WDW Park Audio 029 - Day 6 - Exploring World Showcase, Leaving for a Nap

Join us for a stroll through the eastern end of World Showcase. Things start as we leave lunch in the Italy pavilion, pass the America pavilion as the fife and drum corps perform and enter the Japan pavilion for a little shopping and exploration. While we're there, we have a chance use our meager Japanese and we take in a performance by the taiko drummers. After that, as it is the middle of a very hot afternoon, we head back to our hotel for a well earned nap.

Come along for the fun! For extra points, try to guess what we buy in Mitsukoshi (the shop in the Japan pavilion).

WDW Park Audio 028 - Day 6 - Maelstrom

Come along with us on the most unintentionaly hilarious ride in Walt Disney World, the incomparable Maelstrom! One of only 2 rides in World Showcase (both boat rides; go figure!) and the only real attraction in the Norway pavilion, Maelstrom takes its bemused riders through the "mystery and adventure" of Norway, featuring non-threatening, stationary polar bears, deep sea oil platforms and (i'm not joking) a 3-headed troll.

Enjoy!

WDW Park Audio 027 - Day 6 - The Seas . . . Take 2

We pick up where we left off last week, entering in the World Showcase . . . only to realize it was too early and pretty much nothing was open yet. So we turn ourselves around and make a bee-line back towards the front of Futureworld and spend the next 90 minutes or so in The Seas pavilion. Come along with us as we ride The Seas with Nemo and Friends, take in Turtle Talk with Crush (a live-animation interactive theater show - it has to be seen to be believed), learn about manatees and then wander around the gigantic, two story aquarium.

Enjoy!

WDW Park Audio 026 - Day 6 - Futureworld Odds and Ends

Our second morning at Epcot continues with a quick visit to Innoventions for another go at The Sum of All Thrills, a design-your-own virtual coaster experience. It's an exibit/ride which begs for repetition and, as those who heard our first time on this will know, carefully adjusted recording levels. (That's my way of saying it's loud . . . and that the sound is much better this time.)

After that, we head toward World Showcase, but we take a couple of detours on the way. First, we walk through a butterfly garden, where I give a newly hatched butterfly a helping hand. Then we stop by Club Cool and sample some soft drinks from around the world. All I can say is, beware the Beverly.

Enjoy!

WDW Park Audio 024 - Day 5 - Tower of Terror, Streetmosphere

Our second day in Disney's Hollywood Studios concludes with a ride on the original Twilight Zone Tower of Terror after which we walk up to a Streetmosphere performance already in progress. The gang is attempting to shoot a climactic action sequence from a spaghetti western, with a little help from the passers-by. Listen up for the little kid who starts parroting one of the "stagehands". Good times. Enjoy! - Headphones strongly suggested

WDW Park Audio 023 - Day 5 - Great Movie Ride

Our second day in Disney's Hollywood Studios continues with one of the park's original headliners, The Great Movie Ride! Come along on fanciful trip through the world of cinema, or at least a representative cross-section of American cinema though the 1980s which Disney was able to acquire rights to use, all housed in a replica of Grumann's Chinese Theater. - Headphones strongly suggested

WDW Park Audio 022 - Day 5 - Disney's Hollywood Studios Entry

Our fifth day begins! This is our second day in Disney's Hollywood Studios and you'll come along as we, with some initial confusion, make our way over to Pixar Place while the Green Army Men are finishing up a performance/drill. Then come along with us on two consecutive rides on Midway Mania as we try our hands at unlocking the high-scoring easter eggs. - Headphones strongly suggested

Animal Kingdom Pics

Just to give a greater feel for the detail and atmosphere of Animal Kingdom, here are some pictures I took around the park on our one day there. Enjoy.

WDW Park Audio 021 - Day 4 - Kilimanjaro Safaris

Our day at Animal Kingdom closes with a ride on Kilimanjaro Safaris, a jeep ride through African jungle and savannah. It was the very last ride of the night and for a while we thought we would be the only passengers. Sadly it was not to be, not that you'll really be able to tell from this recording. Join us on safari! - Headphones strongly suggested
