Can't wait! But have to wait to listen tomorrow morning. Congratulations Meg! Great question. My family doesn't quite understand my love for Carousel of Progress, so I will give in and skip it now and then but I love it.

If you're ever looking for more giveaway items, I'm willing to part with some signed books. Will be sure to check out more from Shane Gamble.

SO EXCITED YOU PICKED MY TOPIC! Can't wait for the CD. I've been enjoying the stuff you have been posting on Facebook.

Haven't listened to the podcast yet (I'm a cheater, I come read the notes first) so I'm sure I'll have more to say later.

Thanks! So not only are you a Disney loving author, but you love CoP too? That's just too cool. CoP is exactly what I was thinking of. My family thinks I'm nuts, but I have to see it at least once a trip. After years of missing it because of it's previous 'seasonal' status, I won't miss it anymore!

If you ever have a second, could you PM me the title(s) of your book(s)? I'm a pretty avid reader and always need a new book to read!

Oh man. I can't remember where A Fresh New Me came from. I'll listen to it during work tomorrow but I bet I miss the line.

[TinkerbellT421]

Gary graces us with his presence in this one?!?

I can never remember where the titles come from.

I missed one! And I sent in an email telling everyone I loved them.

One recently. There was a time when Carol and I couldn't seem to be on the same episode. That was back when she had power.

Wow! This is great, can't wait to listen to this! Although this does seem to reward my ridiculous suggestions so I'm not sure its the best idea....but thanks anyway, you guys are the best.
Now I will have something to listen to (the podcast, not the cd, cant expect the mail to move that fast) on my flights to MCO next week, besides the kids of course.

Are you Terry?

I'm so sorry, but I tend to have issue keeping everyone straight across our social media world.

[Mendelson]

Um, am I the only one not seeing the podcast here http://intercot.com/interactive/insiderlive/ ?

What a bait-and-switch! This is unacceptable! I'll take my time-killing, work-avoiding Disney internet time to another site!

The link is always in the episode thread here - but yep - I did forget to add the link to the main page as well.

It's there now

Listening at work this morning!

Edit- love the NASCAR discussion. This weekend NASCAR fans will be flocking to the Finger Lakes in NY, where I live, for the big race weekend in Watkins Glen. It's absolutely pandemonium in a small tourist town, but it brings a lot of money into the area so I can't complain too much!

[Dopey's Girl]

I would so do an Intercot cruise...that would be beyond awesome. West coast would be perfect, because after hearing Michael describe DL, I'm dying to get back there!!!

Another great podcast all!

[mickeyman42]

Are you Terry?

Yes I am! And yes its impossible to keep up with usernames on multiple platforms, ive had to use mickeyman42 on non disney boards just to keep myself straight!

[SBETigg]

Melanie, I totally agree with you about the light-up mouse ears being distracting. I hope it works out well, and not many 6 foot tall guys would actually wear them probably- but I can see it being a concern. I'm always distracted by light up things that are not truly part of the show.

And POTC does not need a Fastpass. Are you kidding me? Maybe they're anticipating some demand for the Next Gen Fastpass, as in that people, if able, will want to schedule their whole days in advance so they need to include rides like POTC and HM. I don't want to be that scheduled, but we'll see how it goes.

Ew. My audio sounded awful. My upload must have been downsampling me.
