Dave's Disney View

    Overview:  Back in 1989, the Disney MGM Studios opened as a real working movie studio. They let us in on some movie making secrets and featured some cool little shows that showed how things work. Soundsation was a booth where you could hear Holophonic sound. I explore the history and play the audio for you. Notes: This was a simple pleasure. So technically simple, yet very powerful in its presentation.

  Overview:  Today's episode is a look at my YouTube series Lost and Found at Walt Disney World.  I talk a little about behind the scenes.  I give a sense of what I am doing with the series.  And I tell you about the episodes that are currently available.  I hope you'll check out the series! http://yt.vu/+LostFoundWdW  Notes: As I mention in the podcast, these videos are fun to make.  I'm really enjoying it.

  Overview:  I had a chance to visit over the holidays, so I talk about that experience - and mildly rant about the holiday experience at Disney (for me, personally, its too much, but that's just my opinion).  And I provide a review of Ralph Breaks the Internet.   Notes: The audio quality is less than perfect, and I apologize for that up front.  :)  Seems I had an issue with the microphone I was using.  By the way the picture is me in front of the purple wall. Oh and....I got my son to try the Beverly.  That was ... amusing.   Don’t forget about my video series: lost and found in WDW! http://feeds.feedburner.com/LostWdw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ6ZFPqt9Lv2WU3bq9DKf1g --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daves-disney-view/message

  Overview:  Today, I take a look around to see what's cooking - literally. I'm on a quest to find vegetarian dining at all 4 theme parks, and in some resorts. Here's to hoping you take some time on your next trip to check out some of these terrific options! Notes: Its not all that hard to find really good (and tasty!) vegetarian options around the parks at counter service restaurants.  And even vegan options are popping up more and more. As I noted in the podcast, when in doubt about any ingredients for vegetarian reasons or allergies, just ask! >>  I listened to the podcast and realized I made an editing error while in the animal kingdom. Oops. >> I start talking about the vegetable stack at the harambe market then suddenly switch to restaurantasaurus to talk about the black bean burger. >> Then switch back to the stack and back again. >> I must have dragged an edit in error. My bad.

  Overview:  Today’s podcast is a tribute to the Golden Horseshoe which begat the Diamond Horseshoe at WDW which begat the Tokyo Disneyland version of the Golden Horseshoe. I talk about it’s history, what Walt created, and Disney Legends Betty Taylor (aka Slu Foot Sue) and Wally Boag (aka Pecos Bill). Notes: I find it intriguing how much Walt loved the old west and included many elements at DisneyLand. I wanted to point out that while it’s clearly a “saloon” and modeled as such, Walt was careful to have Slu Foot Sue refer to it as a “cafe” The audio of Wally Boag as Jose is pulled from the “barker bird” who sat outside the Tiki Room for many years. Here’s Walt and Lillian’s anniversary party.

  Overview:  Today, I have a look at some off-the-beaten path Disney news, sprinkled in among stories that may be a little more familiar.  Tune in and enjoy! Notes: I include thoughts about Club 33, a lawsuit against Disney, a few guest-related issues, and things like that.  I wanted to try something different this week.  Let me know what you think!

  Overview:  I visited Walt Disney World in late October as part of my annual tradition of enjoying the Food and Wine Festival.  This time, I went at it alone, but made new friends as I went to various booths.  And since I was there, I visited all the parks to check out construction activities, see what was new, and to of course ride a few favorite attractions. Notes: I had some fun hanging around, working on my video series, and enjoying some food!  I noticed with iOS12 my iPhone automatically added a location name to each recording, which was pretty slick.  And except for one recording, it was accurate.  The one that was wrong was when I was near the Tusker House in the Animal Kingdom.  For some reason, it said the recording was "Restroom" which I thought was pretty amusing.

 Overview:  In 1993, Nestle took over as the title sponsor for The Land.  One of the changes they made was to close The Kitchen Kabaret, ending the run of veggie, veggie, fruit, fruit.  In March of 1994, Food Rocks was opened in its place. While it was similar in nature - food singing about good nutrition - it was quite a different show. Notes: Food Rocks was sort of like a rock concert, and featured the voice talents of real world singers such as Tone Loc, The Pointer Sisters, and Chubby Checker.   Checkout my YouTube channel: lost & found in Walt Disney World.  http://feeds.feedburner.com/LostWdw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ6ZFPqt9Lv2WU3bq9DKf1g --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daves-disney-view/message

 Overview:  After a renovation, Symbiosis was unfortunately closed.  Opened in its place was The Circle of Life: an Environmental Fable.  This show stretched the nature of The Land to now talk about conservation through the lens of our friends from the Lion King.  Notes: While Symbiosis was a cinematic marvel, The Circle of Life was less so, though it did reuse scenes from the original film   Checkout my YouTube channel: lost & found in Walt Disney World.  http://feeds.feedburner.com/LostWdw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ6ZFPqt9Lv2WU3bq9DKf1g --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daves-disney-view/message

 Overview:  Within the Land pavilion was a remarkable move called Symbiosis that celebrated man's creative partnership with the land. It included marvels of past and present technologies and accomplishments. I talk about this film, and what it was all about.    Notes: The film was directed by Paul Gerber, and he actually brought people to see it as a living resume.  It was shot in 70mm (large film format) and included shots from around the globe.   Checkout my YouTube channel: lost & found in Walt Disney World.  http://feeds.feedburner.com/LostWdw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ6ZFPqt9Lv2WU3bq9DKf1g --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daves-disney-view/message

 Overview:  The Land is another of Epcot’s opening day pavilions in future world.  The objective was to look at the earth, agriculture, and ecology.  in the original design, the large atrium would have been an arboretum.  It featured a large mosaic, a pretty amazing film, a boat ride, and a show about food.    Notes: The pavilion has been through three general iterations in its history, based on sponsorship. But it still kept its focus on earth-based science.   Checkout my YouTube channel: lost & found in Walt Disney World.  http://feeds.feedburner.com/LostWdw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ6ZFPqt9Lv2WU3bq9DKf1g --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daves-disney-view/message

 Overview:  On today’s podcast, I tell the tale of Disney’s acquisition of the land in Florida, and how the company managed to get autonomy. It’s a tale that I haven’t heard others talk about much and I wanted share some of the details.    Notes: I’ve got additional information contained in my video series Lost & Found in Walt Disney World which I would encourage you to check out.   Checkout my YouTube channel: lost & found in Walt Disney World.  http://feeds.feedburner.com/LostWdw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ6ZFPqt9Lv2WU3bq9DKf1g --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daves-disney-view/message

 Overview:  A little news for you - from Disneys environmental consciousness, to new ideas for creating immersive technology, to the nearly final acquisition of 20th century fox, I’ve got you covered.  Plus, I take a look at the Solo Star Wars movie.     Notes: Yeah, I was not a fan of the Star Wars Solo movie.  I wanted to be, I really did.  But it just wasn't good....   Checkout my YouTube channel: lost & found in Walt Disney World.  http://feeds.feedburner.com/LostWdw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ6ZFPqt9Lv2WU3bq9DKf1g --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daves-disney-view/message

 Overview:  I took my summer vacation, and went on an historical tour.  A tell you a little about that - and then connect it back to Disney and talk about the proposed, but never built, Disney America.    Notes: I have to wonder if Disney America would have been a fun place to visit.  Would they have told a good story?  Been historically accurate?  Or a little of both?   Checkout my YouTube channel: lost & found in Walt Disney World.  http://feeds.feedburner.com/LostWdw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ6ZFPqt9Lv2WU3bq9DKf1g --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daves-disney-view/message

 Overview:  Today's podcast is a look back at the original ride in the Land Pavilion: Listen to the Land.  Come along and listen to a live guide recording from sometime in the early 1980s.  Its fun.  And the song is great!  Notes: Although there were some terrific things I saw on my first couple of visits, the one that made the most lasting impression was Listen to the Land in the (surprise!) Land pavilion at Epcot.  There was something sciencey about it all, and its size was truly amazing.  Checkout my YouTube channel: lost & found in Walt Disney World.  http://feeds.feedburner.com/LostWdw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ6ZFPqt9Lv2WU3bq9DKf1g --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daves-disney-view/message

 Overview:  After taking my daughter to the Animal Kingdom - and talking about it - I started thinking about all the trips I took to Disney World as a school group.  I reflect on that, tell you some stories, and reminisce about the experience. Notes: One of the really great benefits of growing up in Florida was having the ability to take annual school trips to the parks, in addition to the regular family trips.  It really couldn't be beat.  Checkout my YouTube channel: lost & found in Walt Disney World.  http://feeds.feedburner.com/LostWdw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ6ZFPqt9Lv2WU3bq9DKf1g --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daves-disney-view/message

 Overview:  My daughter had an opportunity to go on a school field trip to the Animal Kingdom, and I went along to chaperone.  It was fun, but very different.  I talk about my day.   Notes: My problem with the Navi'i river journey is that there's no story, nothing to grab you.  It looks nice, but is pointless. IMHO that's exactly what Avatar (the movie) was so, I guess mission accomplished!  And to clarify, I only had enough time at the end of the day to do one attraction - and the short wait time was appealing since I still had to get home.   I've now got a YouTube channel setup for my new series lost & found in wdw. http://feeds.feedburner.com/LostWdw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ6ZFPqt9Lv2WU3bq9DKf1g --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daves-disney-view/message

 verview:  Today, its a dose of Disney news. I've got goings on in the WDW parks, and talk about transportation around WDW.  I've also got some things outside of the Orlando the park - namely some new technology Disney has come up with, and an update on 21st Century Fox.  Notes: The monorail sign at the top of this entry was added to all cars after there was an incident with one monorail where the door wouldn't close.  To be clear, not every car in every monorail has a problem - its just an ongoing maintenance problem.
