This week was both fun and relaxing at Disney's Animal Kingdom! Since I did MuppetVision 3D last week, I decided that I'm going to make a series of it and feature all of the 3D movies in Orlando over the next few weeks! So of course this week we took in It's Tough to Be a Bug! After that the Vacation Fiancee <-(see two E's!) and I wandered aimlessly around Animal Kingdom and the Pangani Jungle Trek. I hope you enjoy it, I had fun making it. Wandering aimlessly around DAK is among my favorite things to do. DAK isn't about the "attractions", it's more about what's between point A and point B.

I'm back with an all new show this week! Come with me as I complete a request from quite a few people, among them StrangeTikiGod from the DPN forums, as I go to MuppetVision 3D. Note: Jeff called "dibs" on the Muppet Pre-show, so this week I'm just playing the actual Show, and not the pre-show. Catch that on an upcoming episode of the Meandering Mouse Podcast! After Muppetvision is perhaps the funniest moment in DPN History! Jeff from Houston meets Squirty The Snowman over at Winter Summerland Miniature Golf. The potty-mouthed women that you hear are both the Vacation Fiance and the Meandering Minnie, and SamZotto makes an appearance as well! I totally set Jeff up, and he took it hook line and sinker! In between everything, are segments from New York Street at the Disney-MGM Studios (where I discover that it's a horrible place to record...) and the beach at Disney's Polynesian Resort! Have fun!

This week I ran myself ragged all week.  When people visit, it's fun but hectic around here with little or no time to relax!  It was a super fun week though, I got to meet Lou from Beyond Main Street, Byron and SamZotto from the DPN Forums, as well as hanging out a ton with the Meandering Mouse and Meandering Minnie, Jeff and Sally.  To top it all off, I have family in town that arrived on Thursday!!!

So I needed a night to myself to just sit on the couch, watch some TV and just veg...  Thankfully podcasting has a great tradition borrowed from mainstream media called the "Best of Show."  Join me as I go way back into the ToV archives to show #3!  We ride Pooh and Pirates at the Magic Kingdom.  It's really weird to see how much my show has progressed.  The Pirates portion is among my favorite segments ever, I hope you enjoy it as well!

Have fun!

This week I hit the Disney-MGM Studios and fulfill my first listener request - Tower of Terror! I'm a little late, it was a request that was made back in October or so by Holly from the Darcy and Holly show. After that I head across the park and give you a glimpse of what it's like to be a Studio Executive in Hollywood. Have fun!

This is probably the most random show I've ever done! I start at Fort Wilderness, head to the MK and catch some Main Street Entertainment, head down the Walk around the World towards the Contemporary, find the Olkahoma City Bombing memorial bricks, head to Vegas courtesy of Pryd from the DPN forums, then hang out with the Meandering MOuse at Epcot! Holy Randomness Batman!!! I had fun, I hope you do too!

This week we avoid the parks because of the Easter holiday chaos. Instead of the normal stuff, we went to the historic Bok sanctuary. Enjoy some nature, hear some history and sit bact and enjoy the music of the bell tower! My favorite song is around 28:30 or so! After Bok Tower, we head over to Spook Hill where you can stop your car on a line and it'll roll backwards up a small hill. It's really an amazing place!

This week I continue the TOV Family Vacation and take the Vacation Munchkins on the Jungle Cruise and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin with a tiny segment from the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway tossed in for good measure! Two Notes: 1. The compression went wonky for the first coupla minutes, because I'm working on the "save the date" cards for the TOV Wedding, I wasn't able to go back and re-encode the show. It gets better as the show goes on, I promise! B. First person who can tell me the inspiration for the intro wins a prize!

This week is part one of the TOV Family Vacation. Actually I suppose last week's episode was since I took the munchkins on the Carousel.... Whatever! This week come along with me as I take the Vacation Niece and Nephew on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and we play the "Goat Game!" After that we take a ride on the Happiest Cruise that Ever Sailed on 'it's a small world' love it or hate it, it's a classic attraction! Note: Goat Cheazy on the DPN Forums pointed out that as of last week I actually had 31 shows and I miscounted! So that makes this 32... I'm not cheating and skipping numbers... ;) Links Jonathan Coulton - Stroller Town

Gotcha! April Fools! My inbox has been flooded with "Thanks and Sorry to see you go!!" emails. I figured that the song and Waynes World Audio would be enough to give away the gag, oops! Sorry! Well I'm back! Never left actually! :) This week I have a very interesting Illuminations show, and then Part 1 of the Trapped on Vacation Family Vacation with the (future) Vacation Niece and Nephew! Have fun!!!
