MiceCast

Did you miss us? Well we're back and we brought a couple friends for this one. Our pals Richard and Jeff from Houston join us as we try to examine the question: Has the Walt Disney Company built enough Resort Destinations? It has a couple tangents and it comes in at 1 hour 40 minutes, including the "relevant" music at the end.

Your hosts discuss WestFest and how someone used to only going to Walt Disney World would handle their first trip to Disneyland. This show is "only" 57 minutes.

Your hosts read some e-mails and spend some time on a "what if" scenario presented by a listener. The dining reservation topic also gets some more coverage. 1 hour and 23 minutes.

Continuing with the AA theme, your hosts ponder the demise of the AA (Audio Animatronic) attraction. This show may or may not end up having a companion video. Standard MiceCast fare to include adult beverages and adult language. This show is right short at 1 hour, 3 minutes.

Your hosts begin the show by trying to fathom why there are no Walt AA figures in Disney parks. It really didn't take all that long to come to a conclusion. They also read a couple of listener e-mails and because of some interesting discussion on the boards, they revisit the subject from the previous show. Which becomes a little heated and leads to a couple of F-Bombs and some other words you can'...

A Miceage article by Kevin Yee (http://www.miceage.com/kevinyee/ky021307a.htm) prompts your hosts to discuss the theories and conclusions contained therein. It does make for a little spirited discussion and for the show to have a more respectable running time: 1 hour 33 minutes.

Continuing with their experimental ways on the show's first anniversary, your hosts invite you along on a poker night. Richard is there and a fourth who is not really a Disney-type. This show is definitely PG-13 (maybe borderline R) which is about what you would expect when four friends get together for a night of cards. The two main topics of Disney discussion are Tom Sawyer's Island and Paul Pre...

Your hosts read an e-mail that asks what an experienced WDW'er should look for on their very first trip to Walt's Original. Then there is a half-hour tanget on some theme park operations. All of which gives you a 1 hour and 52 minute show. P.S.: Don't forget the "relevant" music at the end.

Yet another show with an in-studio guest. DPN Forum Member and Former Cast Member Artjaro gives us a behind-the-scenes peek at Kilimanjaro Safaris. It would also be a good idea to have Google Maps or Google Earth handy, as Artjaro gives a bit of an aerial tour as well. All this and the usual MiceCast tangents and nonsense gives you a 1 hour and 56 minute show.

For the final show of 2006, your hosts present a WDW Trip Report. In an effort to not talk strictly about MouseFest, we have two people share their impressions of their first ever trip WDW. Brad from Bringing Disneyland Home and Chris from The Big D give us their take. Also, a new "feature" for MiceCast. The exit music will now have some sort of tie-in to stuff talked about on the show. This weeks...

In the spirit of the holiday season, your hosts are "live" in the park reviewing Christmas decorations and details. Forum Member JohnDUB sits down with us for a while too. Show length is approx. 1hour 20 minutes. This show will also have a companion video.

Bob from Beyond Main Street finally upholds his commitment to come visit us on MiceCast. What follows is a two hour peek into what makes Bob tick. Yes, you read that right. This show logs in at 2 hours, 10 minutes. There were too many complaints about splitting up the long shows, so you get his one all at once. Make sure you stay through to the end for a little different exit music.

In light of the closing of Disneyland's gates this last Veterans' Day weekend, Greg and Mike discuss some ideas and options on how to get those crowds down to a manageable level. This show clocks in at 1 hour 34 minutes.

Greg and Mike (and a long lost host) get into the spirit of the season and go on a Ghostbuster tour of Disneyland. This is another "live" in-the-park episode that lasts approx. 1 hour 40 minutes.

Greg and Mike discuss the Year of a Million Dreams promotion and its effect on Cast Members and guests alike. Plus a few tangents to make sure the show lasts an hour.

Greg and Mike participate in a roundtable discussion with Jeff from Houston and DPN Forum Member Burnt Toast. They made every effort of focusing on the subject of synergy and theme park creativity, but tangents still made a big appearance. There were also a couple of F-Bombs, which surprisingly, none came from Greg.

Greg and Mike take a listener suggestion and try to examine WDW and DL shows and attractions that may be "out of place". In other words, they don't fit in with the theme of the area they are in. Although no F-Bombs are dropped, there is some decidedly PG-13 content in the first 10 minutes.

More of the same from the last show as your hosts, Greg and Mike, continue to discuss various show suggestions from listeners. No funny voicemail this time.

Greg and Mike discuss various show suggestions from listeners. Plus one hilariously funny voicemail. Standard MiceCast fare at 1.5 hours.

Returning to their MiceCast roots, Mike and Greg examine why the Magic Kingdom in Florida is neglected when compared to Disneyland. Jeff from Houston tags along for this in-depth discussion.

In an effort to spread class and culture to the DPN, Mike and Greg do a special episode with a Non-Disney podcaster. Mr. Mark drops by to talk about his podcast, his career, and his interest in Disney Parks.

Mike and Greg go over Greg's recent trip to Walt Disney World. When the dust settled, the time on the clock showed that we recorded for three hours. Finally, this is part 3 of 3.

Mike and Greg go over Greg's recent trip to Walt Disney World. When the dust settled, the time on the clock showed that we recorded for three hours. So this is part 2 of 3. We will post another part in a couple days.

Mike talks Greg into going over his Rusty Scupper planning tool so we can hear what Greg plans to do (well, eat) during his upcoming trip to WDW. They are doing this purely as an experiment to see how close or far-off Greg's trip will be from his plan.
