Please stand clear of the doors – The Mad Chatters Podcast will depart momentarily. On this week's show we're highlighting three modes of transportation that have strong ties to Disney parks: the skyway, the monorail, and the peoplemover. Not only do all three of these transportation methods offer an above-ground alternative to cars and boats, but they also were all very new to the U.S. when The Walt Disney Company brought them to the parks. On our latest show we look back at the history of these transports, how they revolutionized the Disney parks, and why they mean so much to Disney fans today. In our latest edition of "The Windows of Main Street," we honor the life of Disney Legend Marty Sklar, who sadly passed away last week. Plus, we share some of our favorite WDW hidden gems in the segment "It's the Small Things, After All." Come join the conversation! (For the comfort of others, no smoking please.)

We were just with him two weeks ago in Anaheim at the D23 Expo and wanted to share with you why Marty was such a big part of Disney for us and a few stories about his amazing history with Walt Disney. Plus, the one phone call he didn't return that almost stopped his Disney career before it began.   Thank you Marty for all the Magic & Pixie Dust you have brought to hundreds of millions of people all over the world.  You “sparked” our Disney passion from the first time we heard you speak at the 30th Anniversary of EPCOT and you will continue to inspire us all to “Dream It and Do It”.    For a few videos with Marty telling his amazing stories, go to blog.disneytravelsecrets.com   Also be sure to check out RymanArts.org  Special thanks to MyDIStee.com who will be donating a portion of every sale of their Disney inspired shirts to Ryman Arts.

Mousetalgia reports on "An Affair of the Art," the Ryman Arts annual fundraiser held at the home of Disney Legend Marty Sklar, which raises funds to help offer art training to high school students. This year, the event was focused on Herb Ryman's history with the circus, and featured a panel discussing the sketches and artwork Ryman created while he traveled with the Ringling Brothers circus while he was away from Disney in 1949-51. We'll discuss the food, atmosphere, and experience of this benefit party hosted up in the hills above LA. Also, Jeff and Kristen visited Chili John's in Burbank, one of Walt Disney's favorite places to eat chili when he could escape the studio for a breather. We review the food, the establishment, and its mysterious ties with last summer's Optimist alternate reality game.

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #293 for the week of September 23, 2012. I'm here to help you have the best possible Disney vacation experience, and bring you some Disney magic to to wherever you are with this podcast, videos, blog, live broadcasts, events, trivia books, CDs and more. You can find it all at WDWRadio.com As we prepare for EPCOT Center's 30th anniversary next week, recently I've shared interviews with Disney Imagineers Tony Baxter on Show 289 and Jason Grandt on Show 291. Today I'm excited to bring you my conversation with the Disney Imagineer who really helped start it all, Disney Legend Marty Sklar. Since joining the Disney Company in 1956, Marty's duties included press and publicity, working at and heading up Walt Disney Imagineering, writing for Walt, and helping to open Disney Parks around the world. In our conversation, Marty recounts stories of his early days at Disneyland, working closely with Walt, the development, genesis and opening of EPCOT Center and much, much more. See how you did on last week's Walt Disney World Trivia Question of the Week and answer this week's challenge for your chance to win a Disney prize package. I'll then have some quick announcements about upcoming events, including what we'll be doing for Epcot's 30th including our annual online Disney charity auction to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, and much more. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show. ------------------------------------- THANK YOU for your support by voting WDW Radio Best Travel Podcast for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011! ------------------------------------- Visit http://WDWRadio.com for our Disney blog, videos, events and more!
