Episode 193: Howdy Folks, and welcome to this episode dedicated to one of our favorite Walt Disney World Attractions…The Country Bear Jamboree! We dig into the history of this attraction and talk about its connection with Walt Disney himself. It turns out that this may have been the last attraction that Walt ever saw in development. We then go through the current version of the show and discuss our favorite songs and the memories that we have of this show. Then we take a look at the different seasonal overlays of the show and talk about what caused the Disneyland version of the show to close permanently. Whether you love it or tolerate it, there’s no question that this attraction has its place in Disney history.

Have you ever thought about what attractions you would put in the ultimate Magic Kingdom Park? Jon and I get really geeky about this discussion and we look at all of the Magic Kingdom or Disney Castle parks worldwide and decide which versions of attractions that we would include in our ultimate Magic Kingdom Park. We go land by land and decide which attractions should be included. I think we include at least one attraction from every Disney Kingdom park in the world in our Ultimate Park…Which attractions would you choose?

Today we discuss the best dark rides at Walt Disney World. Jon compiled a list of dark rides (past and present) that we go through and determine which ones should be considered the top 5 of all time. We begin with a list of 23 attractions and whittle it down to 5. We both unanimously agree on which attraction is our number one dark ride of all time. Which one do you think it is? Let us know what you think of our lists by reaching out to us on our website or on social media…@twtmpodcast.

Today Jon and I go through each of the International Disney Parks and talk about the attractions that we would most like to experience from those parks. We start with Disneyland Paris and go through both of the parks there as we decide which attractions that we would most like to experience. Next we talk about Shanghai Disneyland, the newest Disney Park. We then go through the attractions at Hong Kong Disneyland before finishing up with Tokyo Disneyland. At the end of the episode we decide which order we would most like to visit these international Disney Parks.

In this episode we start our trip through the history of Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom. This land has changed a lot since 1971 so it is going to take us 2 episodes to go through it all. We start were we left off by going from the Liberty square side and working our way past Cinderella Castle. We talk about the current attractions and the past attractions that have been in each location of Fantasyland. Next week we go into the Fantasyland expansion and give our thoughts on what is called “New Fantasyland…”

In Episode 13 we go through a list of attractions at Walt Disney World that are rumored to get updates in the near future. We give our thoughts on what will change as well as what we hope will change. What changes would you like to see? Let us know podcast@travelingwiththemouse.com

In this episode Jon and I compare some of the most popular attractions that are both at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. We give our opinions on which versions are better and why. We had so much fun discussing this topic that we are dividing it into two episodes.  (Check out Episode 12 for Part 2). Let us know if you agree or disagree with our picks. Thanks for Listening.

We have some fun in this episode talking about one attraction from each park at Walt Disney World that we would like to remove and replace it with either something new or the previous attraction that held that space. We each picked different attractions at each park and enjoyed discussing our plans to replace them. What attractions would you replace? Let us know podcast@travelingwiththemouse.com

In Episode 7 of the Traveling with the mouse podcast we talk about the announced changes coming to the Magic Kingdom. Specifically they new Theater and the Tron light cycle power run coaster. We discuss the rumored locations of the the new Theater and speculate on how long it will take for these new attractions to open.

Episode 4 is all about The Great Movie Ride. With the last day of operation being August 13, 2017, we thought it was fitting to discuss our thoughts about the closing if this classic attraction. We talk about the history of the attraction as well as our memories of it over the years. We also talk about Mickey and Minnie’s runaway railway, the attraction that is taking over the Great Movie Ride. We hope you enjoy our tribute to one of our favorite rides.
