DDV #71 - Hidden Mickeys



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

DDV #70 - News for October 2011



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.

DDV#69 - Disney's Water Parks







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.

DDV #68 - My Year With The Mouse



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.

DDV #67 - Epcot - Living with the Land & Captain EO



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.
