Ep 285WDW Radio Show # 225 - June 4, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin - History, Secrets, Surprises and Stories Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #225 for the week of June 4, 2011. In Walt Disney World, the concept that “everything speaks” holds true not just for attractions and shows, but restaurants, environments and even the resorts. And with that, it means that everything see you encounter tells a story, and every detail has meaning, even in places you might not otherwise expect. And that holds true for the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. This week, we’ll take a very close look at the interesting history of these resorts, their theming, secrets, and myths that surround them as well. It’s a fascinating look into two buildings with a deeper Disney connection and story than you might expect. Stay tuned for some information about upcoming events including our fundraising for Japan before playing some of your voicemails at the end of the show.

Ep 273WDW Radio Show # 219 - April 24, 2011 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Partners Statue DSI: Disney Scene Investigation and Interview with the voice of Mickey Mouse, Bret Iwan Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #219 for the week of April 24, 2011. Walt Disney once said that he hoped that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse. This week, we’ll remember just that fact, as I have two segments that both involve Mickey Mouse. First, we’ll venture into the Magic Kingdom, and explore not an attraction, land, shop or show, but a single location. In fact, a single statute. In this week’s DSI: Disney Scene Investigation, we will look at the history and story behind the iconic Partners statue of Walt and Mickey, located in the central hub. The legacy of, and bond between Walt and Mickey goes far beyond one of simply artist and creation. In fact, Walt actually lent his voice to his most famous work as far back as 1929. Over the years, Walt passed that torch to other men who became the voice of Mickey, and this week, I have a chance to talk with Bret Iwan, the man, who eighty years after Mickey spoke his first words on screen, took over that role of a lifetime. We’ll talk about his personal story of becoming the voice of Mickey, the legacy, and the future. I’ll have some additional information for you, 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.

This May, they will celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Walt Disney World with Destination D and a companion scavenger hunt, and later this summer, the D23 Expo returns to Anaheim, California . This week, I welcome in Jeffrey Epstein, the Disney Geek from D23 to learn more not only about him, but some of the history of D23, some of the upcoming special events, what’s new and what’s next.

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.

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 including details about upcoming Meets of the Month in Walt Disney World, and then play 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.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #205 for the week of January 16, 2011. This past weekend, more than 54,000 athletes from around the world descended on Walt Disney World, as many do year after year, not for the attractions, shows or dare I say even the wonderful dining options, but to run.

So on this week's roundtable, we'll look at the Walt Disney World Marathon as well as some other endurance events, and possibly introduce you to the idea that it's not just for athletes, but for friends and entire families as well. Whether you visit to run, cheer, volunteer or for your favorite charity, it's one of the most amazing experiences any Disney enthusiast can enjoy.

Live Restaurant Review of Todd English's BlueZoo Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #204 for the week of January 9, 2011. An important part of the Walt Disney World experience for me and many other people is enjoying the wide variety of dining options that are available. And while there are many tried and true favorites, there is also a large number of locations that are very much overlooked. This week, we explore what I believe is one of those restaurants. Located in the Walt Disney World Dolphin, Celebrity Chef Todd English’s BlueZoo offers fresh seafood in a spectacular setting where both the food and décor are works of art. We’ll do a live restaurant review of BlueZoo and let you share in our overall dining experience, as we also chat with our server, the General Manager, Sommelier, and Executive Chef.

Ep 238WDW Radio Show # 202 - December 26, 2010 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Exploring the UK Pavilion in Epcot - Fantasy or Reality? Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #202 for the week of December 26, 2010. As we wander the promenade and explore the pavilions of World Showcase in Epcot, we find ourselves transported across the globe to exotic destinations around the world. In doing so, we are afforded the opportunity to share in and learn about the people and their culture through attractions, exhibits, their food and even direct communication with those that call these places home. But as we do so, sometimes we wonder just how much these pavilions actually reflect the regions upon which they are based. This week, we will explore one of these pavilions with guests who hail from the United Kingdom. We will wander the streets and tour the interiors of these buildings to look at how, how well, and why these landmarks and extraordinary details exist. I’ll have a few announcements and play 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.
