For this show, we have a battle of the Disney Presidents/CEOs as we explore Michael Eisner versus Bob Iger: WDW Theme Parks. This is the start of a long running series of shows comparing these two.

We explore what has happened in Walt Disney World under the tenures of each President/CEO. We look at what additions to the park have taken place, what park services (i.e. fastpasses, dining plan, photopass, etc) have been implemented, what promotions have taken place (i.e. Year of a Million Dreams), and who upholds the “Magic,” aka Walt’s Legacy.

For this Hub, we discuss...well, we discuss anything and everything Eli wishes to discuss. We removed the reigns and let Eli loose on the Magic Our Way podcast. We talk about everything from Infinity Stones to attraction dimensions and everything in between.

On this episode, we once again flex our creative muscles and do some armchair imagineering on our own with a new segment we call, Classic? Or TRASH IT!

The way this segment works is as follows. We decided on a park to work on...in this case, we chose the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. Then, we each chose a land to work on so that we did not all work on the same thing. Within each land, we chose an attraction to reimagine.

Once you have heard our proposals, you get to vote on each one of our projects. You can either keep the Classic, or vote to TRASH IT and replace it with our new vision. Watch for a poll to pop up the same day we release this show. We will feature the results of our poll on an upcoming episode.

On MOW #178, the MOWican Nation played the Unpopular Disney Opinions game on our Facebook page. Out of this came numerous statements regarding this park is better than that park. So, we were inspired to see if there really is one Walt Disney World park that rules them all. We also wanted to see how we ranked the parks.

We ranked each park on the following categories: Attractions, Dining, Entertainment, Shopping, Choice of IP/Originality, Theming/Atmosphere, Park Icon aka “weenie,” and Characters.

Jambeaux, everyone!!! Harambe! On this episode, we had the incredible opportunity of chatting with one of Walt’s guys, Roland Fargo Crump Jr., otherwise known as Rolly Crump.

During his tenure at the Walt Disney company, Rolly Crump had the pleasure of working alongside names that you’ve heard of from Marc Davis, Yale Gracey, Bob Gurr, John Hench, Mary Blair, and Walt Disney himself,  just to name a few. And, I think it is fair to say that they had the pleasure of working alongside Rolly.

Jambeaux, everyone!!! Harambe! On this episode, our list for the Top 5 Disney Parks Exclusive Characters and we also talk about the WDW Uber-like service and the WDW Club 33 stories that came out recently.

In the Queue, we talk about two news stories that have come up recently: Disney -Uber-like service and Club 33 coming to Walt Disney World. Below are links to the articles we referenced in our discussion.

For today’s Hub, we discuss our Top 5 Disney Parks Exclusive Characters. What does this mean? These are characters whose sole purpose was for a particular attraction; the character has no external properties. A prime example of this would be Figment from the Journey Into Imagination with Figment attraction.

Recently, rumors of Spain and Brazil coming to World Showcase have been circulating the Disney-fan universe and have been ever-present in conversation as of late. In light of this, we decided to get super-creative once again and do some armchair imagineering. We each present our ideas of what other countries we would like to see added and how we would present them. This is not a criticism in which we think these would be better than Spain or Brazil. These are just other ideas we also think would be good.

Dream It! Screw It! Author Geoffrey Golden - MOW #144

Jambeaux, everyone!!! Harambe! On our show this week, we welcome back two very special guests, Aimee and Andy. and we are talkin’ about the book, Dream It! Screw It! by Geoffrey Golden.

 

Welcome to another episode of the Magic Our Way podcast, a New Orleans based Disney fan podcast. Thank you for listening to our show and we hope it brings a smile to your face. Your feedback is appreciated and we are committed to listening to our audience.

 

On today’s show, we have Danny, Kevin, and Eli of www.ivorycomics.com,

 

Please note: the Magic Our Way Podcast is not affiliated with the Walt Disney Company or its entities. All opinions expressed therein are solely those of the Magic Our Way podcast. No animals were harmed in the making of this podcast.

 

For The Hub topic this week, we are talkin’ about the book, Dream It! Screw It! with author, Geoffrey Golden.

 

Blurb from the book.

“Disney theme park “Imagineers” think up hundreds of ideas for rides and attractions that never get used. But no Imagineer has created more terrible and rejected ideas than Dipp Disney. Walt’s cousin was a sloppy drunk, a complete idiot, and a loveable showman, whose 7000 attraction ideas never saw the light of day... until now.

This mock homage to Disney Imagineering contains Dipp’s most ridiculous concepts, like the Haunted Mansons, the Hindenburg Sky Resort, and Judge Doom’s Toon Execution Room. Includes concept art, photos and stories spanning decades.”

 

Learn about some of our favorite Dipp Disney attraction ideas and learn a little something about the man who retold this tall tale. This book is a very entertaining read and is chock full of details. We were blown away by the illustrations in the book. This is a extremely well put together book.

 

Find Geoffrey Golden at the following places.

  • Twitter: @GeoffreyGolden
  • iTunes: Two Packs, a trading card comedy podcast
 

You can purchase Dream It! Screw It! At the following places.

  • Your local indie bookstore
  • Amazon
  • DevestatorPress.com (Buy it from here and Geoffrey will sign it for you!)

This book makes a great gift for any Disney Parks fan out there. Which Dipp attraction is your favorite?

Moana & Sexism: A Movie Review - MOW #143

Jambeaux, everyone!!! Harambe! On our show this week, we welcome back two very special guests, Aimee and Andy. and we are talkin’ about Moana and Sexism! It’s a movie review!

 

Welcome to another episode of the Magic Our Way podcast, a New Orleans based Disney fan podcast. Thank you for listening to our show and we hope it brings a smile to your face. Your feedback is appreciated and we are committed to listening to our audience.

 

On today’s show, we have Danny, Kevin, Eli of www.ivorycomics.com, and Lee of magicalmomentsvacations.com. We are joined by Aimee and Andy.

 

Please note: the Magic Our Way Podcast is not affiliated with the Walt Disney Company or its entities. All opinions expressed therein are solely those of the Magic Our Way podcast. No animals were harmed in the making of this podcast.

 

For The Hub topic this week, we are talkin’ about Moana and Sexism with Aimee and Andy. It’s a movie review!

 

Moana is a Walt Disney Animation feature released on November 23, 2016 in the USA. It came out just in time for the 2016 holiday season.

 

From IMDB: “In Ancient Polynesia, when a terrible curse incurred by Maui reaches an impetuous Chieftain's daughter's island, [Moana], she answers the Ocean's call to seek out the demigod, [Maui], to set things right”.

 

In the course of our discussion, we entertain the topic of sexism in Disney animated movies. We know the pendulum has been at one particular end throughout the years. But, we are wondering if that pendulum has completely swung to the other side today.

 

Would you bring your son to watch this movie? Would you bring your daughter to watch this movie?

The Disney Princesses we examine are listed on this website: http://princess.disney.com/ and we do include Anna. But, we exclude Sofia and Elena of Avalor.

 

With a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 meaning “THAT PRINCESS IS TOAST” and 5 meaning “THAT PRINCESS IF BUFFY,” we each rate the Disney princesses and rank them by total score.

 

Is there one that reigns supreme or will we have to go to further rounds to find our ULTIMATE WARRIOR PRINCESS? Listen now to find out.

For The Hub topic this week, we are talking about Hurricane Matthew and Walt Disney World. We have an exclusive interview with Dr. MoWHOcan (aka Leisa Mundy), a MOWican who is currently on vacation at Walt Disney World at the same time Hurricane Matthew is slated to come through the area.

 

At the time of this recording, Hurricane Matthew was a category 4 hurricane threatening the east coasts of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Walt Disney World was shown as being on the west side of Hurricane Matthew’s CONE OF PROBABILITY.

 

This is only the fourth time that Walt Disney World has closed its doors for a hurricane event since it opened in October 1, 1971. What we hope to learn from our discussion with Dr. MoWHOcan is how Walt Disney World cares for its guests during a time like this. Dr. MoWHOcan was staying at the Contemporary Resort at the time of this interview.

 

You can follow Dr. MoWHOcan at this Facebook page, Festival of Disney Fans, and see her Facebook live reports during this time.

Welcome to the HUB and for this episode, the boys tackle two news stories that have been floating around the internet for a while which talks about Elsa’s Girlfriend (Frozen) and Captain American’s Boyfriend (Marvel Cinematic Universe).

 

To clarify, there were online petitions to give Elsa a girlfriend and to give Captain America a boyfriend on future releases from the Disney company. Check out the stories at the following websites:

Anna

PLEASE NOTE: This episode was recorded several weeks ago. But, due to several events that had happened in the Orlando area on days surrounding our release date for this episode, we decided that it would be best to delay it.  Also, our release of this episode now coincides with J.J. Abrams’ recent announcement that future Star Wars movies could possibly contain homosexual characters.

Park It: Guardians of the Galaxy - MOW #125

Jambeaux, everyone!!! Harambe! It’s a Queue show featuring Park It: Guardians of the Galaxy! Welcome to another episode of the Magic Our Way podcast. We are a New Orleans based Disney fan podcast. We appreciate your listening to our show and we hope it brings a smile to your face. We also appreciate your feedback and are committed to listening to our audience.

 

On today’s show, we have Danny, Kevin, Lee-an agent of www.magicalmomentsvacations.com, and Eli of www.ivorycomics.com. Kevin is once again away on assignment.

 

Please note: the Magic Our Way Podcast is not affiliated with the Walt Disney Company or its entities. All opinions expressed therein are solely those of the Magic Our Way podcast. No animals were harmed in the making of this podcast.

 

Welcome to the QUEUE and for this episode, the boys tackle the latest in Disney related news stories that we are interested in discussing. We discuss the following news stories on this episode.

  • Removal of all aligator reference in WDW
  • Muppets coming to Liberty Square
  • RUMOR: Pixar’s Coco in Mexican Pavillion?!?!?!?!
  • Changes to Disney Dining Plan
  • Guardians of the Galaxy in the Parks

 

Based on  the last news topic, we decided to exercise our creative muscle and feature a Park It segment showing how we would put Guardians of the Galaxy into the parks. The only rules that we followed are 1) it had to be a practical and 2) each one of us was assigned an attraction type.

 

The project has to be practical. We make Guardians of the Galaxy work in such a way that it could be considered as an option by the Walt Disney Company. This means no building of new parks or tearing down massive amounts of infrastructure and buildings; that would be downright expensive.

 

Our assigned attraction types are listed below.

  • Eli: play area/exhibit
  • Lee: roller coaster
  • Danny: 3D show or theater experience
  • Kevin: dark ride

Trip Report: Aaron & Danny - MOW #123B

Jambeaux, everyone!!! Harambe! It’s the second half of Aaron and Danny’s Trip Report! Welcome to another episode of the Magic Our Way podcast. We are a New Orleans based Disney fan podcast. We appreciate your listening to our show and we hope it brings a smile to your face. We also appreciate your feedback and are committed to listening to our audience.

 

On today’s show, we have Danny, Kevin, Lee-an agent of www.magicalmomentsvacations.com, and Eli of www.ivorycomics.com.

 

Please note: the Magic Our Way Podcast is not affiliated with the Walt Disney Company or its entities. All opinions expressed therein are solely those of the Magic Our Way podcast. No animals were harmed in the making of this podcast.

 

Welcome to the HUB and for this episode, the boys welcome back Danny’s brother-in-law, Aaron, as we discuss Danny’s family trip to Walt Disney World in June of 2016. This show will arrive in two parts and, as a result, be sure to check out Trip Report: Aaron and Danny - 123A will be released earlier this week.

 

Aaron was around during the early days of the Magic Our Way podcast. You can find him on MOW Field Reports 1, 2, 3, & 4 (the famous Beers on the Balcony episodes) and on the very popular MOW #010: The Disney Vacation Club - The Big Picture in Decision Making.

 

In this Trip Report, we discuss several things regarding Aaron and Danny’ trip to Walt Disney World. They dine at Morimoto Asia in Disney Springs and have quite the tale to tell regarding their experience. Disney Transportation also plays a big part in their trip: a person who hasn’t been there in a while experiences changes that have been in effect that still do not make sense to this day. And, there is much more.

 

This is a tough love episode. We care fiercely about the product that Mr. Walt Disney has produced. We are a podcast that wants both sides of the story to be presented so that you can make an educated decision. Call it yin to everyone’s yang or maybe we bring balance to the force. Exercise that critical thinking muscle.

For this special edition of the Magic Our Way podcast, we felt it was a good time to talk about the events that have happened down in Orlando recently: Pulse Orlando Nightclub and Ultra Lounge and the alligator incident on the Grand Floridian beach. Some time has passed and hopefully emotions have been reigned in to ensure clear thought resulting in a thorough discussion.

 

We want any of the  listeners and MOWicans who have been affected by the tragedies in Orlando to know that you are in our prayers and thoughts and you will always have a listening ear on the Magic Our Way podcast if you need one. We offer our honest and truest thoughts and we welcome any of you to do the same.

Finding Dory: A Movie Review - MOW #122

Jambeaux, everyone!!! Harambe! Finding Dory! Spoiler Alert! Welcome to another episode of the Magic Our Way podcast. We are a New Orleans based Disney fan podcast. We appreciate your listening to our show and we hope it brings a smile to your face. We also appreciate your feedback and are committed to listening to our audience.

 

On today’s show, we have Danny and Lee-an agent of www.magicalmomentsvacations.com.

Welcome to the HUB and for this episode, Danny and Lee review the movie, Finding Dory which came out in theaters in the United States of America on June 17, 2016.

 

Thirteen years ago on May 30, 2003, Pixar gave us a story about a father on a desperate search to find the last remaining member of his family. It took him from his home in a coral reef to the EAC (Eastern Australian Current) to a forest of jellyfish and more.

 

In 2016, the story is reversed. In Finding Nemo, the parent is looking for the child; in Finding Dory, the child is looking for the parent. And, as you can judge by the title, fun and adventure ensue because of the central character.

 

Listen to what Danny and Lee thought about this movie and be sure to contact us and let us know what you thought about it. WARNING: it is a spoiler filled episode. So, if you have not seen the movie, wait to listen to this episode until after you have seen it. If you are not bothered by spoilers, by all means, listen away.

Welcome to the HUB and this is part deux of our very special interview with Matt Hochberg.

 

Today, there are what we would call a plethora of Disney podcasts in the Disney fan universe. But, back around 2005, there were only a handful of podcasts on the air. This is a group we consider to be the 1st generation of Disney Podcasters, a generation that paved the way for all of us to be here today. We have one of those gentleman from that era on our show today. MOWicans, ladies, and gentleman, we present Matt Hochberg of WDW Today fame.

 

It was a sincere pleasure to have been given the opportunity to speak with him and it was awesome hearing that voice coming through our headsets while we were recording. We hope you enjoy the first half of our discussion with Matt Hochberg.

 

Be sure to check out the first half of our interview on MOW #118.

We discuss a Walt Disney World Non-Park Day from several different perspectives:

  • As a couple
  • As a single person
