Dave’s Disney view

 Today, I explore the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. First, I provide some background on the attraction - how did it come to be? What's the back story? And then, come along and take a walk through the outside and queue of the attraction, followed by a ride on it. Its a little love to an attraction that most people run to for the thrill aspect. But the story is actually pretty interesting.  

 On today's podcast, I am in the Magic Kingdom, checking out the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom. Its a fun, interactive experience. Join me as I describe the experience, how it works, and set out to save the kingdom!

First things first. I play part of an interview that Rick Brigante did with Imagineer Jonathan Ackley. I provide it for context, but want to give full credit to Rick. You should visit his site and check out his work. He provides a thorough look at all things Disney... Inside the Magic

Now I will admit, I didn't love this.  I liked it, but I didn't feel like it was enough - since you stand on a pad and wave a card and get sent to the next destination.  While the animation is great and its entertaining, I just found that it wasn't as interactive as I would like, and it took away from other things I wanted to do.  I have more fun looking for Hidden Mickeys!!

But if you want to spend a little of your trip checking it out, its worth admiring the technology and the animation!  And you can always stop at any point and pick it up later - or another day or even another trip!

 Welcome to part 2 of our discussion on cruising Disney Style! "Freind of the Show" Curt recently returned from a cruise into the Caribbean and is here to tell us all about it. Tune in, and enjoy...maybe it will inspire you to take a cruise! 

 On this podcast, its all about taking a cruise - Disney style! "Freind of the Show" Curt recently returned from a cruise into the Caribbean and is here to tell us all about it. Tune in, and enjoy...maybe it will inspire you to take a cruise! This is part 1 of a 2-part series.  

 It's my 100th podcast! In celebration of this milestone, I bring you 100 fun things to do at Walt Disney World. Think of it as a kind of bucket list.

Now they're done somewhat rapid-fire, and generally look beyond the theme park and just riding attractions. There is SO MUCH to do and see, and I hit on many of them. But certainly not all of them. Feel free to share your bucket list below with me - and everyone!

I admit I have not managed to do all of these - but I want to!  

Live from Disney's Hollywood Studios, Dave takes on Star Wars Weekend! Join me as I tour around telling stories, and sharing the experience. Listen in on part of the parade, and HyperSpace Hoopla. And come for a ride on Star Tours. Its a fun time!

 Live from DisneyWorld, its a look at the FantasyLand expansion. I wander around and tell you everything I see, read some signs, and explain some of the timelines as I understand them. I also take a ride on the soon-to-be-closed Snow White ride. Then, I head over to Epcot to see what I can learn about the Agent P experience that is coming up in June.

Hey Where's Perry?

 Time for another round of Q and A! Included this time are questions about day passes to the parks, driving in from a resort off property, what to do with an extra day, gift cards, a question about christmas time, a Horizons throwback of sorts, and finally a question about being afraid of rides. Kick your shoes off and take a listen. And do keep those questions coming [email protected]. 

 I often get asked which ones are *MY* favortie restaurants, so on this podcast I tell you.

There are 9 restaurants listed, along with 5 that are no longer the same - but which I loved in their previous incarnation. I won't tell you my top 9 here (you have to listen!) but I will tell you that the 5 include: Ariel's, Minnie's Menehune Breakfast, King Stefan's, 1900 Park Fare, and the Tusker House. 

Do you have a list? Feel free to post it in the comments. 

...And at the end of the podcast, I introduce my new app to help you with Pin Trading.http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pin-trading/id521552029?mt=8

 Enjoy! 

 On this podcast, I am on location. But NOT at Disney World. Instead, I visit the recently-opened LegoLand which is south of the Disney Parks. I give you my thoughts and explain the lay of the land. I know, I've been talking about things other than Disney World of late - don't worry, I'll be back to that soon!

Welcome

Love how the sign says to keep off the legos.  Ha.

The garden is beautiful.

The giant Banyan tree

In the waterskiing show, there are giant Lego men.

The Lego city is *amazing*
