Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Pod: An Unofficial Disney Podcast

As Walt Disney World debuts a new Mary Poppins Returns -themed restaurant, Aaron joins his close friends Albert Gutierrez and Jonathan Harvill for a DEEP dive into the 2018 movie musical starring Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Their conversation was recorded in early 2019 but is only debuting now.

In this, the first of a multi-part discussion, On Main Street shares general impressions of the film and considers some of its biggest criticisms. (The next episode will look closely at each of the movie's songs.)

Aaron continues the trip report from his WDW Spring Break vacation with his friend Courtney, but this time, things are a little different. Having realized just how chronologically inaccurate the first episode was, Aaron pulls the reigns in from Courtney and guides you through this part of the trip from inside the studio. There are lots of anecdotes and in-park audio along the way, however, including:

• A tourist's complaint at Hollywood Studios Guest Relations

• Ride-throughs on Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

• An over-eager tourist who's a little too happy to be meeting someone from England

• Audio of Aaron's first-ever ride on Tower of Terror (who screams more embarrassingly? Aaron, or the row of teen girls beside him?)

• Churro feedback for the Disney Dining folks

• And much, much more!

Once again, your host is new to the world of field recording, so the audio quality isn't always the best. Thank you for your patience! We'll get better with time!

Headphones are HIGHLY recommended!

The montage has now been enhanced with a villains image gallery that plays alongside the audio piece! Basically, this is the long-awaited "cheat sheet" that was promised last Halloween and never came around until now!

Then, Aaron reviews a new Disney book: The Hassle-Free Walt Disney World Vacation 2011 by Steven M. Barrett. Find out how this book really sets itself apart from the others in ways that Disney fans will want to know about.

Finally, Aaron recommends a great and somewhat bizarre Disney Halloween movie that you probably haven't seen!

SPECIAL NOTE: This episode is an enhanced .m4a podcast and requires either iTunes, Quicktime, iPod, iPhone, or iPad for playback. For those who can't use any of the recommended programs or devices, a standard .mp3 version will be available at http://www.aaronwallaceonline.com/zaddp56.html (the .mp3 version will not include the image gallery that runs throughout the enhanced version of the episode).

As always, there's plenty of history and analysis for each song. Can you guess which one will get the #1 spot?

Thanks for joining me in this epic countdown. It's been a blast. Please share your feedback and feel free to post your own Top 25 list (or Top 100 if you're brave) on the Disney Podcast Network discussion forum. I'd love to see them!
