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 this episode, we present a discussion about Cars 3, the Pixar movie released in the summer of 2017 movie season. Since Lee was unable to come on the show for MOW #181, we decided to let him have a majority of this episode. To help Lee out, Mr. and Mrs. MOWnonymous, Richard Hercher and Rachelle Crow-Hercher, come on the show to discuss the movie.

As you may have noticed, when Cars 3 came out in theaters, we never did a movie review. We decided to delay our discussion of Cars 3 to give you the opportunity to watch the movie and devlope your own opinions.

Do I need to say spoiler alert? Hopefully, you have seen the movie by now. If not, do it this weekend and then come back to listen to the show before we release the next show.

On this episode, we present a topic that was inspired by the MOWicans on our Facebook page. We present our Quest for the Best: Walt Disney World Park. Is there really one park to rule them all?

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.

For today’s Hub, we present a topic that was inspired by the MOWicans on our Facebook page: Unpopular Disney Opinions. This time the four of us present our unpopular opinions and the MOWican Nation gets to comment on our opinions much like we commented on their opinions on MOW #178.

The way this Facebook post worked is that someone would post a unpopular Disney opinion and all you could do to respond was to write “agree” or “disagree” without arguing. This time we posted our opinions as we were recording the show and we got immediate feedback from the MOWicans. It was a great time and we hope you can be part of the next one.

It was fun to hear what the MOWicans thought about our unpopular opinions. If you want to be a part of the next Facebook activity, like and follow our Facebook page and become an active member of the MOWican Nation.

In Guest Services today, we have stuff from our mailbag. We open two PHYSICAL letters that we received in our PHYSICAL mailing address: one from Officer MOWican and one from the folks at Mad Hatter Radio.

 

In the Hub, we bring you the first in a two-part series in which we look back on 2016. We examine where Magic Our Way has been from the first show released in 2016 (Mouse Mingle Interview w/Dave Tavres) up until this episode. Then, we discuss things that took place in the Disney Universe in 2016 and look forward to what 2017 has in store.

 

The year, 2016, became the year of the interview for Magic Our Way. We have experienced every range of emotion when conducting these interviews and we have been fortunate to be able to interview important folks in the Disney universe such as Paul Torrigino, Matt Hochberg, and Lee Cockerell. And, we are looking to get better at it in 2017 with even more interviews. This was also the year in which Danny created our latest logo back in July.

 

The year, 2017, has some things that we are looking forward to like, Coco and Guardians of the Galaxy 2. It also has some things that we are kinda lukewarm about such as Avatarland, Cars 3, and the latest Pirates movie.

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.

Back on MOW #133 & MOW #134, we analyzed the findings of the article entitled “33 Things That Make Disneyland Better Than Disney World” written by Tara Block and published by www.popsugar.com on September 18, 2016. Feel free to check out the article and listen to MOW #133 & MOW #134.

 

Seeing as we are a podcast dedicated to exploring both sides of the issue, we decided to come up with our own set of “33 Reasons That Make Walt Disney World Better Than Disneyland.” This is the first in a two-part series.

 

Be sure to check out the first half of this discussion back on MOW #136.
