Heigh Hooooooooooo! Heigh Hooooooooooo!

If you were singing to yourself, Someday My Podcast Will Come, that day is here! Join us as we talk about the making of this great movie, the reactions it received back in 1937 (spoiler alert: people loved it), and of course we discuss our own takeaways from the film.

We kick it off with a new segment in which we each bring a themed drink to the table and, of course, we can't forget Andy's Roundup!

And BOLO for those sales grannies!!

Have you noticed, in WDW, you're actually surrounded by robots?? Well, in Disney World, they're affectionately known as "Audio Animatronics", and they have been responsible for entertaining park visitors every day since the opening of Disneyland in 1955. There are so many AA's in WDW, in fact, it would be easier to list the attractions which do NOT contain one of these talking/singing/dancing/joke-telling little characters.

So join us as we get down to the wires of these little (and some very big) robots. Laura will discuss the history and inner-workings of AA's and Alison reminds everyone of some of the most memorable AA's around WDW.

Also, during this episode, we host the 1st Annual Disney Philharpoddies, a very special award presentation for some very special robots.

It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights!

It's time to meet the Muppets on Volume 1 of our Muppets Series tonight!

Please enjoy this first installment of what we hope to make a multi-volume tribute to the bears and dogs and chickens and things we know and love as Jim Henson's Muppets. Now owned by Disney and with an increasing presence in WDW, we are happy we can use this podcast as an outlet to share our Muppet love with all of you!

In this episode, Laura gives a history of Jim Henson's career and creation of the Muppets and recounts their eventual acquisition by Disney. Alison describes some WDW attractions in which you can currently find the Muppets, as well as some shows from the past and even some things from the "never-was".

*Please be advised this episode contains heavy Muppet impressions which may not be pleasing to people with ears.

Journey back to the late Cretaceous/Crustaceous period with us and hope we get out just in time for the giant asteroid impact that destroyed most lifeforms on Earth.

What's that? You thought we were going to the early Cretaceous Period? Wrong. Dr. Seeker has unlocked those coordinates and put your life on the line to fulfill some strange personal mission which may or may not involve a denim button down shirt and a very big tie. Trust me, what could go wrong?

Happy 2017, Everybody!

Well, gang, as I'm sure you all know: nothing is sadder than coming back to the real world after a WDW trip. We have prepared an extra special episode for our "non-trip report" Trip Report. In this episode Alison and Laura proudly present a whole episode-full of mini audio snippets, interviews and live in-park entertainment which we brought back directly from WDW all for you!

Please enjoy!

In this Episode we share history and stories of one of the greatest shows ever presented at Walt Disney World. The Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights, later The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights holds a special place in our memories and likewise in the memories of probably anyone who ever saw them!

Laura tells the tale of Jennings Osborne from Little Rock, Arkansas who was on a simple quest to spend more time with his family. Alison reminds everyone of some of the details found around the attraction and Andy's Roundup leaves us to solve the age-old problem: where else could Disney have put this attraction rather than just canceling it altogether?

*We will be off next week and no episode will be released on 12/10/16 because we will be in WDW! Follow us for some surprise hello's from our trip. See ya real soon!

Fire up those time machines, everyone! Don't worry, we'll have you back before your dad finds out you borrowed it. A little twist on the classic trip report here, DisneyPhilharpodcast proudly presents a throwback Trip Report! No bowler hat guy in sight!

Alison gives her trip report from a May 2007 WDW Trip and believe it or not, has enough details to describe it as if it were just yesterday!

Andy's Roundup is magically transformed into Andy's Conversational Piece and we aaaaaaalmost managed to get through the whole episode without a mere mention of the dreaded Tomorrowland cabanas...but were unsuccessful.

Aloha! Hey, so remember that time when Stitch took over everything?!

Yes, that's right, Experiment 626, otherwise known as our beloved Stitch, maintained quite a presence in the Disney Universe for most of the 2000's with four movies, a tv show, his own attraction in the Magic Kingdom and some...moments which were, shall we say, not exactly exemplary of a model citizen. Badness level was high!!!

So grab yourself some coffee and desserts (more desserts!)and join us as we chat about...well...that time Stitch took over everything!

Oh, and Leroy.
