Meandering Mouse and Meandering Mouse Club TV-(AUDIO and VIDEO) Disney Park Fun

**Headphone Friendly** In this episode of The Meandering Mouse, I continue my EPCOT retrospective series and highlight the original Universe of Energy. We discover that the departure of the original Universe of Energy in 1994 marks a great change in the general theme of EPCOT's Future World. A piece of EPCOT's original mission is also left behind with the re-imagineering of the pavillion. While I still consider the re-themed attraction (Ellen's Energy Adventure) to be a very well done and entertaining replacement, it's always interesting to take a look back. Highlights of this show include full commentary discussing the energy pavillion's history, the design, its principles, and an edited audio ride thru of the attraction.

Outro music on Itunes - Bob Sinclar - World, hold on. First post of this episode had the wrong finale song presented in the ride thru. Universe of Energy should play at the finale vs. Energy, you make the world go round.

**Made for HEADPHONES** We start this episode with probably the most endearing / special piece of audio I've ever taken. I interviewed my 96 year old Grandmother while I was in Pittsburgh. Why you ask? It's simple. The Meandering Mimi was responsible for taking my Sister and I to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom for the very first time back in 1983 when I was 8 years old! This recorded discussion is our attempt at digging up all those magical memories which occured way back when. As you'll hear, it wasn't easy! Next up, we continue in the way back machine and explore some of the first EPCOT Center music ever presented to the public as a listener chimes in on the subject of EPCOT's BGM loops. The feature of the show will be an audio adventure around the World Showcase lagoon with my buddy, Patrick, and Earl from Trapped on Vacation. We meander around one evening experiencing The World Showcase exactly as it should be experienced: With no particular agenda other than to explore and take it all in. The audio wraps up with rides on Norway's Maelstrom and Mexico's El Rio Del Tiempo. Check out the DPN website changes going on now. More great things to come.

**HEADPHONES Rock** This episode is for all those little orphan audio clips taken at the parks. They have no sensible home for a sensible formatted show. Therefore, we experience many Disney park sound oddities out at Disney World and just have some fun. Highlights include: Meandering Minnie Meanderings, Animal Kingdom / Animal Kingdom Lodge sound oddities, and Magic Kingdom sound oddities Purchase opening music from ITunes: Angelina and Armand's - Disney Freaks - Thanks to an old friend Chet P. for bringing it to my attention.

**MUST HAVE HEADPHONES** I finish my live in park podcast taken during my trip last week with this show. Please make sure you have already listened to part 1 as to complete the audio experience. This final part of the special series is twice as long as the first part because I am home with more time on my hands to work on the show. Part 1 was thrown together from my hotel room in Anaheim. There is a little more babbling by me going on here since I find myself back tracking a bit while trying to decide what to do with my morning. Below is the list of attractions I hit while Meandering around the park on this second and final part of my podcast in the park morning. Yes, I know we've done some of these attractions before but this two part show was meant to highlight a complete and somewhat typical morning for me as I left the mics run as much as possible while I had some fun. The best part? Your are along for the journey! Space Mountain Ride Thru (best audio of this one yet due to new field equipment - no more insane distortion), It's a Small World, Push the Trashcan (Best EVAR), Roger Rabbit's Toontown Queue exploration and Ride Thru, Toon Town Meanderings, Big Thunder Mountain, and The Haunted Mansion.

**MUST HAVE HEADPHONES-Re-Uploaded version-Turn up your treble if vocals are too bass heavy and hard to understand** This is a special LIVE FROM DISNEYLAND Meandering Mouse podcast: Part One. Recorded on September 1 2006. I'm sitting here in my hotel room at the Anaheim Resort area as I post this. I changed my flight plans and added an extra day to my little vacation out here. Yesterday I experimented with recording an entire show at the park. I meandered around during a gorgeous Friday morning and you will be along for the ride. No editing was done to this piece of audio. Enjoy Part 1 of your morning with me at Disneyland in Anaheim, California!! Thanks to everyone that has made donations to The Meandering Mouse and The Disney Podcast Network thru the show website!

**HEADPHONES R Ur Friends** The Meandering Mouse returns from another EPCOT retro show and does what its known for best: Meandering throughout the Walt Disney World Resort. Join me for a complete audio journey of a somewhat typical morning at Disney World. We begin at EPCOT's monorail station where we take a ride to the TTC and then hop onto the express Monorail to The Magic Kingdom. While Meandering down Main Street, we notice some charming details. Next, enjoy the transition into Tomorrowland and meet up with an old friend for a wild ride on Space Mountain. Once we make our way into Fantasyland, Peter Pan's Flight is on our must-do list before heading over for a wonderful sounding ride through The Haunted Mansion. Our morning at The Magic Kingdom comes to an end at The Frontierland Train Station. It begins to rain and Lou from Beyond Main Street just happens to be headed into the same station we're waiting at for the train. An odd coincidence for sure! To end our audio adventure, we hop back onto The Monorail for a trip around EPCOT where we finish back at the start of it all. Stick around for some wonderful audio feedback sent in by a listener.

**Lookie Mom! HEADPHONES** Join me for part three of my recent EPCOT Retrospective Series. This show will cover The World of Motion and MUCH MORE!! First up, I devote some time to some wonderful listener comments and voice mail. I've been quite appreciative over all the positive response to the show as of lately. Next, we take a "Magic Journey" back in time to explore The World of Motion. In my typical EPCOT retro style, I go over the history of the attraction, some technical specs, how I felt about it, and I then feature a special segment about Marc Davis since his infamous AA "sight gags" filled The World of Motion. Soon after that we board our Omnimovers and take our stereo ride thru of the entire attraction. To end the show, I let you in on my personal feelings over what EPCOT has become and what's truly able to still strike a chord within me at the park. Stay until the end...you'll want to.

**PG-13 WARNING** TO SEE PICS of the Jungle Jet Ski area heard during the audio tour-GOTO The Disney Podcast Network Forums show notes.

Something quite different......along with something familiar. The Meandering Mouse emerges from the more serious side as heard on the EPCOT retrospective series and returns with its irreverent commentary, biting sarcasm, and wildly creative take on the Disney podcast. Get your Adventurer's gear and first join us for some Disneyland Adventureland Meanderings. We take the original Jungle Cruise right at closing time and then explore Tarzan's Treehouse. During the featured audio of this episode, The Meandering Mouse and his buddy, Quenton, imagineer their own version of the Jungle Cruise and feature the audio ride-thru for this special show. It took one 3 seat 1100cc 125 H.P. Jet Ski, two adventurous souls, some microphones, a bunch of water bound natives, some REAL wildlife sightings, and a lot of noise out on the open water to build this E-ticket attraction of insanity. **WARNING** The Meandering Jungle Jet Ski Cruise part of the show is not for the kiddies and not for those sound quality snobs. This is extreme outdoor and impromptu soundseeing podcasting at its finest. Recording at a moment's notice sans windscreen while, occasionally, flying across the water at over 50MPH isn't pretty at times but we do slow down and explore the countryside for most of the experience. Fascinating stuff edited and cleaned up just a bit. Bring your sense of humor to this show or make use of that fast forward feature. This Epsiode's Photo Art Courtesy of The Meandering Minnie.

**WEAR HEADPHONES OR SUFFER ;)**Back by massively POPULAR DEMAND is my retrospective series covering EPCOT's golden era. On this show, I feature the ORIGINAL Journey into Imagination attraction (1983-1998). The past and present of the attraction will be explored along with a detailed ride description before taking another amazing stereo audio ride thru which is similar to the Horizons ride thru I played on a previous episode. I share my personal memories and feelings over what was one of the most fascinating and somewhat abstract dark rides ever conceived by The Disney company.

This show begins with the Meandering Minnie and I making a Kungaloosh in the studio to celebrate one heck of a busy week being done with. After our tasty adult beverage, we review Lou Mongello's latest Disney World Trivia book as his publisher was nice enough to provide us podcasters with a free copy. Before the Meandering Minnie leaves the studio, we feature some in park audio of a few cast members we talked to, learn a bit about the Reedy Creek District, and the C.H.I.P. hotline. As I take the mic solo for the remainder of the show, I discuss that special feeling you have when you first arrive at the parks and feature some great park audio of my buddy Quenton and I arriving at the Disneyland Resort for the first time. We walk down Main Street and end our audio meandering with Quenton's first ride on Space Mountain. He had a great time to say the least and you'll hear that in the ride-thru. Next up, we experience the queue at Space Mountain in Florida. I meander through the Star Tunnel and then play the music featured in both the entrance and exit of the attraction since it is some of my favorite music heard at WDW's Magic Kingdom. One of the tracks I stumbled upon was tagged, "Space Mountain - Impressions" and I ask YOU from which Space Mountain the track comes from. To round things out we visit the Space Mountain launch pad where a GOOD FRIEND seems to have gotten stuck in the space capsule which is ready to blast off! Somebody get a wrench and FAST! Last, we read a few listener emails as the last Horizons episode caused my inbox to be slammed with some amazing feedback.
