CleanWDW Radio Show # 276 - May 27, 2012 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station | Nooks and Crannies of World Showcase, Disney Trivia Contest and more! Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #276 for the week of May 27, 2012. For those listening in the United States, this Monday is Memorial Day where we honor those who have served, and I ask that today and always we remember the fallen, the heroes, the sacrifices and the families. On this week's show, we're going to take a unique tour around World Showcase in Epcot, as we encourage you to put down the guide map and take some time to explore, learn, discover and enjoy some of the many wonderful Nooks and Crannies of World Showcase. From tucked away corners, to little details, hidden treasures, educational opportunities, places to just get away and other opportunities to discover and learn, World Showcase has many experiences that you won't necessarily find on a park map. I'll also ask you to share your favorite out of the way spot or nook as well. I'll have the answer and winner for last week's Walt Disney World Trivia Question of the Week, and pose a new one for your chance to win a Disney prize package. Stay for a few quick announcements, before I play some more of your voicemails at the end of the show. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show. ------------------------------------- THANK YOU for your support by voting WDW Radio Best Travel Podcast for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011! ------------------------------------- Visit http://WDWRadio.com for our Disney blog, videos, events and more!

Since 1997, Star Wars Weekends has been presented at Walt Disney World at Disney's Hollywood Studios and includes special shows and parades, Star Wars celebrities, autograph opportunities, special limited-edition merchandise and memorabilia and even Star Wars themed food! You'll also get a peek inside the Carbon Freeze-Me experience, where you can get "frozen" in Carbonite, just like Han Solo in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. The highlight of the event is the nightly Hyperspace Hoopla, performed by a cast of Star Wars stars at the end of Hollywood Boulevard. The Rebel Alliance battles Emperor Palpatine and the evil Empire in a dance off of today's hottest music. Darth Vader, Boba Fett and a legion of Stormtroopers match their moves against Chewbacca, Slave Leia and Padme Amidala, along with C-3PO (in Shuffle Bot headwear). Their dance-off to LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" and "Party Rock" is priceless! ========================================= Join us every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET at http://WDWRadioLIVE.com for a LIVE interactive video news show covering Walt Disney World.

CleanWDW Radio Show # 267 - March 25, 2012 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station | Interview with Disney Composer Bruce Broughton and Trivia Contest Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #267 for the week of March 25, 2012. I'm pleased to share an interview this week with someone whose incredible talents in storytelling are not with pictures or words, but through his music. Bruce Broughton has received 20 Emmy and numerous Grammy awards as well as an Academy Award nomination for his television and motion picture work, and he also composed and conducted scores for Disney animated films such as The Rescuers Down Under and Bambi II. His incredible music can also be found throughout the Disney parks in themes for attractions such as Ellen's Energy Adventure, The Timekeeper, Honey I Shrunk the Audience and most recently, Spaceship Earth. He will share stories about working on the films and in the theme parks, including the processes, inspiration, differences and experiences, which may just make you appreciate these incredible works of art even more. I'll have the answer and winner for last week's Walt Disney World Trivia Question of the Week, and pose a new one for your chance to win a Disney prize package.

CleanWDW Radio Show # 262 - February 19, 2012 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station | Conversation with Disney Performer Carol Stein and more! Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #262 for the week of February 19, 2012. "You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality." That quote from Walt Disney exemplifies why Walt Disney World and all the Disney Parks worldwide mean so much to so many people, and why we keep coming back again and again to a place that makes us believe in magic. And in my continuing effort to introduce you to some of the people that make that magic happen, this week I'm sharing my conversation with Carol Stein. You may not know her name (yet), but chances are you've seen her at The Hoop Dee Doo Revue, The Diamond Horseshoe Saloon, The Top of the World, The Grand Floridian lobby, the Comedy Warehouse and behind the piano at the Rose and Crown Pub to name just a few. She'll share her personal stories about working at Walt Disney World for more than three decades and offer advice for others looking to help make the magic as well. I'll have information about a special WDW NewsCast coming up this Wednesday, February 22 before playing more of your voicemails at the end of the show.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #251 for the week of December 4, 2011. With the popularity of the recents Muppets movie release, many of us are looking back fondly at our love of the Muppets growing up on TV and in film.

This week, we'll hop aboard my Walt Disney World Wayback machine and look back at the marriage of Disney and the Muppets, The Muppets at Walt Disney World TV special, shows and attractions in the parks, what could have (and should have) been, and the future of the Muppets in the Disney Parks.

CleanWDW Radio Show # 250 - November 27, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station | The Orange Bird and a new Disney Contest Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #250 for the week of November 27, 2011. In the past 40 years, we've seen some pretty interesting things at Walt Disney World: A waterskiing Goofy, gunfighters shooting it out in Frontierland, singing fruit, a rapping Mickey and much more. But until recently, many people couldn't recall seeing a character walking around in Adventureland with a giant orange head, leaves for arms and a green stem sticking out of his head. Today, of course, we fondly recall (and miss) the Little Orange Bird, and in this week's show, Jim Korkis and I will take a look back in time at the Sunshine Tree Terrace and it's one-time host (and hostess). We'll explore the origins of the Orange Bird, the Sherman Brothers song, why he and Anita Bryant may have flown the coop, and the recent resurgence of our little orange friend. I'll then pose a question for you to share your thoughts on as well. It's also been way too long since our last contest, so this week, so listen carefully for your chance to win a Disney prize package in my "Where in the World Have You Heard This?" Contest. I’ll have a few announcements, including the date and location of the next Meet of the Month in Walt Disney World, and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show.

CleanWDW Radio Show # 232 - July 24, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station | Interview with Pete Renaday, Disney voice actor (Country Bear Jamboree, 20,000 Leagues, TTA and more) Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #232 for the week of July 24, 2011. One of the things I enjoy doing on the show is recognizing and paying tribute to those people who have helped create the magic of the Walt Disney World parks that we enjoy today and have in the past. From Disney Legends to Imagineers, I feel fortunate to be able to share their stories in their own words. And this week, being able to hear from a person who has helped create some of that Disney magic is a real treat. From singing bears to an American President, his presence in the parks has been constant since Walt Disney World opened, and this week, I’m pleased to welcome Pete Renaday to the show. As Henry from the Country Bear Jamboree to President Lincoln and Captain Nemo, his career at the Disney Company started decades ago, and he shares his stories of meeting Walt Disney, working on animated films and his work in the theme parks. So just refrain from hibernatin’ and we'll all enjoy the show, cause he’s got a lot to give. I’ll have a few announcements before playing some of your voicemails at the end of the show.

CleanWDW Radio Show # 231 - July 17, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station | Hidden Treasure of Walt Disney World - Audio Tidbits in the Parks Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #231 for the week of July 17, 2011. Walt Disney World is a multi-sensory environment, on which we as guests are not merely passive viewers, but active participants on a three dimensional stage. As part of the environmental experience, Disney has created details that help set that stage, and not all of them are meant to be seen. Instead, many are meant to be heard, and throughout the parks there are numerous hidden treasures in the form of audio tidbits. This week, we’ll look at, and help you discover, many of those overlooked audio treasures that create such an immersive, detailed atmosphere. I’ll have a few announcements before playing some of your voicemails at the end of the show. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

CleanWDW Radio Show # 228 - June 26, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station | Interview with Disney Legend Jack Lindquist Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #228 for the week of June 26, 2011. During this past weekend’s 3rd annual PNW MouseMeet, a gathering of Disney fans in the Pacific Northwest, I had the privilege of not only attending once again, but the opportunity to sit down and interview another Disney Legend, and share that interview with you. Lack Lindquist joined the Disney Company just two months after Disneyland opened and during his nearly four decades with the company, held many roles, from public relations to being unexpectedly named the President of Disneyland. In addition to working directly with Walt Disney, Jack later went on to work on unique advertising concepts, EPCOT Center and many of his admittedly crazy ideas are still found in the parks today. I think you’ll enjoy getting a first-hand recount of the growth and development of the parks, and the Disney Company as a whole. I’ll have some announcements, and then play some of your voicemails at the end of the show.

CleanWDW Radio Show # 225 - June 4, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station | Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin - History, Secrets, Surprises and Stories Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #225 for the week of June 4, 2011. In Walt Disney World, the concept that “everything speaks” holds true not just for attractions and shows, but restaurants, environments and even the resorts. And with that, it means that everything see you encounter tells a story, and every detail has meaning, even in places you might not otherwise expect. And that holds true for the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. This week, we’ll take a very close look at the interesting history of these resorts, their theming, secrets, and myths that surround them as well. It’s a fascinating look into two buildings with a deeper Disney connection and story than you might expect.

CleanWDW Radio Show # 219 - April 24, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station | Partners Statue DSI: Disney Scene Investigation and Interview with the voice of Mickey Mouse, Bret Iwan Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #219 for the week of April 24, 2011. Walt Disney once said that he hoped that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse. This week, we’ll remember just that fact, as I have two segments that both involve Mickey Mouse. First, we’ll venture into the Magic Kingdom, and explore not an attraction, land, shop or show, but a single location. In fact, a single statute. In this week’s DSI: Disney Scene Investigation, we will look at the history and story behind the iconic Partners statue of Walt and Mickey, located in the central hub. The legacy of, and bond between Walt and Mickey goes far beyond one of simply artist and creation. In fact, Walt actually lent his voice to his most famous work as far back as 1929. Over the years, Walt passed that torch to other men who became the voice of Mickey, and this week, I have a chance to talk with Bret Iwan, the man, who eighty years after Mickey spoke his first words on screen, took over that role of a lifetime. We’ll talk about his personal story of becoming the voice of Mickey, the legacy, and the future. I’ll have some additional information for you, then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #218 for the week of April 17, 2011. An important part of our Disney vacations include not just the memories we return with, but sometimes the souvenirs, collectibles or gifts for others that we come home with as well.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #214 for the week of March 20, 2011. After more than a year of planning and anticipation, the WDW Radio Cruise on the Disney Dream set sail on February 27, 2011 for a fun adventure we’ll all never forget. This week, we’ll look back on the cruise, recap every day at sea, and discuss how a community of people, many of whom were complete strangers to one another, left as a family of great friends. We’ll also look ahead to doing it all again in 2012.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #213 for the week of March 13, 2011. Although I talk, usually at length, about taking time to slow down and appreciate all of Walt Disney World’s details, stories and overlooked experiences, I also understand that for many individuals and families, they have limited time to enjoy all of the shows and attractions in the parks. And although we all tour differently, it’s about maximizing your time and getting the most out of your vacation experience. This week, we’ll look at some tips to do just that, including how using an online resource at home and in the parks can help you save time and money on your next visit. I’ll have some announcements and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #212 for the week of March 6, 2011. Walt Disney World is filled with overlooked experiences, hidden treasures, and even a few, wonderful locations that are often missed by even the most seasoned guest. One such place can be found at the Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and is a quiet, cozy room filled with great stories and direct connections to Walt Disney. This week, we’ll visit and take a close look at the Carolwood Pacific Room. Filled with photos, trains, and some very intriguing pieces of authentic Disney history, it is both a museum honoring Walt Disney’s love of trains, as well as a quiet getaway. I’ll have a few important announcements about some upcoming events and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

CleanWDW Radio Show # 208 - February 6, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station | Disney's Wilderness Lodge - History, Stories and Details Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #208 for the week of February 6, 2011. When we talk about Walt Disney World, although often unnoticed by many guests, “everything speaks,” which means that everything we see and experience has and tells a story. From the attractions to the surroundings, there is meaning and reason behind their creation, and that also holds true for the Disney resorts. One of the very best examples of themed Imagineering, and storytelling based in reality is at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. From the story of the design, inspiration and creation of the Lodge itself, to the stories that the entire property tells, this week, Jim Korkis and I visit the resort and share the history of the Lodge, tour the lobby which has its own tale to tell, and explore the story behind the story of the Pacific Northwest resort I’ll have a few announcements including details about upcoming Meets of the Month in Walt Disney World, and then play some of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

| 133 | CleanVideoMidship Detective Agency game on the Disney Dream | Midship Detective Agency game on the Disney Dream One of the many technological innovations and surprises aboard the Disney Dream is something that may have been geared towards younger guests, but is being enjoyed by kids of all ages. The Midship Detective Agency game, located on Deck 5 near the atrium, combines interactive technology through Disney's "living" Enchanted Art throughout the ship, with a scavenger hunt and solving a mystery (well, actually two!) Mickey and his pals explain the mystery to you at a rolltop-desk kiosk, where you also pick up your card and casebook. From there, guests travel at their own pace and in any order around the ship, gathering clues, finding lost items, and weeding out suspects - all of which are Disney characters. Hold up your card to the artwork, and magic truly happens. The card is both a key as well as a tool, and part of the fun is using it to search through hidden areas of the paintings. Even if there's no clue to be found, waiting the artwork come to life with audio and video is unlike anything you've seen before. The Midship Detective Agency lets you and your family explore the Disney Dream, leading you to areas which you may not have visited otherwise. It's a fun way to spend some time together (or even alone) and playing at your own pace either on one day or over the entire voyage lets you enjoy it as you like.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #206 for the week of January 23, 2011. The newest and one of the most thrilling attractions in Walt Disney World immerses Guests in an experience that takes them deep into the story of the Harambe Wildlife Reserve, and even deeper into the wild. Disney’s Wild Africa Trek is a 3-hour, guided adventure that clips you into a harness and onto a lifeline as you traverse rickety bridges above crocodiles and hang over cliffs overlooking a hippo pool, all with spectacular views of the African savanna. I had a chance to go on this journey, and we’ll review this new species of Disney attractions in this week’s roundtable and bonus video content.

| 137 | CleanVideoRiding the AquaDuck on the Disney Dream Christening Cruise | Riding the AquaDuck on the Disney Dream Christening Cruise I had the opportunity to ride the AquaDuck (more than once!) on the Christening Voyage of the Disney Dream on January 19, 2011. I had read the releases, seen the concept art and computer-generated ride-throughs and thought I knew what to expect. I didn't! Disney has once again set the bar, exceeded expectations, and over-delivered on their promise of an attraction unlike any other! And while words can't describe the experience, neither can any video you might see, but I wanted to share part of my experience with you, as well as those of some friends who were on board with me - Chris Brogan (http://ChrisBrogan.com and http://Twitter.com/ChrisBrogan) and Andi S. from the Walt Disney World Moms Panel (http://DisneyWorldMoms.com and http://Twitter.com/wifeandmomuniv).

| 138 | CleanVideoWild Africa Trek at Disney's Animal Kingdom | Wild Africa Trek in Disney's Animal Kingdom The Wild Africa Trek is a unique wildlife experience into the deepest, most-remote reaches of Disney's Animal Kingdom. The three-hour, expert-led adventure immerses guests in the realms and wildlife thrills of far-off Africa -- without leaving Walt Disney World Resort. In small groups, guests on Wild Africa Trek enjoy an "up-close-and-personal" experience with African wildlife species that make their home in Pangani Forest as well as other areas of the park's Harambe Wildlife Reserve. Join host Lou Mongello as he takes you through a preview of this exciting new experience! As part of the adventure, guests clip onto a lifeline as they step to the very edge of a cliff to get amazingly close to the hippos and crocs waiting just below. Talk about cliff-hangers! Highlights of what's in store for guests on this add-on adventure: - Trekking with experienced guides through areas of Harambe Wildlife Reserve that aren't explored during regular Disney's Animal Kingdom experiences. - Navigating winding pathways through dense fern, bamboo and vine forests on a bushwalk that sets a course for adventure. - Clipping into a harness attached to a safety line, crossing a seemingly precarious rope bridge over the Safi River and cliff-hanging at the edge of gullies that are home to hippos and crocodiles. - After pausing at an overlook above the grasslands for breathtaking views, boarding customized open-air vehicles that course through the vastness of a magnificent savanna. Extended time is allotted for animal viewing with expert guides. - Unwinding from an unforgettable adventure at a private safari camp for viewing of wildebeest and giraffe, elephants and gazelles, eland and antelope. At this station elevated above the savanna, guests savor this panorama of wildlife and sample tastes of Africa as their adventure draws to a relaxing and satisfying close. Wild Africa Trek is offered several times daily at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Groups are kept small, consisting of no more than 12 trekkers per safari.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #205 for the week of January 16, 2011. This past weekend, more than 54,000 athletes from around the world descended on Walt Disney World, as many do year after year, not for the attractions, shows or dare I say even the wonderful dining options, but to run. And run a lot. The Walt Disney World Marathon weekend encompassed a series of endurance events, in which individuals came out to fulfill personal goals, experience the parks like never before, and for many, to make a difference in not just their own lives, but the lives of others. So on this week's roundtable, we'll look at the Walt Disney World Marathon as well as some other endurance events, and possibly introduce you to the idea that it's not just for athletes, but for friends and entire families as well. Whether you visit to run, cheer, volunteer or for your favorite charity, it's one of the most amazing experiences any Disney enthusiast can enjoy. I’ll have a few announcements, and then play some of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

CleanWDW Radio Show # 204 - January 9, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station | Live Restaurant Review of Todd English's BlueZoo Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #204 for the week of January 9, 2011. An important part of the Walt Disney World experience for me and many other people is enjoying the wide variety of dining options that are available. And while there are many tried and true favorites, there is also a large number of locations that are very much overlooked. This week, we explore what I believe is one of those restaurants. Located in the Walt Disney World Dolphin, Celebrity Chef Todd English’s BlueZoo offers fresh seafood in a spectacular setting where both the food and décor are works of art. We’ll do a live restaurant review of BlueZoo and let you share in our overall dining experience, as we also chat with our server, the General Manager, Sommelier, and Executive Chef. I’ll have a few announcements, and then play some of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #202 for the week of December 26, 2010. As we wander the promenade and explore the pavilions of World Showcase in Epcot, we find ourselves transported across the globe to exotic destinations around the world. In doing so, we are afforded the opportunity to share in and learn about the people and their culture through attractions, exhibits, their food and even direct communication with those that call these places home. But as we do so, sometimes we wonder just how much these pavilions actually reflect the regions upon which they are based. This week, we will explore one of these pavilions with guests who hail from the United Kingdom. We will wander the streets and tour the interiors of these buildings to look at how, how well, and why these landmarks and extraordinary details exist. I’ll have a few announcements and play some of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #188 for the week of September 19, 2010. This week, I’m pleased to welcome to the show a true Disney Legend, and someone whose name is synonymous with Disney history.

Dave joins me this week to discuss his career, including not just his role in the creation and legacy of the Archives, but its challenges, personal highlights, changes and his future, as he prepares to retire from this “temporary” job that lasted four decades. It’s a fascinating conversation not just about the Archives, but the person who made it a reality. I’ll have a few announcements and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #169 for the week of May 9, 2010. With the recent closing of Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D at Disney's Hollywood Studios for an unspecified update, it's a great time to take a look back at the relationship between Disney and the Muppets, including the story of how the Muppets came to Walt Disney World in a variety of ways. We'll tour the park and explore some of the secrets, stories and history of MuppetVision 3D, Muppet-based shows that are no longer here, the Disney-Henson marriage, as well as "The Muppets That Never Were," as Jim Korkis and I wander the Studios and discuss some of the proposed concepts that never made it both in and out of the parks. It's a fascinating live tour of the Muppets in the present, as well as a look back in time, and possibly even into the future of the Muppets in Walt Disney World. I'll have a few announcements, and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

CleanWDW Radio Show # 168 - May 2, 2010 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station | Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #168 for the week of May 2, 2010. We'll take a look at some Walt Disney World news and a few rumors this week, including some old favorites getting ready to return to the parks, and Imagineers continue to test new ways to pass the time in the queue, this time at a classic attraction in the Magic Kindgom. I'll ask you to comment in the show notes and weigh in on some possible changes that may be coming. I often kid about how attractions and shows in Walt Disney World are just things to occupy our time in between meals, but the parks and resorts do offer a wide variety of wonderful dining options - and not all of them require you to make dining reservations in advance. In fact, some of Walt Disney World's best food can be found at the numerous counter service locations. So this week, we'll count down our Top Ten list of Walt Disney World Counter Service Restaurants. If you weren't hungry when you started listening, you just might be by the time you're through. And hopefully we'll introduce you to some options that you might not have considered before. I'll have a few announcements, and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

And in keeping with the theme of Disney social media, I have an interview with Thomas Smith, Social Media Director for Disney Parks, and founder of the official Disney Parks blog. We'll discuss in depth not only the blog itself, but Disney's entrance and presence into the social media world, and how and why they are able to interact with Guests in a whole new way. I'll announce the answers and winner of last week's Walt Disney World Trivia Contest before playing more of your voicemails at the end of the show so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #146 for the week of November 22, 2009. Thank you for tuning in once again. Disney enthusiasts who enjoy the parks and films often look for other ways to continue the experiences as much and as often as possible. They look for ways to continue the stories beyond what they have already seen or heard. In some cases, they are fortunate enough to have the Characters and story lines go beyond the confines of the original, as in the case with what my guests this week have created. They are Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, bestselling authors of the Peter and the Starcatchers series of books, which recount the tales of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and Captain Hook in the days before the original novel and Disney animated film. I had a chance to sit down with them in Walt Disney World and get a close look inside the collaborative efforts these two creative talents brought together to chronicle the adventures of Peter Pan before he lost his shadow. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I wanted look at how and why you and your family might want to think about spending this traditional holiday in possibly an non-traditional place – Walt Disney World. We'll look at where you can spend your Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends, places to stay, and why now is a great time to visit the resort.

Thank you for tuning in once again.This week’s show looks at a unique Character Connection in Walt Disney World, as the individual in question may have been one found in Disney films, but was also one that started a cultural phenomenon, and was not really a character at all – but an historical American folk hero. Of course, he is Davy Crockett, and he and his trademark coonskin cap were popularized by Disney on TV in the mid-1950’s. He also has many connections to Walt Disney World as well, and this week I’m joined by one of the foremost experts on Davy Crockett and longtime Walt Disney World fan to explore his connections in and around the parks.

Walt Disney World is filled with some incredible, unique dining experiences, and this week, we visit Mexico's San Angel Inn, where the atmosphere is as wonderful as the cuisine. Modeled after a Mexican hacienda dating back to 1692, the restaurant sits in perpetual twilight on the banks of a river, across from a Mayan pyramid and ruins, and features authentic dishes evocative of traditional Mexican fare. This week, we offer a live review from inside the restaurant as we enjoy some of the Inn's appetizers, main courses, and of course, desserts, as our serve explains every aspect of the meal, and the culture to us along the way. It's a fun segment that I think will not only make you hungry, but will make you want to visit the restaurant and pavilion as well.

CleanWDW Radio Show # 140 - October 11, 2009 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station | Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. This is show #140 for the week of October 11, 2009. I am your host Lou Mongello, bringing a little bit of Disney magic to you each week in a fun, family-friendly show. Thank you for tuning in once again. We'll start off this week's show with some news and some rumors coming from Walt Disney World, including the introduction of a new ride, a new tour and a new princess. With the recent opening of the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco, and some recent reminiscing about the extinct Walt Disney Story on Main Street, USA, the importance of Walt Disney, the man came up, especially in relation to the Disney parks. And while there are many references to him throughout Walt Disney World, many people unfortunately overlook an attraction that is much more than an interactive museum, as Walt Disney: One Man's Dream is a tribute to the man who started it all, and an inspiration to future innovators.

But we as Guests never get to see what goes on after the parks have closed to really make that magic happen. Well this week, I’m going to try and help paint a picture of what goes on when the last Guest walks out of the gates, as I speak with managers of the horticultural and custodial cast. They explain just some of what goes on as the Magic Kingdom comes to new life overnight in the park.I just returned from Walt Disney World for some more research and to cover another Star Wars Weekends, but of course while there, a man’s gotta eat, right? So this week I’m going to try and experiment with something new, and a bit different. Join me on a literal roundtable, as a group of friends and I do a live, on-the-spot dining review of Mama Melrose’s at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We’ll talk about the menu, review the food, and chat with our server, who shares some of the backstory of the restaurant. It’s time to take a trip once again aboard my Walt Disney World Wayback Machine, as we’ll head back to the Magic Kingdom, but this time back in 1973, as we look at the graceful Plaza Swan Boats, which plied the waterways around Cinderella Castle. I’ll have another Walt Disney World trivia contest this week, but this time, it’s just a little bit different – with a different format and an all-new prize. Listen for more of your voicemails at the end of the show. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

And planning can and should go beyond just where to stay, when to eat and how to maximize your time in the parks.

I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #115 for the week of April 19, 2009. Thank you for tuning in again this week for some fun, family-friendly Disney magic.April showers may bring May flowers, and they also affect the vacations of Guests visiting Walt Disney World. And while many people look at the rain as something that will keep them stuck in their rooms, I look at it as a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the resorts and the parks, and maybe even a way to experience something that they never have before. This week, we’ll look at the Top Ten Things to Do In Walt Disney World when it Rains. I believe that each day, we are all motivated by our dreams, both big and small. For many people, dreaming to be a part of the magic that they enjoy today or even experienced and impacted them as a child fuels their passion. And for many people, that dream has or will come true. And for one of Disney’s most talented character artists, he believed in and followed his dream, and now he’s making magic for us as Guests. So I want to introduce you to Brian Blackmore, Character Artist for the Disney Design Group. He not only recounts his personal journey from childhood watching Uncle Walt, to working for the company he loves so much, to sharing advice and practical tips on how to possibly follow your own dream, and even work in a place that truly creates magic for others. I’ll have another Walt Disney World Trivia Contest this week, where I’ll test your knowledge of a classic Walt Disney World attraction… or two, before playing some of your voicemails at the end of the show.

I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #108 for the week of March 1, 2009. News from Walt Disney World starts off this week’s show, as we talk about how you can check in online before you arrive at your Disney resort, fun sporting events taking place this month, and a great way to spend an evening at the Flower Power Concert Series as part of Epcot’s International Flower & Garden Festival. I am happy to be joined this week on a roundtable discussion by some of the greatest moms around, for they are some of the members of the 2009 Disney Moms Panel. This group of real-world moms (and a dad) offer advice to Guests traveling to Walt Disney World through an interactive Q&A site at DisneyWorldMoms.com. The moms join me to talk about the experience, some tips, some interesting questions they’ve received and lots more. It’s a fun conversation with some people who share our passion and get to help others with their questions. I talk all the time about how Disney World is for everyone and how accommodating they are to so many people. What many don’t realize is that Disney also helps to recognize and help those people who serve the United States through military and uniformed service. Through a variety of programs, offerings and daily ceremonies, Disney makes it easy and affordable for military families to enjoy all that Walt Disney World has to offer. Staff Sergeant Mitch Brannen joins me to talk about the military’s private resort on property, discounts and benefits for the military and their families, as well as an often-overlooked, yet wonderful daily ceremony in the parks that every Guest should enjoy. I’ll announce the winner of last week’s Walt Disney World trivia contest and give you the answer to the questions, and give you another opportunity this week to test your knowledge for a chance to win a prize package.

I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #103 for the week of January 25, 2009. I’ll start off this week with some news from Walt Disney World, including some information about new interactive experiences coming to the parks, as well as the upcoming Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. Walt Disney World is a place where anyone and everyone can feel like a kid again, make their dreams come true, and enjoy all of what makes it so truly magical. And when I say everyone, I mean just that, as Disney is one of the best, most accommodating vacation spots for people with special needs. In this week’s very special roundtable, I’m joined by a number of guests, some of whom are authors of books about traveling to and touring around Walt Disney World with special needs, while others have unique needs of their own. And if you think that this segment might not apply to you or someone you know, you might be very surprised about what you’ll hear. My next interview is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. In response to a number of questions I received about this very topic, I’m going to talk about Walt Disney World, and its connection to the breakup of the Beatles. You might not know about how the two are linked, but I’m joined by May Pang, companion to John Lennon, who will talk about what took place at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, as well as John’s visits to Walt Disney World with his son. It’s an interesting look back at some of the private times of a celebrity in Walt Disney World, and the historic event that took place there. I’ll announce the winner of last week’s Walt Disney World trivia contest, and will challenge you once again this week with yet another contest! I’ll have some announcements and then play back some of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

January 8-11, 2009 marks the 26th annual Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, where 40,000 runners will test their endurance during a number of races throughout the weekend, including a half and full marathon. But in addition to the athletes, there is expected to be an additional 40,000 people converging on the Walt Disney World Resort to cheer on family, friends, and even complete strangers. And while I’ve done shows on training and preparing for the marathon, as well as a recap from a participant’s perspective, there has been little in the way of tips and strategies for spectators. This week, I’m joined by running and cheering veteran Bill Muldowney to discuss the best ways to get the most out of the experience if you will be going down to cheer, including the best ways to get around, where you should be and when, and how to be sure you not only see your runners, but they get to see you as well. In a new Best of the Best segment, we’ll take a look at the Best Affordable Souvenir, and arguably the most Affordable Collectible in Walt Disney World. Disney dad Chuck Lionberger joins me to talk about searching for and collecting Pressed Pennies in and out of the parks. It’s an inexpensive, fun thing to do with everyone in the family, and we’ll give you different ways to find, collect, display and enjoy these wonderful little souvenirs.

I’ll also tell you where and when you can go meet Santa, and the reopening of new, old shops in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I just returned from Walt Disney World, and brought back some audio segments that I think you’ll enjoy. First, I had a chance to visit and have a personal tour of the new Nine Dragons restaurant in China in Epcot’s World Showcase. Having recently opened after a long refurbishment, we discuss the changes to the restaurant’s décor and menu, as well as explore its cultural heritage and beautiful, rich symbolism located throughout. I also had a wonderful opportunity to sit and chat with a man whose work for the Walt Disney Company I have admired for some time, and whose new book afforded me an even greater appreciation of not just the man, but the lessons he is now sharing with others. Lee Cockerell, former Executive Vice President of Operations at the Walt Disney World Resort talk with me in the park about his background, work with and for the Company, and his new book, "Creating Magic: 10 Common Sense Leadership Strategies From a Life at Disney." It’s a fascinating look at the work, and more importantly the people backstage that make the magic for us as Guests. Mr. Cockerell offers practical, real-world advice, coupled with wonderful stories from his tenure at Disney that people can use in their everyday life. I’ll announce the winner of last week’s Carousel of Progress contest, and give you the question for this week’s contest, where I’ll be giving away 5 prizes instead of just one!I’ll give you a hint at what’s to come in future shows, before playing your voicemails, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #90 for the week of October 26, 2008. Timing is everything, and this week I have two segments for you that I chose just for that reason. With the upcoming Presidential election, I thought it would be a great opportunity to take a detailed look at the Magic Kingdom’s Hall of Presidents. It’s an attraction rich in history, unique in concept and is unfortunately often overlooked. Kristen Helmstetter, who wrote her Honors Thesis on this attraction, joins me to discuss its history, story, changes and importance. In my next segment, we’ll celebrate the Halloween season, along with one of our all-time favorite attractions, as Tim Foster and I take a fun look at the Top Ten Things We Love About the Haunted Mansion. With so much to enjoy and appreciate about this timeless classic, Top 10 might be a bit of a misnomer on this one. I’ll have more updates at the end of the show, as well as some of your voicemails, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show. You can email the show at lou@wdwradio.com or call the voicemail TOLL FREE at 888-703-2171. Visit the web site at wdwradio.com.

CleanWDW Radio Show # 89 - October 19, 2008 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station | Hello and welcome once again to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #89 for the week of October 19, 2008. I just returned from Walt Disney World, where I was covering a number of special events for the show. I was able to attend and bring you audio from the opening of the new Cast Member Wellness Center and speak with Walt Disney World President Meg Crofton and worldwide parks operations president Al Weiss, as well as the 2009 Walt Disney World Ambassador ceremony and meet the two new Ambassadors. I also attended a sneak peek of the new T-Rex Café in Downtown Disney, and will bring you a little something different from that event this week. I’ll have more News and a quick visit to the Walt Disney World Rumor Mill. I’ll introduce a new segment this week called “How to Be an Imagineer,” in response to the question I’ve received quite often over the past few years. Disney Imagineer Ed Romeo joins me to talk about his story and journey to become an Imagineer, as well as what working at and for Imagineering was like. This interview will be the first of hopefully many that will help prove to you that the road to becoming an Imagineer might not necessarily be the path you think. I’ll have more updates at the end of the show, just sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #88 for the week of October 12, 2008.We’re going to start off this week with our tribute to the Adventurer’s Club. And rather than just a look at what it was, its rooms and shows, we’re going to explore the Club like never before, because if you think you knew everything there was to know about the Adventurer’s Club, you might be a bit surprised. Joining me this week is world-renowned Disney historian and author Jim Korkis, who is going to share his exhaustive research into the history and details of the Club, and the stories behind the stories. We’ll go way back and examine it from the very beginning, from concept, to drawing board changes, its creators, design and so much more. Moving from one party to another, we’ll next head on over to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, as George Taylor and I tell you all about this special event, what you can do while you’re there, tips to get the most out of the party, and why we think this is one of Walt Disney World’s best events. I’ll play more of your voicemails at the end of the show after some a few announcements, so just sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

A suberb podcast...
...with high production values, insightful segments & great guests. Great for all ages too, as kids will enjoy rumours and tips about the parks, and us adults will enjoy the history and behind-the-scenes information. Thank you Lou for this must-listen podcast!
Excellent Podcast
This podcast gives you varying pieces of information for all parts of Walt Disney World. The "Rumour" section is very good. If you're thinking of going to Disney or just want an update on anything to do with Walt Disney World this is the best podcast for you.
