Best. Podcast. Ever.
1st - I was so stoked that we had a new one in less than a month! Thanks John!
2nd - "I got a shout-out...I got a shout-out...!"
3rd - TOTALLY love the "guest-star" concept - welcome Todd! Great idea! I loved listening to the convo about old-school Disney. I was at Disney ON Opening -Day!! (ok, I was 9 months old but still...). It makes me want to go back and look at our old videos - my dad was a big video/camera guy. I have to see what is collecting dust in the old boxes... RetroDisneyWorld.com - great website!
*yes, I have lived in Switzerland for the last 10 years (and used to live near Gary in STL!) and we are thinking about our return in the coming year. (and when I do, Nikki and I will meet Mel and Christine for the Bee Gee coverband in Epcot. I will boogie w/ Christine and Mel/Nikki can make fun of us. I am totally ok with that. )
I download the podcasts and listen to them while doing laundry, driving, working, traveling, etc. Since you asked... in the last month, your podcast has been listened to in Stockholm, Bucharest, Hamburg, Amsterdam. The furthest away that I have listened to it was probably Malaysia. Most odd location - probably Belarus. SO...THANK YOU!!! b/c while I love living in Europe...when I am listening to you guys, it is like a big ol' awesome American-style Disney HUG...and I LOVE it. 
:mickey:listened to the podcast again while paying bills last night...
and on Take it or Leave it... TAKE IT!
I agree with the overall comment that it likely depends on where you are in your life (young kids/older kids/ NO kids/etc.)... Before kids, I wouldn't have bothered at all but now, my 9yo daughter loves the pool dancing / games and we really enjoyed our last night having pizza and watching A Goofy Movie.
I am hoping to squeeze in 1 overnight next month with the kids but we won't do the parks...we'll do smore's, Elec Water Pageant, the pool, maybe the movie, etc. Essentially, we'll just soak up the Disney...and appreciate the little things.
And... I wasn't sure what we were going to do exactly but the podcast chat was the perfect conversation for inspiration!! :mickey:
:mickey:Carolyn
What a fun podcast! Todd was a great guest. I really enjoyed all the talk about video restoration and Retro Disney World.:thumbsup:
I say Take It for resort events. We've always done things like the Electric Water Pageant, and the more we go the more we find ourselves taking the time to go back and enjoy the resort a bit more instead of being at the parks opening to close. I'm sure once our new addition is in the mix we'll be hitting up those pool parties, too. ;) :babyroll:
We show movies in our backyard but sadly we do not have a blow up screen. We just hang a bed sheet on the back of the house. I kind of get what Mel is talking about though. A school I used to work at had a carnival each year which featured blow up slides and obstacle courses and the kids got such a kick out of watching them get blown up. It is kind of cool

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Target. ;)
Loved the podcast and all the talk about "old school" EPCOT. My first visit was in 2007 so I have almost no context for most of the discussion, but found it fascinating nonetheless. My nana loved EPCOT and went to WDW regularly in the 80's and early 90's so it was cool to imagine all the fun she must have had back in the park's early days.
For resort activities, I can't vote because I haven't participated in any resort activity I can think of. I know they happen, but I mostly stay value and spend the bulk of my time at the resort sleeping. We do have a resort day planned during my trip next month (!) and I am sure the 7 and 9 year olds will want to participate in pool parties at the very least.

Last Trip: February 2024

Ha, I think we need a new podcast sponsor. As cool as it would be to have one, the free bed sheet works perfectly well. :thumbsup:

So, I'm only as far as "take it or leave it" but I felt I had to vote "leave it." When I think about it I'd like to say take it, but in reality when we're there we never ever use or take part in the resort activities so I guess in practice its a leave it for us. we do spend time at the resort, just don't get involved with things, maybe someday.......
will comment about the other topics when I finish listening to the podcast, great so far.
