It's another night at the Adv Club... Starting things out is Tuesday's Radiothon. Great stuff as always! After that we head to the Hoopla for perhaps the best shows that I've ever seen in the library! There were a few moments where there wasn't a dry eye in the room! The show really highlighted the talent and diversity of the performers. Also many congratulations to the Adventurers Club Door Host, Kirk for reaching 20 years with the Walt Disney Company! Kirk received his 20 year pin in the middl...

Hi all. It's the week that I've been dreading since the end of June. The Adventurer's Club is closing on Saturday, and there's nothing we can do but enjoy the last few nights. The Bleepin Wife and I will be there every night this week and I'll be posting the best audio that I recorded from each night. There may be repeats of Hooplas or Radiothons, but while the shows are similar, no two shows are ever the same. Hope you enjoy them. It's going to be tough for us to say Good Bye... Kungaloosh!...

Hi all!I'm kicking off the 4th season of ToV the same way I do every year on Labor Day weekend since I got here in 1998: Pirates and Pooh! (I explain why in the show...)BTW - I've decided to go back to my roots. Podcasting for me, with content taking priority over quality., if you like it cool. If not then there's plenty of Disney Podcasts that take pride in their "Quality Audio" to listen to. Over the past year, I've lost my focus and a bit of my soul by worrying too much what people think. F*c...

This week we beat the head in the Air Conditioned splendor of the HAll of Presidents! Do we need to say more??? Kick ice awesomeness all over the place! This episode marks the debut of the Bleepin Wife Productions Vanity Card. As "Executive Producer" (and I use the term loosely) Bleepin' wants to be just like Chuck Lorre who has a new vanity card at the end of Two and a Half Men. Sometimes they relate to the show, sometimes they don't. All the time they're pretty darnn funny! So check out the Ly...

Hi all...You've probably already heard that Pleasure Island and the Adventurers Club will be closing on 9/27. They made the announcement on Friday night, so after we found out, Bleepin' and I went to visit the crew on Saturday. We'll be heading there at least 1-2 times a week until the end of September, so we'll be sure to document the AC for your memories and ours. Come along and join us for the annual Balderdash Cup competition!It's both depressing and fun at the same time. I hope you enjoy is...

I'm back from the NHL Playoffs! Well I should say I'm finally off of my couch... Go Red Wings! This week we head back to Westfest for the "Watch the Bleepin' Goat! Goat! Goat!" meet on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, courtesy of John from Houston of the Meandering Mouse Podcast. After that I hang out with my friend Princess Bella and her parents and see a couple attractions at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Parents: I dropped 2 F-bombs that I forgot about until I was mixing down the show. One was 2 min...

This week for Episode 102, I do three things that I've never done before! Sure I could give them away in this description, but where's the fun in that??? Trust me, it's a good time!

Hey everybody! This week I head to the MK and I take in three attractions. Not everything goes right. Sorry... A quick note on the audio. I've been experimenting with the binaural mic placement. Because of this my voice is a bit muffled in some spots.

It's Episode 100!Time to not Celebrate!This week I take in "One Man's Dream" with Julie Andrews.Oh, and I'm hanging out with Auntie Lo and Jeeper, just not in OMD. ;)

This week is totally different from a "normal" episode of TOV, if there is such a thing as a "normal" episode... This past weekend I went to the FX Toy Show at the Orlando Convention Center. While I was there I happened to catch a Q&A Panel with George Takei (Kaito Nakamura), Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman), and Stephen Tobolowsky (Bob) from the cast of Heroes. I know that a bunch of people who listen to ToV are Heroes fans, so this one is for them. If you're not a Heroes fan, listen anyways be...

Hola!This week we head to Epcot for the 15th Annual Walt Disney World Marathon.Ignore the wind... it was windy (obviously...)At Epcot we celebrate victory for many runners of the WDW MArathon and 1/2 Marathon, and those Goofy people who ran both, and also the insane people who ran the 5k, the 1/2, and the full marathon on the same weekend!!! (Seriously... WTF!?!?!)While I'm there I come across some slacking custodial who think that they should take their break onstage counting down the seconds u...

Ok, it's January 6th, also know as Three Kings in many nations of the World, also known as the last legal day of the Holiday Season. That can only mean one thing... Earl's a slacker and waits for the last minute to do everything!!! Come along as the Bleepin Wife and I (and the Bleepin' In-laws) hit the Adventurers Club on Christmas Eve! Ho Ho Ho!!!

This week the Bleepin' Wife and I start out telling a lie about how we weren't going to do any holiday stuff at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Of course we did, so come along with us and enjoy some free Hot Cocoa and Mickey's 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. After that we head to Epcot for the Holiday tag at the end of Illuminations. Then we wrap the whole thing up with Rusty Cutlass, the Pirate Band back at MVMCP. Actually that's a lie too... We wrap the whole thing up with the return of...

This week we head to Sea World for a day of fun, beer, and air that smells somewhat like fish. To say anything more would just give it away. Good times! Have fun! Of course, portions of this episode may not be suitable for younger listeners... ;)

It's the last week of Food and Wine! Noooooooooooooooo! So of course we had to hang out and have some delicious beverages.... The beverages happened to be Sam Adams, and some of them happened to be free thanks to The Boston Beer Company's Sam Adams Seminar! Of course after that we hung around in the area to buy some more beer at the Sam Adams tent. Some guy happened to be singing some songs that we're pretty sure that he didn't sing originally... He was fun though. Have a listen. :)...

So this week is a time warp episode... I recorded it the day after the last episode, yet didn't get a chance to finish it until yesterday. For our first anniversary we went to Discovery Cove to swim with dolphins, stingrays, sharks, and barrcudas! I think this is a first for Orlando podcasting, and I hope you enjoy the experience... I know we sure did and we can't wait to go back!!! One thing to note: My recorder was in a waterproof bag (and in the water) for much of the experience, so the crisp...

Hey everybody! This week we're hanging out with the "Bad Boys" of the DPN During Fat and Happy 2007. We're all over the place this week, SpiderMan, Food and Wine Festival, and the Adventurers Club. Parents please note... We're all adults talking about adult topics like beer and such. Use your best judgement. :)

Happy Birthday WDW, and especially Epcot! As part of Epcot's 25th Anniversary Celebration, the Park had a rededication Ceremony with Special Guest Marty Sklar. It was a wonderfully fun time being surrounded by DFs in the hot sun! The DPN Fat and Happy Crew were there, and now you can be too! Have fun! More from Fat and Happy '07 coming very soon!

Sa-Weet!! Haunted Mansion re-opened today! It takes a lot to make my jaw drop. Today it took a lot to pick up my jaw when the ride was over. Holy Sh_t Batman! I was amazed from start to finish! AMAZING! After that we head into the archives as I celebrate my 9th anniversary here in Central Florida (and 10th Anniversary with the Walt Disney Company.) Hope you enjoy it.

I'm back! (Again...) Join the Bleepin' Wife and I as we take in one of Florida's Historical Attractiona, Weeki Wachee Springs. Lately the park's fate has been up in the air, so now is the time to take it all in. Both the Bleepin' Wife and I highly recommend taking the drive from Central Florida over to the Coast to enjoy the wonderful experience that they offer. This episode is a little bit different from the norm, because it involves a combination of storytelling and attraction audio, yet not t...

I'm back and almost on a schedule! Woot! This week I continue the theme that I started last week, and I find more great Air Conditioned places to beat the heat at WDW. This week, the AC was kicking in China! It all starts with the only indoor Live Entertainment with Si Xian, and then we head into the China Theater to catch the Circle Vision film, Reflections of China. Have fun and stay cool!

Woot! Finally got a chance to hit the parks after our short vacation and working at 6am-6pm every day (and being exhausted when I'm through!) Last night after work I found some of the best AC in World Showcase while relaxing in Impressions de France. This is one of the most relaxing and beautiful shows in WDW. Since it features scenery and music instead of showing the people of the country, it doesn't date itself like Canada & Norway. It's one of my favorite movies in the Park, and I discove...

What Ho Vacationers! (That doesn't mean which ho, it's different...) This week we stretch out Auntie Lo's Birthday Celebration and return to the Adventurers Club for the Hoopla! After PI closes for the night we head on over to Epcot to the "Sounds of Summer" at the American Gardens Amphitheatre. This week's performance is "Slippery When Wet, A Tribute to Bon Jovi!"

Hey everybody! This week we head down I-4 to experience the wonder that is Busch Gardens Africa! This is a different sort of episode. I think it's more of an "interactive trip report" than your typical episode of TOV. We had a ton of fun in the park that day, and I hope you have as much fun as we had!
