You may think I’ve done this one before, because I thought I had, but I was wrong! A while back, I had a Word of the Week titled “Carrousel.” The two R’s tipped me off that that show was about the carousels, or merry-go-rounds in WDW and Disneyland. This week’s Word of the Week is all about the Carousel of Progress!

No one tells better stories than Disney. To tell a great story, you need great characters. Check out our Top Ten Disney Attraction Characters!
So, you know how your teachers always used to tell you to save your documents as you went and to back them up? I should’ve listened to them! This week we recorded a fun podcast all about our Top Ten Disney Villains of all time. Somehow, some way, that show was erased and can not be recovered.
My Mac crashed and with it went my latest podcast episode. Instead of the full show, I’m sharing my favorite ever answer from Bob Gurr!
When thinking of Walt Disney World and Disneyland, “scary” isn’t one of the first words that probably comes to mind.

Check out the Word of the Week – Halloween Tree.
Have you heard of the Halloween Tree? Do you know where to find it? I’ll answer those questions and more on this week’s show!
The Disney theme parks normally step up to the plate and hit it out of the park. Most attractions, restaurants, lands and stores are big hits with Disney fans everywhere. But what happens on the rare occasion when Disney gets it wrong? I’ll talk all about that one Episode 139: Biggest Disney Park Flops.
Disney normally hits everything out of the park. But, once in a while, they don’t. For every five Flights of Passage there’s one Stitch’s Supersonic Celebration.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has changed more than any other Disney theme park.

We’ve lost a lot over the years and that’s exactly what we’ll be talking about on Episode 138: Top Ten Things We Miss in Hollywood Studios.

I love learning about the history of Walt Disney World. That’s why when I had the chance to spend an evening hanging out with Disney Legend Bob Gurr, I jumped at the opportunity.
