ask the experts and gain insights about planning their Walt Disney World vacation. This week, I want to welcome 7 of those members to the show, as we discuss not just the panel and how and why they were selected, but to learn more about them, the panel and what they are doing to help. I'll have more at the end of the show, including many more of your voicemails, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

Welcome to the WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. As always, I am your host Lou Mongello, and this is show #77 for the week of July 27, 2008. We'll start off with some Walt Disney World News and Rumors this week, including changes across the resort to the reservations system, resorts, restaurants, hauntings and holidays. We'll also look at some possible new Disney destinations, high-tech touring, and much more. I talk about trying to bring you a little bit of Disney Magic to you each week, but last week, Disney Magic went to Camp Hill, PA in the form of MagicMeets, a yearly gathering of Disney fans from around the nation. Now celebrating its 5th year, I thought it would be fun to recap the weekend's events not just for those listeners that attended, but for those of you that may not know what MagicMeets is, and maybe in the process, help show you why you might want to mark next year's event on your calendar. I am joined by the event's founder, Fred Block, as well as Pat Whitson (Dream Team Auction coordinator), guest and videographer Jamie Curci, and listener and attendee Dave Recchione, in a fun look at the event, and some of the real magic that was created thanks to the incredible efforts and generosity of so many people, and how the community's efforts will go a long way towards helping children that need the magic most. I'll have a few brief announcements and play more of your voicemails at the end of this week's show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

Justin Muchoney, Disney's first Chief Magic Official, joins me once again this week to update us on what life has been like as CMO, what he's been doing, and just a bit of the magic he's been making. And he'll even give us a hint of what's next for him.

WDW Radio Show # 72 - June 22, 2008 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Welcome to the WDW Radio Show - your Walt Disney World Information Station. Thank you for tuning in once again. This is show #72 for the week of June 22, 2008. I am your host Lou Mongello, and I am admittedly VERY excited about this week's show I won't have any news or rumors this week, but will have an announcement before getting to my first guest. And part of the reason why I'm so excited about this week's show is because of whom my first guest is. Disney Channel fans may remember a series from the mid-90's called Walt Disney World Inside Out, which took you literally behind the scenes of the parks every week. This week, I am joined by the one of the hosts of what was probably my favorite show on television, JD Roth. We'll talk not only about his career and experiences on the show, but what he's been doing ever since. You may now know that he is one of Hollywood's hottest producers, with not only many popular reality and game shows to his credit, but he's also going to be the host of a new show coming to ABC later this year unlike any other that's been done in the past. And best of all, he'll tell you how you and your family can be a part of it! And you don't have to go to Hollywood – JD and the show will come to you! Continuing in my 7 Wonders of Walt Disney World series, where we explore some of the things that truly make Walt Disney World such a magical place, this week we'll take a detailed look back at the overwhelming choice of almost everyone who cast a vote. We'll explore the history, story and technological marvels that make Spaceship Earth more than just an icon for a theme park. It's a classic attraction that gives us all a sense of our collective past, and acts as a symbol of our hopes for the future. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show. . You can email the show at [email protected] or call the voicemail at 206-202-4WDW (4939).

WDW Radio Show # 71 - June 15, 2008 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Welcome to the WDW Radio Show - your Walt Disney World Information Station. Thank you for tuning in once again. This is show #71 for the week of June 15, 2008. I am your host Lou Mongello, and I am back from covering Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios In this week's Walt Disney World News, I'll respond to your inquiries about Disney's baggage policies when you check in for your flight at your resort, pin events, what's coming to the Wide World of Sports, and how you can watch full length Disney movies for free. In the Walt Disney World Rumor Mill, we'll talk about what's coming to Toy Story Mania, and why next year may be the last for some very popular merchandise. I'll recap my visit to the first Star Wars Weekends events at Disney's Hollywood Studios with Glenn Whelan, as we look back at our experiences, talk to other Guests in attendance, and think about what the future of the event might hold. We talk about the Disney magic that we all know, believe in and appreciate, as it's really what brings us back time and time again to Walt Disney World. But what you might not know is that there are many sides to the magic that is created, and quite often, we neither see nor hear about it. I'm not talking about the magic created inside the resort, but what Disney does to bring that magic to those that really need it in a variety of ways. As giving back to the community has always been important to me, I wanted to let you hear about some of the amazing efforts that so many members of the Walt Disney World cast take part in throughout the year. So I want to share with you my interview Eugene Campbell, who is Disney's Vice President of Community Affairs about what they do to help people close to home. Beci Mankhen from MouseFan Travel joins me once again to answer more of your emails, and I'll play more of your voicemails at the end of the show. Stay tuned after the email section, as I'll give you a chance to sample my Audio Guide to Walt Disney World, and have a couple of announcements. So as always, please sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.. You can email the show at [email protected] or call the voicemail at 206-202-4WDW (4939).

Listener Tony Mendyk gets in the hot seat for another round of "Walt Disney World – Fact or Fiction?" He'll answer some trivia questions in a fun game where there are no prizes to be won, but just a fun way to talk about some trivia and history. I'll answer some more of your vacation planning emails this week along with the help of Beci Mankhen, owner of MouseFanTravel, including questions on specialty cruises, dinner shows, traveling with a large group, backstage tours, and more.

Speaking of Star Tours, Star Wars Weekends begins on June 6 and runs through the month, so I wanted to discuss the events, the different elements that make up each weekend, and how to get the most out of them, whether you are a Star Wars superfan or not. So I brought in George "Darth Sidious" Taylor and Glenn "Grand Moff Tarkin" Whelan to pull up a chair in the Cantina and join me in a roundtable discussion about the weekends. Steve Barrett and I trek through Conservation Station and Rafiki's Planet Watch hunting Hidden Mickeys, including the elusive one that can be found on a live animal as well.

With Star Wars Weekends rapidly approaching, and some rumors about this attraction resurfacing once again, there is no better time for Jeff and I to don our Jedi robes and do a DSI: Disney Scene Investigation of Star Tours at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We'll explore the history of the attraction, the story behind it, a exceptionally geeky look at the queue, the shop and what the future may hold. You don't need to be a Star Wars fan to enjoy the attraction or this segment… but it might just make them a little more fun. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to meet and chat with TC Newman, one of the two Walt Disney World Ambassadors about her role, what a day in her life is like, her duties and responsibilities, and so much more. It’s a look into one of the most highly-coveted roles in the grand Walt Disney World cast.

I will first take a look at the event and attraction with Glenn Whelan, as we discuss everything from the new Pixar Studios area of the park, to the incredibly detailed queue and interactive ride experience.

WDW Radio Show # 66 - May 11, 2008 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Welcome to the WDW Radio Show - your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host Lou Mongello, and I want to thank you for tuning in again this week. This is show #66 for the week of May 11, 2008. First things first – Happy Mother's Day to all moms and mothers to be. Now on to the show… There's no news this week, as I produced the show early in anticipation of my Walt Disney World trip, but I have a number of segments I think you'll enjoy. This week, I wanted to address a question that many of you have sent to me via email and voicemail, which involves staying off Disney property and renting a vacation home. Steve Trover, CEO of All Star Vacation Homes joins me to answer many of your frequently asked questions, as well as looks at the pros and cons of renting a vacation home, who is might be right for and who it’s not, addresses some possible concerns, and talks about the process. It's a great primer on renting a vacation home, and you just might be surprised as to some of the reasons why it might be a viable option for you and your family. One of the most important aspects of what I do is that of giving back to others with the help of so many people through my Dream Team Project. Of course, I'm certainly not the only one, and as I’ve done in the past, this week I want to profile someone who is truly making magic, and a very big difference, in the lives of children and families that need it most. He is Bert Weiss, a radio personality at Q100 in Atlanta and founder of Bert's Big Adventure, an all expense paid trip to Walt Disney World for families that have children with life-threatening illnesses. It is an inspirational story that once again demonstrates the incredible generosity and dedication of people in the community as a whole. I also welcome back Jeff Pepper to join me in exploring not just a hidden treasure and character connection, but a fun place to grab a hot dog and a Coke, ride the bleachers and catch a few toons. So we’ll take you out to the ballgame at Casey’s Corner on Main Street, USA. So to all you moms out there, sit back, relax and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

WDW Radio Show # 65 - May 4, 2008 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Hello and welcome to the WDW Radio Show - your Walt Disney World Information Station. This is show #65 for the week of May 4, 2008. I am your host Lou Mongello, and I want to thank you for tuning in again this week. We'll begin this week as always with our look at the Walt Disney World News, where I talk about a number of news items, including the opening of Toy Story Mania, a welcome change for DVC members, and a number of special events going on in WDW, and one outside the parks where you might get a chance to peek behind the curtain of Imagineering and learn just how they create some of the Disney magic. Disney last week revealed the winner of the first-ever Chief Magic Official contest, and Justin Muchoney from Seven Fields, PA was named the winner out of more than 1300 applicants. Justin joins me, fresh off of the announcement to discuss the application process, rounds of judging, winning the contest, and what the future holds in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There is never a bad time to visit Walt Disney World, but many Guests, whether it be their first or fiftieth time visiting the Resort, have to decide when is the right time of year to go for them. Often, the question of going on or off-season comes up, as there are both benefits and concerns about traveling to Walt Disney World during both the busy season and less crowded times of year. So to discuss the factors to take into consideration, as well as some of the pros and cons of each, I welcome back Jeff Pepper and George Taylor, fans and family men, to have a roundtable discussion about just that topic. I'll answer a few more of your emails before playing some of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

Welcome to the WDW Radio Show - your Walt Disney World Information Station. This is show #59 for the week of March 23, 2008. As always I am your host Lou Mongello, and thanks for taking time to tune in again this week. I will begin this week with News coming out of Walt Disney World which includes information about some new Mickey ears that you can customize and design yourself, the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival, as well as news from the Studios and resorts. In the Walt Disney World Rumor Mill, I’ll talk about cars in the Magic Kingdom – and I’m talking about the attraction and not the movie, a new character you just might see walking (or rolling) around Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as well as some of the cast of characters that you might just see walking around during Star Wars Weekends this summer. Steve Barrett, author of the Hidden Mickeys series of books will join me this week as we start a new series of themed Hidden Mickey hunts, and we’ll begin under the sea (literally) at the Seas pavilion in Epcot. Listener Sarah Kelleth and I will take a look at yet another one of Walt Disney World’s Hidden Treasures and simple pleasures, as we one of the most unique dining experiences in all of Walt Disney World – afternoon tea at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa’s Garden View Tea Room. I’m way behind in answering your listener email, so I’ll respond to some of your questions, which include topics such as making reservations for 2009, Grand Gatherings, the clubs of Pleasure Island, DeVine, the Tiki Room and more. So sit back, relax and enjoy this week’s episode of the WDW Radio Show. You can email the show at [email protected] or call the voicemail at 206-202-4WDW (4939). Visit the web site at wdwradio.com.

I am your host Lou Mongello, and I want to thank you for tuning in again this week I just returned from Disneyland in California, and wanted to not just take a look back at my trip, but wanted it to be informative and interesting for the listener. I was pleasantly surprised at just how much I enjoyed my experience at the parks, and realized that there was so much to discuss and introduce people to, that I invited in my friends, travel companions and frequent WDW Radio Show guests Jeff Pepper, George Taylor and Eric Hollister in for a roundtable discussion simply entitled: Why Every Walt Disney World Fan Needs to Visit Disneyland. Because of the length of the segment, I'll save the WDW News and Rumor Mill for next week, as well as your emails, so sit back, relax and enjoy this week’s episode of the WDW Radio Show.

WDW Radio Show # 57 - March 9, 2008 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Welcome to the WDW Radio Show - your Walt Disney World Information Station. This is show #57 for the week of March 9, 2008. I am your host Lou Mongello, and I want to thank you for tuning in again this week. To all of my new listeners, I want to welcome you to the show as well. I think you’ll find it a positive, fun, feel-good look at Walt Disney World that will inform, educate and entertain you. This weekend, I’m heading to Disneyland in California to compare and contrast the two parks… OK, so I’m going to Disneyland to enjoy the parks for a few days, so unfortunately this week, I’m once again recording early and won’t have the ability to cover news and rumors due to when I’m recording. Of course, I’ll be back next week with all of the WDW news and visit to the Rumor Mill. Next month, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary, and following the success of Celebration 25, Adam Roth and his team have put together WDWCelebrations.com and have organized “A Wild Decade,” a gathering to commemorate this occasion. I’m joined by Adam and another member of the team, Jason Diffendal, to discuss the event and how you can get involved. Tim Forster, from Guide to the Magic, is back for another Top 10 with Tim, as we reveal our individual top 10 snacks to enjoy in World Showcase. Any discussion of food in Walt Disney World is fun, and in the process, we hope to introduce you to some snacks that you just may have overlooked, or never thought to try. It’s a fat-free trip around the promenade, guaranteed to leave you hungry at the end. I often get questions about some recommended reading and books that I enjoy about Walt Disney World, Disney history, etc., so this week, I bring in another guest, George Taylor from the Imaginerding blog to examine and discuss the 5 books that every Disney geek needs in their library. I won’t have time to answer any of your emails this week, but listen for some voicemails at the end of the show, so as always, please sit back, relax and enjoy this week’s episode of the WDW Radio Show. You can email the show at [email protected] or call the voicemail at 206-202-4WDW (4939). Visit the web site at wdwradio.com.

Welcome to the WDW Radio Show - your Walt Disney World Information Station. This is Show #55 for the week of February 24, 2008. This week, I once again have to record and produce the show early, so it may be a little shorter and a little different than usual. I’ll start off as always with some Walt Disney World News, where I’ll discuss an exciting new promotion for Annual Passholders. In my trip aboard the Walt Disney World Wayback Machine, I’m going to grab my swimming trunks, pick up Jeff Pepper, and head on over to the Ole Swimmin’ Hole at River Country, Walt Disney World first water park, and a place that conjures up great memories of water slides, sand beaches, picnics and some great times spent with family. Now closed, it’s a fun look back at the history, attractions and demise of this very unique destination.

WDW Radio Show # 54 - February 17, 2008 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Welcome to the WDW Radio Show - your Walt Disney World Information Station. This is Show #54 for the week of February 17, 2008. In this week’s Walt Disney World News, I’ll look at a dining change in World Showcase, updates on the Backlot Theater in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, new special events coming to Pleasure Island, and a very special event that is the first of its kind at Walt Disney World that will offer a truly unique experience in many ways. For the next in my Legends of Disney Imagineering interview series, I thought that with the recent name change of the Disney-MGM Studios to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and new direction it is taking in its entertainment offerings, I wanted to have someone come on the show who could speak authoritatively as to the genesis and growth of the park. So I decided that who better to come on the show and talk about this than the man who literally put pen to paper and designed the original concept drawing for the Disney-MGM Studios. He is former Walt Disney Imagineering designer; artist; show creator and so much more, Tim Kirk. He will join me to discuss the history of the Studios, his work on helping form not only the original concept for the park, but his work on some of its premier attractions such as the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, The Great Movie Ride, MuppetVision 3D, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, and countless others. It is a unique, first-hand look at the creation of the theme park and its signature attractions. I’ll also have time to answer some more of your emails this week, so sit back, relax and enjoy this week’s episode of the WDW Radio Show.

WDW Radio Show # 53 - February 10, 2008 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Welcome to the WDW Radio Show - your Walt Disney World Information Station. This is Show #53 for the week of February 10, 2008. I’m your host Lou Mongello, and I want to thank you for tuning in again this week we celebrate the one-year anniversary of the WDW Radio Show. Although I’ve been podcasting since 2005, this past week marked the first anniversary of this show, and I want to take a moment to thank all of you for your support and for listening over the past year. It’s been an incredible, amazing journey, and I believe that things will only continue to get bigger and better. In fact, I have to tell you that I am more excited about this week’s show than I may have ever been, in large part due to my very special guest. Joining me this week in an exclusive interview is Samantha Brown, host of a number of popular series on the Travel Channel, including a number of specials all about Walt Disney World. She has explored some of the finest resorts on property, as well as the incredible experiences that Guests can enjoy during one of the most magical of seasons. My conversation with Samantha will talk about her work on the Disney park and resorts specials, including the most recent Holidays at Walt Disney World, and she reveals what’s next for her and the Travel Channel as she continues to entertain us with her travels to and exploration of the Disney resorts. Being a long time fan of her work, this interview was not only fun and exciting to do, but one that I think you’re really going to enjoy. In this week’s Walt Disney World News, we’ll cover some of the latest news, including announcing the Star Wars weekend dates for 2008, and I reveal the new live, interactive and high-energy attraction that’s coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Let’s just say that if you ever wanted to be a star and were looking for your big break, here’s your chance! The Walt Disney World Rumor Mill for this week has a number of big stories, including an Epcot pavilion possibly losing a sponsor, a rumored new attraction based on a Disney film that just might surprise you, and a very big, semi-confirmed rumor about not just demolition, but more importantly new construction at one of Walt Disney World’s resorts. This one could be big, so stay tuned. With the recent re-opening of the attraction, I’ll also have a full review of the updated Playhouse Disney – Live on Stage show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, courtesy of a listener. Speaking of new things coming to Walt Disney World, I’ll also speak with another listener who gives a first-hand, detailed review of Disney’s Magical Connection, the handheld device currently being tested in the Magic Kingdom. You can learn not only about what the device does and how it works, but hear from a Guest just what they think of the device and technology. And as part of this anniversary show, I will also announce the new project I’ve been working on and alluding to for some time now. It’s going to be released soon, and I wanted to give you the first glimpse at what I have planned. It’s something I’m really excited about, and hope that you’ll enjoy. I won't have time for your emails this week, but as always, stay tuned for the end of the show, where I play a number of your voicemails.

Welcome to the WDW Radio Show, your Walt Disney World Information Station. Thank you for tuning in once again. This is Show #43 for the week of December 2, 2007. News from Walt Disney World this week includes stories on two new quick service dining locations in World Showcase, new developments about the Western Way shopping and hotel district and more. In the Walt Disney World Rumor Mill, I have some listener-submitted rumors about the DVC, changes to one of Main Street, USA's original stores, Space Mountain, and are there big changes coming to a pavilion in World Showcase? In the next of my Legends of Disney Imagineering interview series, I have a chance to sit down and talk with a man who has not only worked on the recent updates to Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion, but wrote the definite books on those subjects. He is Jason Surrell, and his latest book is all about Imagineering at its Peak, as he covers all of the Disney Mountains. We talk about the book, Imagineering and the Imagineers, and Jason gives us the exclusive sneak peek on what major project he's working on next. Hang on to them hats and glasses, ‘cause this here's an interview that I'm sure you're going to enjoy. Walt Disney World is full of Hidden Treasures, and I love being able to introduce you to them on the show. While some may be small and relatively unknown, there are others that are hidden in plain sight. Disney's Boardwalk is just one of those, as it is filled with countless hidden treasures including shops, restaurants, entertainment and unique experiences. Listener Jamie Curci joins me to explore the promenade in detail and familiarize you with all that it has to offer. I talk about why we do what we do, and the efforts of my DisneyWorldTrivia.com Dream Team Project to give back to the community and help those who are less fortunate and in need of some true Disney Magic. This week, I'll announce another of our efforts, the 25 Days of Disney Giving, again thanks to a listener, where you can help the Make A Wish Foundation of America, and wind up with some great Disney memorabilia for yourself. And speaking of the Dream Team, we'll announce the winner of our Walt Disney World Half Marathon Challenge Contest, and Matt Hochberg joins Eric Hollister and myself to present the clues to our next challenge.

Welcome to the WDW Radio Show, your Walt Disney World Information Station. This is Show #38 for the week of October 28, 2007. We're going to have a lot of fun this week with some segments to help celebrate the Halloween season, all backed with some fun Disney sounds effects, audio clips and music. First, well, the news from Walt Disney World may not be spooky, but we'll talk about Disney's efforts to help the victims of the Southern California wildfires, the new look coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios, and more. And maybe our trip to the Walt Disney World Rumor Mill isn't all that scary, either, but there are some interesting developments to cover. Things get a little creepier as Tim Foster and I take a fun-filled look at the Top 10 Spookiest Moments in Walt Disney World. And then, just when you thought Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party wouldn't be scary, we look at a character connection to examine a man whose face is legendary - because it isn't there - The Headless Horseman. Jeff and I look at his role in a Disney animated film, and both the film’s and his many connections to the Walt Disney World resort. I'll answer some of your emails that for the most part have nothing to do with Halloween, and play some of your voicemails as always at the end of the show.
