At 8 pm they turned off the lights and invited them to watch the fireworks from the castle windows. Still a magical experience.
Also, Ian, as a DVC member could you dedicate some time to talking about your experiences as an owner. In particular your thoughts on the limits on resells just announced.
Keep up the excellent quality of your podcasts and the interesting content you provide.
From here on out, we're going to start a new thread for individual discussion of each episode.
I'm going to attempt to move the comments regarding this episode from the other thread down to this one. We'll see how that goes. ;)
ETA: Posts merged in chronological time order, so it's a bit messed up this time. Forgive me! :blush:

Magical Journeys
I definitely plan on doing some DVC segments in the future, including a discussion about the recent resale change. In fact, I had that listed as a topic for this one, but we just ran over with too much other material. We'll probably cover that next time.Quote:

I loved your Pooh stories. I had a fun late night encounter with Chip and Dale in the MK. It was my 22nd birthday and the night DH proposed to me. It was EMH, and close to park closing-the park was nearly empty. Chip and Dale were wandering around Dumbo and no one was there. They started interacting with us, and pushed my cousin and husband around in an empty baby stroller. So much fun.
