Fire up your Disney+ and get your iPhone ready, it's time to watch Mr. Boogedy with me!
I first heard about Mr. Boogedy around last Halloween. The Disney cult classic was first aired in 1985 but somehow I missed it over the years. Maybe it was too scary and my parents kept it off the TV or maybe we just didn't have the right channel back then. Either way, this year I decided to finally watch it and ask you, the listener, to watch it with me!
Disney has brought us some very famous dogs in movies and television over the years. We've been inundated with Goofy, Pluto, 101 Dalmatians, and many more. But what about those dogs that are in the Disney theme parks that no one ever talks about? Those dogs that have been in the background of our favorite attractions for years, just waiting to be thanked! That's why this week's show is all about those under appreciated pups! I hope you enjoy this week's Word of the Week - Dogs!
Goofy & Pluto aren't the only dogs who should be appreciated in Walt Disney World and Disneyland!
Three words: Return. To. Oz. And that nightmare fuel is just the tip of the scary iceberg this week!
Over the years, Disney has given its fans many intentionally scary things. From the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror to Space Mountain to Mr. Boogedy, Disney's had it's fair share of real scares. Then there are the scary things in the parks, movies, and TV that aren't scary on purpose...they're just, scary! I hope you enjoy Episode 213: Unintentionally Scary Disney!
Back by popular demand this week is a three part podcast series all rolled into one episode. Back to the Speedway the Complete Series is a first person story set in Walt Disney World in both the present and the past. I’ve had a lot of positive feedback on these episodes and combining them into one full show is a great way for new listeners to listen and for listeners who’ve been around for a while to relive the adventure!
What happens when Disney Legend Bob Gurr tells me about time travel technology that not only exists in the world, but was hidden in plain view in a WDW theme park? Listen in and find out!
Walt Disney was a visionary who often would do things that didn’t make a lot of sense to those who worked with him. I’ve read a story where he had workers at Disneyland pave over a beautiful flower garden that guests were walking through instead of putting a fence around it. He told anyone who would listen that obviously there was a reason why the guests were walking through those flowers and that he wanted to make it easier for the guests to get where they were going. This story is a bit like that. I hope you enjoy this week’s Word of the Week – Spire.
Why is there a 19th century gold spire on top of Sleeping Beauty castle? It all goes back to Walt Disney’s vision.
