Episode #153 -- Monorail Epcot Loop

On today's show, I hop onto the monorail at WDW that is heading from the Transportation and Ticket Center (or TTC as they call it in Disney 'code') and head over to Epcot. Then, I make the return trip. Come along and take a listen, and enjoy the ride!

Remember that Disney World has three monorail loops: the Epcot loop, the Resort Loop (which you can hear in my last podcast), and the Express Monorail (which everyone knows so well when they head into the Magic Kingdom, and then back to their car).

All three originate from the TTC, and make their way around to their destinations.

Episode #152 -- Monorail Resort Loop

Today's show is quite simply a ride on the monorail. Come along, close your eyes, and pretend you are there!

A couple of thoughts: I don't really like the new narration. Its not as interesting and the host isn't as personable. He sounds almost mechanical in nature. And - I talk about the renovations that were recently unveiled at the Contemporary....at the time I recorded this, the new "Top of the World" as it used to be called was still under construction.

Episodes #150 & #151-- Favorite Disney Vacation

Today is my 150th podcast! So, to commemorate the moment, its sort of a double length show! I welcome Curt, Gary, and Doug to a roundtable discussion, where we talk about our favorite Disney vacations. Come and take a listen and see if you catch some themes that match with your experiences. We are all different ages, and have experienced Disney in our own ways - and yet there's a common thread about our experiences that keeps us coming back! Enjoy the show.

On the podcast, I mention the Great Disney Scavenger Hunt. Here are my podcasts on that experience:

Episode #149 -- Free (and cheap!) Souvenirs at Disney World

Want to save a few bucks and still have a memento from your trip? I've got you covered! Today's podcast is a look at some of free souvenirs you can find in the Walt Disney World Resort, and a few that have a nominal cost. You can find a lot of things around that have little or no cost that will help you make a memory....

I have 30 items on the list, that are under $20. I do them in descending price order, so it starts with the more expensive items, and ends with the free stuff.

Disney's outlet stores:

• Disney’s Character Premiere store, located at Orlando Premium Outlets, Vineland Avenue
• Disney’s Character Warehouse store at Orlando Premium Outlets, International Drive (formerly  known as Prime Outlets Orlando, originally Belz Factory Outlet World).
• Character Corner store at Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores (and they have printable coupons!).

Episode #148 -- Pirate League and Agent P

On today's podcast, Dave is off playing games in the park. I'm not talking frisbee or football here, but rather the Pirate League Adventure in the Magic Kingdom, and the Agent P experience in Epcot. Come join me as I try out the activities, and tell you what I think about them.

I will tell you that the Pirate adventure was kind of like Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom: cute and clever, but doesn't hook you in. ...and you can hear all about that activity back in Podcast #103.

The Agent P experience was a different story all together. It was a lot of fun and I highly recommend it!
