Welcome to my old shownotes page

These are shownotes for episodes 1 - 339.  I leave this here for context, but links to play the actual shows won't work -- I moved over to anchor.fm.

You'll want to visit https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view to hear the shows themselves. 

And my shownotes for episodes 340 onward are on my blog  https://mydisneyworldblog.blogspot.com/search?q=episode%7C%7Cepisodes&max-results=20&by-date=true

Enjoy!

Episode #339 - Disney & Data

Overview:  I was giving some thought to one big reason Disney is successful, and that's "big data" - Disney uses a wealth of information to help you to have a magical time. I explore the concept on this podcast.

Notes: On a future show, I'll have to delve into more of how this data is used.

Of course, you can learn more about the history of Disney’s relationship with the state in my video series: lost and found in WDW!

Episode #338 - news and updates from around WDW

Overview:  Today’s main theme is the announcements about  Star Wars Galaxys Edge. We have dates, and know many of the shthings that will appear in the land.  Plus, I’ve got some other news and notes to share.

Notes: Galaxy's Edge will either be terrific or it will merit a yawn....hard to say which....but they've invested a lot of time and effort (not to mention money) into the parks to make it happen, and the sheer size is massive.  So it certainly has the potential.  I can't wait to see it.

Episode #337 - storytelling, the passing of Dave Smith, and changes to legislation

Overview:  I’ve got a couple of personal tales to tell along the way - about a trivia contest I was in, and a friend’s question about a birthday celebration.  Then, I talk a little about Dave Smith and his recent passing, and some proposed changes to state legislation that could impact Walt Disney world.

Notes: IMHO Dave Smith was a Disney ledgend for the way he preserved history.

Episode #336 -Soundsation at the Disney MGM Studios

Overview:  Back in 1989, the Disney MGM Studios opened as a real working movie studio. They let us in on some movie making secrets and featured some cool little shows that showed how things work. Soundsation was a booth where you could hear Holophonic sound. I explore the history and play the audio for you.

Notes: This was a simple pleasure. So technically simple, yet very powerful in its presentation.

Episode #335 - an update on Lost and Found at Disney World

Notes: As I mention in the podcast, these videos are fun to make.  I'm really enjoying it.

Episode #334 - A quick visit and a look at Wreck-it-Ralph

Overview:  I had a chance to visit over the holidays, so I talk about that experience - and mildly rant about the holiday experience at Disney (for me, personally, its too much, but that's just my opinion).  And I provide a review of Ralph Breaks the Internet.

Notes: The audio quality is less than perfect, and I apologize for that up front.  :)  Seems I had an issue with the microphone I was using.  By the way the picture is me in front of the purple wall.

Oh and....I got my son to try the Beverly.  That was ... amusing.
