Epcot - Living With The Land Ending Track And Ambiance

bonus

Hello Traveler! I know we are in danger of becoming the Living with the Land podcast (which would be admittedly amazing), but here's one last bit of Epcot Land bonus content for you. This is a bit of a strange one, even by our super odd standards, but it is nothing more or less than 10 minutes of the iconic music track that plays at the end of the attraction, with some ambience from the ride interspersed here and there. We made this because we wanted to hear it, and we hope you enjoy it as well. Look us up at @WalkaboutWDW on Instagram and drop us a note to say hi!

Living With The Land - We Don't Need A Reason [bonus]

bonus

Hello Travelers! We know it is holiday season, and it's that time of year where my favorite attraction of all time gets a holiday overlay of lights and decor - Living With The Land. I'll be honest, this little bonus ep is only happening because I've been thinking about this attraction lately, and I realized that though the audio for this is tucked away inside a couple of our episodes, we've never released it on its own. That issue gets resolved today. When you're having a rough day, or perhaps just need a hit of old-school Epcot - sit back, relax, put on some good audio gear, and drift away to the sound of pan flutes, running water, thunder, barking doggies, and the voice of Mike Brassell. Find Mike on Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikebrassell?lang=en Look us up at @WalkaboutWDW on Instagram and drop us a note to say hi! Find our producer Josh also on Instagram at @TheSteele.

S1 Ep 39Disney's Hollywood Studios Echo Lake At Christmas

Hello Travelers! In our opinion, there's no better place to be for old fashioned holiday atmosphere than the Echo Lake area of Disney's Hollywood Studios in December. Hear the crooners sing the classic holiday tunes amid the sounds of a bustling crowd right at dusk. The incredible tree with traditional decor is at the far side of the lake, with Gertie and her hat the left, and right in front of your is the completely calm Echo Lake with floating multicolored lights. Near the end, take a short stroll with us away from the lake and down Hollywood Blvd toward the park entrance. This is a short one but packed with good vibes. As always, use good listening devices as we always record in 4 channel surround sound. We hope you enjoy the episode and thanks so much for following along!

Hello and happy holidays travelers! It's high time for some holiday cheer, and this week you and I take an evening stroll throughout Disney's Hollywood Studios for no other reason than soaking up some holiday ambience and decor. We start off at the entrance near Crossroads, head down Hollywood Blvd, take in Sunset Blvd, the Echo Lake area, Grand Ave, and end up... well, you'll hear it. You'll get to listen to multiple eras of wonderful holiday music, as well hearing me attempt to describe the incredible decor of the Studios. We wind up with a little behind the scenes Walkabout chat regarding most downloaded eps, editing, and a fair amount of rambling about experiencing the Disney parks as works of art.

S1 Ep 35A Walkabout in Animal Kingdom For Holiday Vibes [ep 035]

Hello Travelers! This week, go on walkabout with us at Disney's Animal Kingdom where the holiday vibes are plentiful and most welcome. We start off in Discovery Island where we get to hang out while the Merry Menagerie is taking place. Hear the holiday music from the strolling violin and steel drum players. Heather was visited by a friendly bear (as you can see in the episode photo), and we saw the wonderful cast members puppeteering reindeer, penguins, and more. We then journey over past DinoLand USA to the Serka Zong area of Asia to hunt down some park merch (spoiler alert - they were sold out), and we end back near the front of the park to listen into the newly debuted holiday park ambient tunes. As always, use some good listening devices as we record in 4 channel surround sound. We hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening!

S1 Ep 33A Walkabout Afternoon In Harambe [ep 033]

Hello Travelers! Join us this week for a very low-key stroll through the village of Harambe in Disney's Animal Kingdom. We start off listening to live music which is once again in Harambe! Hear the musician play the African harp (kora) as he interacts with the guests. We then take a walk through the village, hunting down some of the excellent signage, and ending up in the Harambe Market where we hear the Wildlife Express train as it travels by us. NOTES: - The kora instrument you heard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kora_(instrument) - My wife Heather was with me as we recorded this, and she is in a wheelchair in the parks, and so I often gave the microphone to hear as we traveled around, and leaned in for some comments, some of which are a little muted because I didn't lean in far enough. This is how we do things here, and we had fun. Look us up at @WalkaboutWDW on Instagram and drop us a note to say hi! Find our producer Josh also on Instagram at @TheSteele.

Sit back and enjoy a walkabout in Hollywood Studios on a typical rainy Florida day. Hear the ambiance of Toy Story Land, take a ride on Alien Swirling Saucers, and then go for a quick stroll through Galaxy's Edge. EDITOR'S NOTE: Swirling Saucers is another one of those attractions that is just LOUD. It pegged our mic, and we'll probably take another crack at it later on with different settings.

Next we headed further down to the Hollywood Tower hotel to not only seek out some ambiance, but also take in a tour of the Tower of Terror store. After a brief stop for some dinner we walked over to the Grand Ave and Baseline Taphouse area, where we took some time to read the signage on the shops along Grand Avenue, and then took a left turn into Grand Park to get some Muppets vibes. We ended the night in Galaxy's Edge under the rising moons of Batuu and the sounds of arriving and departing ships.

Hello Travelers! Join us this week for a relaxing and meandering stroll through the Pandora - The World of Avatar in Disney's Animal Kingdom. We make multiple stops along the way to take in the incredible soundscape of the Valley of Mo'Ara - pausing by water features (because of course and because there are lots of them in this land), stopping into the Windtraders store, and parking for a bit under the floating mountains to soak up the crowd sounds and the waterfalls.

S1 Ep 25A Summer Walkabout Walk and Talk in Tomorrowland [ep 025]

Hello Travelers! This week our walkabout takes us back to the Magic Kingdom and Tomorrowland, for what we do best - wander aimlessly and enjoy park atmosphere. We start out at Tomorrowland Terrace and work our way through Tomorrowland, taking time to check attraction lines, poke into the Space Mountain store, and take a ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. We escape the heat for a few with a cold beverage and short part of the set from Sonny Eclipse in Cosmic Rays Starlight Cafe, and then we wind the episode up by tracking down some Guest Experience cast members to leave a cast compliment for a wonderful cast member that went above and beyond. Production notes: you'll note the episode outro audio seems a little off, and that's because your humble podcast host jostled the mic gain at the end of the day and screwed up the audio.

S1 Ep 22A Walkabout in Animal Kingdom - Thunderstorms, Dinosaur, and Harambe Market [ep 022]

Hello Travelers! Join us this week in Disney's Animal Kingdom as we do a summer walkabout. Hear the rumbling thunder as we begin our journey near the Tree of Life shortly after a central Florida summer thunderstorm rolled through. We make our way toward DinoLand USA and ride Dinosaur together, and then walk to Asia where I snag a table at the bar at Yak and Yeti for a quick dinner, and then rejoin you for a stroll over toward Harambe. Together we explore some of the signage of Harambe Market, because of course we do. Lastly, we end the episode near the floating mountains of Pandora. NOTE: if the audio for Dinosaur at points sounds a little off, it is because that attraction is INCREDIBLY loud. I had no idea. It pegged the mic volume in many places. When we do a future checkin, we'll ride again and tinker with the mic gain. Connect with us at @WalkaboutWDW on Instagram, and find our producer Josh at @TheSteele.

S1 Ep 19A Walkabout In Epcot - Friends, Le Cellier, The Land and Soarin [ep 019]

Hello Travelers! A trip to Epcot is in store for you this week - we met friends from California for a meal in Le Cellier and after they joined us to record this week's episode intro. Heather and I then ventured from the France pavilion back to The Land area for another ride through Living with the Land since the plastic seat dividers are now gone, and we record as we walk. We then (finally) record one of our favorite attractions - Soarin' Around the World. We end the episode next to ImageWorks where the leaping fountains are now leaping once again. Something a little different for this episode is that we recorded with two devices - our normal 4 channel surround sound mic, as well as a new binaural mic, and layered the audio for what I hope is an even more immersive sound. You can be the judge. Regardless, it was an excellent and restorative day in Epcot, and we hope you enjoy it. Connect with us at @WalkaboutWDW on Instagram, and find our producer Josh at @TheSteele.
