So what are you waiting for? Let’s celebrate another week of Walt Disney World information and fun on the WDW News Today Podcast!!!

To kick off this week's show, we have the debut of the Walt Disney World Resort Weekend Update. While the name is new, you can expect the same weekly dose of news and rumors from around the vacation kingdom of the world, and there certainly is no shortage of topics to cover this week. During this week's broadcast, we'll discuss the new Wishes dessert party at the Magic Kingdom, the debut of Luxo Jr. at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and the on-going tours of Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort.

Also this week, listener Jeff Arauz finally takes control of the show and creates two unique segments for our enjoyment. First up is a round-table discussion that delves into three extremely important trip planning topics: Disney character meet-and-greets in the parks, the use of Photo Pass, and getting the most out of Extra Magic Hours.

To conclude this week's show, we have a one time only segment created by Jeff called "The Bibbidi, The Bobbidi, and The Boo". In this segment, we're going to try to find the good, the bad, and the ugly of Animal Kingdom's biggest E-ticket attraction, Expedition Everest: Legend of the Forbidden Mountain.

So what are you waiting for? Let’s celebrate another week of Walt Disney World information and fun on the 100th episode of the WDW News Today Podcast!!!

To kick off this historic episode, we'll celebrate three of the most influential people in the WDWNT Network, all of which have helped us so much over the last two years and whom without this show would never be possible. How do we celebrate individuals like these? By inducting them into the WDW News Today Hall of Fame.

Following that, it's time to play our favorite game show, "Where in the World is Tom Corless?". This time around, it's a fast paced game between WDWNT staff, former champions, and a very special guest. Who will win on the season finale of our game and who will find out where in the world I am? You'll have to listen to find out!

After that, we have the LONG awaited return of our Walt Disney World history segment, Back to the Future. In this return trip through time, we'll be looking at the history of my all-time favorite attraction, Journey into Imagination at Epcot. It's a fun discussion as we delve into the fascinating story of the Dreamfinder and Figment, as well as the controversial versions of the attraction that came later on.

Next up, we have the biggest edition EVER of Town Square Talk, as Denise Hafto from Magical Travel joins Mayor Justin Heyman and myself for the most exciting announcement in WDWNT Network history. This announcement will hopefully accomplish our goal of bringing ourselves and our audience closer together.

To wrap up the show, we have all of the wonderful voicemails that you left for us in commemoration of this week's milestone. A very special thank you to those who left the time to leave these messages.

Following that, we have an interview that I conducted with a very good friend of the show, Adam Goodger, to find out what he's up to over on the Disney Brit Podcast and to see if we can convince you to cross the pond for a very special event this December.

After that, we will open up our WDWNT-mail box once again so we can respond to your many emails and voicemails. We hope to make this a regular segment on the program, bringing more interaction between this program and its listeners.

To kick off episode 95, we have your Walt Disney World Resort News and Rumor Report. In this latest report, we will be discussing all of the changes you can expect to see when the Hall of Presidents re-opens in July at the Magic Kingdom, the unexpected name and concept for the next film based on a Disney Park attraction, and the sad passing of Disney Legend Wayne Allwine, the voice of Mickey Mouse.

To honor Wayne's legacy, I'll be presenting some of his greatest performances as the big cheese over the years between this week's segments and we'll be ending the show with one of his more touching performances as Mickey. Some of the pieces you'll hear during the show include the Disney Dreams Come True Parade and Wayne's induction as a Disney Legend in 2008.

Following that, we’ll have another edition of “What were they thinking?”, where we try to examine why certain decisions are or were made by Walt Disney World management. This time around, we'll try to figure out why there are so many unbuilt attractions in the history of Epcot's World Showcase and if we may ever see this attractions actually come to life.

Town Square Talk is also back this week, highlighting the hottest topics around our WDWNT Network of websites and podcasts. On this trip down Main Street WDWNT, we'll have all the details on our new WDWNTube video site, the new name and current state of our community forums, and information on a few upcoming episodes of the show including our huge episode 100 celebration.

Following that, we have a huge interview conducted by myself and my fellow Disney Pincast co-host John Rick, with a huge star from the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, Lee Arenberg. The interview is a bit lengthy, but I have a feeling you'll enjoy the insights into just what it's like to be an actor in a major film series, as well as being a part of a Disney theme park attraction.
