TDC #310: Unsanctioned Disney Themeing

Scoreboard at Princess Night,Burlington Lake Monsters baseball 

Sometimes when organizations do unsanctioned Disney themeing, it works out just fine, like Princess Night at the Burlington Lake Monsters minor league baseball. And of course, pretty much any Disney fan podcast is an unsanctioned Disney themed thing! But sometimes, things don’t go so well, like Beijing Shijingshan Amusement Park.

At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, during MouseFest 2009

It’s December! Which means that one of the things Jennifer is grateful for is finally being able to use the Epcot Christmas background music on the podcast again! Plus we talk about lots of Disney things we’re grateful for. And ham, a little bit.

TDC #232: Trip Planning Issues

A whole world of spreadsheets went into making this moment possible.

Is it better to plan many months in advance? Or book a trip at the last minute? Either way it can be a lot of work, but that might just be part of the fun.

TDC #231: Hopes for 2013

A couple related links:

• The ConnectiCon convention, where you can meet Jim Cummings, the voice of Darkwing Duck and many others
• That Guy with the Glasses, home of Nostalgia Critic and Nostalgia Chick, and many many other members of Team Awesome. They review Disney stuff here and there, but Jennifer’s personal favorite is the review of Baby Whatever.

TDC #209: Solo Trips

Jennifer getting a little one-on-one time with the Mouse at Disneyland, January 2011.

If all goes as planned, by the time you’re reading this Jennifer will be at Walt Disney World for an impromptu, planned-on-short-notice solo trip! So of course we end up talking about chicken and waffles for at least 5 minutes.

Jennifer’s looked at the waffle sandwiches posted on Andy’s blog, and thinks the fruit one looks kinda nice, but still can’t get past the whole syrup-on-chicken issue. Will she try one on this trip? Only time will tell.

And all that talk during the show about how Jennifer will have nobody to hang out with for her whole trip? Well yeah . . . as she’s writing these show notes, she’s already got plans to get together with a friend one evening, and might even record a podcast episode with her. Thank you, internets!

If you’re going to be at Disneyland August 3-5, 2012, check out the Friends of the Magic Meet! We can’t be there ourselves, but we’ve donated Mickey Mouse chocolate bars.
