Awwwwww ... thanks! It's good to be missed.
It was funny, I listened while I was working out and I found myself starting to respond to things that were said! I kept having to remind myself it wasn't a live taping.
And Mel, from what I've been able to research the characters have been back at Liberty Tree Tavern since some time in 2009. We've eaten there at least twice in the last couple years and I'm pretty sure we've had characters both times.

Ian/Mel- When I went in october 2009 we made reservations at Liberty Tree and the cast member on the phone made it very clear that this was no longer a character meal, even for the Halloween Party nights (I had been hoping they would come back for at least that, but no). I took a peak in there during my last March 2010 trip during the dinner hour to show my sister what it looks like in there and also saw no characters. I haven't been back since, but it's very likely they are back, that would be great if they are!!!

I'm not home right now and can't do proper research, but I did look on the Disney mobile dining site (which I love!) and looked under character dining experiences. Only the Castle and Crystal Palace are listed for the MK. I guess we can trust that?

That's right, Mel.
The last character experience at Liberty Tree was January 4, 2009.

I hate having my pix taken so I was trying to hide behind Nanci, however, I was "moved" and can actually be seen!
Can't wait for 15th! but I will be standing behind the photographer this time

Yep, I stand corrected. That's what I get for trusting the Googles lol.
Checked the official Disney Dining site (don't know why I didn't just go there first?? ) and it lists no characters. Oops!

Another great podcast guys! I listened to it while unable to sleep after my surgery. Unfortunately, you guys made me chuckle a few times, which is not fun after abdominal surgery.
I'm happy to hear about the wifi "test" at CR. Even if it's not free, in this day and age, EVERY WDW resort should offer wifi.

I just started listening to the podcasts.
Everyone seems loves the podcasts, but I think they could be better.
1. The hosts need to edit themselves a little bit and cut out the off topic chit-chat on the show. No podcast should run longer than 60 minutes. Who has the time.
2. It would be fun if a show segment was added, where a hot topic on the message board is discussed by the hosts. Like a point, counter-point and interesting comments from the message boards are used in a debate.
3. I don't know if its possible, but have a power point type of display durring the podcast to show pictures of whats being talked about. For example, if the topic is Dining plan, have a slide-show of Disney restaurants.
If anyone else feels the same, feel free to add to the list.
I won the "Name the crocodile" contest.
Anyone want a slightly used Pygmy war canoe?

I have the time. So do lots of other people. I think the podcasts are a good length of time. I often listen to them during workouts, and often, they last longer than 60 minutes...
As for the format, it's a round table. There is supposed to be "chit chat". It makes the podcast more personal. There are plenty of "information only" Disney podcasts out there. I appreciate that this one is different!
I like your idea of discussing particularly interesting/thought provoking message board threads. That's a good one.

Heh ... that's my fault a lot of times. I'm a bit verbose.

I like this idea. It's something I've considered, as well. We may very well try to incorporate something like this into future shows, perhaps as like an every-other segment or something. Good suggestion!!

Actually Ian, your my favorite host so far. Your the only one on the panel that will carry a diffinitive opinion on any given subject and you try to keep the show moving forward.
Lets make no other plans -- kind of fell flat
Lets meet north of poly, was very clever and the best one I saw. I don't remember who guessed that but, that was the best one. Kudos

Thanks Pal - happy Monday to you too!
Well Ian - you have at least one fan!
I'd go into a lengthy discussion of how the show ended up the way it is - but I'll just keep it short... format wise - we think it works pretty well. We're not trying to be like everyone else and we're pretty set in the length and the style of the show. It will only get better with time - and the goal has always been to be around an hour. Usually we have a lot to talk about and since it's topical and we only tape every two weeks, we can't split it into two shows. It's all we can do to get it produced and aired in a timely fashion. So, it is what it is. Might not be everyone's bowl of soup. I'm ok with that.

What I meant to say before was that your suggestion is fantastic and we're going to implement it on the very next show!
Seriously, though ... thanks for the compliment. My guess is, however, that there's probably an inverse relationship between people who enjoy the podcast and people who would list me as their favorite host!

And in an epic turn of events - Ian will be unavailble for the next 4-6 podcasts due to scheduling difficulties.
