Who made the 40 hour show?

How long did you watch?

Favorite moments?

I watched almost the entire broadcast. Unreal! Other than about 3 hours of sleep I was there the whole time. I was remodling a bathroom in my house and had the laptop there the entire time. My favorite moments? Alot on day one, some of the 40th anniversary interviews and hoopla to include the castle forecourt ceremony, and Wishes. Glenn Whalen was hilarious in the wee hours of the morning! Oh yeah, and also "Beckerman!" and "Oh Myyy!"

soo many favorite moments...its hard to choose. but def hearing how much money was raised for make a wish!!!

Yes! Some very sick children and their families are going to receive quite a blessing because of all who donated and Lou's crew that drew us all in.

I planned on getting out of the box for this one and being a part of it first hand, but alas, we just couldnt swing it. I even bought a 40th anniversary pin off ebay last night.

Missed about 8 hours but caught up via ustream well most of it... being from the UK I got to see a lot of the Glenn Whalen show-lol so funny!

Fav bits... hard to say - being able to see MK on its 40th was magical for me

also hearing the amount raised brought tears to me eyes and glad I was able to win a couple of lots in the auctions. Having taken my own disabled son to Disney I cherish the memories of his reactions... so to, in a small way, help a make a wish family have this experience too makes me feel all fuzzy inside.

I forgot one more favorite moment - "The Pretty Good Movie Ride!"

Lou craving food from the Hawaiian booth was pretty hilarious too!

**StarsNStripes** · 10-03-2011, 12:58 PM

I was there...tons of fun....and I can understand the Hawaiian booth food craving...Kahlua pork sliders were awesome!

eeyore79, i got the 40th anniversary park guide map, pin and time schedule for $18.99 on Ebay

**eeyore79** · 10-03-2011, 02:03 PM

anyone else try to watch the videos that was recorded on ustream and got choppy feed like the live stream was? i have to catch up the last 2 hours but they chop-chop-chop

**mainstreet1997** · 10-03-2011, 03:27 PM

Thats weird because for the last two hours they were back at the house where the connection was great the whole time! Try letting the whole thing load then play it.

**lizseesghosts** · 10-03-2011, 04:31 PM

Only made it for the last couple of hours, sadly. Disappointed they were at the house the whole time, but I guess I can't blame them. Anyone know if there will still be a podcast this week? WDW Radio and WDW Today are what I listen to every night while I walk the dogs, don't know what to do without them! So wanted to bid on something but we're saving up for our Fantasy cruise in May!

**Disney05** · 10-03-2011, 07:31 PM

Don't know exactly how long I was in the box. I worked all weekend but had it on my desk computer the whole time. Then when I got home, got right back on. A friend of mine, who doesn't know who Lou is (crazy right!), went down there for the weekend. He called me Saturday morning to tell me he was standing behind Lou and the crew while at the castle ceremony. He also told me he got me a 40yr pin and the commemorative park map. Sweet!

I was busy this weekend but I got to see some parts like the Ceremony thing and the car ride with Puttin on the ritz. I was laughing so hard, other then those two moments I was in and out and when I was in it was only for like 5 minutes. I wish I was not so busy so I could have watch the whole thing.

**wdwfns2** · 10-03-2011, 10:08 PM

I was disappointed that I missed the beginning (son had a soccer game) but I was in the box for most of the rest of the show. I think some of the funniest bits were when they were driving or back at the house. Anyone else tape "Puttin on the Ritz?" Lou did say during the wee hours at the end that the show would probably be a little late...like Tuesday or Wednesdayish.
