Welcome to Episode 126 of Tales From The Mouse House Disneyland Podcast, Christmas 2019 edition!! On this EXTRA LARGE EPISODE, we start our (sort of) new format, a free-stylin’ review if you will, of Disneyland Attractions and Foods. We also introduce a new member of the Tales family, Francis, who will be joining us in January with a brand new segment called, “With a Fork in My Hand”, where he’ll be checking out all the plant based food options at the Parks. Also on this LONG episode, our good friend and fellow geek Bryan Dunn joins us to chat about the Dunn Family adventures at Disneyland – and his review on Galaxy’s Edge.

Remember, we’re now a MONTHLY podcast!

Hacked

Hey Gang,

If you’ve been on the site here recently, you probably noticed a rather un-Magical post. We were hacked. Seemed this person was able to take advantage of a serious hole in WordPress. We’ve updated to the latest version, deleted the nastiness and hopefully won’t have to see this again. Thanks to Russ R. for spotting this and bringing it to our attention!! You rock Russ!

Thanks,

Al

If you weren’t able to catch it live, you can actually watch it from @StorytellerAl or @Talespodcast (yeah, the limiting thing on Periscope is that we couldn’t be on the same feed, because I’m in my booth, and Joyce is at her recording station…so, you can see the show from BOTH views!).

Welcome to our VERY SPECIAL 100TH EPISODE…ERR…EPISODE!!!!

That’s right, this is our (official) 100th episode, and MAN, is it a BIG episode! Over an hour and a half of Tales Goodness! We share some history with you guys…Tales From The Mouse House history that is. Instead of our regular type of episode, we reminisce about episodes past, mainly our first few, and how HORRIBLE we were! Seriously, HOW did we EVER get to 100?! We even play a ‘snippet’ of that first episode, so you’ll know we’re not just goofing around! Really. It stunk! 🙂  And, of course, what look back episode would be complete without some bloopers? We share some of our favorites, including Joyce’s infamous water bowl blooper! (Yeah, it was THAT funny!). And, if all that’s not enough, our great friend and sponsor Randy Crane from Mouse Ear Vacations joins us to chat about his recent Walk In Walt’s Disneyland Footsteps tour, a few goings on in the world of travel, and he makes a HUGE announcement. You’ll have to tune in to find out, but believe us…it’s HUGE. OR, rather, tiny…AND…Russell Flores, author of the best selling book, “Seen Un-Seen Disneyland, What you See at Disneyland but never really SEE” joins us to discuss some changes at one of our FAVORITE dining establishments in Carsland, among a few other fun things…See, a BIG EPISODE!

We thought that since we’re missing our Happy Place SOOOO MUCH, we’d share some attraction audio with y’all! That’s right, we pulled the audio from some of our favorite videos we shot at Disneyland and plopped them right into this episode. Well, that and one from ancient times…long before I (Al) ever visited Disneyland.

On February 8th, Disney California Adventure celebrated it’s 13th birthday! Wow, seems just like yesterday we saw the “OPENING SOON” commercials on TV! Well, over the last 13 years, California Adventure has gone through quite a few changes – some great, some…well, let’s just leave that one alone. Disney California Adventure has introduced us to some terrific things (like CORN DOGS), and has reinvented itself recently to include a trip through Walt Disney’s history, as well as incorporate an animated world into our own. All these things add up to one great adventure! So, in honor of their 13th birthday, we thought we’d share some of our favorite Disney California Adventure photos with you, set to music, in this latest VIDEO PODCAST EXTRAVAGANZA! (cue impressive music here)

You know, for the stuff that just can’t wait for a full Tales From The Mouse House episode!

We’ll include some cool interviews and other Disney audio clips that we think are just WAYYY too important to wait for our full-length show, AND…may even throw in a contest from time to time (hint…there’s one in this episode!)

Right off the top, we want to apologize because this episode is not our usual format – we kind of flew here and there because we had so much to tell you about our recent visit to the Disneyland Resort, and the D23 Destination D event! One word: AMAZING.

In Episode 8, Joyce and I discuss the unusual trip and visit to our Happiest Place On Earth, an unexpected visit to a chiropractor; a record breaking heat wave and dragon flies made for a…unique visit! We also give you an overview of the D23 event and some updates on Star Tours 2.0 and the highly anticipated ElecTronica event launching at Disney’s California Adventure this month.

So, if this episode seems a little, well, distracted (we both kind of talk about EVERYTHING), that’s because we had a LOT to cover.  This 35,000 foot overview of our most recent trip gives you the basics, we’ll delve deeper into things on subsequent shows.

We’ll have some special video podcasts up soon, covering the D23 Event, the Walking Tour Show Joyce and I recorded, more ride videos AND….the Happiest Haunts Tour video! YEAH!!

**Just a heads-up, we made a boo-boo (ok I made it, not Joyce). In the opening title sequence of the new Rides Video Podcast, it says “Video Podcast 5”, but that’s incorrect. It’s actually Video Podcast 4, so you haven’t missed one…yet!**

Although we truly thank you for watching, we HIGHLY recommend that if you get the opportunity, catch the show in person, it is well worth the trip! But for now, you can watch the Tales From The Mouse House presentation by visiting iTunes, or the Tales From The Mouse House with Photos link located on the left of this page! So, sit back, relax and enjoy part one of Disney’s Aladdin: Musical Spectacular. And, stay tuned for part two on September 3, 2010. We hope you like our presentation, and in the words of the Genie…”You ain’t NEVER had a friend like me!!!” Ideas for future shows? Comments? Magical Memories? Please, send them to us at talespodcast@cox.net, or visit us on Podbean at talesfromthemousehouse.podbean.com. You can even send us audio comments if you want! We’ll play them on the show.

We introduce a new segment on Tales From The Mouse House that we call “Magical Memories”.  In this new segment, we’ll highlight those special moments that exemplifies the Disney Spirit of Magic.  Anything that gives that heart warming feeling. I share my first Magical Memory and invite you all to share your Magical Memories with us. We’ll even highlight them on our show!

In our Hidden Treasures segment, I fill you in on where you can find a bit of Autopia Automotive Memorabilia, catch a glimpse of some movie props used in the films Raiders of The Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Joyce fills you in on a Monorail Hidden Treasure!

Our Ride Review segment has been “altered” a bit so Joyce and I can discuss Disney’s California Adventure Attraction – Aladdin: Musical Spectacular, and get you geared up for our August 29th Video Podcast, Part One of the Aladdin Musical!

We’re also part of the “digital” age now! You can follow us on Twitter at talespodcast, be our friend on FaceBook at facebook.com/talespodcast.

We also talk about our love for Disney Pin Trading and give our definition of “Professional Pin Traders”… (we’re not professionals!). We announce (FINALLY) the winner of our first ever Tales From The Mouse House Disneyland Trivia Contest (the answer was…Mrs. Potts and Chip!) and a special guest joining us for our August 15, 2010 show. Joyce tells us about a new treat cart in the Downtown Disney District where you can get your “crepe on”. In Hidden Treasures, I regale everyone with the story of Tarzan’s Tree House and Walt’s special gift to his wife Lilly that can still be seen in Disneyland today. In Ride Reviews, Joyce covers Monsters, Inc, while I talk about everyone’s favorite “stuck-in-your-head-song” ride, It’s A Small World. We also discuss Bengal BBQ and The Coca-Cola Refreshment Cafe in food reviews, and offer up some great tips in our Tips and Tricks segment.

We confirmed a couple of rumors that we mentioned on a previous show, including an errie spider web and a Hidden Mickey, a special visit with a terrific Disneyland Castmember, the closing of a beloved Pin Trading Shop in DCA and World Of Color. Plus, an update on the fist Tales From The Mouse House Disney Trivia Contest…

In our Hidden Treasure segment, we discuss the landscaping at the Disneyland Resort and the mystery behind the Disneyland Resort’s address…hmmm.  Joyce reviews one of her favorite rides, Space Mountain, and I attempt to be as funny as the Jungle Cruise skippers in my review of Adventureland’s Jungle Cruise.  We also compare the PCH Grill and Goofy’s Kitchen in our Food Review and I get personal in our Tips -N- Tricks.

Stay turned for future video podcasts, which will include a two-part Aladdin show, a Point Of View show highlighting California Screamin’ and Splash Mountain and a walking tour of the Disneyland Resort.

We had a great time, stayed at the Disneyland Hotel for the first time and best of all….watched the new World Of Color Spectacular! This show is AMAZING! In our latest video podcast, we showcase this wonderful new show, although, video doesn’t do it much justice.  This is a must see attraction, and we HIGHLY recommend it. Combining the elements of water, fire (LOTS OF IT) with vivid color video and beautiful music, Disney’s World Of Color is without doubt the newest and shiniest Gem in the Disney Show Crown. Enjoy the video, and let us know what you think! You can get the video from iTunes, or visit the Tales From The Mouse House link from the main page here!

We also introduce a new segment we call This Week in Disneyland – highlighting some of our favorite historical gems!
