Join myself and Superdry as we make our way through the streets of Hong Kong and onto the metro system headed to Sunny Bay Station which connects to the Hong Kong Disneyland line. The one and only stop, of course, is Hong Kong Disneyland. Afterwards, I make my exciting steps onto property thus marking the end to my Disney Park World Tour. Looking back, I visited all 11 of the Disney Parks across the world in under a years time. Here is a run down of that busy year of travel:

May 08 - Disneyland (2 parks)
July 08 - Tokyo Disney (2 Parks)
Sept 08 - WDW (4 Parks)
Oct 08 - Disneyland Paris (2 Parks)
Dec 08 - WDW
Jan 09 - WDW
April 09 - Tokyo Disney / *Hong Kong Disneyland*

So there you have it. All Disney parks on Earth in less than 12 months. It's far from an impossible feat but, dare I say, a dream come true for a Disney park fan *cough* dork.

Hong Kong Disneyland is a small park which most would consider a "half day" park attraction wise. What it lacks in the realm of attractions, it makes things up with some of the most beautifully landscaped grounds and surroundings. The spit and polish witnessed at the park itself is just as impressive as the Tokyo Disney Resort. However, the "newness" of this park mixed with the culture leaves things feeling a little sterile, empty, and there is much room (literally) for improvement.

During this podcast you will experience most of the park's attractions with us, STORIES ABOUT HOOKERS, an edited portion of their daytime parade called Disney on Parade, and various other Meanderings. It's most interesting to spend an entire day Meandering with us at this somewhat odd Disney Park. It was an interesting experience which left a handful of things to be desired. Overall, I do have high hopes for this Disney destination in the future. It's a promising Disney park located in one of the most amazing destinations in the East.

Got ya wondering about the hookers, don't I? LOL

Well, it certainly has been awhile since I've produced a podcast. Life has twisted and turned in so many directions since my last show, I can hardly keep my head on straight. Hell, my old friend Burnt Toast doesn't even live on the left coast anymore. What's the world coming to?

After completing my Disney Park world tour last April with my visit to Hong Kong, the world, for me, quickly took on new meaning. I'll start the show off with a short blurb in regards to why the show has run silent over the past handful of months, discuss changes going on with The DPN for those that haven't heard, and then get on with some classic audio meanderings taken in Tokyo.

This show features myself and Superdry out at Tokyo Disneyland one early morning as the madness of the grand opening of Monster's Inc. Ride and Go Seek takes place. We rush into the park after the gates open and encounter a massive line winding thru the park just to get a fastpass for the highly anticipated new attraction. About nine hours later, we actually get on the attraction for the first time and, of course, take you along for the ride.

Before getting to my Hong Kong Disneyland in park audio experience, I wanted to catch up and do a proper trip report with Joel in regards to our Paris journey. This trip saw me completing 10 of the 11 Disney parks worldwide while Joel fulfilled his dream of visiting all 11 of the Disney parks around the globe. During this LONG show (3+ hrs), we go through a day by day account of both our Paris city adventures and, of course, our Disneyland Paris Resort adventures. We review attractions, meals, go over travel tips, and offer our perspective up over what was one long, challenging, but amazing journey. I splice in a few audio clips from the parks to spice things up.

This is a MEGA TRIP REPORT done by myself and Superdry which includes live audio taken in Tokyo spliced into the format. This baby clocks in at over 3 hrs in length. The Meandering Mouse has been on hiatus. What better way to get back into the swing of things than with a heavy dose of Meandering goodness.

This show serves as a trip report for my July of 2008 Tokyo trip but was recorded live in Tokyo as of this posting. We wanted to share our experiences of our last trip as we embarked upon a new one. Superdry and I talk about every day we spent in Tokyo during the Summer of 2008 in great detail while I include audio taken from the trip.

So, join us in our discussion and experience the fun with us through the magic of audio. You'll enjoy train rides in Tokyo proper, Taxi rides, and even an interview with a Tokyo Disney fan website creator. This show is packed with interesting material and I think you'll really enjoy it.

Look forward to more audio as I complete my Disney park world tour within the next week.

Have fun and Enjoy!

Meandering Mouse Club TV - Disney Park Video Adventures from Around the World! Disneyland Paris Legend of the Lion King. Produced in association with Frikitiki Productions.

In the Camp Minnie Mickey section of Disney's Animal Kingdom you'll find the Festival of the Lion King. In Hong Kong Disneyland in Adventureland you'll find their version of the Festival of the Lion King (check out MMCTV EP0110 to watch their show). In Disneyland Paris, deep in the heart of Discoveryland is the Videopolis Theater. There you will find the third incarnation of the Lion King. Their version is called The Legend of the Lion King. Each version tells a similar story but are all different from each other. The two Fesitvals are done in the round while Legend is done in a more traditional stage setting. You're probably thinking to yourself it's from Paris so it will be in French....well, it's in English so you'll get full enjoyment from watching! Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba!

With Mousefest going on hiatus for 2009 there will be fewer planned gatherings of Disney friends. Well, fear not! The DPN will be holding their annual gathering at the place where it all started, Disneyland in Anaheim, California from April 30 to May 3, 2009. Come out and enjoy meeting DPN podcasters and friends of the DPN. Meets will be held both by podcasters and non podcasters alike. To see what is currently planned goto http://www.dpnwestfest.com.

This is the second of three parts I'll be sharing my memories of Mousefest 2007. The videos will cover the entire trip from departure in Honolulu to departure in Orlando. While you don't quite get it all (I have 18 hours of video) you'll get a sampling of what a time Mousefest is between Mousefest activities and activities at the Walt Disney World Resort itself.

See the coolest audio-anamatroic in the whole world, visit with some neighbors in the Disney neighborhood, check out resorts, watch a bazillion parades and lighting of gazillions of beautiful lights, see story tellers around Epcot and experience several magical moments during the trip. Did I say 101? Well maybe...maybe not. Did I leave anything out? Oh yeah, gag on everyone's most favoritist drink in all the world!! About the only thing these three videos don't have is the Kitchen Sink (ate one of those by myself in August 2006...Don't believe me, check out my flickr pictures Kitchen Sink set)

This video covers the Mega Mouse Meet, Hollywood Holiday Parade, Streetmosphere, Lights of Winter, DPN meet, Adventure's Club, Osborne lights, DSI Frontierland, Spectromagic, Kilimanjaro Safari, and Beverlyfest. Dates: Saturday, December 8 through Monday, December 10, 2007.

Tokyo DisneySEA - These Are the Days!!

Join myself, DPN'er Superdry, and Matt from Dallas as we meander around Tokyo's DisneySEA one morning. This show features a journey to the park aboard the Resort Liner, a Journey Into the Center of the Earth, and a journey under the sea with Ariel and friends. It took me 3 trips to Tokyo to finally experience one of the top stage shows at the resort. Join me and my friends at DisneySEA's Mermaid Lagoon Theater as we experience "Liquid Theater." To be truthful, I didn't expect much from the Mermaid Lagoon Theater. As per usual at the Tokyo Disney Resort, I was pleasantly surprised. What I found inside was one of the most impressive special effects oriented stage shows Disney has ever produced. The costumes were stunning, the stage rigging and props were beyond impressive, and the sound was filled with live singing by Ariel herself. Overall, it was a wonderful morning at DisneySEA and you are along for the ride.

As a bonus, I've thrown in 2 more ride thrus in this show:

One of my favorite and most underrated Disney attractions, Cranium Command, is featured on this show:

From Doug:

In this show, we take a virtual meander through a now extinct pavilion -
and it's not Horizons. This pavilion is used for special events and exhibits,
but its original form was truly one of fun and learning. So, come with me

Photos Taken by The Meandering Mouse in Tokyo - found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/meanderingmouse - Check them out!

This show will open with an in-park recording of Tokyo's special 25th Anniversary Theme Song. I was captivated by this song during my entire Tokyo Disney experience. They played this song throughout the parks on many occasions especially after parades and shows. Unfortunately, the CD single of this song I purchased in the park came only in Japanese and doesn't sound nearly as enchanting. The clapping you hear is coming from guests as each of the Fab Five passes in front of Lido Isle on floats to conclude DisneySEA's Legend of Mythica. Listen closely to the girl FREAKING OUT when Minnie waved to her. It was an oddly funny moment and insight into how serious the Japanese are over the Disney Characters.

And for the main portion of the show....Join myself, Superdry, and Matt from Dallas for a relaxing morning at Tokyo Disneyland. We first take in, arguably, one of Disney's best attractions with Pooh's Hunny Hunt. Then we head over to the Haunted Mansion which is oddly located in Fantasyland along with Pooh. To finish things off, we take in my favorite version of Splash Mountain in Tokyo's Critter Country. Overall, it's a well-rounded offering of Tokyo e-ticket attractions.

At Toyko DisneySEA, there an attraction that I consider to be one of my favorite attractions across all of the nine Disney parks that I have visited globally.  In the Arabian Coast section of the park is Sindbad's Storybook Voyage.  It's a boat ride like Pirates of the Caribbean or Small World and some people have compared it to Small World.  The comparison ends at it being a boat ride, though.  While it might look like small dolls, they are full animatronic figures with great motion capabilities.  When Jeff and I visited in June 2007, the ride had just come off of rehab.  The imagineers had given the attraction a new storyline.  Alan Menken of "Little Mermaid" along with Glen Slater created the song "Compass of your Heart"  which follows you throughout your voyage with SIndbad and his loyal tiger cub, Chandu.  I was fully captivated by the ride.  Mermaids, genies, thugs, giant birds, dancing monkeys...this attraction has it all!  It is fully original, the song is catchy, the sets are detailed, and the animatronic figures are amazing (just watch for the belly dancers!).  Too bad they didn't sell Chandu plushes.

Before we take the ride, you get to see some of the Oasis area of the Arabian Coast that is next to the Lost River Delta.  This area was seen briefly in MMCTV EP0111, Musica Mexicana.  Playing in the background is the Port Theme Song for the Arabian Coast which is taken from the Tokyo DisneySEA 5th Anniversary Music Album CD.  (http://www.amazon.com/Tokyo-Disney-Sea-Anniversary-Celebration/dp/B000GPIHQ8).  

Special thanks to Jeff for letting me use some of his pictures of the attraction in the video.

I hope you enjoy this trip into Sindbad's Storybook Voyage.

On this show, I start with a simple stream of consciousness taken in the bathroom of a Boeing 777 while crossing the Pacific Ocean heading for Japan. We then journey from Narita airport to Maihama station as we make our way to the most fascinating Disney park on Earth. Tokyo DisneySEA. Meander with me jet lagged and lost in translation as I make my way through my Tokyo arrival day. The show finale presents a pristine live recording of DisneySEA's night time spectacular BraviSEAmo which I've been trying to capture successfully during all my travels to Tokyo...it just never worked out the way I wanted it to until this presentation.

This is your chance to follow me as I cross the globe using planes, trains, and 4 wheeled luggage. It's exciting, it's an adventure, and I'm happy to share it with all of you.

Doug aka DisneyParkHopper turns in another behind the scenes look at Disney attractions or what we like to call backstage meanderings:

From DisneyParkHopper:

In this Backstage Meandering, I take you through the history of two similar locations in Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. We look at the space currently occupied by Redd Rocket's Pizza Port and Stitch's Great Escape. The history of these locations can be traced all the way back to the opening of Disneyland. So, come with me as we use ride audio and audio from television specials to explore A Retrospective of Rockets and Alien Encounters.

Real simple...We find our odd tourist out at Tokyo Disneyland with his Uncle Coconut. Uncle Coconut tries to sell Saul some prime real estate in the form of a Haunted Mansion and let's just say that I don't think the moving van ever made it to Saul's joint after his tour of the spooky house.

**RATED PG - Made for Headphones**

My good buddy Quenton (Q) and I visited Tokyo for 9 days about 8 months ago. We, of course, spent some good time at the Tokyo Disney resort but also had many weird and wonderful experiences across the Tokyo landscape. We share a somewhat rambling day to day account of our adventures but tie in our experience with staying at The Mira Costa, one of Disney's most luxurious resorts (if not the most luxurious), with DPN'er Superdry's odd letter writing bout with the same hotel. Superdry loves The Mira Costa but has one huge problem with the place. Quenton and I discovered the same problem which led to one the wackiest nights out on the streets of Japan. I am even pretty sure we terribly broke the law by accident. Superdry's first letter of concern and return correspondence with the The Mira Costa occurred a full year ago. A promise was made to occur one year later so he sent another follow-up letter this year. Yesterday Superdry received another letter from the Japanese people at the hotel. The letter has remained unopened until the recording of a segment to be included in this show. We head to one of Houston's weirdest Japanese Karaoke bars called Genji, have some Japanese beers, record Superdry's story, and finally open the letter he received via air mail to see what their response to the second of his zany letters may be.

This will be an interesting and long show.

Meandering Mouse Club TV - Disney Park Video Adventures from Around the World! Disney's New DVC Resort Hawaii Site Footage.  Produced in association with Frikitiki Productions.


After it was announced in October 2007 that The Walt Disney Company was going to build a new Disney Vacation Club resort in Hawaii, Joel went out to the site in Oahu and took some video of the plot of land and surrounding area so you can see where the resort is going to be built.  Well....This is the footage and give you a little tour.  If you happened to have seen Joel's Chief Magic Official video entry, there is some footage of the area in that video too.  In the video the degrees, minutes and seconds coordinated are given so you can put them into Google Earth and get a satellite view.  Here's hoping that they put in an Adventures Club into the resort.  Give it a South Pacific theme and boo-ya, we might have a winner!

During the same time frame the Lion King touring company was in Hawaii for a 13 week run (according to Disney this was the longest stay in any one city for one of the traveling tour companies) and they put some of the masks from the show on public display outside of the area of the concert hall where they were performing.  You'll get to see them close up.

For show feedback you can send e-mail to mmctvpodcast at gmail.com.  If you would like to support Meandering Mouse Club TV and the DPN, you can use the paypal links on either http://www.meanderingmouse.com or http://www.thedpn.com websites.  Don't forget to leave your feedback in i-tunes.

Follow me into Disneyland on a Saturday Morning for the first official Westfest day as DPN podcasters and fans gather at Carnation Plaza to grab schwag, reunite with old friends, make new friends, and kick off Westfest.  Chris from The Big D and I also take a ride on Alice in Wonderland after hearing that a cast member running the attraction is a fan of our shows.

Meandering Mouse Club TV - Disney Park Video Adventures from Around the World! First Entry into HONG KONG DISNEYLAND.  Produced in association with Frikitiki Productions.


Well, there has been some feedback that asked to show more of the Hong Kong park. Join me as we walk from the park's entry sign up through Sleeping Beauty's castle. We make a short stop into the exhibit in the Opera House. What was interesting about the display is that Disney is a new entity in that part of the world. While we grew up with Disney, they didn't so the Opera House is set up to tell guests about Disney the man and the Company. You'll see the two shows and some of the displays inside. I hope you enjoy the show!

For the contest, I'm making it really simple. In the video I talk in front of a water feature, tell me who it is in the feature and what they are on. Send your answer to mmctvpodcast (at) gmail.com by 11:59pm HST on Saturday, June 14, 2008. The prize will be the limited print henley shirt that has the embroidery in the front and the print in the back.

Please send feedback to mmctvpodcast @ gmail.com and please rate the show over at i-tunes.

**PG-13 WARNING**

The Meandering Mouse is back with a bang after being on hiatus for a handful of weeks!

The MM show and The DPN all started with an email to the Trapped on Vacation podcast. I wrote in telling the host, now known as Earl, that I would be taking my first steps into Disneyland and would experiment by sending him some audio of my experience. He played the audio of my first steps into the park and my podcasting adventure began. Soon after that, I founded The Disney Podcast Network. We now come full circle just before The DPN's Westfest 2008 begins with myself following Earl and his Bleepin' Wife into Disneyland as they take their very first steps down Main Street. The reactions are captured here and I won't soon forget the moment I had with my close friends.

Earl was recording his experience as well so you will hear him narrating his show as I narrate mine. It's quite interesting if not a bit odd.

I also throw in some highlights of meeting up with a large number of DPN'ers for the first time during this year's Westfest. There are good vibes all around as I'm re-united with friends right before almost a dozen of us take a ride on The Matterhorn.

The show closes with my experience on Disneyland's submarine voyage with a few fellow DPN'ers.

The Meandering Mouse has been buried in moving boxes for the past few weeks. Thus, Jeff from Houston is on hiatus. Luckily, Doug turns in another amazing sound seeing experience as he shares with us his recent Disneyland Paris experience full of his personal audio from the park. This show will only contain Doug's audio production...no intro by me...no audio bumpers...we just get on with the show. Thanks for the patience as I deal with a major change in my life.

Join myself and DPN'er Lorien aka Auntie Lo aka The Queen of The DPN Island as we go over our February of 2008 Walt Disney World trip. Fun was had by all but, oddly enough, we didn't bother riding much at all during the entire week. It just goes to show that being with good friends at the Disney parks causes the attractions to take a back seat to the good times you can have simply spending time with loved ones.

This one clocks in at about 2 hours so get comfortable.

Have fun and enjoy!

Join me for a Magic Kingdom morning as I make my way across the Seven Seas Lagoon via the ferry boat and meander into Tomorrowland for a visit to the MILF.  That's the Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor for those that haven't figured it out.  And yes, that is funny :)  And no, it's not my fault that they named it that way.  What a bunch of dirty birdies.  Of course, my color commentary is in tow once again.

*The Meandering Mouse is Made for )) Headphones (( *

Flight delays threw me for a loop and my arrival day at WDW didn't turn out as I had planned for this live show.  I was surprised I even made it into the parks before they closed the place for the night.  However, I did turn out a recording and mange to post it about 4 hours after it was made here at Walt Disney World.

Meander along with me as I enter EPCOT's World Showcase via the Boardwalk and enjoy Mo' Rockin and Illuminations.  My colorful commentary is in tow and this is simply a stream of consciousness ride through a short evening at EPCOT.

Enjoy!

Since the Meandering Mouse has some life changing tasks on his plate to deal with right now, Doug, aka DisneyParkHopper on the DPN forums, has stepped up to the plate to fill in with some more great material.  You'll hear from the ole' Meandering Mouse in the intro as usual, but Doug takes on the meat and potatoes here.

During this episode of The Meandering Mouse, you will get the full facts on Disneyland's now extinct PeopleMover.  Doug tried to cover this attraction last year but was insanely de-railed by an unsuspecting and overly enthusiastic tourist.

Enjoy the history and magic of this missed attraction as Doug masterfully guides you through an informative and entertaining soundscape of Disneyland's beloved PeopleMover.

Have fun and enjoy!

This show will post live from the Walt Disney World resort in Florida. I flew down for a few days to check out the re-imagined Spaceship Earth while it is in it's preview phase. Of course, the holidays are in full swing here at Disney World so I took in Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party at The Magic Kingdom. I take you all along with myself and DPN'er Superdry as we make our way into the park for the party and experience Holiday Wishes. The show closes with our first ride on the new Spaceship Earth. I can easily tell they have much to do in order to finish the job but it's coming along nicely and I enjoyed it.

Enjoy!

Looking for a break from all the Mousefest audio out there? Well, look no further than The Meandering Mouse for something different...as always ;)

Proud member of The Meandering Mouse Production Team Doug, aka DisneyParkHopper, turns in an excellent trip report from his journey to the Walt Disney Studios at the Disneyland Paris Resort. This report is full of live sounds Doug personally took at the park and his own personal take on the experience...a must listen and darn interesting material for those of us who haven't made it to the Paris resort as of yet.

The show begins with a goofy intro by me and your voice mails.

Enjoy!

*PG-13 WARNING* *Headphones R Good!*  Happy Turkey Day for Those Listeners that Celebrate the Holiday!

We start this show with an oldie but goodie edition of The Penny Press. In fact, I think it's the funniest one the guys have produced as they answer an actual DPN'er email during IMHO. Be forewarned though, this one is a little edgy. PG-13 for sure. Soooo, open your mind, your ears, and just freakin laugh or I'll sic monkey on yo bottom.

Next up, follow Q and I into Tokyo Disneysea as Q gets his first taste of the Tokyo parks. This is an odd meandering because the commentary was completely natural and, uhh, almost silent. Q had lost his ability to speak once he walked into Disneysea and rightfully so. Disneysea is the type of place that truly knocks the wind out of you when you first see it. So expect this meandering to start off a but slow as we move into the park. You'll get to enjoy some of the ambiance with us and laugh at Q when he starts sounding drunk and unable to form sentences. After the initial walk into the park, you'll come along for the following:
 
-An Inebriated dunk on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea with Equally Drunk Sea Monkey Aliens
-Q's first ride on one of my very favorite Tokyo Disney attractions - Sinbad's Storybook Voyage

To end the show, we continue with another edition of the Penny Press because I don't want monkey pooping on my lawn for falling behind. Nuff said.

Meandering Mouse Club TV - Disney Park Video Adventures from Around the World!

n this episode of Meandering Mouse Club TV join Joel, Coconut Wireless from the DPN boards and the man behind Frikitiki productions, as he explores Disney’s newest Asia park: Hong Kong Disneyland. Starting along Main Street USA and heading into Fantasyland, take in the sights before heading over to Adventureland that has been captured and over run by pirates. See how the pirates have “decorated� the place now that they now control. Maybe a jungle river cruise will relax us first before we attempt to get past more pirates to get back to the safety of Main Street USA.

To hear more details of Hong Kong Disneyland and Joel’s trip there, check out The Meandering Mouse Podcast EP#65 where he, Jeff from Houston, and Jesse from Mousepod have a discussion about the trip. This video will serve as the perfect video companion to that podcast.

For detailed photos taken at both the Asian parks, please visit The DPN Flickr photo group by going to www.thedpn.com. You will find some interesting shots of the parks by user's coconut wireless and meanderingmouse. Also, join us at The DPN where we have a new forum section devoted to the overseas parks. Post your memories or questions about the parks in places like Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Paris.

**Headphones Highly Suggested**

On this very special show, I feature in park audio from almost every Disney Park location on Earth taken directly by The Meandering Mouse team.

Meandering Mouse crew member, DisneyParkHopper, is fresh off the plane from Disneyland Paris with some great quality ride-thrus from the parks. I, of course, have a ton of great stuff from Tokyo and plan on mixing things up with new audio from Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida.


I haven't done housekeeping for 4 shows so please be patient as I make some important announcements at the start of the show.  I appreciate it!

Highlights:
-Tokyo Tiki Room of Power (My favorite audio piece from Tokyo)
-Disneyland in California's Tiki Room with whacky commentary and a gorgeous sing-a-long by Burnt Toast
-Disneyland Paris' Phantom Manor Ride-Thru Recorded by Doug aka DisneyParkHopper just days ago
-Quenton and I enjoy some adult beverages and take a ride on Disney World's Primeval Whirl (otherwise known as mistake #432)

Here's your chance to take a whirlwind trip around the Disney parks in style as I celebrate my audience in appreciation of the recent Podcast Awards nomination for The Meandering Mouse.

**PART 2**-Round Table Discussion-Tokyo Disneyland.

Join myself and two very special guests as we provide a trip report of The Meandering Mouse tour of the Tokyo Disney Resort. Joel / Coconut Wireless from MMCTV / The Disney Podcast Network and Jesse from The Mousepod podcast join in on this round table discussion which tells the tale of our overseas journey to some fascinating Disney parks. Mr. Mousepod himself makes a perfect addition to the conversation as he is a two time visitor of the Tokyo parks. Jesse's perspective livens things up a bit as he relates to my experience along with Joel's.


**This is PART 2 of the trip report round table discussion.  This show covers Tokyo Disneyland land by land. To wrap things up, we go back and talk about a few attractions at Disneysea we missed in part one. All said and done, this round table discussion nears 4 hours total if you combine both parts.

I've had a ton of emails pour in with people asking to hear a personal take on our travels. Here's your chance to hear all the exciting details.

*RATED PG* Welcome one and all to Summer 2007!!!

Please keep in mind as you listen to the pleasurable Meandering Mouse Meanderings this Summer that the Disney parks are "The Height of American Decadence!" No more, no less. Ahh, gotta love tourist cattle mumbo jumbo...does it make any sense? Not really!

This show is all about having some fun and laughs as we kick off a new Summer season here at The Meandering Mouse. Join me and my buddy Q at Walt Disney World for some in the park madness.

Things are topped off by another edition of The Penny Press. Your Disney news delivered to you the only way Coq Blockley knows how: Flat and Worthless. In Monkey's Honest Opinion (IMHO) also returns for another spot on rant. Watch your sidewalk. It might get crapped on.

This is a live at the park meandering taken at the Walt Disney World Resort. Join me early in the morning as we make our way from the hotel into EPCOT for fish, food, and some of the worst live performers at the entire resort. The last statement is just my opinion, though. You can form your own after spending the morning at EPCOT with me.

Features:

-Cruising around the resort from Pop Century to EPCOT
-The Seas with Nemo and Friends without that radio personality guy who was with me last time
-An awful but funny run-in with a live in the park music act
-My first experience on Living with the Land with no life (post boat skippers)

*Headphones* This week I introduce a new member / guest host of the Meandering Mouse podcast. DPN forum member Doug aka DisneyParkHopper has started to produce some excellent "virtual meandering" tours of the Tokyo Disney Resort just for the Meandering Mouse. This show will feature his first piece which takes you on an amazing sound tour through Tokyo Disneyland. You won't want to miss this one and headphones are a must!!

I've also got a ride thru which I truly labored over. Mission Space is one tough attraction to record well but I finally nailed it while Q and I were on a zany space flight to nowhere. This has to be one of my favorite little pieces of audio that I've taken with my buddy Q. It took MANY tries to get this one sounding right. We had the entire space pod to ourselves which left us to carry on like mad while pushing buttons and flipping switches. Fasten your seatbelt. It's a wild ride!

The Meandering Mouse podcast and The Disney Podcast Network were conceived a year ago this Feb. It has been an interesting, challenging, and rewarding run so far. Most of all, it has been a lot of fun and has given me the opportunity to interact with so many new people in my life. Both projects have brought me great new friends. Something we all could use more of. Furthermore, being part of bringing so many other good people together has given me so many wonderful feelings. In short, that experience alone has been magical.

This show is dedicated to all those people that make both The Meandering Mouse and The DPN a success: The listeners and other Disney podcasters out there.

I simply asked people to send in audio clips with whatever content they saw fit. Whether it be a ride-thru made in the parks, a congratulatory remark made in honor of the podcast / network, or something completely goofy, it will be showcased here on this special show. I expect this show to be a long one based on the number of audio files sent to me.

Kinda interesting....this show was produced while traveling across the entire country, a huge portion of The Pacific Ocean, and on two different islands which are the most isolated on Earth.

The music I used / mixed together with all the segments in order to provide a smooth flow to the show was inspired / chosen by me after I toted my Ipod 37 miles up into an active volcanic crater. The 37 miles you travel to get to the summit of Haleakala in Maui is the greatest elevation gain in shortest distance that you can experience on Earth. I meandered up the mountain and 2.5 miles down into the crater by my lonesome on March 1st. I had my Ipod on the entire time and most of the tracks I experienced on that lonely but fascinating journey were used in my 1 yr anniversary show....inspired to say the least. I sat on the edge of a volcanic cone and stared at the clouds rolling in BELOW me for about an hour....just listening to music and pondering my tiny place in this world while all alone in that desolate, alien-like, but beautiful place. It really made me feel insignificant but, sometimes, you've got to blast down the walls of your ego in order to better yourself and discover your true place on this Earth.

*RATED PG* Well, this show was delayed because I have been slammed with work since I got back from WDW. Heck, I was working while out at the resort that week. Given all this, I have no super special 50th show. However, The Meandering Mouse and The DPN will turn 1 year old this month. I have plans for a celebratory show but I'm going to need some time to get everything together. On this show, I have some important announcements to make. Afterwards, Q and I sit down to talk about our crazy WDW trip as of lately. It was a great time full of first time experiences that, for some reason, involved insane amounts of food. I've always wanted to do a strict trip report show since I enjoy hearing trip reports from other podcasters so much. Well, here's my chance to share a great trip report with all of you! Warning...I'm tagging this with PG13 as Q and I were cutting up and having a good time talking about our trip. It's all in good fun but a little warning is in order here.

*You REALLY NEED Headphones for This Show*

Join me and my buddy Q at the brand new Pirates and Princess Party at The Magic Kingdom in Florida for the Magic, Music, and Mayhem Fireworks show. This show was recorded live from the WDW resort and begins at the TTC. You'll follow us into the park, down Main Street USA, and take a quick ride on the TTA before we grab some hot cocoa and enjoy the most amazing fireworks show I've seen in quite some time. This new show doesn't hold the same appeal for me as Illuminations but it is the most impressive fireworks show I've ever seen with the castle as the backdrop. In my opinion, this this was more or as impressive as the Remember Dreams Come True fireworks display at Disneyland. It was great fun and great audio.

*Headphones Suggested*To start this episode, I air my grievances over people not understanding why we all enjoy the Disney parks so much. Do you have to field questions when you tell friends and family that you are headed to the parks again?

At the parks, we join the Meandering Minnie at Fort Langhorn's Rifle Roost to pick off tourist fashion faux pauxs. Not many people survive the onslaught. Next, find out a little something about WDW horticulturists, visit Norway gone wild, and join us at the Adventurers Club for your last dose of madness in the amazing and enchanting mask room.

The Micecast Disney podcast has consistently been one of my favorite Disney podcasts for a quite some time. If you are familiar with Mike and Greg's show and banter, you are accustomed to their off-the-cuff and tangent filled discussion style. They cover anything Disney and whatever else pops up...sometimes it's insightful, sometimes it's funny, sometimes they talk about nothing remotely close to Disney subject matter, and sometimes it's even off-color and politically incorrect. However, it's always an honest take and a good time. These guys, no doubt, have a passion for the parks.

I spoke with Mike from Micecast recently and found out he was heading out of town for a solid week for a family funeral and tend to all the business that comes with such a tough experience. Therefore, I'm presenting this special edition of The Meandering Mouse Podcast in true Micecast style as a tribute to the show and to fill that void which will be left while Mike tends to important family business.  This round table discussion took place at Disneyland's Rancho Del Zocalo one crisp Fall evening. Myself, Mike, Greg, and DPN forum member, Burnt Toast, took some time to discuss being part of the Disney cast member family. All three of the guys were Disney cast members at one point in their life. Toast spent around 12 years with the company. I couldn't have thought of a better topic to cover than working as a cast member as I was surrounded with so many friends who have shared the experience.

My sympathies go out to Mike and his family this week. This one's for you, my friend.

Please stay until the end of the show to play LTAD Jeopardy for your chance to win the T-Shirt which was signed by all the Disney podcasters at Mousefest 2006.

**Headphones Highly Suggested** I made it back alive from Mousefest. After spending seven days at Walt Disney World with little

sleep, my head is still spinning. Mousefest was an incredible experience filled with memories and time spent with good people. I was also able to grab a

lot of fun audio from the gathering. I'll be sharing some of that audio on this show and letting you in on what it was like to be right in the middle of

the madness. Last but not least, it's the holiday season and what better way to celebrate than hanging out with the DPN gang at Mickey's Very Merry

Christmas Party. Most of The DPN gang along with some friends parked ourselves curbside in the hub of The Magic Kingdom on a chilly evening to take in the amazing Christmas parade. Come gather with us in the holday spirit using your earbuds. As a finale to this show, I present the incredible 4 minute Holiday Illuminations. You'll get to experience the explosive mayhem which caps off Reflections of Earth each night during this special season. My mics actually held up to the assault. It's a Christmas miracle!

Sneak Preview of Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club at WDW's Magic Kingdom.  Posted live from Walt Disney World's Coronado Springs. I was able to catch some of the first sneak previews of Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club here at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom today. The imagineers are testing the attraction and working the bugs out. So far, I'd say the attraction is coming along fairly well and is a somewhat welcome addition to The Magic Kingdom. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not it truly fits into Tomorrowland, though. The show uses similar technology seen at Turtle Talk. There are three Monster comedians who take the stage and interact with the audience. The entire show is projected on three different video screens and one screen is used to pick people out of the crowd as they do in Turtle Talk. Cast Members wander the room with a mic to catch guests interacting with the comedians. Each guest interaction and the gags to go with it help fill the laugh canister which resides on the right side of the stage. The theming in the attraction is well done for the most part. The seating area is clever given that it really looks like a comedy club or lounge. They even have small lounge lamps mounted in front of the seats which sometimes flash with the laughs. My only complaint would be the quality of the animation seems to be lacking a bit. Turtle Talk is animated much more fluid and the images on the screen are more vivid. The projections at Laugh Floor appeared washed out a bit. MANY imagineers were on hand for the previews and were standing in the back of the theater throughout the show. They took a small audience survey at the end of the performance to gauge reaction to the new original characters. I can't seem to find video or audio of this attraction anywhere on the net. Earl from Trapped told me that he thought someone had snagged and posted video of the attraction but I can't find it. Therefore, I am tagging the entire audio captured of the show as a Meandering Mouse Podcast exclusive. If there is, in fact, video of the show floating around, please let me know and I will post a link in the DPN thread for this show.

**Headphones A Must** Be Sure to listen to the VERY END of this one.  It's time for some live from Walt Disney World Meanderings!! This has to be my all-time favorite live in the park meandering show as it covers Disney's Animal Kingdom at night along with a walk around The World
Showcase promenade for some reviews of The Food and Wine Festival. That's right, it's your chance to drink and eat your way around the world with The Meandering Mouse. This show ends with the best recording I've ever captured of Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. It's an wonderful piece of audio that you will really enjoy.  At the VERY END of this show you'll hear me get stopped in the park by a fan once again...great stuff!! It was really windy at The Animal Kingdom that night and I was turning my head quite a bit while narrating....I apologize for that but the material more than makes up for it...trust me on this.

I didn't think I was going to put a show out this week.  Why?  Because the Meandering Mouse is, once again, on the road.

This show is being posted from The Walt Disney World Resort as I'm here for a full week!  That means we will be starting a run of podcasts taken at WDW before you know it.

Even though we are back at Disneyland live once again on this show, you will find this to be quite relaxing and entertaining.  I decided to act like a big kid one morning at Disneyland and take in nothing but kiddie rides.   Come along with me on a glorious morning at Walt's original park and feel like a child all over again.

Highlights include:

-Some Amazing Listener Voice Mails
-Me getting stopped in the park by a fan of the show
-Storybook Canal Boats
-Casey Junior
-Gadget's Go-Go Coaster
-King Arthur's Carousel

**Headphones Suggested** This show begins with a real life haunted story from Disneyland told by a seasoned cast member.  Next, I feature one last live in-the-park meandering from Disneyland before we head back to Walt Disney World in Florida.  Join Greg (Micecast / Imagineering My Way) and I in Disneyland's California Adventure one evening as we explore some of the new Halloween decorations around the Hollywood Tower of Terror.  Last, what spooky night in the park would be complete without a ride on Monsters. There is a little overlap of the Today I am at Disneyland show (episode 37) as I describe the Esplanade Halloween Decor once again while walking into the park....I provide a little more detail since it was my first time seeing the decor lit at night.

**Headphone Friendly** In this episode of The Meandering Mouse, I continue my EPCOT retrospective series and highlight the original Universe of Energy. We discover that the departure of the original Universe of Energy in 1994 marks a great change in the general theme of EPCOT's Future World. A piece of EPCOT's original mission is also left behind with the re-imagineering of the pavillion. While I still consider the re-themed attraction (Ellen's Energy Adventure) to be a very well done and entertaining replacement, it's always interesting to take a look back. Highlights of this show include full commentary discussing the energy pavillion's history, the design, its principles, and an edited audio ride thru of the attraction. Thanks to everyone that has made donations to The Meandering Mouse and The Disney Podcast Network thru the show website! First post of this episode had the wrong finale song presented in the ride thru.  Universe of Energy should play at the finale vs. Energy, you make the world go round.

**Made for HEADPHONES** We start this episode with probably the most endearing / special piece of audio I've ever taken. I interviewed my 96 year old Grandmother while I was in Pittsburgh. Why you ask? It's simple. The Meandering Mimi was responsible for taking my Sister and I
to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom for the very first time back in 1983 when I was 8 years old! This recorded discussion is our attempt at digging up all those magical memories which occured way back when. As you'll hear, it wasn't easy! Next up, we continue in the way back machine and explore some of the first EPCOT Center music ever presented to the public as a listener chimes in on the subject of EPCOT's BGM loops. The feature of the show will be an audio adventure around the World Showcase lagoon with my buddy, Patrick, and Earl from Trapped on Vacation. We meander around one evening experiencing The World Showcase exactly as it should be experienced: With no particular agenda other than to explore and take it all in. The audio wraps up with rides on Norway's Maelstrom and Mexico's El Rio Del Tiempo.  Check out the DPN website changes going on now.  More great things to come.

**MUST HAVE HEADPHONES** I finish my live in park podcast taken during my trip last week with this show. Please make sure you have already listened to part 1 as to complete the audio experience. This final part of the special series is twice as long as the first part because I am home with more time on my hands to work on the show. Part 1 was thrown together from my hotel room in Anaheim. There is a little more babbling by me going on here since I find myself back tracking a bit while trying to decide what to do with my morning. Below is the list of attractions I hit while Meandering around the park on this second and final part of my podcast in the park morning. Yes, I know we've done some of these attractions before but this two part show was meant to highlight a complete and somewhat typical morning for me as I left the mics run as much as possible while I had some fun. The best part? Your are along for the journey! Space Mountain Ride Thru (best audio of this one yet due to new field equipment - no more insane distortion), It's a Small World, Push the Trashcan (Best EVAR), Roger Rabbit's Toontown Queue exploration and Ride Thru, Toon Town Meanderings, Big Thunder Mountain, and The Haunted Mansion. The Meandering Mouse welcomes Greg from Imagineering My Way at imagineeringmyway.com into the Disney Podcast Network Family.  Visit his new forum under the Micecast section.  Thanks to Karl at justsayok.net for donating to the show and DPN.  Visit justsayok.net for an interview with DPN member Paul Barrie.

**MUST HAVE HEADPHONES** This is a special LIVE FROM DISNEYLAND Meandering Mouse podcast: Part One.  Recorded on September 1 2006.

I'm sitting here in my hotel room at the Anaheim Resort area as I post this. I changed my flight plans and added an extra day to my little vacation out here. Yesterday I experimented with recording an entire show at the park. I meandered around during a gorgeous Friday morning and you will be along for the ride. No editing was done to this piece of audio.  Enjoy Part 1 of your morning with me at Disneyland in Anaheim, California!!  Thanks to everyone that has made donations to The Meandering Mouse and The Disney Podcast Network thru the show website!

**HEADPHONES R Ur Friends** The Meandering Mouse returns from another EPCOT retro show and does what its known for best: Meandering throughout the Walt Disney World Resort. Join me for a complete audio journey of a somewhat typical morning at Disney World. We begin at EPCOT's monorail station where we take a ride to the TTC and then hop onto the express Monorail to The Magic Kingdom. While Meandering down Main Street, we notice some charming details. Next, enjoy the transition into Tomorrowland and meet up with an old friend for a wild ride on Space Mountain. Once we make our way into Fantasyland, Peter Pan's Flight is on our must-do list before heading over for a wonderful sounding ride through The Haunted Mansion. Our morning at The Magic Kingdom comes to an end at The Frontierland Train Station. It begins to rain and Lou from Beyond Main Street just happens to be headed into the same station we're waiting at for the train. An odd coincidence for sure! To end our audio adventure, we hop back onto The Monorail for a trip around EPCOT where we finish back at the start of it all. Stick around for some wonderful audio feedback sent in by a listener.

**Lookie Mom! HEADPHONES** Join me for part three of my recent EPCOT Retrospective Series. This show will cover The World of Motion and MUCH MORE!! First up, I devote some time to some wonderful listener comments and voice mail. I've been quite appreciative over all the positive response to the show as of lately. Next, we take a "Magic Journey" back in time to explore The World of Motion. In my typical EPCOT retro style, I go over the history of the attraction, some technical specs, how I felt about it, and I then feature a special segment about Marc Davis since his infamous AA "sight gags" filled The World of Motion. Soon after that we board our Omnimovers and take our stereo ride thru of the entire attraction. To end the show, I let you in on my personal feelings over what EPCOT has become and what's truly able to still strike a chord within me at the park.  Stay until the end...you'll want to.

**PG-13 WARNING** Something quite different......along with something familiar. The Meandering Mouse emerges from the more serious side as heard on the EPCOT retrospective series and returns with its irreverent commentary, biting sarcasm, and wildly creative take on the Disney podcast. Get your Adventurer's gear and first join us for some Disneyland Adventureland Meanderings. We take the original Jungle Cruise right at closing time and then explore Tarzan's Treehouse. During the featured audio of this episode, The Meandering Mouse and his buddy, Quenton, imagineer their own version of the Jungle Cruise and feature the audio ride-thru for this special show. It took one 3 seat 1100cc 125 H.P. Jet Ski, two adventurous souls, some microphones, a bunch of water bound natives, some REAL wildlife sightings, and a lot of noise out on the open water to build this E-ticket attraction of insanity.  **WARNING** The Meandering Jungle Jet Ski Cruise part of the show is not for the kiddies and not for those sound quality snobs. This is extreme outdoor and impromptu soundseeing podcasting at its finest. Recording at a moment's notice sans windscreen while, occasionally, flying across the water at over 50MPH isn't pretty at times but we do slow down and explore the countryside for most of the experience. Fascinating stuff edited and cleaned up just a bit. Bring your sense of humor to this show or make use of that fast forward feature.

**WEAR HEADPHONES OR SUFFER ;)**Back by massively POPULAR DEMAND is my retrospective series covering EPCOT's golden era. On this show, I feature the ORIGINAL Journey into Imagination attraction (1983-1998). The past and present of the attraction will be explored along with a detailed ride description before taking another amazing stereo audio ride thru which is similar to the Horizons ride thru I played on a previous episode. I share my personal memories and feelings over what was one of the most fascinating and somewhat abstract dark rides ever conceived by The Disney company.

This show begins with the Meandering Minnie and I making a Kungaloosh in the studio to celebrate one heck of a busy week being done with. After our tasty adult beverage, we review Lou Mongello's latest Disney World Trivia book as his publisher was nice enough to provide us podcasters with a free copy. Before the Meandering Minnie leaves the studio, we feature some in park audio of a few cast members we talked to, learn a bit about the Reedy Creek District, and the C.H.I.P. hotline. As I take the mic solo for the remainder of the show, I discuss that special feeling you have when you first arrive at the parks and feature some great park audio of my buddy Quenton and I arriving at the Disneyland Resort for the first time. We walk down Main Street and end our audio meandering with Quenton's first ride on Space Mountain. He had a great time to say the least and you'll hear that in the ride-thru. Next up, we experience the queue at Space Mountain in Florida. I meander through the Star Tunnel and then play the music featured in both the entrance and exit of the attraction since it is some of my favorite music heard at WDW's Magic Kingdom. One of the tracks I stumbled upon was tagged, "Space Mountain - Impressions" and I ask YOU from which Space Mountain the track comes from. To round things out we visit the Space Mountain launch pad where a GOOD FRIEND seems to have gotten stuck in the space capsule which is ready to blast off! Somebody get a wrench and FAST! Last, we read a few listener emails as the last Horizons episode caused my inbox to be slammed with some amazing feedback.  Thanks to everyone that has made donations to The Meandering Mouse and The Disney Podcast Network thru the show website!

**SERIOUSLY-Headphones HIGHLY Suggested** Join me for a different sort of show as I provide some personal meanderings, musings, and memories of what EPCOT used to be all about. First, I'll provide a brief history of my all time favorite Disney attraction: Horizons. I'll present some interesting details about the attraction along with some RARE audio. To end the Horizons portion of the show, I will play one of the most fascinating pieces of audio I've ever heard dealing with Horizons...a mixdown of source audio which presents a completely accurate ride through of the attraction. Last, we will take a look back on the last remaining great dark ride at EPCOT: Spaceship Earth. We will take a ride thru of the attraction in it's golden days featuring audio narration by Walter Cronkite. I've been waiting a LONG TIME to do a HORIZONS based show as the memory of that attraction is one of the best Disney Park attraction memories I have from my childhood days spent in the parks. I hope this show does it justice. Special Thanks to Martin Smith and George W. (not Bush) for some of the material used in this show.

This episode is for all those Disney-MGM Studios lovers out there. We begin with a morning meandering over to the park, ride the parking lot tram to the front gates, and experience the rope drop. Once in the park, Patrick runs into Saul during the Star Tours pre-show. We find out that Saul is somewhat of a Star Wars nerd and a fastpass is issued for a fist fight between the two tourists (take special notice Patrick's deadpan reaction to the madness). To continue with the odd humor, we head next door to take in the Muppets 3D Pre-Show which is my favorite part of the entire attraction. Next up, we hitch a ride on that crazy old cursed elevator at The Tower of Terror Meandering Mouse style. Last at the Studios, The Meandering Minnie and I take a whack at Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Play it! Come along with us and test your ability in regurgitating useless knowledge.

**Headphones Suggested** This show begins with some truly unique WDW sound oddities. Come along with me as I explore one of the wackiest Disney World attractions: The audio pumped into the different restrooms around the resort. Don't worry because no offensive sounds are heard; just weird audio that accompanies you on your business trips while at the world. There are some other Disney park sound oddities thrown in as a surprise! Next, experience The Festival of the Lion King at Disney's Animal Kingdom. The Meandering Minnie and I check the show out for the very first time on our last trip and you're there with us enjoying the show! The audio truly shines for this wonderful live performance. Last, stick around for some great listener feedback...there has been a lot of it lately.  This week's show picture is the infamous women's chair toilet up in Disneyland's Club33.

**Rated PG-Headphones Suggested** This edition of the Meandering Mouse takes on a different and somewhat of a reflective tone as I prepare my mind and spirit for an upcoming Disneyland trip at the end of August. The audio featured on this episode of The Meandering Mouse is 100% from Disneyland...the original that started it all!

First, we revisit some of the very first audio clips I took while I first meandered through Disneyland back in October of 2005. The Meandering Mouse wasn't even thought of at this point because I didn't have a podcast. This type of audio is RARE...I don't know of any other Disney podcasters that have audio recorded of themselves experiencing Disneyland for the very first time. It really takes me back to that special feeling I had walking around alone in Walt's original park for the very first time on a chilly evening in October...I even get LOST which is funny to hear now that I know the parks on both coasts like the back of my hand.

The other neat thing in regards to these recordings is that you can hear how the quality of my meanderings have improved over time. To be honest, the quality is quite rough on these early recordings...levels are all over the place and there are some spots with some REALLY NASTY wind and vibration. It is quite listenable though...no doubt about that.

After the early first steps into Disneyland recordings, I shift gears and play some newer audio from my trip to DL this past Feb. However, the audio is just of me literally meandering through the park with no purpose. It's fun to come along with me as I take in my surroundings and point out certain details I notice along the way.

Next, we visit The Sorcerer's Workshop at The Animation Building in Cali Adventure where myself and my Disneyland Cast Member friend (Toast) take Disney personality tests using the enchanted books in the Beauty and the Beast Library.

Last, I leave you with a high quality and fun experience over at Monsters Inc. I think this is one of my best recordings of one of the newest attraction at DL. I finally captured one of my favorite gags and details of the attraction while making my way through the queue area.

**Rated PG-Headphones Suggested** This episode begins with the RETURN OF SAUL and his Disney park adventures. Join Saul as he experiences a trip through Florida's Fantasyland. Of course, Saul's journey through Fantasyland is a tad short on the fantasy and we can safely say that he visited something more like Scaryland. Next, The Meandering Minnie and I enjoy Philharmagic where we experience a bit more fantasy than poor ole' Saul. After leaving Fantasyland, we travel outside of the Disney bubble and hit the streets of Orlando to explore the creepiness of off-property souvenir shops. No comforting or pleasant souvenirs are found. Instead, we discover some of the oddest objects on Earth. Last, The Meandering Mouse returns to DISNEYLAND to explore some sound oddities and take a ride on The Sailing Ship Columbia. In the sound oddity portion of the Disneyland audio, we stumble upon Maynard, the rather famous but odd Disneyland cast member, as he tells us a really weird story on Main Street. We also stop in New Orleans Square and discover that Californians have NO rhythm whatsoever while we listen to a live street act. This episode is packed full of goodies so get ready for some fun!!!  Thanks to everyone that has made donations to The Meandering Mouse and The Disney Podcast Network thru the show website!

*Show is RATED PG-13* 

Okay, I've gotten many emails and have seen many requests on the forums for part two of my interview with my Disneyland cast member friend. I sat down with my buddy out at Disneyland's Grand Californian / California Adventure one afternoon in February and we spoke about his 11 year history with the company. Part one of the interview posted on The Meandering Mouse on March 4, 2006. I find this part of the interview to be MUCH MORE interesting as my friend talks about the current job conditions at Disneyland and how things have changed since the inception of "presenteism." We also discuss something a bit less serious...his favorite and least favorite park attractions. As stated in the topic title, this is a special episode of The Meandering Mouse so there are no soundseeing experiences or goofyness. Enjoy these more serious meanderings as a change of pace for the show. Forum member "Toast" is the person being interviewed. He is an active member at The Disney Podcast Network. Therefore, if you have any questions, post away and I'm sure he will be happy to answer.  Thanks to everyone that has made donations to The Meandering Mouse and The Disney Podcast Network thru the show website!

*Headphones Suggested* This episode begins with an introduction to The Meandering Minnie Mouse who I will be taking to Walt Disney World this coming week. She tells us what she is looking forward to and we get into some general shenanigans...it's a good laugh for sure. Next up is day three of my ongoing Disney trip report series. I start that with an EPCOT morning which includes a close call with an auto collision while entering EPCOT's parking lot and, of course, the EPCOT rope drop. Come along with us as we are herded like Disney tourist cattle into The Land pavilion in order to retrieve a FastPass for Soarin'. After a morning meandering with me and my pal, experience a ride thru of Test Track and some Disney sound oddities from the Manatee tank at the Living Seas. The last bit of audio weirdness is compliments of Earl from Trapped on Vacation as we hang out at The American Adventure.  This show closes with a hustled entry into the Magic Kingdom for a spot on the Tomorrowland bridge to view the Wishes fireworks show above Conderella's castle.

*Headphones HIGHLY Suggested* This show wll begin with a summary and audio of my second day of my recent Walt Disney World Trip.  
It's an Animal Kingdom Morning and a visit to ALL FOUR DISNEY PARKS in one day!  During the trip report, I comment on all the changes I noticed on Pirates of the Caribbean since it re-opened for a month after the first phase of rehab.  Next up, by popular demand, I feature an insane ride thru of  Splash Mountain. I say insane because we had visited ALL FOUR DISNEY PARKS before riding Splash at 1:30 in the morning!!!! We were sorta loopy from walking 15 to 20 some miles and going that long in the Disney parks. I've also got some wild news. My friend Patrick ran into Saul the Unsuspecting and Overly Enthusiastic Tourist while visiting the Haunted Mansion!!! Can you believe it?? Join Saul and my bud, Patrick, for one heck of a goofy time as they journey through the cobwebs and spookiness of The Haunted Mansion.  The show ends with some GREAT listener feedback so stay tuned.

This is part 1 of an interview I did with a very important Disney Cast Member. No, it's not an Imagineer and it's not a Disney Exec. This interview was done with the most important of all cast members. This is the person that has worked the front lines in the parks and has had constant guest interaction. In my opinion, the magic at Disney is created by cast members like this. These are the people responsible for working quite hard to make your Disney Resort trips a special one. Since this is another "special event" episode, look for another show to be released soon that features the normal crazy meanderings you're getting used to here at the podcast.
