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 #17 for the week of June 3, 2007.
This week's show starts off with some News and Views from Walt Disney World, which includes more new Disney merchandise, Star Wars and Muppets – and that's just in one story alone! My visit to the Walt Disney World Rumor Mill includes more FASTPASS updates, a possible change to the Jungle Cruise and more bus system updates.
Jeff Pepper and I take a different type of trip in the Wayback Machine as we celebrate Goofy’s 75th birthday with a look at his history in animation, and his presence through the years in and around the Walt Disney World Resort.
Shontell Crawford and I examine the "Best DVC Indulgence" in this week's Best of the Best Segment.
This week's Hidden Treasure of Walt Disney World involves a secret character spot and freebie!
I'll also answer your emails, which includes vacation planning information, resort advice, anniversary ideas and the Platinum Package, the old Walt Disney World A-E ticketing system, Disney DVDs and more. Be sure to stay tuned for some listener voicemails at the very end of the show.
Thank you again for tuning in, so just sit back, relax and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

As I announced on a previous show, I have revealed the next in the 7 Wonders of Walt Disney World series, as I want you to be a part of the discussion and show. This will give you the chance to talk about something that I think we all agree is a truly magical part of Walt Disney World - the CAST MEMBERS.
So don't forget to call the voicemail at 206-202-4WDW (4939) and share with us a story, magical moment, etc., I'll play them on the show, and we'll go more into WHY this is a wonder during that show. You can also discuss this upcoming wonder in the WDWRadio message forums
Thanks for your help and for being a part of the show!
