#52 - DLR 001 - DCA Entry, ElecTRONica, Heimlich's Chew Chew Train

The adventure begins!

It's the evening of Friday, May 20th and we have just arrived at the Disneyland Resort. Our first recording begins in the esplanade as we head into the under re-construction Disney California Adventure (DCA) park for dinner at La Trattoria. Afterward, we head into the Hollywood Backlot area for a peak at ElecTRONica and then on to A Bug's Land for a ride on Heimlich's ChewChew Train just in time for the Disneyland fireworks show to start.

Come along for our first taste (some sweet, some bitter) of the Disneyland Resort magic!

Star Tours 2.0 - Sneak Peak!

*** SPOILER WARNING*** If, for any reason, you want to experience the new Star Tours for yourself and be completely surprised, do not listen to this! That being said . . .

Here it is, as promised!

This recording contains audio of our first trip through the new queue and all 6 (that's right, SIX!!) rides we took on the new and improved Star Tours! The randomization really shows as all six trips feature different combinations of the 7 destinations and other beginning and middle story elements. While, admittedly, you'd need video to complete the experience, this offers a solid taster of this (definitely) improved ride!

Enjoy!

Coming soon! New Disneyland audio!

Sorry for the delay, folks.

We just got home late last night from a vacation which included 4 days (+ 1 evening) at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. I recorded approximately 19 hours of raw audio, which will be the source for a new series of Disney audio adventures! Annie's back on board and, on our 2nd day, we met up with our friends Mike and Tammy and their 2 kids, so there are a few new voices joining in on the fun.

On our first day, Saturday May 21st, Annie and I got in on a brief soft opening of the relaunching Star Tours (official opening date: June 3rd) and then on our last day, Tuesday May 24th, all 6 of us got in again for Annual Passholder previews! Altogether, we rode 6 times and my mics were hot every time! To kick off the audio series, I'm going to edit together the 6 rides, along with some queue audio as well, for a Star Tours sneak peak episode. I'll then release episodes in chronological order the same as I did for the Disney World audio, including each Star Tours experience as they occurred.

Just wanted to let you all know, I haven't forgotten the show; I'm just a little behind. I've got some awesome stuff to share with you! Hang tight!

Disneyland Short (not really) 003 - Billy Hill & the Hillbillies

Okay, so this entry isn't technically a "short".

Clocking in at a half hour, the Billy Hill and the Hillbillies show in the Golden Horseshoe Saloon is anything but short. However that time always seems to fly past entirely too quickly. Well now you can relive the experience! This was recorded from the balcony at stage right with my father (on his first trip to Disneyland since the age of 10!) sitting next to me, taking it all in for the first time. Magic!

Disneyland Short 002 - Pirates of the Caribbean

Number 2 in the series is a beautiful, clean ride-through of Pirates of the Caribbean. We enter as Fantasmic nears its climax on the Rivers of America and we find that Pirates is deserted! There's only 2 other people (other than cast members) in sight and, thankfully, they seemed to enjoy the solitude as much as we do - we didn't hear a peep out of them the whole time.

So come along and enjoy a rare audio treat: A binaural ride through Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean, pure and unadulterated by the sound of other guests!

Disneyland Short 001 - Space Mountain

In anticipation of my forthcoming trip to Disneyland, I'm starting a series of Disneyland short audio releases. Call them previews. Call them tasters. Call them what you like. They're short - they're fun - they capture just a bit of the Disneyland experience. This week, come along for a ride on Disneyland's Space Mountain!

WDW Park Audio 037 - Day 7 - Getting to the TTC

Here it is . . . the end. The final audio chapter of our Walt Disney World trip. But fear not, faithful listeners, there are more Disney adventures on the way!

Magic Kingdom has been closed for nearly an hour and we walk out of the gates only to find that the monorail platform is closed and the only buses in sight are going to various hotels. Meanwhile, our car is at the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) on the other side of the Seven Seas Lagoon. Oops.

So here is a (massively) cut-down recording of our journey back to the TTC and our car, including a very helpful bus driver and very charming parking tram announcer. Enjoy!

WDW Park Audio 035 - Day 7 - Winnie the Pooh

It's a short one this time, folks. Come along for a ride on Winnie the Pooh. This episode was going to be significantly longer, but my dear wife didn't want anymore of her voice included in these podcasts. Oh well. Enjoy the ride!
