WDW‑Memories: Relive Walt Disney World Magic Through Immersive Audio

12 Days of Christmas, Memory 05, Daruma Vendor: Today we learn about New Years in Japan, and how the Daruma will bring you luck in the new year. It’s a little over cast today, and we only got there just as she was starting her sales pitch, so we will begin right as she starts. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2007/12/18/christmastime-memory-05/

12 Days of Christmas, Memory 04, La Befana: Like yesterday, we missed the start of this story, partially because we couldn’t find where she was. We turn around into a bright December sun in 2006, and there she is in the middle of the plaza. We probably only missed the first couple of minutes, and I regret this, because she was really quite good. Anyways, she will share with us her story of missing...

12 Days of Christmas, Memory 03, Germany: As we begin today’s journey, we arrive a little late to Germany to catch our story teller. It’s a beautiful evening in December 2006 as we run up to get there a minute after the story teller has started. She is telling us about how a traditional Christmas time is spent. Then she begins to tell us the story of the first Christmas Tree and the Nutcracker. Sh...

12 Days of Christmas, Memory 02, The Monkey King: We will visit the Monkey King in Epcot’s China pavilion on a beautiful evening in December 2006. The sun is setting, and the sky is beautiful. We hear the Monkey King approaching from our left, and of course sees me standing there with my video camera and has to say hello. Then he takes his place in the plaza in front of the Sun Palace. Then he dan...

As a special this year, we're going to celebrate with the 12 Memories of Christmastime in Walt Disney World. Each day, from now through Christmas day, I will be releasing a short podcast with minimal editing, and taking you directly to a special holiday treat, something that can be found at Walt Disney World during the Holiday season. 12 Days of Christmas, Memory 01, The Three Kings: We're going t...

Today’s Memory was requested by Anthony from New York City, he wrote: I was wondering if you had the audio to the great movie ride? I really enjoy this ride and it is a good audio file. … I enjoy this ride so much because last time i was on it, i was with everyone in my family, and i mean everyone, including aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers, sisters, mom and dad.

Today’s Memory was requested by Katie from Illinois. She says: “My family and I go every year and we never get tired of it! Anyway my aunt and I love to listen to your podcast! I would like to request one of my all time favorite rides. I would love it if you could make The Carousel of Progress and episode! I know that it is closed sometimes but if it's open next time your there I would love it if...

Today’s memory is a continuation from memory 20. We are returning today to the American Pavilion for two more sets of American Vybe for my friend Brian of the Mousin’ It Up Podcast. He wrote me a while ago asking if I had any streetmosphere audio. Unfortunately, I don’t have anything that I would consider streetmosphere, so instead we’re visiting the now extinct group, American Vybe. Show notes: h...

Today’s episode was requested before my hard drive broke. Today’s request came from Brian of the Mousin’ It Up Podcast. He wrote me asking if I had any streetmosphere audio. Unfortunately, I don’t have anything that consider streetsmosphere, so instead I’m going to do a show which I’m sure he would like anyway. Tonight we’re going to catch the American Vybe. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/20...

Today’s episode has been requested by multiple individuals. Today we take a ride through The Haunted Mansion. I don’t remember who exactly requested this first, but I remember receiving at least 3 different emails. So what would be better to get this show going again than one of my favorite attractions. Besides being an entertaining ride, it’s always cool, the line moves well, and the Cast Members...

Hello, and welcome to a special information episode of the Walt Disney World Memories Podcast. My name is Lou, and I’ll once again be your host. Today’s show is a bit different from the norm. I feel I owe you an explanation as to why there haven’t been any shows for the past month. Well, about a month ago, the worst thing that could possibly happen to the podcast did. I dropped my laptop and broke...

This episode is little late because I just got back from a week vacation to a part of the country where Cell Phones, Computers, and Internet were not a part of everyday life. Traci and I just spent a week in Greenville, Maine near Moosehead Lake (that's in Northern Maine). Out here, we hiked, slept, and ate and just had one of the most relaxing vacations ever. The people were AMAZINGLY friendly, t...

Today’s episode was suggested to me by Roy of West Point, Mississippi. Today we visit Maelstrom. Today’s audio was recorded in December our anniversary trip to Disney, and is in binaural sound so headphones on again. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2007/06/17/memory-017/

Today’s episode was suggested to me by Kirsty of Norwitch, UK. Today we visit Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith. Today’s audio was recorded in December on that same trip to Disney, and is in binaural sound. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2007/04/30/memory-016/

Today’s episode was suggested to me by 2 people, Zack W and Julie from the UK. Today we visit Splash Mountain. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2007/04/12/memory-015/

Today’s episode was suggested to me by Luke Manning of the Everything Disney podcasts. His request was The Wonders of Life Pavilion in Epcot. In his email to me, Luke said: "I was wondering if you could play some audio from the Wonders of Life pavilion. I know you were there in December, so u might have some. If not, then I'd also like to hear Journey into Imagination with Figment. Yeah, they're b...

Today’s audio is yet another recording I made while on vacation last December. Therefore, it’s the latest incarnation of Pirates, now staring Jack Sparrow. I like the way this came out, you can really pick up the ambient sounds. Listen to the group sitting behind me discussing if the first Jack is really him. I am still amazed at this AA. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2007/03/16/memory-013/

This audio is a little older and only in stereo, but I like it better than my current binaural recordings. I like it cause I’ve actually got a driver from South Africa, and it was shortly after it opened, so all the frills were still new and working. I recorded this back in 2001 when I was in Orlando for a convention and able to slip away for some fun at the parks. It will kind of jump strait in a...

The audio you’re about to hear was all recorded while on our recent anniversary trip to WDW, and a subsequent trip for my birthday. After hearing these performances, Traci said that she wanted these recordings on her iPod, well my love here you go. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2007/02/14/memory-011/

The audio you're about to hear I recorded on a night just after new years just before returning home from our Christmas vacation in Florida. We staked out a spot just to the right of the Partners Statue in the hub. The music was a little soft there, and the view is partially blocked by the castle. I think if we were over just a bit more, it would have been perfect. In any case, the audio comes out...

This episode features audio from It's Tough to be a Bug in the Animal Kingdom. You’re about to hear some great audio of the attraction I recorded in early December 2006 while on vacation with my wife Traci and her parents. We walked right up and through the doors in time for the start of the show. It’s fun to hear the response of the audience, but it wasn’t so crowded that you couldn’t hear the nu...

This episode features audio from around Walt Disney World. I recorded this just a couple of weeks ago during our anniversary trip to Walt Disney World. Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year! Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2006/12/26/memory-008/

This episode features audio from Soarin' in Epcot. This was recorded on my business trip back in April. This audio is great quality, beginning with the pre-boarding announcement and then through the full attraction. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2006/12/03/memory-007/

This episode features audio from The American Adventure in Epcot in celebration of Thanksgiving here in the United States. This was recorded on a family vacation back in August of 1999. The audio is fairly clean and is one of my favorite recordings of the attraction. Show notes: https://wdw-memories.net/2006/11/19/memory-006/

Today is a little early because I won't be near a computer on Sunday, but wanted to make sure it got out early. Today, like everyone else, I'm doing a scary attraction, but I'm not taking the obvious choice of the Haunted Mansion. I chose the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. This recording was also recorded on a recent business trip to Orlando. The audio came out pretty clean, since most everyone wa...
