Dave’s Disney view

 This week, I talk about two returns to the WDW resort. A look at the proposed bullet train, the new hotel, and more info on the Oregon Duck. 

In this episode, I finish my thoughts about being a CM by telling a couple of fun stories and wondering what-if? What if I had stayed?

The what-if scenario plays out in my mind all the time. Sure I have no regrets, but everyone asks themselves this regularly day, don't they? What if I had done something differently?

I talk briefly about my decision to leave, and the reasons for it. Naturally (as most men will tell you is the case when there's a "life altering" decision to be made) there was a woman involved. Whether I was right or wrong at the time is irrelevant. It was complicated, and I had to move on. Enough said.

It was a most interesting time in my life, and I'll never forget it, and always treasure it.

I do have more stories to tell, and will sprinkle them into other podcasts.

There's not much to add to this podcast. I worked hard and grew in responsibility. I tell some stories about what it was like. 

By far, the number one question I get asked when anyone learns I was a

Back in 1992, I decided to be a CastMember. I talk about my

 Okay, I'll admit it: this is my weakest podcast. The editing is not what it should be, and the background music is too loud.

But, I think the content is good. I talk about what EPCOT was - and is - and provide some insights along with Walt's audio about it. 

 There was so much going on in my day-trip! I had to go back and add a second part to the day.

Enjoy! 

 The week before President's Day, my brother visited WDW, and invited me to come along.

How could I say no?

I brought my mp3 recorder and bring you some audio from around the Magic Kingdom.

This was a really fun one-day trip. We saw as much as we could, and had fun catching up.... 

 This is my first news segment, and I talk about the goings-on at Disney world.

I talk about the Fantasyland expansion, the Tron-o-rail, changes coming to Star Tours and more!

Also...among the things I talk about is a relationship between the University of Oregon and Disney, which immediately generated some emails and discussion. I'll have to delve into this more in a future podcast. 

I had a blast talking with Hoot. He told me some GREAT stories about his time jumping off the attraction in order to document it completely.

He's a witty guy, and this was one of the more fun interviews I've ever done.

I hope you get a lot out of it! His passion for the attraction is evident. 

 Because of the length of the ride - and my verbose talk about it - I split this into a second podcast.

Its like being there! Enjoy the ride all over again...
