So I don’t know about where you live, but here in Kentucky the weather has been about as perfect as you can get. It’s 70 degrees, clear blue skies, bright sunny days, and cool nights. Spring has finally arrived (of course so has allergy season). I know Orlando is much warmer right now, but I’d be lying if I said I’d wouldn’t rather be at Walt Disney World. And today we’re going to be visiting a memory of a newer show that is every boys dream. Today we get to watch cars zoom, fly, and blow up. Today we get to go back to Disney's Hollywood Studios and to visit Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show. .

Well hello from the home of the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Champion Louisville Cardinals. Yeah, that was some game the other night wasn’t it?! Now if only the Orioles could do the same thing in Baseball. But it’s the start of a long season, so we’ll just have to wait and to see how this plays out. In the mean time, there has to be some way to fill the time. Oh yeah, let’s maybe daydream about another Walt Disney World attraction. Today we’re going back to relive a memory we once visited before. Today we’re going back to Stitch’s Great Escape in the Magic Kingdom. Our request came from a voicemail from Brandon in Texas again. .

It’s another cold and wet Spring morning here in Kentucky. While I could be downhearted because spring still seems to be a week away according to the weather reports, I’m not. The Louisville Cardinals are rolling in the NCAA tournament. And even more exciting, today we’re putting the down payment on our first Disney cruise. That’s right it’s going to happen, the whole family is getting together for my dad’s birthday at the end of January. We’ve decided on a 4-day cruise on the Magic through the Caribbean. We’re so excited. If you’re going to be cruising at that time, drop me a line. I’d love to meet up with you. But let’s get to the real reason you’re here today. We’re talking about Disney parks and reliving our favorite Disney World memories. Today we’re continuing a request from Mandy. She requested both Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story Midway Mania, and today we’re going to get the second half of that request. .

So I’ve got some good news. We’ve started planning a Disney trip. And this is one that I have no experience with, so we’re enlisting some help from MouseFanTravel to help us plan a Disney Cruise. Yep, that’s right, we’re looking at taking a cruise. My dad is having a milestone birthday so the whole family is interested doing a cruise together. We’re looking at next January at this point, so plans are starting to come together and I for one can’t wait. We started watching some of the videos online and the kids got very excited to “go there”, but they had no concept of what we were talking about. It will be so much fun. I’m looking forward to seeing their faces as we enjoy this together, kind of like how I’m looking forward to seeing their faces on the attraction from today’s memory. .

As the winter days seem to draw on forever, I find myself drifting off to my happy place and dreaming of a trip to warm sunny Florida. I can escape this cold gray sky and feel the sun warming me as I stand on Main Street USA and listen as a smile envelopes you from the inside out. Since a Disney trip isn’t actually on the schedule yet, I will have to satisfy the escapist in me with virtual trips, such as through this podcast and A Window to the Magic. So I was listening to WTTM #362 - AACB Music Appreciation and was taken back to my college band days. Now, we were never as good as the All American College Band, but we had some talented folks. I then realized that I never finished the other half of Christophers request. Remember in Memory 087 - Main Street, U.S.A. he said he’d love to hear a marching band too? Well today we’re going to hear one of the best in Walt Disney World. Actually, it might be the only one left in Walt Disney World since the Future Corps drum and bugle corp left years ago (go back to Memory 002 - The Future Corps to hear them again). .

It’s that time of year again. Pitchers and Catchers are reporting to spring training, and this morning I’ve got my Orioles mug filled with coffee here beside me with hopes this year of getting past the Yankees this time and taking the pennant. Baseball to me is one of those wonderful escapes from the hectic pace of a regular day, where time slows down and you can relax and enjoy the sunshine and warmth for a few hours. But we all know another place that allows us to slow down and enjoy some sunshine and warmth right? Walt Disney World definitely comes to mind. But when you can’t be there, we are left with just our memories, but those can be very powerful to. Maybe today’s memory will fill you with warmth, especially if you’re still buried in 3 feet of snow. .

Well things got derailed here this yesterday. I was supposed to record this podcast first thing in the morning, but that didn’t happen because I had to go to the basement for shelter because of tornado warnings in Louisville. Really? In January? Thankfully everything was fine, and it looks like most of Louisville came out untouched, but still delayed my recording time. Often when you’re lying around just waiting for the all clear, it’s nice to escape with a happy memory, and I can think of no better place to escape to that Walt Disney World. .

It’s another cold winters morning here in Kentucky. My Redskins are eliminated from the playoffs. The Orioles are still a month away from Pitchers and Catchers Reporting. And the buzz of March Madness is still a distant hum at this point. So what is a sports fan to do? Talk about Disney of course! Today is chance for us to relive an attraction that is lost. Today we visit Tarzan Rocks!, a former stage show that played daily in Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World. .

First off I want to wish everyone a belated Merry Christmas, and also a Happy New Year! I’m sorry I had to take a bit of time off. As you know from a lot of my podcasts, my anniversary is at the beginning of December. Then there’s Christmas, and to add to the whole chaos, I have just been promoted to management in the office and am taking on a large number of new responsibilities. But now that things have started to settle down, I’m glad to report that I’m back and the show will return to normal once again. So let’s get to it shall we? I’d like to now mention all those who are watching me right now. Yes you heard right, watching. I’m trying something out and would love to hear your feedback. If you’re interested in a bit of the behind the scenes into the WDW-Memories Podcast, I’ve begun using Google+’s Hangout to broadcast while I’m recording the intro and outro’s for each episode. These videos are later available on our YouTube chanel if you don’t feel like getting up at 5:30AM Eastern US time to join me, so don’t worry. If you’d like to know when I’m recording, make sure you follow the WDW-Memories Google+ Page, and I’ll try to update scheduled events there as I’m planning. Ok, housecleaning done, let’s get down to the real reason you’re listening. Today’s memory is a good one, and one that seems to be very popular. We’re going to return to the movie attraction Honey, I Shrunk the Audience in Epcot. .

Over the years, I’ve heard many debates about being able to hear the music when you’re at ‘Ohana, especially the Holiday Wishes version. We’ll I figure I’ll put that debate to rest. It’s 2006, and Traci and I were planning to finish up our trip to Walt Disney World with an evening at the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but it was raining, and I mean a lot. They announced that most everything was going to be canceled so Traci and I talked to Guest Services and they graciously gave us some tickets to return to the park at another time. We decided to try and take our reservation at ‘Ohana for dinner that we missed earlier and got in just fine. About half way through our dinner, the lights dimmed and the music came up. I clamored for the video camera and quickly began to record. Unfortunately we’re not in the front row, but after a bit the kids in front of us will settle down and we’ll be able to see just fine.

So I don’t know about you but I’m pumped for Christmas. I just feel like “Ok, Thanksgiving is done, time to turn on the Christmas music”. I also start reflecting to a time when Traci and I were about to take a trip to Walt Disney World, just the two of us, for a whole week. All the planning, all the research, and all the excitement were building to what was going to be a great anniversary trip. It turned out to be a great trip, one filled with many memories, memories such as catching Turtle Talk with Crush for the first time with my wife. Then later, we built more memories of this attraction with first visits for my family, my daughter, and then this summer was my son’s. .

One week ago, the United States of America practiced a fundamental principle and exercised our right to vote for our new President. As it turns out, we selected our old President for one more term. The results of great tradition is what we are here to relive today. Our memory for today is The Hall of Presidents Attraction at Magic Kingdom® Park. .

So yesterday as I was leaving work the internet blew up with news of Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilms. I know, it’s major and it probably things in the future. Maybe it even opens the door to the “Disney-Lucas Hollywood Studios” in the future, but today it doesn’t change our memories of our trips to Walt Disney World, and that’s what this podcast is about. So let’s get to a real memory of a a great streetmosphere show at Epcot. .

It’s another early morning. I’ve got my Baltimore Orioles mug of coffee and a laptop and I’m ready to begin putting together our next memory. Sadly the O’s have been knocked out of the postseason, and so have the Nationals and Reds, so I don’t have much of a vested interest in what’s left of the Baseball Postseason other than someone beat the Yankees. Of course by the time this goes out, maybe Detroit will have completed my request. Here’s hoping. In the meantime, let’s talk about something that helps us escape from all our troubles, and that is vacationing in the best place in the world, Walt Disney World. Today’s request is a different one. First off, it came from Facebook, and secondly it’s not your traditional attraction. Today, we’re going to get to ride on the Walt Disney World Buses. .

So how many of the Walt Disney World attractions have you done? Alright, maybe it’s easier to ask, how many have you not done? Well as of June my list of missing attractions got one shorter, and because of that, I finally have this audio memory I can share with you. Today we’re going to catch a ride on the teacups, or more formally known as the Mad Tea Party in the Magic Kingdom. .
