WDW Radio Show Disney Podcast #128 - July 19, 2009

**Lou Mongello** · 07-19-2009, 06:58 PM

Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #128 for the week of July 19, 2009. Thank you for tuning in once again.

I recently attended the very first and very special D23 community for Disney fans tours of the Walt Disney Studios and Archives in Burbank, California. A true once in a lifetime experience, I wanted to share with you some of the details of the tour, what we saw and experienced in the Studios and in the legendary Walt Disney Archives. Three other attendees will join me on a roundtable discussion, as we talk about not just the tour and overall experience, but D23 as a whole.

I’ll announce the winner of our last Where in the World Have You Heard This contest and play more of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

You can email the show or call the voicemail TOLL FREE at 888-703-2171.

Thanks for listening! Be sure to tune in next week!

Great roundtable Lou! I was wondering how you managed to pull off a ticket for the tour and this podcast explained your method. Thank you (and your fellow D23 guest) for sharing the experience that all Disney fans would love to have. Walking the Disney grounds where so many magical moments were born had to be incredible! I know how I felt at Disneyland last year (and Disney MGM when it was a working studio)... and that feeling would be 10 fold with a visit to the Disney Studio and Archives!

Another Great Show! Thank you and keep up the great work!

Another amazing show this week, Lou. Your roundtable on the D23 Walt Disney Studios/Archives tour has made me extremely envious I wasn't able to attend it myself. It sounds like it was just an amazing experience, and something that's once in a lifetime. I really hope I can experience it for myself someday, and it's even starting to gain more interest in D23 from me, and maybe I'll become a member really soon. Congratulations to the contest winner as well! Keep up the great work, Lou!

I LOVED the podcast! You're enthusiasm and passion about your journey to the holy...oops,

the Disney studios and archives was infectious and adorable. I'm glad you also included the roundtable in this episode because each person added a slightly different but valuable perspective. Plus, your interactions with each other was

. I loved their description of you as a one-man-band

. Too bad we couldn't have gotten a picture of that! Any way, thanks for including us in your pilgrimage, it was a special treat!

I think your podcast finally put us over the top for joining D23. I doubt we'd be able to go to any of the special events, but just the potential to do so might be worth that extra $15-20 on top of the magazine.

Thank you for this episode! I'm sure it was nothing close to the magic of being there, but you basically took us with you through the tour, which i'm sure a lot of us didn't get to go on the tour or couldn't get tickets. Great work as usual, and keep up the good work!

Hi everyone, this is Scott Donahue from WDWNewsletter, now WDWDailyNews.com and I wanted to say it was an honor and privilege to be asked to be on Lou's show. The studios and Archives were such beautiful places to see and I hope that everyone can attend them at some point in the future.

I hope we all did it justice as we tried to explain our experiences and our what we saw. Again a great big thanks to Lou for having me on the show and maybe I can be a guest again in the future. Take care everyone and hope to see you around here.
