Birthday Stuff. Happy Birthday INTERCOT Insider - One Year Old. Happy Birthday INTERCOT - We’re 14! Duffy has been at the park one year.

The passing of Steve Jobs. His tie in to Disney and Pixar. Was he this generations Walt Disney? What happens down the road with Apple? Will there be a what would Steve do effect? John recommends you look up John Taylors book - Storming of the Magic Kingdom.

Rober Iger stepping down… 4 years from now. What will be his legacy?

Unplug and Plug - we finally get it right.

We ponder the career of Willow Bay.

Big Thunder Mountain long rehab Jan 9 thru May 27. Dumbo goes down Jan 9 thru Feb 17. Park hours are out thru April 2012.

INTERCOTs best of - Place to people watch. Carol hangs at World Showcase on a bench in Epcot. Gary looses everyone and wants folks to meet him at the Road Furniture in Epcot’s UK - otherwise known as Gary’s Column. Show 25, Ian may need to host. Ian sits by the fountain in Innoventions Plaza. Melanie people watches at Hollywood Studios outside Sweet Spells. Gary swears he saw Kenny Rogers there and chaos ensues. John heads to the Kona Cafe sushi bar.

Animal Kingdom Lodge - John is set to stay there and asks the staff their opinion and whether it’s too far away from everything. We ponder why they didn’t put in some sort of boat transportation to Animal Kingdom - missed opportunity.

Search INTERCOT Insider in the marketplace or go to: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.podbeanapp297790 - Please rate us if you get a chance.

John’s trip to California and Disneyland - so he hung with NotaGeek.

That's so funny that you ponder the career of Willow Bay. I always think of her when I think of Iger and wonder about her career. Also, agreed on AK transportation options. Maybe a train? Something? I'm headed off to listen. Can't wait to hear this.

Talked to a friend from England and he said it's made to look like war memorials they have in towns across England. They were built after WWI and inscribed with names of villagers lost in battle.They were inscribed again after WWII.

That is very cool. I always wondered why it was there.

Me too. I am such a bargain purse girl, but I find myself really want a D&B. I almost bought the bow pattern, but want to see this one first.

Another great podcast. The chemistry is just great. I am always sad when it is over.

I'm curious. John- How did you end up feeling about AKL? Did the long walk to the lobby stay annoying?

And lastly on Duffy. Yes, I bought the book. And yes it is mainly a retread, but my kids love it. The question now is how many more Duffy outfits will they want this week. At least they are cheaper than Lego sets!

Yet another great podcast!

Two things:

1) I've tied to listen to other Disney-related podcasts but they were so boring I couldn't get through more than a few minutes before I gave up. The fun and laughter y'all bring to the table is great. I particularly enjoy the occasional (make that frequent) rabbit holes you go down. Keep up the great work.

2) As far as Ian's comments about the "Nightmare Before Christmas" - I have to agree completely. I too, hate it. I love the idea of an overlay, and changing things up now and then, but why use that?

Thanks for letting me spend 90 minutes with y'all. Now back to waiting for the next episode.

Just finished listening to the podcast. Great fun as always! Loved hearing about your favorite people watching spots.

Just one thing:

-Ian is right about Disneyland also being known as the Magic Kingdom. It was Disneyland's nickname way before the Florida park was ever conceived. So, technically, he was right. The DL railroad even mentions the phrase "Magic Kingdom"

Natalie, we've talked about this. We don't tell Ian he was right about something because then he never stops talking about the time we told him he was wrong and he was right. There are hundreds of topics on the boards that support this.

The moaning and groaning over the Phillies loss was sufficent :)

Laughed so hard at you guys making fun of Gary's column. I will have to do a google earth search for that later.

I laughed a lot during this episode and considering I listen while working out on an ellipitical machine - it makes things difficult.

You know, I thought about that just as I posted that. However, I have to defend my Disneyland. It is the ORIGINAL Magic Kingdom.

So, I guess, rather than say Ian was right, I can say the rest of the crew was wrong. Is that better? :blush:

Seriously though, it was such an A-HA moment when I figured out what Gary was talking about.

Me too! For some reason I originally pictured it as a tower he would climb for a better people watching perspective. I could not figure out how I had missed a huge tower all these years.

The people watching in Disney is always a favorite pass time. We specifically like to spot the people with ridiculous theme park footware or poorly done Disney tattoos. :secret:

It shows you how unobservant I am when I had no clue what Gary's column is. I wonder how many times I have walked passed it?

Great podcast! I love how you guys get off topic! This one got so far away, but it kept me laughing, especially when you started singing The Gambler. I'm going to have that song in my head for the rest of the night though.

Just got through looking this up in Dave Smith's Disney A to Z. Disneyland has been referred to as the Magic Kingdom since it opened in 1955. Here's the spiel from the Disneyland Railroad:


You're attention please. The Santa Fe and Disneyland passenger train, E.P. Ripley, now loading on track number 1 for a trip around Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom. All aboard.

It took some searching but I have an answer. Take a closer look at the top of it. It's actually a sun dial. You can't see it in the Twitter pic but there are numbers around the side facing you in the picture and the shadow marks the time.

The monument is marking the center of the town square, which would explain why it's in the middle of the road (would that make it a road clock and not road furniture?)

I might be wrong, but I think this scene has been disabled on purpose for the time being. In Disneyland Paris, there was recently an accident involving this scene. Apparently, some of the boulders broke loose and fell on riders, injuring people. I think while the investigation is underway, the earthquake scenes in the BTMRR have all been disabled as a precaution.

I literally just finished listening to this segment and they all were basically mocking me for calling it the Magic Kingdom! If I wasn't so darn tired I would have argued the point further, but it was just too late lol.

I'll be expecting my formal apology and coronation as the Grand All Seeing & All Knowing Disney Guru at the beginning of the next podcast. :D

Is it referred to as the Magic Kingdom in any park literature, etc (besides the train spiel?). Of course it was referred to by Walt as his 'magic kingdom'....not Magic Kingdom. That's my point.

Can never be too safe with BTMRR. Maybe that's just superstition on my part, but something about that particular ride that I'm glad they are being cautious.

Yes I remember reading about the DLP accident. I will say though the earthquake element on BTMR at WDW was down months prior to the DLP accident occurring. I do hope they can and will get this element up and running again.

That's my point.Don't have any of my old park maps with me at the moment, but the Wikipedia page (which is maintained by Disney's PR agency) refers to it as the Magic Kingdom multiple times.

Mel, it was technically an unofficial nickname. Although it was never an official thing, signage wise, it was used interchangeably with Disneyland in the years leading up to the construction of WDW.

My point was, calling Disneyland The Magic Kingdom is not wrong, nor has it ever been. That's all.

Melanie
10-27-2011, 09:33 AM
Mel, it was technically an unofficial nickname.

LOL!

I guess I need to go back and listen to what was said, because I honestly don't remember (although I don't like going back and listening :blush: ). But again, I think I was saying that Disneyland Park was never officially known as the Magic Kingdom, and is not known as that now. At least that's what I was thinking. ;)

ETA: But I guess I'm just plain wrong. But can't anyone see where I'm coming from? :razz:

You can thank yourself since you're running the podcast next time Mr. Delicate Flow doubter.

And until someone shows me a piece of official park literature that says "The Magic Kingdom" for Disneyland, I'm going with what I've been told and been corrected for *by hard core Disneland fans* - that it's Disneyland or in modern terms after CA was built Disneyland Park - and not The Magic Kingdom.

Ian
10-27-2011, 10:11 AM
I'm going to have to mea culpa on this one, I think. While it does appear to be unofficially referred to as the Magic Kingdom, the Disneyland website calls it Disneyland Park.

I would think that's the official name, so ergo I was wrong. I humbly submit to the humiliation and mocking that is sure to follow. :D

Actually, if you search for Disneyland Magic Kingdom in Google Images, you can find these and a lot of similar pictures. There's even an old album cover that refers to Disneyland as Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom.

That's probably just an excuse to go to WDW and look at those Dooney & Bourke purses.

By the way, where are they in the parks?

Doesn't Italy in WS have a something similar where their street performers gather?

Anyway, thanks for another enjoyable Podcast. I know that in the last Podcast John was lamenting that he and Gary are no ones favorites. That's not true. There would be no Intercot without John. And did anyone else notice that Gary is the only Podcast cast member to have their name included in a Podcast title. No one else has, and he's had it twice.

To fill everyone in who doesn't follow our Twitter feed, Gary reunited with his column/pole/people watching spot/war memorial/sundial on Friday. It was a happy reunion indeed! :thumbsup:

Actually, we had a great time catching up with him and meeting his wife and girls, and even interesting conversations about beer with strangers/men with puppets. :eek: ;)

What can I say? I attract interesting people. Though I did offend a Chewbacca at MNSSHP by asking him if he was Itchy from the holiday special.

Gary! You are younger then I pictured!

And I still say it is more of a pillar. :secret:

Gary is actually the baby of the group, but probably wiser than us all. ;)

I'm the Doogie Howser of the podcast.

Have to give John some credit here. Was randomly listening to Episode 12, The Big Reveal, tonight while walking, and John actually did say to me "unplug and plug" towards the beginning of the episode. So subconsciously he got it right. ;)

Sorry, sleep deprivation prompted that comment.

BTW - I'm listening to the Pocast again right now and Carol was right about Kenny Rodgers being in The New Christy Minstrels. He was in that band briefly before The New Edition.

So what gives? I cannot access any of the podcasts from the website. Server problems?

No problems on this end - checked the server, the rss feed and the link on this site - all work.

The raw RSS feed is here as well:

Hmm, yes it seems to be on my end. I can access them from another machine but not this one. I recently had to have the OS reinstalled so perhaps that has something to do with it.

Thanks for the info.
