Hi All,

With this being the actual 2nd anniversary of the show, we thought it would be fun to reflect on how our friendships began --way way back on a Disney message board called "Mouse House Magic" (or "MHM").

Today, we are thrilled to have a very special guest on the show: The one behind the magic of the MHM message board, our beloved Disney Anne.

Listen to how an online message board about all things Disney morphed into a family gathering, of sorts.

Howdy, folks!

This week, the boys were caught in the holiday crush and couldn't get together to provide the new show they wanted to. However, as a special audio-only treat, they thought they'd share a very special archived podcast from 2006, which features Dewey and Tony as they reflect on Star Wars Weekends - LIVE from Disney's MGM Studios in May of that year.

In 2006, Tony was a co-host of a Star Wars related podcast called, "Echo 3 to Echo 7".  In May of that year, he invited Dewey to call in to him, Live from the Parks, to talk about what he was experiencing. What you are about to listen to is the complete episode of that podcast, which isn't too unlike the show we provide to you now, 15 years later!

This was the first ever full length conversation between Dewey and Tony, and is full of a great eyes-on perspective of how Disney was celebrating Star Wars that year - a half dozen years before they would actually own the property!

Since this week also marks the 50th Anniversary of the formation of Lucasfilm, we thought it might be fun for you to listen to the complete program, as it details the history of Lucasfilm and Disney Parks up to that time.

See ya next week for a special show dedicated to more of the Lucasfilm/Disney connection.

Enjoy and let us know what you think!

Best,

Happy New Year!

Remember when Disney Parks had a destination specifically set aside for celebrating New Year's Eve every...single...night?  We sure do. Come join us, as we reflect on the unique history of Disney World's Pleasure Island.

This week's What's Happening Now is about the return of Typhoon Lagoon, which prompts Dewey to ask:

"What's your favorite?: Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach?"

We'd love to hear about your memories about Blizzard Beach, or which of the waterparks you prefer? Let us know in the comments, or on our social pages #wdwreflectionspodcast.

Video highlights from this chat, including photos and exclusive video, will be available soon on YouTube! Please subscribe to our channel:

Hello and Welcome to the Premiere Episode of the WDW Reflections Podcast!

Your hosts, Dewey, Ron, & Tony, are just three guys with a shared appreciation of all things Walt Disney World, past present & future. Our friendship started out of lively discussions on a Disney Message Board back in the day, and we are thrilled to share our unique Disney Park memories, opinions and experiences with you. 

In this very first show featuring all three hosts, we take some time out to introduce ourselves and provide some background information on how we met, what we expect the show to be about, and so much more.

Future shows will feature personal recollections of early visits, reflections on what has been, and what the park has become. The show promises to be a fun, personal and frank discussion of the things we love (and don’t love) about the Happiest Place on Earth.
