The History of the Swan and Dolphin

Authored by: AquaViola on Wednesday, December 05 2012 @ 10:41 AM CST

If you want to know the history of the Swan and Dolphin hotels, then listen to Disney Dish with Jim Hill, Episode 6 - http://blog.touringplans.com/2012/03/...t-resorts/

In this episode at about 15', Jim Hill talks to the other co-host, whose name temporarily eludes me but I think has a 'Ding' as a middle name, about why the hotels were built where they were built, and why they were built in a different style.

I'm claiming Repetition for Mr. Scopa's opening. He used his first opening in Episode 27.

It is sad that I know this?

Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?

Authored by: AquaViola on Wednesday, December 05 2012 @ 11:12 AM CST

This joke is probably older than that, but I've heard it in a 1950s You Bet Your Life with Grocho Marx, along with What State is named after George Washington?

Episode 1121 - Listener Questions

Authored by: bflynn on Tuesday, December 11 2012 @ 03:43 PM CST

What time is the 3:00 parade?

Yes, it's an inside joke, but you don't know how inside. There's the Disney geek "ha ha, tourist" joke side of it. But the "joke" goes deeper because to Disney cast members, it's a not a joke at all. As the Disney Institute points out...the 3:00 parade does not start at 3:00 at every point. It might not start until 3:20 at the end of the parade route. So cast members are taught to respond with a question - what are you trying to do or why do you want to know. The actual joke is that it isn't a joke at all.
