In Walt Disney World, the headliners get all of the attention. Attractions like Space Mountain and restaurants like Be Our Guest are always the first places where people like me will tell you to go while in the park. This week I wanted to focus a little more on the things that have been around for quite a while but are still fantastic on Episode 95: Walt Disney World Oldies But Goodies.
I have a secret: It’s not always the newest attractions and restaurants in WDW that are the most memorable experiences. We’ll clue you in on the places in WDW that are true Disney Classics!
Walt Disney always wanted a haunted house, a graveyard, and a cemetery in his theme park. The problem was, how would a scary attraction fit into his pristine Disneyland? I’ll talk about all of that and more on this week’s Word of the Week – Mansion.
What’s the true backstory of the Haunted Mansion? Who is Captain Gore? Who is Priscilla? You want answers? I’ll give you answers!
Walt Disney World, like Disneyland before it, has always been known as a family-friendly, magical place to visit. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t have spooky or even downright scary places scattered throughout it’s massive footprint. It’s all about the scary and Halloween on Episode 94: Top Ten Spooky Places in WDW!
One dark, stormy night long ago, when hinges creaked in doorless chambers, we recorded our Spookiest Places in Walt Disney World.
The first human audio-animatronic figure made its debut at the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair. From the title of this episode of the show, you’ve probably already realized which person that audio-animatronic represented. I’ll take a look at the 16th President & first fully audio-animatronic human figure on this week’s Word of the Week – Lincoln.
Due to a malfunction, Walt Disney was once blamed by a guest for re-enacting the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. That’s just the first couple of minutes of this show!
Walt Disney World’s Value Resorts are very polarizing. Some guests who have stayed in them love them and will never stay in any Moderate or Deluxe Resort. I’ve heard others say they tried them and will never stay there again. That’s why this week I wanted to talk all about the good, the bad, and the not very ugly of the Values on Episode 93: Pros & Cons of WDW Value Resorts.
Should you stay in a Value Resort on your vacation to Walt Disney World? I’ll give you the honest breakdown of what you can expect.
One of Disney’s “Nine Old Men,” Ward Kimball was already a Disney Legend by the time he was in his late 20’s. He’d worked on classic animated films like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and many more. But it was his hobby away from work that may have made his biggest contribution to Disney history. Check out the Word of the Week – Kimball.
Disney Legend Ward Kimball’s biggest contribution to the history of the Disney Company just might have been a hobby that he worked on in his backyard.
I talk a big game these days. I’m a former cast member, I’ve been to WDW countless times, and I have done so much research it would make NASA scientists jealous. But there was a day when I was a new, first-time visitor to Walt Disney World and I knew absolutely nothing. That’s who this episode is meant for. Hopefully Episode 92: First WDW Trip Must-Do’s can really help out some first timers!
I’ve heard the question an awful lot: What do I NEED to do on my first trip to Walt Disney World? This week we try to narrow it down for the first-timers with things you can’t miss on your first WDW trip.
The Country Bear Jamboree has been entertaining Magic Kingdom guests since the opening day of Walt Disney World, October 1, 1971. But how much do you know about this classic show? Find out more on this week’s Word of the Week – Jamboree.
The classic Disney show Country Bear Jamboree was not designed to fit into Magic Kingdom. It wasn’t even designed to fit into Disneyland. Listen in…the origins of the show might surprise you!
Walt Disney Animation’s films have many things that make them memorable: amazing music, captivating villains, brave heroes and many more. One sometimes overlooked character in Disney’s movies can often play the most important role. That’s why this week’s show is all about the Top Ten Disney Sidekicks.
Heroes get all the praise and princesses get all the love, but a perfect sidekick can take a great film and make it unforgettable.
