Here’s some corrections regarding where to find Rafiki at WDW:

-Rafiki does not appear in Adventureland anymore.

-He can also be found at the Oasis (the front of Animal Kingdom), in addition to the Planet Watch.

Also, Timon is pretty common for meet-and-greets at Animal Kingdom as well, particularly in the aforementioned Oasis.

Timon and Rafiki may also appear at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

On the topic of meeting Walt Disney I want to add that Lou Mongello has changed my life via your weekly podcasts. I listen every week- and always walk away with that Disney magic in my head and heart.

Hi Lou!

Fantastic podcast as always, but this one was of particular interest to me. I spent the summer of the pink cake (1997) working at the PVH for the College Program. There is a door upstairs by the balcony that goes into an attic-type room that actually stretches all the way to it’s a small world. You can look down on the boats! Got to see a lot of very cool things that summer as a CM.

Keep up the good work!

Loved the DSI on the Village Haus. Jim Korkis points out how easy it is for the history of the parks to get lost. I wish somehow Disney, or perhaps Disney fans, had a “WDW Historical Society”. When I go on Google Earth and see old attraction vehicles in the ‘boneyard’ (look northeast of Toontown) it kills me that they’re sitting outside, unprotected from the elements, decaying in the sun. These items should be in a museum. Similarly, the history and evolution of the parks should be preserved. Seems like Korkis would be the perfect curator for such a Disney museum . . .

Just me thinking out loud. Love the show.

You will not believe how loud I screamed when I heard my name being read out by Lou Mongello!!! Thanks for answering my mail Lou…and yes, I’ve always said that if I could have met Walt the only thing I would say is ‘THANK YOU’.
Great podcast as ever, thanks for keeping us as close to the magic as we can be in the UK. Aloha!!! xx

Great podcast, as usual!! Must admit I was quite devastated to learn Figaro Fries are no longer on the menu at Pinnochio’s…missed that memo whenever it happened…
