Overview: Its time to catch up on Disney news - changes to the parks, changes to Fast Pass, enhancements, premium events, parties and a whole lot more. Then, I take a moment to talk about the new documentary about Bob Gurr.

 Overview: Today's podcast is a tribute to the China pavilion. I take a thorough look at the design, layout, theming, and talk about the Circlevision movie that's shown. Then, I spend some time talking about shopping and dining. Its another of Epcot's opening-day pavilions, so come and explore what was once a forbidden land. 

 Notes: China is an interesting pavilion because it represents a communist nation - but through its culture, history and people. Take time to walk through the Lotus garden; its quite beautiful and includes indigenous plants from China.

 Overview: Its the 25th anniversary of DVC, and I have never really given it its due.  So today's episode is all about the vacation club - I give you all the  information you need - so you can make an informed decision about whether to buy into it or not. 

Overview: Today's show is a look at one of the 1964 Worlds Fair shows: Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.  Come and take a listen to how this show came to be, and then hear the current audio track from Disneyland. 

 Notes: In this era of political uncertainty, I thought it would be good to remind everyone that we are all part of what makes this an amazing country.  Lincoln served during the time when we were most divided as a nation, and his point of view is surely relevant today.  I wanted to put a little spin on political discourse, while presenting a classic attraction. The timing just seemed right. 

Overview: Come and take a listen as I explore the history of Walt Disney's Circlevision. There are two remaining daily shows - both at Epcot - but the history is a little surprising. Walt had a greater vision, as he often did.

Notes: Much of the discussion about Walt's vision comes from Theme Park Tourist looks at CircleVision 

 Overview: Today's podcast is a tribute to the Canada pavilion. I take a thorough look at the design, layout, theming, and talk about the Circlevision movie that's shown. Then, I spend some time talking about shopping and dining. Its another of Epcot's opening-day pavilions, so come and explore our neighbors to the north. 

 Overview: The recent changes to the pricing model - particularly for a day pass - got me to thinking about how Disney has become more about the bottom line, and more like many other corporations...so I add my two cents to the discussion. The intent is to provide a point of view, not to be negative about the changes. 

 Overview: Barry and Scotty hosted a few podcasters - me included - to talk about what we love about Disney! Its a fun roundtable discussion with Dapsmagic, D-cast, and the Disney Cruising Mom, about what we love about the parks. I wanted to share with my listeners (note: this podcast is much longer than anything I typically produce)

Early reviews:

“I can honestly say this book is well worth the price just for the pictures alone.” SE

“This is a masterpiece.  Every technical university should have one.” JK

“This is a book to own for any monorail or transportation enthusiast.: TS

Since publication in December the large 248-page hardbound book is already being used by monorailists and manufacturers to promote monorail for transit.  Monorails: Trains of the Future-Now Arriving is the definitive book on the topic and after only two months on the market, the color photo-rich book in the libraries of many railfans.  If you don’t have the book on your coffee table yet, it’s time to order it before it sells out!

 Overview: On this podcast, I welcome back my friend Curt to the show. He's here to talk about the Wild Africa Trek, an "extra" experience where you can go out in the Savnnah to see the animals much more personally, and have a little adventure for a few hours. Its sounds like a lot of fun - and makes me want to signup to go on safari myself!
