First on the show is a quick tribute to Robert Sherman, half of the Sherman brothers. Then, its an announcement about a celebration of Disney Legend Bob Gurr. And finally, I welcome my 1,000th TWitter Follower, Jennifer (a/k/a @DizBuzz) to talk about Disney. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
This episode is fairly simple: I take a ride on the WDW railroad, then hang out in the evening. Check out some of The Main Street Electrical Parade, and hear some thoughts and comments as I wander the park. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
Walter Cronkite's relationship with Disney and Disney World is not really that deep. Aside from appearing as the host of Epcot, and narrating Space Ship Earth, his other two notable contributions were the introduction to animation at the Studios, and appearing as the host of Holiday Illuminations. But he did appear in a few TV specials where he talked about his love of Disney --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
The second host of SpaceShip Earth is the one most people remember as being the voice of the attraction - and really the voice of Epcot. Of course, he's uncle Walter - Walter Cronkite. Respected as a journalist, Cronkite adds a certain authority to the audio. On this show, its Walter's narration of SpaceShip Earth. His voice could be heard from 1986-1995, but to me he will always be *the* voice of the attraction. This was certainly the version I enjoyed the most. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
This podcast is a look back at the history, design, and construction of Epcot's signature icon. I talk about what it took to make a complete dome, and how they did it. I start off with the history of domes, then discuss some the engineering, math, and science that makes it work. And then move to the show itself and that attention to detail. Finally, I present the original audio (pre Walter Cronkite) for the show. From Lost EPCOT --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
Today I have a small correction to a previous podcast on the country bears. Then, its on to Disney news. Some things to consider about 24 hours of magic, Obama visits Disney without his daughters!, new test track, and more. I mention Xpass technology as something Disney is considering (see about half way down the page). I'm not sure what form this will take, but I can only hope that its not completely elitist and leaves out the "day guest". We'll see, of course. And at the end of the show, I welcome you to my site DisneyPodcast.net and to follow me on twitter . --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
This podcast was recorded on a trip last year. I head into several attractions, and present the ride audio for you. But of course, I have to give my thoughts about some of the things I see and do. Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
On this week's show, I welcome Sam Gennawey to the podcast. Sam authored "Walt and the Promise of Progress City" (which is available on Amazon), a look at what might have been - Progress City or the Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow. Sam did his research and has some interesting insights into Walt's idea. Sam happened to be conducting some research at DisneyLand, and was in the park's parking lot while we chatted. His book is available at Amazon Sam also runs a blog at http://samlanddisney.blogspot.com/, and is a columnist at Mice Chat --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
Today, I'm talking about Pin Trading. I follow the history and answer: How did it start? And roll around to : How do I do it? Its pretty thorough except for one simple thing that I failed to mention: green lanyards on CastMembers means they trade only with children. I also delve into what you might trade, different types of pins that are available to trade, and even where you might get some pins a little cheaper to get you started. Its a fun activity that really doesn't cost much and is easy to get home. As for me, I don't trade, but I do have a couple of pins, including the 5-legged goat that appears on the mural in the Contemporary. Of course there are CastMembers who can help you, and some signage that gives the quick overview: You can also visit a couple of websites to help you: Disney's overview PinPics - an anthology of pins Wikipedia All Ears Pin Trading Guide --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
This the story about the Country Bears, and in particular the Holiday Hoedown show. I give some insights into the attraction, and play the audio for you. The show ran from 1984 until about 2000, and was a bit of fun. The entire building was redecorated, and the bears were wearing holiday costumes. And the script and songs were different. It was kind of fun to get into the holiday spirit. For me personally, it was always fun to try and time a visit so I could catch the show, since it had a limited run. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
Back in 1992, when I was a CastMember, I had the pleasure of working over the holidays. This podcast is a story about that time, and in particular my experience on New Year's eve. It was a really fun time, and I still remember it fondly - so I thought I'd share the story. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
The holidays are back! The decorations are back at the Walt Disney World resort, and the fun begins. Join me as I welcome Curt to the podcast. We talk about some of the fun things you can do while at the resort. Sure there's Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, but there are plenty of other things to do and see - from stories at each country at Epcot, to decorations at the various resorts, to the Osborne Family Lights. Come along and listen to some of the things you can enjoy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
This podcast is News from around WDW, including info about the FantasyLand expansion in the Magic Kingdom, Epcot's new park entry system using RFID technology, and changes at the Animal Kingdom. Plus some news from D23, a quick look at the new Muppet Movie, and a final update on the monorail accident. I reference a few things in the podcast, and here are links for you: https://youtu.be/V1xNeyNC0rc The NTSB's final report on the Monorail accident is can be found on the NTSB website. During the discussion, I quote "a blogger"...his work can be found here. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
This podcast is a trip into the tiki room. Hear a little info about it, then come along and listen to the preshow, followed by the full show. Please Enjoy! I have to say that I am really glad they've restored this to something more interesting/appropriate. I really was not a fan of the "Under New Management" silliness. Bye bye Iago. Bye bye Zazu! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
This podcast is an audio exploration of the Animal Kingdom. I go through the park, and give some thoughts about what I see and experience - and I play some attraction audio for you. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
