Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show – Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #135 for the week of September 6, 2009. Thank you for tuning in.

This week I am joined once again by an amazing gentleman, and true Disney Legend, as Richard Sherman, of the Sherman Brothers, sits down with me to discuss a new tribute to the incredible work of him and his brother. We will look at, and listen to, a new CD featuring a unique compilation of classic songs, performed by the greatest guitarists in the world.

Justin Muchoney, a man who has been truly living the Disney Dream since he was inaugurated as the Disney Parks’ Chief Magic Official, returns to the show to talk not about his CMO experience per se, but Disney dreams in general. We will talk about what our Ultimate Disney Dreams are, and then put that same question to you.

I’ll play more listener 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.

The post Show #121 – May 31, 2009 appeared first on WDW Radio - Your Walt Disney World Information Station by Lou Mongello.

Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show – Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello and this is show #91 for the week of November 2, 2008.

We’ll start off this week’s show with some news from Walt Disney World, including information on a number of special events going on now and in the coming weeks.

From there, we’ll chat with Disney’s Chief Magic Official and all around nice guy Justin Muchoney about what he’s been up to, what’s new and maybe even what’s next.

In our next segment, I’ll fire up the old Wayback Machine and take us back to a time before Walt Disney World had even opened. And joining me on my trek through the Florida swamps is fellow Disney geek Craig Wheeler, as he and I take a close look at a Walt Disney World we never knew by exploring the Lost Resorts of the Magic Kingdom. It’s a fun look back at what was supposed to be and might have been, with a little wondering and wishing as well.

I’ll answer a few of your emails, announce an impromptu new contest and give you some updates before playing your voicemails at the end of the show this week, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week’s episode of the WDW Radio Show.

The post Show #91 – Nov. 2, 2008 appeared first on WDW Radio - Your Walt Disney World Information Station by Lou Mongello.

Hello and welcome to the WDW Radio Show – your Walt Disney World Information Station. This is show #65 for the week of May 4, 2008. I am your host Lou Mongello, and I want to thank you for tuning in again this week.

We’ll begin this week as always with our look at the Walt Disney World News, where I talk about a number of news items, including the opening of Toy Story Mania, a welcome change for DVC members, and a number of special events going on in WDW, and one outside the parks where you might get a chance to peek behind the curtain of Imagineering and learn just how they create some of the Disney magic.

Disney last week revealed the winner of the first-ever Chief Magic Official contest, and Justin Muchoney from Seven Fields, PA was named the winner out of more than 1300 applicants. Justin joins me, fresh off of the announcement to discuss the application process, rounds of judging, winning the contest, and what the future holds in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

There is never a bad time to visit Walt Disney World, but many Guests, whether it be their first or fiftieth time visiting the Resort, have to decide when is the right time of year to go for them. Often, the question of going on or off-season comes up, as there are both benefits and concerns about traveling to Walt Disney World during both the busy season and less crowded times of year. So to discuss the factors to take into consideration, as well as some of the pros and cons of each, I welcome back Jeff Pepper and George Taylor, fans and family men, to have a roundtable discussion about just that topic.

I’ll answer a few more of your emails before playing some of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax and enjoy this week’s episode of the WDW Radio Show.
