Fab 5 Podcast

All I can say is that this is the FishSeanWoo's birthday extravaganza with some serious guests spots and fun stories about our craziest co-host.Just make sure you listen to the entire show!HI-HI-HI-JACK WOOOOOOOO!Follow us on Facebook (WDW Navigators), on Twitter & Periscope (@wdwnavigators) or email us at [email protected] for listening and we hope you enjoy the show!Rob

This is part 2 to episode 37 of our interview with former Imagineer Mark Eades. If you are a fan of EPCOT, then you should know his name and if you love EPCOT then you need to hear part 2. There are some cuts in this part as he told us some great "off-the-record" stories but what you will hear is fascinating and an insight into the development of EPCOT and other parks' attractions. Pay attention to the Captain EO story.We recorded this before Susie Q took her cruise, so I cut out the old news and we haven't had a chance to record with her since her return to land. Susie Q's FastPass to the News will return next week when we have local-legend, Orlando's own Ken Storey on to discuss 2016 in Orlando.Check out our newly re-launched Facebook page (WDW Navigators), follow us on Twitter & Periscope (@WDWNavigators), email us at [email protected] and here on our website.Give us a listen on Stitcher, Podbean and iTunes. Leave us a 5-star review and we will include it on our next episode.And as always, thank you for listening.Rob

Episode 38 Coming together for

the “Q”

This is our first episode without

the glue that holds our WDW Navigators together, Susie Q. 

But that means we needed to fill

the show with some very special guests:

Jerry and Simone of the Mouse

Rants podcast                           http://mouserants.wix.com/mouserants

Zeek, Apex Predator Rachel G, and

Kristi of the Behind the Magic podcast https://www.btmpodcast.com/

Danny, Kevin, Lee, and of course

my main man ELLLIIIIII of the Magic Our Way podcast. http://magicourway.com/      

246    246    246  

246   246

Give all of these awesome

podcasts a listen, you will not be disappointed.   Each of these teams have helped the WDW

Navigators get up and running by helping us figure out editing and audio.   You might even hear some of the Navigators

on some of their shows.

Lastly we had Susie’s self-proclaimed

“Bestie” Lindsey on the show and she provided a heart-felt birthday message.

Thank you all who helped

contribute to this epic Susie Q-less episode which was actually all about

her.  Ironic isn’t it.  As ironic as someone asking a Hollywood

Studios cast member how to get to the Swiss Family Robinson tree house.    

On behalf of the Establishment

Sean and Rob, the outline guru Keith, and the man himself LIVE from Pei Wei,

Skipper Chris we want to wish Susie Q a very very magical Happy Birthday.   Surprise!!! 

Good grief!

Thank you for listening and we

hope you enjoy it.

In this bad idea episode, we record while some of us are celebrating the incoming New Year with libations.  The episode is short because there was only so much we could use from the recording.On the lighter side, one of us is tasked with being Baby New Year and has to wear the diaper. Listen to find out who it was.On the serious side, we all make one resolution for WDW with a new attraction, ride, show or just an overall hope for one or more of the parks.Thank you for listening to this one, seriously, thank you because it is not pretty. But it is funny.We appreciate all of our guests, followers and friends that we have made this year and look forward to a bigger 2016.We will be back on Wednesday with our regular episode next week.
