On this tour of Disney Conversations, I talk about the keys that I believe led to the development and ultimate success of Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Walt was well known for his love of this planet and everything on it, as evidenced by his True-Life Adventure series. I talk a bit about how that leads to bringing it all to life at a wonderful theme park.
Finally, I end with a note of gratitude to all who have contributed and suppor...

Joining me this week is Tour Guide Laurie Harding!
We talk about how things began at the Disney/MGM Studios. We chat about how the idea was once a seed in the plans for EPCOT and grew into a larger dream.
In the process, we talk about some of the original attractions and on sight productions that took place in the early years. We also bring it into today by giving you a little tour around today's Disney Hollywood Studios.
Sad to say, tourists! This is a solo tour! I am your guide through this short show, but I am hoping I packed the right gear for the journey!
On this tour, we look at the evolution of EPCOT Center. I chat about the changes that occurred after Walt Disney's death. Who took over? What were the changes to the original plan? What's in the future for EPCOT?
I truly appreciate you hanging on with me as this podcast is going thr...
In honor of the Disney100 celebration, we decided to take a look back at how everything began for Walt Disney World.

Thank you for sticking with us!
Until next time, Tourists...

What does it mean to be a Disney Obsessed Fan? We discuss this very thing on Tour 121 of Disney Conversations. Joining Magical Matthew on this excursion are Tour Guides Diane Whiting and Mindy Muir!
This discussion, more than most, is one big Dug Moment, thus the brief sound-bite! We trail off into many realms of our Disney obsessions and talk about everything from Parks Memorabilia to Clothing to future desires.
Tour Conductor Magical Matthew and Tour Guide Laurie Harding discuss some of the Destination D23 "announcements" regarding Walt Disney World. And, since most of what was shared didn't really have any concrete timelines, we decided to add a few of our own "announcements" in the form of Rumors We'd Like to Start!
It was a fun, early morning discussion that we both enjoyed immensely! We hope you will also!

As many of you may know, I have motions issues with thrill rides. I believe there are many others who so as well. One of the questions I get often is, What can I do if I have motion issues? Can I still enjoy Walt Disney World or Disneyland?

Tour Guide Laurie Harding joins us this week as we discuss how the idea of on-site resorts came to be at Walt Disney World.
Of course, we start with the Contemporary and Polynesian resorts. But we talk about the expansion from one resort hotel to over 20 on-site options now available.
Due to some technical issues, I had to resort to using ChatGPT for help, and well let's just say it was close but not completely accurate. We d...
