WDW Radio: Your Guide to the Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise and More Disney Magic!

CarsLand and Buena Vista Street Recap and Review LIVE from Disney California Adventure Park Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #279 for the week of June 17, 2012. This week, I'm coming to you live from the cutest little town in Carburetor County - Radiator Springs, as the town from Disney-Pixar's Cars has literally been brought to life at CarsLand at Disney California Adventure Park. I had a chance to visit CarsLand and Buena Vista Street for a special sneak preview of the lands that opened on June 15, and will bring you a full review, recorded live from CarsLand. We'll discuss the two lands, their history (both literal and according to Disney backstory), details, attractions, shops, restaurants and so much more. We have a lot to cover from an experience that had me happier than a tornado in a trailer park! I'll then have the answer and winner for last week's Walt Disney World Trivia Question of the Week, and pose a new Cars-themed question for your chance to win a special CarsLand prize package! Be sure and stay for the announcements, including information about the next WDW Radio Meet of the Month in Walt Disney World, as well as some of your voicemails at the end of the show. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show. ------------------------------------- THANK YOU for your support by voting WDW Radio Best Travel Podcast for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011! ------------------------------------- Visit http://WDWRadio.com for our Disney blog, videos, events and more!

Interview with Cindy Morgan (Lora/Yori from Tron), Trivia Contest and more! Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #277 for the week of June 3, 2012. 30 years ago, a Disney film was released that would forever change the science fiction genre, as well as animation, video gaming and the lives of many young geeks like myself. Smart, stylish and fun, the game grid of Tron was groundbreaking, and recently, Tron was reborn with the Tron: Legacy film (and Tronorail at Walt Disney World) in late 2010, ElecTRONica at Disneyland, and this week, the story continues on Disney XD with Tron: Uprising. One of the original film's stars was Cindy Morgan, who played the dual role of Lora and Yori, and she joins me this week in an exclusive interview. We talk about her career and roles in iconic films like Caddyshack, and of course, Tron, as she shares stories of the making of the films, the Tron phenomenon, her fans and much more. I'll have the answer and winner for last week's Walt Disney World Trivia Question of the Week, and pose a new one for your chance to win a Disney prize package. I'll have just a few quick announcements before playing some more of your voicemails at the end of the show.

Walt Disney World Marathon - The Experience, Training Help, Tips and more Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #252 for the week of December 11, 2011. Returning this January, Marathon Weekend in Walt Disney World has become more than an endurance event, and instead is a weekend full of races and activities for every age and ability. Fun, memorable and maybe even a bit magical, they afford an opportunity to experience the parks in a very unique way. This week, we'll look at getting ready for the events whether it's your first race or you're en experienced veteran. We'll discuss training, equipment, getting over the fear of participating, myths, tips and much more. If you're running in any future event, thinking about it, or just want to learn more about that it entails by hearing from a panel of people from every level, there's something here for you. I'll have a few announcements, and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show.

The Muppets In Walt Disney World - A Look Back... and Forward Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #251 for the week of December 4, 2011. With the popularity of the recents Muppets movie release, many of us are looking back fondly at our love of the Muppets growing up on TV and in film. But for Walt Disney World fans, the Muppets also had a presence in Disney's Hollywood Studios in addition to MuppetVision 3D for many years. This week, we'll hop aboard my Walt Disney World Wayback machine and look back at the marriage of Disney and the Muppets, The Muppets at Walt Disney World TV special, shows and attractions in the parks, what could have (and should have) been, and the future of the Muppets in the Disney Parks. I'll have the answers and winner of last week's "Where in the World Have You Heard This?" Contest, a few announcements, and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show.

The Orange Bird and a new Disney Contest Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #250 for the week of November 27, 2011. In the past 40 years, we've seen some pretty interesting things at Walt Disney World: A waterskiing Goofy, gunfighters shooting it out in Frontierland, singing fruit, a rapping Mickey and much more. But until recently, many people couldn't recall seeing a character walking around in Adventureland with a giant orange head, leaves for arms and a green stem sticking out of his head. Today, of course, we fondly recall (and miss) the Little Orange Bird, and in this week's show, Jim Korkis and I will take a look back in time at the Sunshine Tree Terrace and it's one-time host (and hostess). We'll explore the origins of the Orange Bird, the Sherman Brothers song, why he and Anita Bryant may have flown the coop, and the recent resurgence of our little orange friend. I'll then pose a question for you to share your thoughts on as well. It's also been way too long since our last contest, so this week, so listen carefully for your chance to win a Disney prize package in my "Where in the World Have You Heard This?" Contest. I’ll have a few announcements, including the date and location of the next Meet of the Month in Walt Disney World, and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show.

Live Music in Epcot Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #249 for the week of November 20, 2011. World Showcase in Epcot affords guests unique opportunities to learn about and experience cultures from across the globe via a promenade that spans just over one mile. And while speaking with Cast Members from those host countries, tasting their food and exploring the pavilions are just a few of the ways to truly get a sense of the culture and history, another way is through their music. This week, we'll look at some of the live musical acts that can be found in Epcot, discuss some of our favorites, offer tips on how to get the most out of experiencing the acts, and ask you to join in the conversation as well. I’ll have a few announcements and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show.
