Listener Feedback Friday!

In this week’s Listener Feedback:

We started with emails that arrived last week but that we didn’t get to because
of the special Episode 101 last Friday.

The Abominables (a.k.a. Mike and Sunnie from Vegas) wrote in to let us know
that they’d be at the mini-MouseAdventure again. We did see them (along with
teammate Jamie), and it was great to see them again. They noted that they
both have jobs (we know what Mike does, but we we’re still wondering what
Sunnie does), but the bigger question – which we didn’t have time to
get the answer to because Mark had to run off to the MouseFest 2008 Executive
Planning Committee – is what’s the deal with the Mike/Justin thing (he
apparently answers to both). We’re hoping that Mike writes in to clear it
up.

Mike Hamilton of the Disney Podcast Directory wrote in to let us know that
he’d be at PodFest and the Mega Mouse Meet. (He helped out Paul Barrie at
the Window to the Magic Podcast table at the Mega Meet.) It was great to
finally meet Mike in person. He’s a really nice guy. He also explained how
he manages to listen to every Disney podcast out there, but it was so long
that we didn’t read it on air. Suffice to say that we got tired just reading
it.

Susan wrote in to agree with one of the Disney-MGM Studios Three
Wishes
. She’d love to see them turn the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
into the Indiana Jones Adventure that they have at Disneyland.

Scott Collins and gabby both wrote in to let Mark know that the name of
the restaurant before it became the Kona Cafe was the Coral Isle Cafe. Mark
now remembers and agrees, and he had a couple of nice meals there while
on his honeymoon 20 years ago. Now he’s trying to remember the original
name for ‘Ohana. Anyone?

John wrote in that he likes the Six
Degrees
concept, but wonders why Joe in LA took
such a long route
between the Mouseketeers and the Monkees. John gave
a quick-hop solution to that one. Now, Mark had the idea (and Mike came
up with it simultaneously) to have the listeners come up with the shortest
Six Degrees answer, so we’re going to give a Six Degrees question on a Monday
show and wait a few weeks before we read the reader solutions on air.

Kyle wrote in to ask about RideMax
and whether or not it would be a good idea to try it for Christmas Eve in
the Magic Kingdom. Mark and Mike weren’t sure how well it would work for that
particular day, but Mark said that he’d write to Mark Winters and get an answer
for next week’s show.

Brian asked about whether there is any news about updated tranportation
plans for the Disneyland Resort Area, in light of the reported Disney
management of two Gardenwalk hotels and a possible third theme park. Mark
& Mike aren’t the subject matter experts for the West Coast, but they
haven’t heard of any new transportation plans. (Besides, the Gardenwalk
hotel thing isn’t set in stone yet, and there’s no way that Disney will
build a third park until they fix the second park. And that’s scheduled
to go until 2012, and then they have to see whether the changes work or
not.)

Cody from Las Vegas wrote in with a teenager’s perspective on DCA Top
Threes:

  • Dining
    • Since they usually go back across to Disneyland to eat, he only
      had a top two.
    • 2. Burr-Bank Ice Cream
    • 1. Award Wieners
  • Attractions
    • 3. Tower of Terror
    • 2. California Screamin’
    • 1. Soarin’ Over California

Cody forgot to include a live entertainment list. Maybe teenagers just
don’t do live entertainment?

He closed by noted that Simba Rules. Mark is wondering what Mike’s budget
for paying off listeners is, because they’re still writing in about The
Lion King
.

George wrote in to ask what a “protein spill” is and what Mike
meant on an earlier show about why people shouldn’t bring expensive strollers
to the parks.

“Protein spill” is Disney cast member terminology for when
someone loses their lunch. It sounds much more innocuous when talking
in front of guests.

As to the stroller, Mike indicated that he was really talking about those
$400 Jeep-type strollers, and that a normal but expensive stroller should
be safe. It might get bumped around a bit, but it should be fine.

Molly Simonson wrote in to ask how she could go about making sure that
a friend of hers could experience some magic on her upcoming trip, since
her friend could really use some magic in her life after a family tragedy.

There’s no real way to guarantee that Disney will provide specific magic
for people, but sometimes a call to the hotel manager or Disney Guest
Services can help in a small way.

If Molly wants to provide the magic heself, she could call either the
Disney Florist
or Gifts of
a Lifetime
to get some assistance.

Julie from Pacifica (not Specifica), CA wrote in to ask what our Holiday
Top Three are.

Mike started with Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at #3, Mickey’s
Jingle Jungle Parade at #2 and Illuminations with the holiday tag at #1.

Mark responded with Mickey’s Jingle Jungle Parade for #3, the holiday
storytellers around the world as #2 and Illuminations with the holiday
tag as #1.

Kate (who attended MouseFest 101, the mini-MouseAdventure and the Hustle-tini
Meet) wrote in to thank us for putting the events on and to offer to help
with the mini-MouseAdventure next year. She also asked for a full-day MouseAdventure
at Walt Disney World.

We really enjoyed meeting Kate, too. She’s a very nice person, and we’re
glad that she had a great time.

While we’re still quite a ways away from offering a full-fledged MouseAdventure
on the East Coast due to logistical reasons, we’re certainly going to look
into it. There are issues related to the charging of fees, the assembly
space and the potential launch of hundreds of people into a theme park for
a game that would need to be worked out with Disney before we could even
start thinking about planning it. But that doesn’t mean that we’ve completely
ruled it out, either.

In the meantime, some additional help in running the mini-MouseAdventure
next year might be a very good thing.

Feedback and Other Stuff

Please send us your comments via email
or by calling our toll-free feedback line at 1-866-939-2278. Don’t forget
that we love voicemails because then we can put your voice on the show!

Don’t forget that we’re holding a contest to encourage you to donate to Broadway
Care/Equity Fights AIDS. Everyone that donates to the cause through Mike’s
donor page
will receive an entry into the random drawing for an “Anything
Can Happen” bookmark signed by Nicole Bocchi and Henry Hodges, who played
Jane and Michael Banks the night that Mike saw the show. The bookmark includes
a nickel-sized star that was part of a costume worn in the show during the
grand finale. The bookmark says “Mary Poppins, Broadway 2007.” This phase
of the fundraising campaign runs through December 4, so you’ve got until then
to donate. It doesn’t matter how much you give. Any donation
will get you entered into the contest. You can see the bookmark in question
in the show notes for Episode
93
.
