News and rumors, Celebration 25, Japan, new contest, listener email, voicemails and more!
Welcome to the WDW Radio Show, your Walt Disney World Information Station. This is Show #32 for the week of September 16, 2007.
Not a lot of Walt Disney World News this week, but we have a lot of listeners who called in from the Magic Kingdom to give us their first-hand impressions of the Haunted Mansion, which opened up after a length refurbishment this week. We’ll also have some updated information about the Leave a Legacy tiles in Epcot, and just a couple of rumors in the Walt Disney World Rumor Mill, as it’s been a very quiet week on the news and rumors front.
Adam Roth, co-founder of the Celebration 25 event honoring Epcot’s 25th anniversary next month will join me as we reveal the schedule of events for the Sunday and Monday, and details about what else is taking place as we join Disney at this historic event. It’s something that I will be attending and sponsoring, and am really excited about.
Jeff Pepper will join me as always continue with our Epcot Retrospective / DSI: Disney Scene Investigation series this time with a close look at one of World Showcase’s original and still most beautiful pavilions, Japan.
And Jeff stays on a little while longer, as we are joined by Eric Hollister for the next in our Walt Disney World Half Marathon Challenge Contests. This week, Jeff provides the clues, and tests your inner Disney geek, and Eric will also announce the winner of the previous contest.
I have a ton of your voicemails to play this week, so be sure and stay tuned to the end of the show for those, and I’ll also answer a few more of your emails, so sit back, relax enjoy this week’s episode of The WDW Radio Show.
