WDW Radio # 442 - Extinct Walt Disney World Things (Other Than Attractions) We Would Bring Back As Walt Disney World evolves over time, we lose and miss many things that have been lost along etc way. So let’s get a bit nostalgic this week and talk about some things in Walt Disney World other than attractions that may be extinct, but we wish we could bring back. Some you may remember, and some you may have never heard of, and one that sparks some interesting discussion and armchair Imagineering. Of course, I’ll ask what you’d like to bring back as well.

WDW Radio # 439 - Disney and New Orleans The connections between Walt Disney and New Orleans go far beyond New Orleans Square in Disneyland and the Port Orleans Resorts in Walt Disney World.

Having just returned from the real French Quarter, we’ll also discuss just how close the parks come to the real thing.

WDW Radio # 436 - Disney Legend Harper Goff In my continuing series featuring Disney Legends, this week I want to share with you the story and work of Harper Goff. One of Walt Disney’s earliest Imagineers, his work on films such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and in the parks is classic Disney storytelling at its finest. From the attractions you may know he worked on, to a few you probably didn’t, I think you’ll leave with a new appreciation of a truly gifted artist.

WDW Radio # 435 - Afternoon Tea at Disney's Grand Floridian We are often so busy rushing between attractions that we sometime forget that we’re on vacation when we visit Walt Disney World. Sometimes, you are so consumed with trying to see it all, that you miss more than you should. And because of that, many experiences (especially those outside the parks), are either overlooked, or, in the case of this week’s show, are one that you might not even know exist. So I invite you to join me as we take a step through time within the walls of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, for a special treat and memorable experience, as we will sample a cherished tradition of British refinement with Afternoon Tea at the Garden View Tea Room.
