Hopefully my cylon issues improve with my new location. My son says the internet is "FAST!".
Glad you got this episode out before you left John. Enjoy your celebratory cruise with your family!

Sounds like an awesome episode! Thanks for getting it to us. I had to look up Shane Gamble. Is he one of us? Is that a dumb question? How about a best of: attraction based on a movie that best captures the feel of the movie. Too long? I'm trying to think of something that hasn't been done.

I can't remember if this one has been done before, but...best thing to do that is not in one of the parks.
Super excited to hear episode 35!!
It's not easy being green....

YES! I am in the car a lot this week for work and vacation and I can't wait to download immediately and listen. You are too good to us to work so hard after your technical difficulties, John. Enjoy your well deserved family time!
How about Best of Best of's? Which of the previous Best Of segments have you enjoyed doing the most?

I've got 10 signed CD's waiting to roll to folks who suggest topics for the next BEST OF - we'll pick at random. BTW, the CD is AWESOME
Awesome! Thanks. And best wishes to Shane.

How about a best of Characters... either the best character interaction or rarest character you saw in the parks.
I think the glow with the show Mickey ears look pretty awesome, and I'm looking forward to experiencing them in person in less than a month!

The Interwebs are creepy
I was listening to the podcast while working from home today. I took a minute to check out my LinkedIn page and while I was scrolling through suggested connections for me, TWO people on the podcast were suggested as people I might want to connect with. While I was listening to them talk! How do "they" KNOW???
It's a brave new world, folks. :-)

Okay, that's weird.

Another great one everyone!
My strange/unexpected ride experience was in Splash. The ride stopped right before the big drop. We sat for a bit (they kept announcing that there was a commotion down stream and that we would move shortly, but to stay seated) and after just a few mins, they got everything up and running again. We had just started moving, when we heard a shout behind us, only to see a woman in the cart behind us jumping out of the ride vehicle. They stopped the whole thing again, and we got to listen to this woman have a full scale panic attack. She kept telling the CM's that she didn't want to ride, that her family made her, and that she thought she was going to die. They walked her out and restarted the ride. We were down at least 30 mins at that point, so they gave us each a fast pass for Splash, and another for any other ride in the park. Once our ride was over, we saw her with another group of CM's...I'm pretty sure she was going to get an ambulance ride. She was freaking out.

How about "Best of Cast Member interactions." Could cover everything from random acts of kindness to character meet-n-greet experiences. I can think of several note-worth experiences off the top of my head and I wonder if you all can too ...
As for unexpected ride experiences - getting evacuated off of Splash Mountain and walked through the "laughing place" and out backstage is one I'll never forget! That... and getting an announcement made on my behalf because I tried to FlipCamera our exit (oops!). Either way, that was incredibly cool (once they turned the song off!).
Thanks again for an awesome podcast. So happy to have gotten to listen before we leave for the world on Saturday!

Best of suggestion;
How about a "Best of" subtle Disney touches. ie. key under mat/items on shelf at Main Street train station. Things the casual guest might overlook but are true Disney.

If you guys NEED to have someone go to V&A to eat and give a dining review I would be happy to volunteer.
Great Podcast as usual! I have to say that Nanci - I do not know what I would have done if someone put their child alone on a ride with me. I mean a roller coaster is one thing - but a slow moving dark ride - not going to happen. WTH was she thinking?
I miss riding in the front of the Monorail - although I totally get why they don't do it anymore. I still miss it. It was something my daughter got to do and loved and it bums me out that my son will never have the experience.
That Adventures by Disney California trip sounds AMAZING and I can't believe I didn't know it existed. Dang. With kids it would be impossible to swing the cost and time but man that would have been cool to do 6 years ago.

I feel a little left out. In years worth of Disney trips I've never experienced a ride evacuation. We had a few delays here and there, but never to the point that we had to exit the ride. I want to exit the ride.

I was so flabbergasted that by the time I realized it, it was too late, we were in the hall of eyes.
At that point it didn't matter that it was not *my* 5 yr old, it was *A* 5 yr old and I would protect him. He inched his way over until he was practically in my lap.
Told him the same things I told my own kids at that age. "it will be OK, it is only Mickey Magic" "Mickey would never let any ghosts hurt you in here" etc etc.
After the ride the mom just said "Thanks" and left. I did not even know what to say to her then!

Something to think about for an Anniversary Trip! I think if we ever do a West Coast Intercot shindig, we should do the tour as well.

Be careful what you wish for 'cuz you just might get it! It will probably happen at the most inconvenient time for you. My unexpected ride story was that we broke down on Test Track just as we got to the outside track and were about to start speeding. It was supposed to be our last ride before grabbing a spot to catch Illuminations. We we stuck out there, slanted to the left and buckled in for 45 stinkin' minutes. They kept making announcements and we thought they were going to evacuate us but they didn't. An older foreign couple was in the back seat and they had no clue what the announcement was saying. It was HOT and HUMID and we missed Illuminations because of it! We did get to see some fireworks from the car
When it finally got back to running it crawled at a snail's pace to the end, and we did not get a re ride pass but we didn't complain.
