What a special tour this ended up being for the three of us!  Sure, we have some very lighthearted memories of times with characters in the Disney Parks.  But there are also a few stories that hit a little harder.  We hope you will listen and join in the conversation!

Join us at the Disney Conversations Facebook Page and chime in!  What is your favorite Character interaction at Walt Disney World or Disneyland?

On this tour of Disney Conversations, Magical Matthew is flying solo!  Joining us is guest Tour Guide Tony Glibkowski who is the Vice President of The Sunshine Flyer!  Many of us were saddened to hear that Disney's Magical Express was going away!  As a result, there was a time when doubt may have entered our minds about how we were getting to our Disney Resorts.  The Sunshine Flyer has quickly caught on as one of those options.

Join us as we discuss how the Sunshine Flyer was born!  How the design of each motor coach was decided upon.  And how to make sure you can climb aboard one of these specially decorated buses.

If you are flying into Orlando International Airport on our way to Walt Disney World, please consider making a reservation for The Sunshine Flyer.

Thank you for joining us!  Please pass us along to your friends on social media!  Join the Disney Conversations Facebook Group and chime in with your thoughts.  Thanks for listening and we'll see you again next week...TTFN

We all know that in order to go to Walt Disney World or Disneyland, that the cost keeps going up!  For many, this requires sacrificing something to make OUR dreams a reality!  Along with our Tour Guide, Diane Whiting, we look at ways that we sacrifice to be able afford our vacations.  And, we look at other ways that some have sacrificed, as well!

Tour Guide, Mindy Muir, is healing from an injury and we would truly appreciate your prayers and good wishes on her behalf so she can return soon!

Please share your sacrifices with us on our Facebook page!  Or, email us at [email protected] and chime in!

Thank you for sharing Disney Conversations with your friends and family!  We really appreciate your help!

Until next time, Tourists...TTFN

We take a tour of the history of Disney Parades in the parks.  We start by talking about the first parades we remember seeing, and venture in to ones we are dad we missed.  The discussion continues into a little future forecasting as to what may be coming out of this year's D23 Expo that may hint at a new nighttime parade at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.  Will there be one?  Or, will we all breathe a heavy sigh when there is nothing said?  What would you like to see?  Chime in on our Disney Conversations Facebook Group.  Or, contact us at [email protected].

We would be very appreciative if you would help spread the word!  So invite your friends to check us out on all your favorite podcast players.

Until next time, tourists...

Welcome Aboard!!

As a companion to Tour 61 Scooting Around WDW, we thought it was prudent to also do a tour on using the Disability Access Service (DAS) at Walt Disney World and Disneyland.

Mindy shares a lot of information as someone who's family needs this service to make the most of their magical vacations.  There is a lot to think about when traveling this way.  We also chat about using First Aid areas to meet certain needs.

It is my sincere hope that you find this information useful.  Please pass this tour on to anyone you may know who could use this information!

Until next week, tourists!

I am joined on this tour by Michael who work for Gold Mobility Scooters in Orlando.  He has developed a help guide for using scooters at the Walt Disney World parks and ranked them according to difficulty of access.  We talk about that along with some general tips on using scooters while at WDW.

It was great having Michael aboard for this ride.  Should you, or someone you know, need to rent a scooter, please contact Gold Mobility Scooters at www.goldmobilityscooters.com and use the very easy form to make your rental a reality.  If you want to see his guide for using scooters in the parks you can look at his YouTube video at https://youtu.be/tyADbrOJ1DE.

On our next tour, we will look at making use of the DAS system at Walt Disney World and Disneyland.  I hope you will come back for that one!

Until next week...TTFN
