Wdw-memories: Relive That Walt Disney World Magic

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. Ok, so it’s official. I’m heading to Orlando in June. Yes it’s for a convention at the Orange County Convention Center, but I can’t travel that far and not see the parks. So I will figure out a way to make it there, even if it’s for a day or just an evening. Maybe I’ll even plan a time to meet up with any of you who might be there at the same time, but no official plans yet. If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know. Anyways, this really has nothing to do with today’s memory. Today, we’re going to relive one of those polarizing attractions again, Mission: Space. I say polarizing because I know people love to hate this attraction because it replace the beloved Horizons. I think Dan said it best in a tweet when he said “noooooooooooooooooooo, That took over for the best attraction in WDW...” I agree with Dan, but I won’

Well I’ve got some exciting news. Well not news really, but it could be. So Traci and I were talking this week, and we’ve both got the itch to return to Walt Disney World. Now it so happens that work might be sending me down to Orlando for one of two conventions this year, and if it works out, Traci may accompany me down just for a couple of days before the convention begins, and we’ll probably go to Walt Disney World for a day or two. So I may have some new audio to start incorporating into the memories. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2012/02/24/memory-062/

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. Let me start off with an apology. Two weeks ago, my extended family all returned back to the home we grew up in to celebrate Christmas and my Dad’s birthday. It was a wonderful weekend, but in the process of planning and packing for the trip I totally forgot that I was supposed to release a podcast. I had contemplated putting something out, but after returning things were just crazy and I never got around to it. So that brings us to this weeks memory. This week, we’re going to listen to some older memories of a troupe of performers that can often be found in the United Kingdom, and on occasions, Italy in Epcot’s World Showcase. If you haven’t guessed it, we’re going to listen to the World Showcase Players. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2012/02/10/memory-061/

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. Well so it’s been a few weeks since I last released a podcast, but I first wanted to start off by saying Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas or whatever you celebrate. Our family had an interesting one to say the least, but I’d have to say I love watching my kids open up the gifts we got them, and then playing with everything while watching the Disney Christmas Parade on TV was probably the highlight of my day.

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. Merry Christmas! I love this time of year, snow, presents, time off... what could be better. I know, MUPPETS! Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2011/12/25/memory-059/

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. So today kind of snuck up on me. As I went to bed last night I realized I had never sent out a message seeking comments on Twitter, Google+, or Facebook. So sorry about that folks, but I figured you’d rather have podcast. So I’m just rolling with the initial request I’ve got. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2011/12/09/memory-058/

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. With Thanksgiving being celebrated here in the United States, my time has been completely consumed. We’re cleaning and cooking, picking up family and laughing at the kids. It’s a time of joy and... well... thankfulness. I thought what better thing to be thankful for than good music, and patriotic music at that. So today I’m going to visit a memory I haven’t shared yet, the Voices of Liberty. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2011/11/25/memory-057/

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. Well like last week, I’m scrambling to get caught up. I think the recent changes to Google+ have taken too much of my attention, and now I’m behind in my planning for our next memory. So I actually had to get up early this morning and still write the script before I could even record. Thankfully it’s about some recordings I’m very familiar with.

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. So this week got turned on it’s perverbial ear, and I sadly didn’t get to ask you what you thought about our next featured memory, so instead I’m going to update a previous memory. Today we’re going to stick with the time of year we’re about to celebrate and catch a new ride on the Haunted Mansion. This time, the sound system has been upgraded, and you’ll really hear the affects. It’s much improved over the recording I featured on Memory 019.

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. Well as you know, Walt Disney World and specifically the Magic Kingdom turned 40 this past week. Sadly I wasn’t able to swing a trip down there to attend the festivities, though from what I’m reading and seeing from the day, I’m not sure I missed much. Still, it’s a time to celebrate and remember these 40 special years, and what better way than through you the listeners. So I threw the question out on Twitter and Facebook and got some great responses. I’m not going to read all of them, but if you’d like to see what others had to say, stop by our Facebook page (you can find the link on the WDW-Memories.net website).

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. I can’t believe what I just witnessed. I’m a huge sports fan, and in particular a baseball fan. Sadly my team, the Orioles have been out of it since opening day, but waking up this morning to find out they played spoiler, in addition to Tampa pulling off the comeback of the season to clinch the wild-card... just an awesome morning. But this podcast isn’t about baseball, it’s about one of my other great passions, Disney. And today, we’re going to be revisiting a polarizing attraction, one that seems to have many lovers and haters. We’re going to be catching a ride on DINOSAUR.

Today’s memory was requested by Bret in Chicago, IL. His original email from January 2010 said: I went on my first trip without the bulk of my family this past June, and my brother told me about your podcasts while we were there, I've been listening to them on and off since then and especially the past few days... I was wondering if you had a recording of Pirates of the Caribbean before it was changed to add Jack Sparrow. It has been one of my favorites since I was little, even before all the movies, so I'd love to get a refresher as it used to be. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2011/09/16/memory-052/

It’s another early morning here in my “studio” and once again, I’m up before the sun. But thankfully today, we’re going back to a memory that is full of enough energy and happiness that it’s sure to pick me up. Today, we’re going to return to Frontierland to watch the Country Bear Jamboree. I know some of you are probably thinking “didn’t he already do that?”. Well not really. In Memory 042, we did get to see a special Christmas edition of the attraction, but I still haven’t fulfilled the request for the traditional show audio. So it’s time I did that.

It’s finally here, 50 shows. It seems like only yesterday I began this podcasting journey. In reality it’s been almost 5 years. You may not know this, but I released my first episode back on September 21, 2006. I started out with good intentions, hoping every week I would release a new show, but I quickly realized that took far more free time than I had, and I quickly attempted to switch to a bi-weekly format. Sadly over the years I’ve released on a very inconsistent schedule, and that get’s us to where we are today, 50 shows (plus some bonus ones) in 5 years, but I’ve hopefully found a rhythm now, and feel like things are getting more consistent. And it seems to be paying off too, as our numbers are starting to grow. So I thought I’d take this moment to welcome all my new subscribers, and maybe reintroduce myself and this show.

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. In September 2010, my family (consisting of my dad, sister, Traci, and Susie) all went to Walt Disney World for the day. This was Susie's first trip into a Walt Disney World park, and she loved it. Today's podcast is a 3 parter. First we're going to relive the day with various audio clips from the park as I recount the days activities.

I’m not sure about you, but it’s hot here. We’re in the midst of a record heatwave, something that reminds me a lot of Walt Disney World, and in my opinion the hottest of the parks, Disney’s Animal Kingdom. However, thanks to modern technology, our memory today can be enjoyed from the comfort of a highly air-conditioned room, sipping your favorite cool beverage. What’s worse (and thankfully I never experienced this) our memory today is of a show that used to be in an outdoor arena in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. I’m speaking of course of Festival of the Lion King. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2011/07/22/memory-048/

We’re rolling along through our request list still, and it’s feeling good. I’ve had so many requests over the years, and I’m glad to finally be getting caught up. And to celebrate the United States Independence Day, let’s visit that very patriotic pavilion... Mexico in Epcot. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2011/07/08/memory-047/

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. Watch out, I’m on a roll here folks. It’s been only two weeks and I’m back with yet another Memory. At this rate, I might be caught up on my requests by... oh... next year. Ok, so I’ve still got a ways to go, but this is a good start right? So this is yet again another “old” request. Initially, Chris (our requester from Memory 45) also requested this attraction back in 2009. Since then, I’ve received another request from Andy in NY for a recording of “it’s a small world” from before 2000 (which unfortunately I don’t have).

Hey, it’s been only 2 weeks and I’m already putting out a new show. I know... it’s a miracle. Well I know how much you all appreciate the shows, so I really want to keep this momentum going. So I’ve got my coffee, my computer is warmed up, and the audio is ready to roll, now let’s get this going. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2011/06/10/memory-045/

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. I firstly have to apologize for my lack of posts, both on the blog and on the podcast. I think it would be an understatement for me to simply say that life has gotten busy. Between a 5 month old who is now teething, and a 3 year old who has patiently waited for daddy to complete her new swing set, there has been little free time to write and record a new podcast. So I’m trying something new. Instead of my daily 5AM trip to the gym, this week I’m going to try and record an episode and hopefully be able to edit it down during breaks, in order to get it out sooner rather then later. So if I sound a little groggy still, that’s the reason. So let’s get to the reason we’re all listening. Today’s memory will be one that was requested quite a while ago, and by a few people. Today, we’re going to take a ride on Living With The Land. I hav
