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 # 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 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.

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.

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 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 # 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 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 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?

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 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 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? 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 # 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 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 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 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!

So this week, we will look at our Top Ten Extinct Attraction Tributes, References, and Relics in the Walt Disney World parks, starting with Magic Kingdom. ---------------------------------- 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 # 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.

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 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!

WDW Radio # 592 - Interview with Chef Art Smith Join me at the table in Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ Kitchen in Disney Springs in Walt Disney World as I sit down with Chef for a one-on-one interview… and lunch. 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 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 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 # 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 # 553 - Finding Florida: Why, When, and How Walt Disney World Came to Orlando 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 # 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 # 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 # 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 # 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? 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.

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.

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.

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 # 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.

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 # 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.

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 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 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.

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.

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 # 439 - Disney and New Orleans The connections between Walt Disney and New Orleans go far beyond New Orleans Square in Disneyland and the Port Orleans Resorts in Walt Disney World.

Having just returned from the real French Quarter, we’ll also discuss just how close the parks come to the real thing.

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 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.

WDW Radio # 407 - 10 Books That Need to be in Every Walt Disney World Fan’s Library - May 24, 2015 THANK YOU for voting WDW Radio Best Travel Podcast for 2014!!!! 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. Whether you are starting your collection or looking to expand, there’s definitely a book (or 10) in this list for you.

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 like to look at Walt Disney World in terms of "layers of the onion," meaning that beyond the enjoyment of parks and resorts, as you dig deeper and peel back some of those layers, you uncover some amazing details and stories.

So this week, we're going to stop by the residence of one of Disney's Hollywood Studios' landmarks, and take a look at the story (both real and Imagineered) of Sid Cahuenga. Answer the Walt Disney World Trivia Question of the Week for your chance to win a Disney prize package.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #279 for the week of June 17, 2012.

We'll discuss the two lands, their history (both literal and according to Disney backstory), details, attractions, shops, restaurants and so much more. We have a lot to cover from an experience that had me happier than a tornado in a trailer park!

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #277 for the week of June 3, 2012. 30 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.

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.
