Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show – Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #211 for the week of February 27, 2011.

For years I have spoken about how Walt Disney World offers dining options for every palate, budget and type of experience one might seek. One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is about which of those choices are best suited to children and families. So this week, we’ll look just that – the Best of the Best Restaurants for families with young children. Don’t have any kids? Don’t worry – I think you’ll find some options in here that, like Walt Disney World itself, brings out the kid in all of us.

I’ll have a few announcements and then 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.

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

Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show – Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #186 for the week of September 5, 2010.

This week, join us as we visit the all new Meatball Bar at Portobello Restaurant in Downtown Disney. Sit alongside us as we do a live review of the 4 varieties of meatball sandwiches available, sample the local, organic beer, and talk with Portobello’s Executive Chef Steven Richard about the concept and flavors of this unique dining experience, which offers one of the best values on property.

I’m very excited about an important announcement I’ll make about a new project I’ve been working on for some time now – you’ll definitely want to stay tuned for that entire segment!

I’ll then have a few announcements and then 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.

We’ll take a look at some Walt Disney World news and a few rumors this week, including some old favorites getting ready to return to the parks, and Imagineers continue to test new ways to pass the time in the queue, this time at a classic attraction in the Magic Kindgom. I’ll ask you to comment in the show notes and weigh in on some possible changes that may be coming.

I often kid about how attractions and shows in Walt Disney World are just things to occupy our time in between meals, but the parks and resorts do offer a wide variety of wonderful dining options – and not all of them require you to make dining reservations in advance. In fact, some of Walt Disney World’s best food can be found at the numerous counter service locations. So this week, we’ll count down our Top Ten list of Walt Disney World Counter Service Restaurants. If you weren’t hungry when you started listening, you just might be by the time you’re through. And hopefully we’ll introduce you to some options that you might not have considered before.

I’ll have a few announcements, and then 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.

The post Show # 168 – May 2, 1010 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 #131 for the week of August 9, 2009. Thank you for tuning in once again.

While the introduction of new attractions, shows or promotions gets many people excited about Walt Disney World, hearing about a new dining experience for many is equally as thrilling. And when a new restaurant is being introduced that comes from the first and only female Iron Chef, the excitement grows into anticipation. This week, I am pleased to be joined by Chef Cat Cora, whose Kouzzina restaurant is set to open soon on Disney’s Boardwalk. We’ll talk about her background and career, as well as what this new dining experience will bring to Walt Disney World Guests.

With the recent introduction of new Disney Vacation Club properties at Kidani Village, The Treehouses at Saratoga Springs and the spectacular new Bay Lake Towers, I wanted to talk about not just the DVC in general, but about each of these new resorts. With three new, very unique experiences to offer Guests and DVC Members, I also wanted to look at some frequently asked questions about the DVC and how these new properties may or may not affect buying and selling DVC points. Shontell Crawford form DVCbyResale.com joins me to discuss these topics and more.

I’ll 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 at lou@wdwradio.com or call the voicemail TOLL FREE at 888-703-2171.

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