Welcome back to The WDW Radio Show – Your Walt Disney World information Station, hosted by Lou Mongello. Thanks for tuning in once again. This is Show #13 for the week of May 6, 2007.

On this week’s show we start with Walt Disney World News & Views where we will talk about some sweeping changes coming from the Walt Disney World Resort hotels, updates on dining locations around Epcot, a new celebration being offered for young girls, and updates on the Year of a Million Dreams.

In the Walt Disney World Rumor Mill, we talk about a new themed dining location rumored to be coming to the Magic Kingdom and take a quick look back at the surprising venue it may replace, as well as a few other rumored things going on resort-wide.

I discuss Concierge Level accommodations at the Walt Disney World resorts with Pam Forrester from The Magic For Less Travel. We explore what and where they are, the benefits, pricing, different ones throughout the properties, whether it is worth it, whom it may be most right for and how to get the most out of staying there.

Take a stroll down Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards at the Disney-MGM Studios with me and Matt Hochberg as we explore the history, architecture, details, hidden gems and immersive experience in the shops, buildings and facades in an effort to introduce you to some of the wonderful attention paid to detail at the Studios.

I have lots of interesting E-Mails to get to, including questions about the Odyssey Restaurant in Epcot, the Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station and what it replaced, remaining days on old park tickets, and more.

I’ll also play some of your voicemails at the very end of a show that I hope you find both fun and informative, so sit back, relax and enjoy this week’s episode of the WDW Radio show.
