100: 100 Shows – Reflect, Play, and Celebrate

This week we’re celebrating 100 episodes with lots of Mad Chatter fun. We reflect on our favorite moments from the past 99 episodes, share funny stories in the segment “Did That Just Happen?” and even hear from special guests who have been on the show in the past.

In a very special Mad Chatter game, four of our listeners play along to see who can “Name That Disney Tune.” Plus, in our own version of The Match Game, we ask the competitors to guess which Chatter said what on a variety of Disney topics. Then, the three of us go back in time to 2007 to give a trip report of our very first visit to Walt Disney World as a trio. All that and much, much more awaits you on our 100th show!

90: Disneyland FAQs + A Peek at “The Further Adventures of Walt’s Frozen Head”

If Walt Disney toured Magic Kingdom today, what would he say about the current state of the park? That’s the premise of the upcoming film “The Further Adventures of Walt’s Frozen Head,” in which a low-level employee stumbles upon Walt’s head in storage and is persuaded to take him around Walt Disney World. Ben Lancaster, the man behind the film, joins us to discuss what it was like shooting in Magic Kingdom without permission, what he hopes to accomplish with the piece, and how Disney fans can get involved. Plus, he joins us for a “Price is Right”-style game, in which we try to guess the costs of various Walt Disney World items and experiences.

After that, we turn our attention to Disneyland to address a few listener questions about what it’s like vacationing at Walt’s original park. Special guest Teri, who is taking a trip to Disneyland in July, presents us with her own list of questions about what to expect, whether or not a Park Hopper is worth it, where to eat, and more.

To find out more about “The Further Adventures of Walt’s Frozen Head,” follow Ben on Twitter (@WaltsFrzenHead) and check out the film’s Kickstarter site.
