Dave’s Disney view

  This episode is simply the audio from the Hall of Presidents. Another time, I will have to look into this attraction in some detail.    But for now, enjoy Morgan Freeman talking about our story and the 44 men who have held the highest office in this country. And here from some of them, including our current president.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

 Dave is back to answer your Disney questions. This week the questions range from how to retrieve photopass photos after "expriation"?, to what to do with an extra day - maybe Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party?, and whether Disney's Visa card is worthwhile? Also: how will someone with special needs be accomodated? And there's a fairly lengthy answer to a question obout Disney's future plans for the monorail. Keep the questions coming! davesdisneyview@gmail.com With regard to the monorail question, its "complicated" and I went through many sources to try and get a satisfactory answer - but I don't think there is one...for now! For special needs questions, here are a couple of resources: http://allears.net/pl/special.htm http://www.diz-abled.com/ http://www.disneyguide.com/disney-world-guide-for-guests-with-disabilities/  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

 Because we are getting close to Halloween, I wanted to talk about one of my favorite attractions in the Magic Kingdom: the Haunted Mansion. Joining me on this podcast is Kristi Petersen Schoonover who has her own blog http://kristipetersenschoonover.com which delves into the infamous Mansion and the stories behind the story, and more. Its a fun look at something that is appropriate for this time of year. Along the way, we discuss a site called http://davelandweb.com/ in which that Dave shows pictures of items in the Haunted Mansion. You can find her book at Amazon.   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

 This show is all about Hidden Mickeys! What are they? How did they get there? What's the history behind them? How can I find them? Essentially, they are images of the famous mouse "hidden in plain sight" by imagineers. Its a fun look at something else you can do at the Disney theme parks. But that's not all! I also created an iPhone app to store and share Hidden Mickeys in a community environment. You can play around with it - or if you don't have an iphone (or have photos you want to share that aren't on your phone) you can visit the community site at http://disneypodcast.net/hidden-mickey  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

Its time for another round of Disney news. This week, I look a little outside of Walt Disney World, and talk about Aulani and the Disney Cruise Line, before returning "home." I've got some info about Avatar, some new in-park experiences, the Verizon app, and Cirque du Soleil. I've also got a clip of Roy's dedication speech from 40 years ago.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

 Over the summer, the family took a trip to Disney - simply to enjoy the water parks. I talk about both of the parks, and tell some stories about our trip. One of the coolest things has to be the view from the top of Teamboat Springs - from there you can see all 4 of Disney's Theme Parks. The water parks are a hoot, and I highly recommend visiting them.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

 On this episode, I focus on DisneyLand with the help of a guest - Shelby who is your blog host on http://myyearwiththemouse.com. She is a frequent guest to the park (and lives the dream of being so close she can see the fireworks from her kitchen!) and fellow Disney fan. Find out why the site is named that, as we give some (deserved) love to the park that started it all. And even if you haven't been to DisneyLand in a long time (like me), you can still appreciate what its all about. Incidentally, Shelby was a contestant on NPR's "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me" and won Carl's voice on her voicemail.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

 I didn't want to miss these two attractions. I really liked *Listen* to the land, with its guided tour (hey there's a podcast for the future!), but this one isn't half bad. Come along as I ride it. And Captain EO is a classic. Sure the technology is now old, and the 80s vibe shines through the costuming. But its fun and worth visiting again.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

 On this episode, I take a ride on SpaceShip Earth. Come along and listen to your host, Judi Densch, tell the tale of communications. And hear my comments on a few things as well. I also take a listen to the Spanish version, and find a hidden Mickey.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

 On this episode, I present audio from Epcot's World Showcase...back in March, we took a trip to visit the world, and I made sure to tell a few stories, and capture some ride audio as we went along. Enjoy!  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

 On this episode, I present audio from Epcot's Future World...back in March, we took a trip to visit the world, and I made sure to capture some ride audio as we went along. Enjoy the ride along!  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

 Welcome to the latest Disney News. I have an update on the Hyperion Wharf area, Disney's Art of Animation Resort, and FantasyLand expansion. Then, I've got information about the Food and Wine fest, and some info about upcoming events. Enjoy! A couple of links I mention on the show: Food & Wine Festival Map and Guide Disney Mom's Panel information Jay TV .net This is the site to learn more about and sign up for the show "My Yard Goes to Disney"  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

 On this episode, I look back at the Kitchen Kabaret, a long-gone attraction in EPCOT's Land Pavillion. It was in the genre of the Country Bear Jamboree, and was a cute look at nutrition and the basic food groups. Plus there was a catchy tune - veggie, veggie, fruit!, fruit! - that made it memorable. So come hear all about it, and listen to the attraction audio. I'd like to throw a plug out the for Mike Lee and his hard work putting together a lot of information about the attraction. You can visit him on the web at http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/kk.htm  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

 Dave and Curt are back to answer more of your Disney questions. What's a family to do, when they love Disney but want to see the Harry Potter exhibit? And, we talk about the Illuminations cruise options to celebrate a big anniversary. Too bad the Breathless suffered a "career ending injury" and is no longer in service. But there are still pontoon boats, and other options. Or you could dream big and rent the luxury yacht at the Grand Floridian for a Fireworks cruise. At the end of the show, Curt brings up a point that I tend to think like relative local, and prefer short more-frequent trips, where most visitors like to take in the whole Disney experience on less-frequent trips.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

Dave is back to answer your Disney questions, and this time I've brought some help! Curt and I take on some of the questions I've been asked recently. Its a show that's so big, I had to break it into two parts! In this part, We talk about thanksgiving, the weather in late summer, fun things to do with kids in EPCOT, and what's a Disneyland vet to do in WDW?  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message
