Ok, the Episode 8 is online! Download, Listen and Love! Should be hitting iTunes in the next hour or two. If you can't wait, listen right here on site, download or sync to your mobile device!
Best podcast so far. I especially enjoyed the segment on when to take a child to WDW. Wonderful stories of family memories. Perhaps one of your "best of" segment could include each of your favorite memories from past visits. I still remember a dinner in the castle with my daughter, niece and nephew. At 8 pm they turned off the lights and invited them to watch the fireworks from the castle windows. Still a magical experience.
Also, Ian, as a DVC member could you dedicate some time to talking about your experiences as an owner. In particular your thoughts on the limits on resells just announced.
Keep up the excellent quality of your podcasts and the interesting content you provide.
From here on out, we're going to start a new thread for individual discussion of each episode.
I'm going to attempt to move the comments regarding this episode from the other thread down to this one. We'll see how that goes. ;)
ETA: Posts merged in chronological time order, so it's a bit messed up this time. Forgive me! :blush:

Magical Journeys
I definitely plan on doing some DVC segments in the future, including a discussion about the recent resale change. In fact, I had that listed as a topic for this one, but we just ran over with too much other material. We'll probably cover that next time.
Good suggestion for the "best of", too! :thumbsup:
I think you gave my husband and I some baby fever when talking about the magical moments with your kids! (We aren't planning to have any for a few years yet, but who knows).
I loved your Pooh stories. I had a fun late night encounter with Chip and Dale in the MK. It was my 22nd birthday and the night DH proposed to me. It was EMH, and close to park closing-the park was nearly empty. Chip and Dale were wandering around Dumbo and no one was there. They started interacting with us, and pushed my cousin and husband around in an empty baby stroller. So much fun.
