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

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.

Join me this week as we board our Walt Disney World Wayback Machine and go way way back... before Walt Disney World. Together, we're going to look at how, when, and why Disney came to Florida, and how it almost wasn't Florida at all. We'll explore the many legends and locations of where the "second Disneyland" was going to be built, including New Jersey and Canada, and the real reasons why they never came to be. We'll then discuss the process of finding Florida, why Orlando might not have been their first choice, and the many factors that led to deciding exactly where the World would be built.

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 # 551 - Star Wars Celebration Recap: Galaxy’s Edge Updates, Episode IX, and The Mandalorian

Star Wars Celebration was held this past week in Chicago, and I was invited to cover the event that not just celebrates fandom, but what’s new and next in the parks and on the big and small screens. We will explore what we learned about Star Wars Episode IX, The Rise of Skywalker, the Mandalorian series coming to Disney+, as well as what we saw on the show floor and in the Galaxy’s Edge panel and booth including new details about the Play Disney Parks app, interactive experiences, dining options, and a galaxy of unique merchandise. No matter your level of Star Wars fandom (or midichlorian count), there’s something here for you… and to get (very) excited about.

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 # 548 - Polite Pig at Disney Springs LIVE Dining Review

As Disney Springs has evolved to become a necessary destination and attraction for your next Walt Disney World vacation, its dining options and offerings have grown as well. From casual to elegant, to quick and relaxing, there is now truly something for everyone. And one of the locations which quickly became a favorite for locals and visitors alike is The Polite Pig. This “casual plus” restaurant offers more than just some of the best barbecue you’ll find, but a surprising (and delicious) array of appetizers, sides, and a drink menu that’s so big, it takes up an entire side of the menu! This week, I invite you to join me for lunch at The Polite Pig in our live dining review… and don't forget… I wouldn’t listen if you’re hungry, because even if you’re not, you will be.

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.

WDW Radio # 541 - Interview with Brian Crosby, Creative Director of Marvel Themed Entertainment

I’m excited to be joined this week by my friend, and fellow Disney and Marvel geek Brian Crosby. Today, he is the Creative Director for Marvel Themed Entertainment, and he will share his story back from when he was a comic-loving kid with a dream, and how it led him to his roles as a Disney artist, helping to launch the Disney Kingdoms line of comic books, and the many projects he worked on at Walt Disney Imagineering. Brian will share how he came to work for Marvel, and his current role in the Marvel universe. We will also talk about some of the many projects he and others at Marvel are working on, such as stage shows, walk-through attractions, exhibits, at sea on the Disney Cruise Line, attractions in Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Hong Kong, as well as what the future holds for Marvel in the Disney theme parks around the world. Our nerd-fest continues as we also talk about some of the characters in the Marvel Universe and their future roles in the parks, including Spider-Man, The Avengers, Captain Marvel, and what the Fox acquisition might bring going forward.

WDW Radio # 540 - 2018 Disney Year in Review

They say that time flies when you’re having fun, and it must be true, because I can’t believe 2018 has come and gone. 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 of course, I’ll ask you to share your memories of 2018 as well!

WDW Radio # 539 - Mary Poppins Returns Interviews

In 1964, Walt Disney, along with a remarkable team of songwriters, actors, directors, artists, designers, and so many others on screen and behind the scenes, created and shared a film that was, and remains, practically perfect in every way. Mary Poppins Returns is a sequel to the original, timeless classic that comes at just the right time. This week, I sit down for one-on-one interviews with songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Whitman, and Director Rob Marshall. We’ll discuss timing, history, legacy, characters, cast, music, message, and more. And as a special bonus, I’ll share a conversation between the Mary Poppins Returns songwriters, and Disney Legend Richard M. Sherman, as they discuss the challenges of writing the score for the sequel, Sherman’s songwriting process, and thoughts on Mark and Scott’s favorite songs form Mary Poppins Returns, “Where the Lost Things Go."

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!

WDW Radio # 535 - Top Ten Things We Love About Main Street, USA

For me, nothing in Walt Disney World evokes as warm, sentimental, and nostalgic feeling for me than walking right down the middle of Main Street, USA. There are so many reasons why this is my favorite land in Magic Kingdom as well as reasons to appreciate this land, where the main attraction is the land itself. This week, we’ll share our Top Ten Things We Love About Main Street, USA in Walt Disney World, and ask you to share yours as well

WDW Radio # 533 - Moving to Disney - Part 2

In part 2 of our roundtable discussion about Moving to Disney World, I am joined by members of the WDW Radio Nation who are now also neighbors. 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 # 532 - Moving to Disney - Part 1

This week’s show is an episode that is literally 10 years in the making, as moving my family, my business, and my entire life to Walt Disney World was one of the most important decisions of my life. This week, I gather members of the WDW Radio Nation who are not only friends, but neighbors, as we share our experiences about moving our families to Walt Disney World. In the first part of our two-part conversation, we will cover topics including making the decision to move, timing, logistics, sequence, location, buying vs. renting, neighborhoods, schools, kids, pets, cost of living, and even the weather. We share not only our personal experiences, but real-world, practical advice… just in case you’ve been thinking about making the move to Disney as well.

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.

Nestled within the tranquil community of Conch Flats and surrounded by waterways and palm trees, Olivia’s delivers a bit of the Florida keys with savory home cooking, and service with a smile.

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!)

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

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

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.

WDW Radio # 522 - Top Ten Buildings in Walt Disney World

This week, we will explore Walt Disney World from the outside in, as we discuss our Top Ten Buildings in Walt Disney World. From the parks to the resorts, we will look beyond the structures and stories, but also their architectural significance, accuracy, design, and function. We'll examine the different types of entertainment architecture, the engineering marvels, as well as why they resonate with us on a personal, subjective level.

WDW Radio # 521 - Dan Cockerell Interview

The Cockerell name is synonymous with not just leadership, but a legacy of customer service and exceptional guest experience in the Disney Company. Dan Cockerel’s story of summers in the Epcot parking lot to VP of Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom is a shining example of not just what you can learn from the DIsney Company, but being able to make and leave positive change in your wake. Dan joins me this week to talk about his journey from the Walt Disney World College Program, to Disneyland Paris, leading and learning from Cast Members in Walt Disney World, to using technology to communicate with them on a large, yet intimate scale. You’ll learn not just about his time at Disney, but lessons you can use in your own life and path as well.

WDW Radio # 520 - Maria and Enzo’s in Disney Springs LIVE Review

Ciao, and welcome, as this week, I invite you to join me and some other friends, like, you, around the table at Maria and Enzo’s Ristorante in Disney Springs. 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. You may not want to listen hungry.

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.

WDW Radio # 517 - Countdown to Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War - Part 1

The upcoming release of Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War is not just an important film and milestone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but is one that might affect the Disney Parks as well. This week, I have assembled some of Earth’s (and the WDW Radio Nation’s) mightiest heroes to count down to Infinity War. We will discuss all of the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in order, and share our Top 5 MCU films. We will also look at what we expect from Infinity War (spoiler-free), and give you a primer on what we know, what we think we know, the cast, characters, and maybe what we think might be coming to Disney Parks in the not-so-infinite future.

WDW Radio # 514 - Top Ten Emotional Experiences in Walt Disney World

Visiting Walt Disney World (or not visiting enough) often evokes an emotional response from us. 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. Well, more than four decades later, he did just that, as this week, I am excited to share my conversation with Dave Goelz, the puppeteer and voice actor who worked with Jim Henson and performed as The Great Gonzo, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Waldorf, Zoot, and many others, including roles in Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and as the voice of Figment in the Journey into Imagination with Figment attraction at Epcot. We talk about his career with the Muppets, life as and with Gonzo, and his new movie, Muppet Guys Talking.

This week, I invite you to meet the man who went from a Disneyland Day One Guest, to a Disneyland Day Two Cast Member. A boy who went from influencing Walt, to a man who managed the monorail in Walt Disney World, and helped open Disneyland Paris. His name is Tom Nabbe, and his journey from boy with a dream to Disney Legend is both fascinating and inspiring. Join me as I sit down with Tom to talk about his unique career path, from stories of working with Walt, to his window on Main Street, USA, and more.

This week, I invite you to come with me on a journey that will take us through a globetrotting adventure... in a single location. Join me on the oh-so-very-comfortable couch as we explore every mouth-watering item on the menu at Nomad Lounge. Located next to Tiffins at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, real-world adventures are translated into culinary inspirations as the menu contains freshly-prepared, scrumptious small-plate items, and tasty libations from distant locations around the world.

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 # 495 - Lost Parades of Walt Disney World

Enjoying the parades at the Disney parks is more than a way to just kill some time before your next meal. In fact, in many ways it’s a rite of passage. The characters, dancers, floats, and music offer more than a show, but an experience to be enjoyed by kids of all ages. This week, we’ll look at not just the history of Walt Disney World parades, but the surprising number and variety through the years as we explore the Lost Parades of Walt Disney World.

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 # 493 - Paddlefish in Disney Springs LIVE Review

From its beginnings as the Empress Lilly, the paddlewheel steamship docked on the shores of Lake Buena Vista in Disney Springs has been a unique dining destination. Recently, it reopened as Paddlefish, and this week, I invite you to join me at the table as we sample the menu from stem to stern, from appetizers like table side lobster guacamole, to deserts with candied bacon and (almost) everything in between.

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 # 490 - 10 Takeaways from D23 Expo 2017

This year’s D23 Expo was not just the largest to date, but was one that was full of surprises and announcements from many divisions in the Disney Company, including Parks and Resorts, live action films, animation, television, and more. So this week, we’ll look back at the event and discuss 10 Takeaways from D23 Expo 2017. From the show floor to the panels and presentations, and everything in between, we’ll not only review what was announced, but the Expo in general, and also speculate at what the future may hold with some predictions about what may be coming to the parks. We’ll also discuss our inaugural Disneyland Quest scavenger hunt through the park, and reveal what’s coming next!

Disney Springs has evolved into a true destination in Walt Disney World, especially for locals and frequent visitors. The shopping and live entertainment put the finishing touches on what I believe are some of the best dining experiences in Walt Disney World. One of my personal favorites is (and has been) Moritomo Asia. So this week, I would like to invite you to dinner with me and some friends for a live review for a restaurant that I believes offers much more than what you might expect.

WDW Radio # 482 - Geyser Point LIVE Review at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge

As part of the Copper Creek expansion to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, the new Geyser Point Bar and Grill opened along the shores of Bay Lake. This beautiful, open-air lounge welcomes adults and families in for a relaxing bite amidst the cedar beams, natural stone, and the resort’s overall rustic beauty. This week, we sample… well.. all of the menu (and then some), as well as some of the unique, artisanal beverages. So pull up a chair with us around the table, grab a fork (quickly, because we eat fast), and a drink, and find out what we think about the decor, drinks, and dinner, and share YOUR thoughts with us as well.

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 # 479 - Interview with Duncan Wardle, Former VP of Innovation & Creativity for the Walt Disney Company

I’m so excited to share my conversation with Duncan Wardle with you this week. While you may not recognize his name, he is the former Vice President of Innovation & Creativity for the Walt Disney Company. In his nearly 30 year career, he helped send Buzz Lightyear to space, built a swimming pool on Main Street, USA, flew a turkey first class to Disneyland, and helped countless guests create lasting, magical memories. This week, we sit down to discuss some of Disney’s most fun and unique marketing campaigns, Disney and social media (and the Disneyland podcast), customer service, and so much more. Duncan also shares some tips and tactics to inspire creativity in YOU, and a special announcement as well.

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.

WDW Radio # 476 - Top Ten Cast Member Roles

If I asked you to come up with a list of reasons why you love, and continue to visit, Walt Disney World, I’m sure you could very easily come with list of top ten reasons… with 10 being more like guidelines, of course. 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. And then I’ll ask YOU to share your dream Cast Member role with me.

WDW Radio # 475 - Planet Hollywood Observatory LIVE Review

As Disney Springs continues to grow and evolve from what was Downtown Disney, so have many of the venues which have been there since the Pleasure Island days. 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 # 469 - Top Ten Funniest Attraction Moments in Walt Disney World

We all love to laugh, and if you think about it, it’s a big reason why we go (and go back to) Walt Disney World - the laughter, smiles, and memories they create. And there are so many opportunities to laugh in the parks. Some we create ourselves, and many come form some of the humor we find in the attractions. So this week, we’re going to look (and laugh) at our Top Ten Funniest Attractions Moments in Walt Disney World, and then I’ll ask you to share your own as well.

WDW Radio # 467 - History of Christmas at Walt Disney World

Christmas and the spirit of the season has always been celebrated in the Disney Parks, beginning in Disneyland in 1955, and continuing to Walt Disney World just two months after the park opened in 1971. Through the years, a variety of celebrations, shows, and spectacles have been featured in the parks, hotels, and throughout the resort. This week, we will look back at the History of Christmas in Walt Disney World, from the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Candlelight Processionals, to bears, Osborne Lights, Santa, the glory and pageantry, lights, celebrities, music, characters, and everything else that make up the Jolly Holidays at Walt Disney World. I’ll then ask you to share your memories with me for the show!

WDW Radio # 466 - Live Review of the New Sassagoula Floatworks Breakfast

Two of the many things I love are New Orleans and food, and when you combine those TWO into a newly-updated dining experience in Walt Disney World, it's like hearing a Siren’s Song, so I had to go see (and taste) for myself. This past weekend, the Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory reopened after a long refurbishment at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort. So this week, I invite you to join me around the table as we sample, share, and review breakfast in NOLA, right in Walt Disney World.

I asked. You answered, and entered and submitted your videos to be entered in this week’s Listener Fact or Fiction segment. But instead of choosing just one person to play, we’ll have 3 competitors testing their knowledge of Walt Disney World history and trivia in a fun game where its not about who wins or loses, but having some fun, hopefully learning something along the way, and the celebratory dinner in Walt Disney World.
