I've Never...

This would have been a perfect chance to have a drinking game version of the podcast. Where is Len when we really need him?
Impressions de France et plus

I absolutely love this film. The music is beautiful, the scenery is gorgeous and I can't tell that it's dated like I can with China's movie. Matt & Mike (Newell), you guys should go see it on your trip.

Every trip I try to do something new. This month's visit will be easy since they've added Gran Fiesta and Monsters Inc but I'm also hoping to do something else like a tour, electric water pageant, Chip & Dale's campfire or Disney Quest.
Matt should be ashamed

Matt I can't believe you stole an idea from WDW radio and Lou Mongello. He had some guy on yesterday talking about the 5 trivia question at MGM and Lou's show being so great you must have stole it from him. How could you?

Where in the world is little Lenny Testa?

I heard that he is in the New Jersey Turnpike's Molly Pitcher Rest-stop holding his breath and stomping his feet and boycotting all Internet and podcasting activities until he gets to be on Lou Mongello's show just like Scopa and Hotchburg. Quote. "Hey I'm funny and I'm Italian, and I wrote a book and it's a big book too, bigger then Lou's two book combined and I'm in mensa so there. I should be on The WDW Radio Show too"

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring as Len's replacement... Being from Miami, driving on the wrong side of the road is a everyday occurrence. I hold a PHD in Fastfoodology. And I can plug just about any good or service imaginable. Plus I can help Matt with his Spanish translations. E-mail me with an offer. Please include the position's salary.

I've always wanted to do the Segway tour....has anyone had the chance to do that?

Mike Scopa mentioned to me that he always likes to try one new thing during each trip -- I think this is a great idea! It made me realize that I was doing all the same things (attractions, restaurants).
We're going this week and I've made ADRs for 4 new restaurants.

Fantastic show!

Great ideas and suggestions. I'm going to rethink some of my plans for my next trip and add something new & different. Also, sound quality was A+++ today. Thanks guys.

If I'm going on water rides I place my camera gear in 2 plastic bags (Put the camera in the bag then place that bag in another bag open end first) I've never managed to get anything wet using this method and I'm always "that guy" who gets absolutely soaked. Another idea would be to use a large zip shut bag but I find simple plastic bags are just easier to have on hand etc.

I'm SHOCKED you guys haven't seen Impressions de France. I think it is the 2nd best show in World Showcase behind O' Canada. And yes I'm including Reflections of Earth.

I too am paranoid that my camera will get wet! Going to have to figure that out since my daughter wants to go on this summer.

I am listening to the show #253 about the things you always wanted to do. Someone talks about wanting to do the Jones stunt show.....but am scared about being asked to do the stupid stunts.
Well....from what a friend told me..........that person is a plant.
so..go ahead and do it.

Hukana Matata!!!
