Enjoy our special conversation with Drew about what he feels makes Disneyland such a special place. Also, five Pixar creative professionals visit the Walt Disney Family Museum to discuss the art of creating characters for animation, and Jeff has a full report, as well as an encounter with original Mouseketeer Bobby Burgess!

Here's a trivia question for you... Besides Walt Disney, who was Mike Collins' hero when he was growing up? The answer: Bob Barker from The Price is Right. Mike never got to meet Walt, but he did get a chance to meet Mr. Barker shortly after he retired from his game show. On this week's show, Mike and EB will channel Bob's spirit as they unleash a new game show... THEME PARK SMARTS! CoasterRadio.com listeners will hear actual members of the general public answer what we consider to be really easy questions about amusement parks. All the listeners will have to do is guess wheteher the person will get the answer right or wrong. It sounds easy... but it's much harder than you might think! Plus, the guys will discuss some of the new inverting wooden coasters that will be coming to American parks in 2013. That's right, America is getting not one, not two, but THREE inverting wooden roller coasters next year. All three are under construction right now! But which one will wow theme park guests when summer rolls around? Speaking of excellent rides.... It's time for our annual poll where we ask you guys what you think is the Best New Theme Park Attraction of the year. Make sure you vote between now and the end of the year. Mike and EB will be announcing the winner during the first show of 2013! Also on this week's show, a Live Trip Report from Disneyland's Candlelight Processional and MUCH MORE!

Due to Nick & I not knowing anything about our topic today, & then Tom Corless blowing out of the recording session last night, I had to postpone the recording of this episode until today (Thursday). So instead, I'm joined with Jason Diffendal, to speak about a different topic, Epcot's (& Disneyland's) Candlelight Processional! I know we touched on it in EDRP #143, but it didn't get the respect it deserves! This Friday, I will be at Disneyland to attempt a new kind of EDRP. I'll be live in the parks giving you my review & talks of Disney's Electrical Parade, & Believe in Holiday Magic!!! And if you're interested, we have a preliminary schedule up for the rest of our Christmas shows: #149 (12/22 Sa)- Live Report from the Electrical Parade & Believe in Holiday Magic #150 (12/25 T)- 150th Show Celebration- Christmas Day #151 (12/28 F)- 2007 Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade #152 (1/1 T)- New Year's at Walt Disney World
