Episodes #206 & #207 - Star Wars Weekend!


Overview: On today's podcast, I'm talking about Star Wars Weekend, which is held annually at late May/early June in Disney's Hollywood Studios. Joining me to talk about the event and the awesome parade is Lance Tomkins, Commanding Officer of the Florida Garrison of the 501st Legion. He's got some fun stories to tell, and we talk about dressing up and generally having fun at the event. Enjoy!

Episode #205 - Great experiences at Disney World


Overview: Friend of the Show Gary Miceli is back, and today we're talking about fun experiences at Disney. We all have special memories of our trips to the park, we share ours and what makes them memorable!   




Notes: I think the changes coming to the studios will mean a lot of history will be lost....oh well, that's progress! The Youtube video will give you a sense of the behind the scenes look you once got from the Backlot Tour. And the picture is of Inspector Gadget's car.

Episode #204 - a tribute to my grandparents; their love of Disney inspired me.


Overview: My grandparents had a tremendous influence on me - and are a large part of the reason that I love Disney. Come in and hear the story about them, and how they shaped me. Its a personal story that serves as a tribute to them.   



Notes: The top picture is in front of the Polynesian; their personalities shine through in the pic - that's really who they were. The other picture of them is at the Golf Resort pool (now Shades of Green). And of course there I am with them at a Mickey's Christmas Party in 1983.
