It's the most wonderful time of
year here on the Disney Avenue Podcast and boy,
what an amazing show we have in store for you. As many of you know,
Christmas and Disney go hand in hand. I’ve yet to experience a
Christmas display or Spectacle anywhere on earth that can top
Disney. The beautiful lights and decorations along Main Street, the
beauty of Cinderella Castle decked out in millions of lights, and,
of course, that little light show over in Disney’s Hollywood
Studios, the truly breathtaking Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing
Lights.
As many of you may have heard by
now, this year, 2015, will be the last year that Disney will be
showcasing this 20-year-old holiday tradition. And so, with the
Holiday Season now upon us and with the closing of the Osborne
Lights, I thought, what can we do here on the Disney Avenue
Podcast to really capture that Disney Christmas spirit,
what can we do to entertain our listeners and bring them more of
our signature interviews, history and stories from big names in the
Disney stratosphere? And then it hit me! Why not continue a
Disney Avenue Podcast Christmas tradition by
inviting the top Disney historian and author on the planet earth to
come on the show and tell us all about the history of the Osborne
Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights and other gone but not forgotten
Walt Disney World Christmas classics. So friends, it is with
Christmas cheer and everything holly and jolly, to welcome back for
a third time to the Disney Avenue Podcast, the one
and only, Jim Korkis.
While listening to this wonderful show, please be sure to head on
over to themeparkpress.com and grab yourself a copy of Jim's
brand new books on sale now. There aren't better stocking stuffers
around, I assure you! Merry Christmas everyone and enjoy the
show...
The Disney Avenue Podcast would like to thank our
producer Geren Piltz and our graphic designer Brian
Vermillion for their contributions to this show!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
