Nighttime has descended on the original Magic Kingdom and the perfect time for two things: fireworks and treats! Listen along as we exit Disneyland while the "Remember . . . Dreams Come True" fireworks show goes on, picking up our respective nighttime treats on the way (ice cream for Annie, popcorn for me). Then we review the joys of our first day on the walk back to the hotel. Treats and Fireworks To download, right-click and select "Save Target As...". Or subscribe in iTunes!

#59 - DLR 008 - Fireworks and Treats

Night has fallen on the Disneyland Resort and we're in Tomorrowland. On a Friday night, that means the Tomorrowland bandstand is occupied by some local hard rock act, usually a cover band. Time to find some refuge . . . "How about under the sea?" we thought. Submarine Voyage (with Nemo and co.), here we come!

#58 - DLR 007 - Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage

Disney California Adventure is in the midst of major changes and, in this episode, Annie and I wander through the park taking it all in. We start in Paradise Pier (with it's wonderful new "Main Street"-style music) in front of the Fun Wheel (formerly "Sun Wheel"), grab a refreshing new snack option and, along the way, spend some time in the Blue Sky Cellar taking a gander at what's in store for the future, finally ending up in the Animation Room for some beautiful music and a needed nap! (That's right folks! Some of this was recorded while I was only semi-conscious.) Dream along with us. Wandering Thru New DCATo download, right-click and select "Save Target As...".

#57 - DLR 006 - Wandering Thru New DCA

Time for an old Tomorrowland favorite: Captain Eo!I have to admit, though, that this show was a bit before my (Disneyland) time. Annie, on the other hand, was over the moon that Captain Eo was brought back as she very fond memories of it from her childhood. So this was a not-to-miss show for the two of us and, we hope, you as well! Come along for a bit of throwback 80's fun!Captain EoTo download, right-click and select "Save Target As...".

Time to move from the east side (Fantasyland, Tomorrowland) to the west side (Frontierland, Adventureland, New Orleans Square) of Disneyland! Entering Frontierland, we find we've arrived just in time to catch one of the Laughing Stock shows in front of the (sadly) closed-for-refurbishment Golden Horseshoe Saloon. These shows are always good for a laugh. Take a listen; I think you'll agree.Laughing StockTo download, right-click and select "Save Target As...". Or subscribe in iTunes!

We've finished with Fantasyland (for the time being) and head into Tomorrowland, trying to decide what the first Tomorrowland ride of our trip should be. Imagine our surprise when we see a line going into Star Tours, the day before AP previews (which we will be sharing in, thanks to our friend, Mike) begin! Naturally, we investigate further and boy are we glad we did! Come along while we have our first glimpse of the newly updated Star Tours and meet a couple of sweet Disney nerds in line!

It's our first full day in the parks and, naturally, we start in the mothership, Disneyland.

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!DCA Entry, ElecTRONica, ChewChewTo download, right-click and select "Save Target As...".

*** 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!Star Tours 2.0 - Sneak PeakTo download, right-click and select "Save Target As...".

Disneyland Short 004 - Buzz Lightyear's Astroblasters

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.

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

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 002 - Pirates of the CaribbeanTo download, right-click and select "Save Target As...".

Disneyland Short 002 - Pirates of the Caribbean

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.

Disneyland Short 001 - Space Mountain

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.
