What? This podcast hasn't been available in iTunes since February? Oh, right. I forgot about that. So let me fix it, then let me plug the new voicemail line: 515-999-0227.

Check out my latest (non-Disney) video podcast, "TrekFest". Also, "Weird Al" Yankovic releases "Skipper Dan", an original comedy song about a Disney Jungle Cruise skipper :-) Available in iTunes, etc.

This is not a show, number 7. I'm busy. Check back soon.

When Disney built a second Magic Kingdom, they added some things, changed some things, and left some things out. Let's discuss.

What will you celebrate? Let's celebrate the new DCA rope drop, as Disney kicks off a new promotion that let's you get in free on your birthday. It wasn't my birthday, but I still ended up back at the park this past March to check out the promotion.

A technical problem has temporarily taken this podcast out from the iTunes Store podcast directory... So let's make a conspiracy out of it!

Some thoughts on Disneyland's newly updated and reopened Sleeping Beauty Castle attraction.

Some thoughts on saving money using Disneyland annual passes, how to use an annual pass on a blackout day, and other discounts.

Disney loves to recycle and reuse ideas. Do you know the connection between Disneyland's "it's a small world" in California and the Magic Kingdom's Christmas fireworks show in Florida?

Brian and Werner comment, then the sights, sound, smells, and more that make the "Disney" experience.

Some feedback from Rich and Lou, then a chat with Werner Weiss of Yesterland.com.

Feedback on the past few episodes from Jeff, Ethan, and Jeff. More Disneyland things going away. More Yester-WDW memories. Less (or more) diesel fuel. And where to register to win a Toyota Yaris liftback.

Disney Transportation, Disney's Fastpass, and Disney's Magical Express. With the good comes the bad. Also, feedback on episode 74 and 75, and an embarassing addendum to 76.

Some tips for planning your next Disney vacation. In this installment: Travel and Transportation.

A video supplimental to Park Hopping Podcast #75, revealing "which park" the audio comes from.

Disney has many theme parks, with many similar elements. Can you tell which park is being described in this episode? The answer will be revealed in a video podcast.

The spike room at Disneyland's Indiana Jones Adventure. The talking water fountains of Epcot. There are many interactive elements at the Disney parks, and I need your help identifying them.

Returning the plug... I've been blogged in response to my previous episode (the review of the 2009 WDW Trivia Calendar).

A look at the new 2009 Walt Disney World Trivia Calendar, and an attempt to explain why I don't really like trivia books, but I do like this calendar. See www.intrepidtraveler.com for more details.

Another Crappy Podcast got a short interview on the Leo Laporte TWiT Live video show at the New Media Expo in Las Vegas today. Special thanks to Steve Bjork for making it happen.

Why did I suddenly get over 27,000 podcast downloads per week in July? What's going on with the Pirate's Chest crane game audio from the last episode? And does anyone remember the Disney's California Adventure "Stories from California" attraction.

One of my Disney songs gets used in an arcade game, I play my new version of Grim Grinning Ghosts, and share an interesting place to illegally obtain Disney audio and video.
