Maximizing Your Time in the Walt Disney World Theme Parks Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #213 for the week of March 13, 2011. Although I talk, usually at length, about taking time to slow down and appreciate all of Walt Disney World’s details, stories and overlooked experiences, I also understand that for many individuals and families, they have limited time to enjoy all of the shows and attractions in the parks. And although we all tour differently, it’s about maximizing your time and getting the most out of your vacation experience. This week, we’ll look at some tips to do just that, including how using an online resource at home and in the parks can help you save time and money on your next visit. I’ll have some announcements and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #212 for the week of March 6, 2011. Walt Disney World is filled with overlooked experiences, hidden treasures, and even a few, wonderful locations that are often missed by even the most seasoned guest.

Disney's Wilderness Lodge - History, Stories and Details Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #208 for the week of February 6, 2011. When we talk about Walt Disney World, although often unnoticed by many guests, “everything speaks,” which means that everything we see and experience has and tells a story. From the attractions to the surroundings, there is meaning and reason behind their creation, and that also holds true for the Disney resorts. One of the very best examples of themed Imagineering, and storytelling based in reality is at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. From the story of the design, inspiration and creation of the Lodge itself, to the stories that the entire property tells, this week, Jim Korkis and I visit the resort and share the history of the Lodge, tour the lobby which has its own tale to tell, and explore the story behind the story of the Pacific Northwest resort I’ll have a few announcements incl
