o much of what was the Disney-MGM Studios over the years has come and gone. Only one attraction remains as it was largely designed during its opening. This park is perhaps more radically different than any other Disney park between its opening and the present. And yet there are some really wonderful gems that were there when the park opened, and they are still here today. We look at those timeless pieces and what makes them such treasured keepsakes of what is Disney's Hollywood Studios today. Each of them may have some surprises you may not have known until now. So join us for Disney-MGM Treasures From 35 Years Ago. ________________________________________________________ My new book, A Century of Powerful Disney Insights is available!

This stops the show for some time as they try to recover and get medical attention for the hurt wrestlers. The show is disrupted and they have to change the scheduled matches. In the main event it's the WCW World Heavyweight Champion The Giant against Greg “The Hammer'' Valentine. Also, we get the first iconic nWo black and white promo.

Hooray for Hollywood! We begin a brand-new series of episode dedicated to all things Disney-MGM Studios and what could've been!

This month, we take you through the glorious two-hour special that is The Walt Disney World Fourth of July Spectacular from 1988. This is a commentary on the entire special, which is on YouTube currently on many different channels. Here is the link we used: Click Here. As we go through this discussion, we look at each section, analyzing how things have changed and also how the special seems just a bit off. The entire show is filled with celebrity appearances, song and dance numbers, testimonials, and even the Beach Boys. We notice many instances of synergy within the company and even some super early shots of Disney-MGM and the backlot/Streets of America in 1988. Todd leads us on this one as we get into who is who throughout the special. We hope you enjoy this Fourth of July special as we take you back to 1988 and a different era for the Walt Disney Company. Enjoy!

The WCW roster deals with the aftermath of the New World Order's legendary backstage assault from the previous Nitro in this final episode before Hog Wild on PPV, which is also the last of the Disney/MGM tapings due to the 1996 Olympics. Join Dean and Liam as they watch through the babyfaces standing up in defiance while the heels get even more sinister in their actions as they also vow to take down the NWO. But why does this episode feel like it has been visited by time travellers?

This week, Peter Alden and Pete Gould conclude their month long "Indypalooza", and the boys go out in style as they welcome special guest Kevin Brassard to the show! Kevin was the very first stunt performer hired to portray Indiana Jones in a live action stunt show at the (then) Disney/ MGM studios in Orlando, Florida, and 30 years later... he's still doing it! Kevin will talk about how he got the role, what were some memorable moments for him over the past 3 decades and exactly what kind of strain being an adventuring archeologist can put on the human body. Like Indy himself said: "It's not the years honey, it's the mileage." --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-adventures-of/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-adventures-of/support

Greg Nutt posted a photo: The old backlot, or, Streets of America, at the former Disney-MGM Studios at Walt Disney World had a lot of character. The backlot was demolished for the construction of Galaxy's Edge at the renamed Disney's Hollywood Studios. The backlot was a lot of fun, but the reasons for why they were built to use as filming locations in addition to the tourist aspect of it, was never fully realized. It was also the former home to The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights from 2005-2016.

WDW Radio # 589 - The Disney-MGM Studio Backlot in Burbank That Never Was This week, we will look at one of the most interesting, unique, yet obscure, unbuilt Disney Parks - The Disney-MGM Studios Backlot in Burbank. That's right, in the mid-80's officials from the city of Burbank, California worked towards an agreement with Disney to build a theme park, retail, dining, hotel, and studio in their downtown district. We will explore the early genesis of the idea, the dream, the Imagineers who worked on the project, storyline, and very detailed look at exactly what this complex was going to include... including some very odd concepts. Of course, we'll find out what problems caused this to not only never be built, but led to a longtime (possibly ongoing) feud for the Disney Company, as well as the overall aftermath... and what ideas survived. ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com/Community - Join the community and conversation WDWRadio.com/Support - Join the WDW Radio NATION to get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch, chat and CALL-IN Wednesdays 7:30pm ET on Facebook LIVE WDWRadio.com/Events - Upcoming WDW Radio Disney meets, On the Road events, cruises, and more!

The Main Event featured Arn Anderson vs Sting and an excellent match of Psicosis vs Dean Malenko. Will the NWO show up? If the NWO does show up, what will WCW have to say about their antics?

Thank you for downloading Wedway Radio; this is the Disney history show! This week, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Disney's Hollywood/MGM Studios by looking at the first days of the Disney-MGM Studios theme park. Enjoy!

We've been to the Disney Hollywood Studios a lot. Some members of the family more than others (one of us even worked there for a bit). So, we have thousands of memories from the Park. From Anthony hating his Star Wars Training adventure to Adam getting hit by a bus behind the Tower of Terror. We talk about it all!  Remember, you can find us at: - Facebook: www.facebook.com/BodaciouslyAwesomeFamilyShow/ - Twitter: @BodaciousFamily - Email: BodaciouslyAwesomeFamilyShow@gmail.com - www.theroarbots.com - www.geekdad.com

Brian Collins joins our Tour Guides George Falcione and Jason Thomason to talk about his time as a show writer for Walt Disney Imagineering.  Brian shares some great stories with us from working on the Great Movie Ride to creating graffiti for the Disney-MGM Studios and more!  Be sure to follow Brian on Twitter @BrainstormInst, The Mouse and the Imagineer on Facebook and at http://www.wdwithme.com/

 Welcome to Episode 43.5! We are here tonight to chat with Chris Debiec, who plays a key role in the early days of Disney-MGM Studios.  Todd, Brian & How are in attendance tonight and we start you off with some information about the upcoming Lake & Lagoon tour.  Some information is also revealed about the gift for this upcoming event and also some key information if you would like to meet any of us.  For more information, please visit here - Click Here At the moment, Chris is working on some top secret projects, but we get him on the phone to talk about his time at Disney. He started at the studios in the late 80s, as a production assistant. Like many people, Chris started in the Disney College Program, being one of the last classes at the Snow White Village.  We also learn that Chris worked at Captain Cook's at the Polynesian. Throughout this episode, Chris has so many amazing stories. We learn all about stealing ice in World Showcase, conversations with Jim Washburn and The Muppets. The entire conversation is filled with amazing, never heard stories related to the early days of Disney-MGM. As a real, working studio, you get real Hollywood stories - which is amazing. The stories almost don't feel like a theme park and more from the backstage area of a movie set, which totally makes sense.Huge thanks to Chris for spending time with us and answering our questions. We really enjoyed talking with him and found him to be full of amazing stories.

Thanks for downloading WEDWay Radio, a show about exploring the Disney parks, Disney history and the Walt Disney Company. This is episode #142 - Dinner and a Horror Movie. On this episode we take a look at the end of Disney MGM's first real expansion with the opening of the Muppet Vision 3D, The Honey I Shrunk The Kids playground and the opening of Commissary Lane, which includes the subject our this show - The Sci-Fi Dine In Theater Restaurant. The Sci-Fi Dine In Theater Restaurant is an amazing dining experience.  It may be the best themed restaurant in all of Walt Disney World. We discuss many of the theming elements and how it fits into the overall theme of the Studios.  Nate also shares experiences working at the Sci-Fi. Enjoy!

This episode was recorded December 15, 2008 at the  Disney-MGM studios theme park

"The Fisherman and His Wife" is an old story that comes from the British Isles, among many other places, and in many other forms. (Notice how it's always something like "The Fisherman and his Wife" instead of "The Wife and Her Fisherman"? There's no doubt that sexism abounds in folklore.) It's a cautionary tale about greed and keeping up with the Joneses, one of those stories about an enchanted animal that grants wishes. Bet you've encountered one of those at some time.We get some very capable help this time around from Zephyr's friend Cassia, making another appearance as guest performer. She's visiting us from Massachusetts, spending five days with us at Fort Wilderness, the Disney campground adjacent to Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. She and Zephyr are spending a day exploring each of the four theme parks, and they give us a report on the two they've hit so far-- namely, Animal Kingdom and Epcot. (Next on the agenda are Magic Kingdom and Disney Hollywood Studios, formerly known as Disney MGM.) And this podcast was recorded on National Appreciate a Dragon Day, so if there's a friendly dragon in your neighborhood, give it a hug for us.Happy Listening!Dennis (Narrator), Kimberly (Fish/Dragon), Zephyr (Husband) and Cassia (Wife)  Podcast Recommendation: Nina Kimberly The Merciless

Did you know that "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" is not really a folk tale? That's because it was written, at least in its present form, by the English poet Robert Southey (1774-1843) although he may have based it on an actual folk tale of some sort. In our version, which is based on his, Goldilocks is a Valley Girl and Papa Bear is a hippie. And does anybody really eat porridge? We come to you from Orlando, Florida, where Zephyr has made his umpteenth venture into Disney MGM and Disney's Animal Kingdom. In the latter, he rode the brand new ride Expedition Everest. He also made his presence known for the first time at Universal Orlando, devoting a day each to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. (His offical judgment is that the Spiderman ride is "officially awesome".) Meanwhile, mom and dad had a brand new experience at SkyVenture, a training facility for skydivers. They didn't jump out of any planes, but they did float on a column of air and felt like Spiderman for a few minutes. Happy Listening, Dennis (Mama Bear), Kimberly (like-Goldie-ya know?) and Zephyr (Papa and Baby Bear) Goza
