Podcast appearances and mentions of liberty square riverboat

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - It's time to take a leisurely cruise around the Rivers of America as we head to Magic Kingdom to ride the Liberty Square Riverboat on this episode of Attraction Checklist. Attraction audio recorded on June 6, 2024. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode we're going to hop aboard the Liberty Belle for a cruise on the Liberty Square Riverboat. The Walt Disney World website describes this attraction saying: Cruise the scenic Rivers of America aboard an authentic steam-powered paddle wheeler.  There are no age or height requirements for this attraction and the thrill level describes the attraction as being a slow ride. Before we shove off, here are five fast facts about the Liberty Square Riverboat in Magic Kingdom. 1. The Liberty Square Riverboat attraction opened at Walt Disney World on October 2, 1971.  The first boat that served was called the Admiral Joe Fowler, named after Joe Fowler who was in charge of construction at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.  In 1973, a second river boat was added named the Richard F. Irvine.  In 1986, that boat was renamed to Liberty Belle which still runs the Rivers of America today.  An interesting note is that the original boat, the Admiral Joe Fowler was damaged in a dry dock incident and was retired in 1980.   2. The Liberty Belle is a steam-powered sternwheeler replica.  Sternwheeler means there is one paddle wheel on the rear or stern of the ship.  A steam engine pulled water from the river to turn into steam to power the paddlewheel. 3.  The Liberty Belle is 47 feet tall and features four decks for guests to visit during the ride. 4. During the 17 minute trip, a narrator, in the in the voice of Mark Twain points out the sights guests see as they travel down the river including an early American settlement, a Native American village and Big Thunder Mountain. 5. The captain on the narration track is named Horace Bixby who was a real riverboat captain who mentored Samuel Clemons aka Mark Twain. Let's head to Liberty Square for a ride on the Liberty Belle.  After the ride audio I'll give you my thoughts on this attraction.  This is a binaural recording so if you have headphone put them on now as we ride Magic Kingdom's Liberty Square Riverboat!

Some of those names that came through his program are household names:Brad Bird (Directed The Incredibles, Incredibles 2, Ratatouille, Tomorrowland)Don Bluth (The Rescuers, Pete’s Dragon)Tim Burton (The Nightmare before Christmas)Ron Clements (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Princess and the Frog)Andreas Deja (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King)Glen Keane (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Tangled)John Lasseter (Toy Story Franchise, Cars Franchise, Pixar)It is because of that training program that he earned the nickname “The Beloved Mentor”Eric Larson retired in February, 1986 after 52 years with Disney -- making him the last of the Nine Old Men to retire. Sadly, he passed away just two years later."No one was more concerned with passing on the Disney legacy than Eric." -animator Andreas DejaBrenda’s Selection: John LounsberyBorn:  March 9, 1911      Birthplace:  Cincinnati, OH (but raised in Colorado and loved the outdoors)Died: February 13, 1976  (at the age of 64)College:  The Art Institute of Denver AND Art Center School of Design in Los Angeles.One of his instructors was very impressed with him and he sent him to interview with Walt Disney.As the 8th hire of Walt’s Nine Old Men he was hired by the Walt Disney Company on July 2, 1935 beginning as an assistant animator on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Working under Norm Ferguson he quickly became a star animator.

Did you know that Walt Disney envisioned a Mississippi-style riverboat in the first plans for his “Mickey Mouse” amusement park back in the early 1950's? Yes, Walt always wanted a working riverboat in his park, no matter where it was going to be located. This week, we take a look at the unique riverboats in the North American Disney Parks, with this week's Word of the Week – Riverboat. The Liberty Square Riverboat is a classic Walt Disney World attraction that has been in operation (almost) since the Magic Kingdom's Opening Day. The ride along the iconic Rivers of America around Tom Sawyer Island has changed over the years, but it's still a familiar, pleasant, and fun experience that every Magic Kingdom guest should have! This week, I'll give you some history on the riverboats, a little trivia, and tell you what will be happening next along the Rivers of America!

As election season kicks into high gear in the U.S., we’re putting the spotlight on the land in Magic Kingdom dedicated to all things America: Liberty Square. This week we go “Behind the Magic” to highlight attractions like the Liberty Square Riverboat, eateries such as Columbia Harbour House, and the details and hidden gems that make […]

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. So the pieces are coming together for my trip to Orlando. I have my ticket down purchased, we have plans to be in the park one day with the whole family, and if things go well I will spend a couple evening after the conference in the parks, or at least at the resorts. And what I’d love to hear is would anyone be interested in meeting up sometime between June 10-14? Just email me or call the voicemail line and let me know if you’ll be down there and we can maybe coordinate a get together of some sort.
