Podcast appearances and mentions of mickey bar

Hey Ohana On this episode we're diving head first into one of our absolute FAVORITE Disney snacks. It may seem less flashy than the ever popular Dole Whip or a Mickey Bar, but there's just something special about Disney popcorn. From the various flavors found around the world to the ever-popular Popcorn Buckets, we can't get enough! Joining us this week are our good friends Sue Passauer and Josh Avery (who has the inside "scoop" on popcorn in WDW). Thanks for tuning in and as always...See Ya Real Soon!

The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast kicks off its fourth season! For our season premiere, I welcomed one of my favorite Disney content creators, Deni Sunderly, to the podcast. Deni loves everything Disney, and in 2013, she moved to Central Florida from Maryland. Walt Disney World is her happy place, and she loves sharing it with others on her YouTube channel. She is also the PR Manager for the Florida nonprofit Give Kids the World Village. Deni Sunderly and her husband of almost 30 years have two grown children. At Walt Disney World, her favorite snack is a Mickey Bar! In the first episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast: Season Four, Deni Sunderly spoke about Walt Disney World's missed opportunity to celebrate its milestone 50th anniversary and Fantasmic's return to Disney's Hollywood Studios. Deni also gave her take on the headline-making news of Bob Iger's return to the Walt Disney Company following controversial leader Bob Chapek's dismissal and our hopes for the Disney at 100 celebrations.

Speaking of voicemails, you all brought it this week and it was a blast to hear some of your park memories, get some backup on whats "Redneck Disney", and even a Stream It and Skip It the Misfits will follow up on. Bringing listeners into the show is a highlight and you all brought it again this week, keep them coming. News includes the coming Spacecruiser Hotel, an intergalactic cruise experience that will be a must for all Star Wars enthusiasts. Exciting news for Disney College Program hopefuls as Walt Disney World has announced they will be restarting the service. Cj and ila also discuss what its meant to see the gates of Disneyland reopen to the public for the first time in over a year.

We all have Castmember interactions we can speak of that have made a Disney vacation even better just because of the added attention and kindness. Today, CJ and Mackee discuss the monumental impact Disney Castmembers have had on their personal experiences as well as other times they have been witness to acts of CM kindness. It's a great episode to bring back those special CM memories of your own. If you have one to speak of, consider calling in and sharing it with us! With ila off this week, guys take hot topics to Wakanda, California, and Disney Springs. From the potential for a new Disney+ series to a new event in Springs that's continuing the Soul love train, the hosts have been on for weeks. Are you spotting a trend? Our Misift hosts LOVE Soul! On the topic of love, CJ had some SERIOUS love for some food offerings in Epcot during the Taste of Epcot International Festival of the Arts. Spoiler... the pop'tart is MUCH improved!! Mickey bars and Molotovs include the very sensitive and real topic of cyberbullying and how even the Disney social media space can see this happen in a place most wouldn't think it could. A big reason the Misfit Mafia exists is to stand against this behavior and it sends both hosts into a hot rage for a moment. CJ then uses the Mickey Bar moment to lighten things and talk about his solo park day. How long do you think he stayed on Main Street?

Have you ever dreamt of building a brand new Disney theme park, YOUR fifth gate? So have the Misfits (well, kinda lol) and today they drop their individual ideas for each of their theme parks. Pixar cartoons, villains, and throwbacks to your childhood make appearances like never before in Walt Disney World. Today, the Misfits introduce you to the overall theme of each of their parks and what the "Main Street" entranceway will look like, with much more to come in Season 2! Put your Imagineering hat on, dream big, and download now to hang out at The Misfit Kingdom with The Misfits on Main! The season finale is on the horizon and Hot Topics brings the explanation of what you can expect during the season one break. With the ongoing Disneyland news, the hosts want to keep you up to date and will be sharing breaking news on the podcast's Instagram page. CJ, ila, and Mackee also deep dive into the growing story of a Hocus Pocus 2 and what they think of the reopening and reimagining of Chef Mickey's and Disney's Contemporary Resort. The mid-break has the hosts talking Sorcerers of The Magic Kingdom, hyping some season two content, AND a Stream It or Skip It about the Disney+ original, Becoming. Are these two things you must do, or both worth passing by? The second to last Mickey Bars and Molotovs of the season and The Misfits are still talking food. Did you expect anything else? From "I love lemons" to the TRUE perfect companion for a chocolate chip cookie, the Misfits feed your Disney soul and your food imagination.

In this Special Edition of the Mouse Lounge, Liana and Gary go Behind the Mickey Bar to discuss the new Carsland and Buena Vista Street in DCA.  More on format new shows are coming.  Please be patient.  Good things are afoot!

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) This episode, the Mouse Lounge proffers a plethora of percussion! But first, we go Behind the Mickey Bar, as Liana and I talk about our upcoming meet at Westfest 2012 and then delve into Disney news. Next, a Mouse Lounge Special Feature:  The BBCs Russell Davis looks at how the archives have treated to the two faces of Walt Disney.  Uncle Walt, who brought laughter and pleasure to millions, and… the rather tough businessman and social engineer. Enjoy the third of a five part series, Double Disney. Then, from the Disney Archives:  From the January 30, 1966 episode of Wonderful World of Color, Professor Ludwig von Drake introduces us to the art of Jazz and the swinging short subject, After You’ve Gone from the 1946 package film, Make Mine Music! Then, from Vault Disney:  A few weeks ago I played a Disneyland Record, A Child’s Introduction to Melody based on the short, Toot Whistle, Plunk, and Boom.  Well your response was overwhelmingly positive but you asked, What about the original cartoon?   The short was originally released to theaters in 1953 and made use of the then new widescreen format and novel stereophonic sound.  It finally found life on DVD when it was released early on in the Walt Disney Treasures series called, Disney Rarites and I present the entire short for you here.   If you’ve never seen it, you can find it on youtube, albeit with rather poor audio quality.  Still, it’s absolutely worth seeing. Then, from the original Mickey Mouse Club in 1956, the Firehouse Five + 2 join the Mouseketeers for a rip roarin’ Dixieland good time!  Listen carefully during The Tiger Rag, that’s Cubby O’Brien on the skins in a wicked awesome solo! Each show we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West.  Percussion in the parks was brought front and center last year, drum line and all with the introduction of Disneyland’s, Soundsational parade.  Have a listen to this drumming infused Mouse Lounge remix! Then, we head over to Epcot where even the street sweepers must take a break and form, the Jamitors. We’ll close the show with a pair of percussive tracks from Tarzan, first the original “Trashin’ the Camp” from the original soundtrack, then the rich harmony laced pop cover featuring Phil Collins and *Nsync.  Lastly, as a special bonus, a battle of the drummers between the Muppets, Animal, and Travis Barker as he guests with the Electric Mayhem on Jimmy Kimmel live performing Can You Picture That!

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) This week the Mouse Lounge goes again Behind the Mickey Bar, with Liana Kilgore and I disscusing the latest Disney News, including a surprise resignation! Next, a very special interview with former Mouseketeer, Jennifer McGill.  She was one of the few castmembers who was on the show all seven seasons in the 1990s!  Jennifer has released a new extended single on iTunes, a cover of her 1993 hit, Hanging On For Dear Life, and This Little Light, an original work co-composed with her producer, Jeff Savage.  Jennifer speaks candidly and fondly of her experience growing up a Mousketeer, and what has lead up to her new release.

Gary Chambers (805) 270-5785 The Mouse Lounge http://www.mouselounge.com

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) This week, the Mouse Lounge reveals the magic of melody in Disneyland! But first, we go Behind the Mickey Bar, as Liana and I talk about the new Cars Land, the just opened Jolly Holiday Bakery, Castmember beards, Fastpass, and more. Next, a Mouse Lounge Special Feature:  The BBCs Russell Davis looks at how the archives have treated to the two faces of Walt Disney.  Uncle Walt, who brought laughter and pleasure to millions, and… the rather tough businessman and social engineer.  Enjoy the second of a five part series, Double Disney.   Then, from the Disney Archives:  Based on the Oscar winning cartoon, “Toot Whistle Plunk and Boom” comes a marvelous record narrated by the unmistakable Thurl Ravenscroft.  From the 1963 Disneyland Record DQ-1232, have a listen to “A Child’s Introduction to the Instruments of the Orchestra”.  Don’t let the title fool you; this record was lavishly produced.  It’s hard to believe this mini masterpiece landed in the kiddy records bin.   Then, from Vault Disney:  We focus on the music of two Silly Symphonies from the thirties.  The first is “Music Land” from 1935 and “The Woodland Café” from 1937.  Both are perfect examples of the use of music to further the narrative, and are just great fun to listen to.  I’ll provide a description of the of the plot for Music Land, so you can better follow along.   Each show we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West.  Did you know that Disneyland boasts ten different live performance groups that play in all four corners of the park?  This episode, you’ll get to hear from every one of them!  You’ll hear, the Main Street Piano Player, The Dapper Dans,  Hook and Ladder Company, the Straw Hatters, Billy Hill and the Hillbillies, Farley the Fiddler, The Bootstrappers, The Jambalaya Jazz Band, The Royal Street Bachelors,  and The Pearly Band.  Plus, you’ll hear special performances recorded on Fat Tuesday of the New Orleans Jazz Band, The Bayou Bash featuring Princess Tiana, and the Disneyland Band performing it’s full noontime concert with the theme, “Sunday in the Park”.    Gary Chambers (805) 270-5785 The Mouse Lounge http://www.mouselounge.com Subscribe to our write a review about the Mouse Lounge Podcast: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=180696323  

This week, the Mouse Lounge goes from Jungle to Jungle!  First, Liana and I go Behind the Mickey Bar to discuss Jungle Book, the film then we chat about the Jungle Cruise, the attraction.  Then, from BBC Radio, Phil Jupitus gets down to the Bare Necessities with the last of his five part series on the work of Walt Disney, in Disnified.  Next, in From the Vault: Most fans of Disney animated features have seen the Jungle Book and remember how it ends, with Baghera and Baloo the Bear dancing into the sunset.  But!  On Disneyland’s Little Long Playing record, “More Jungle Book” your story reader, Robie Lester tells you the epilogue of the story.   The Jungle Book just wouldn’t be the favorite it has become without the songs that run throughout the film.  The Sherman Brothers talk about how Walt got them involved in the show and the songs they wrote… and the ones they didn’t!  Most fans can’t imagine Jungle Book, or for that matter The Aristocats or Robin Hood without the remarkable, indelible voice of Phil Harris.  Learn about this bandleader, comedian, radio and film star in this Mouse Lounge Mini Documentary.  Each show we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West.    Enjoy this experience down the rivers of the world in the Magic Kingdom’s Jungle Cruise.  We close the show, first with a rare duet.  From Disney’s Wonderful World of Color 25th Anniversary special, Phil Harris is joined by Scatman Caruthers for a medley only this duo could sing.  We wrap things up with Harry Connick Jr.’s  swingin’ arrangement of the Bare Necessities.

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) This week, the Mouse Lounge plunges into the briar patch! First, Liana and I go Behind the Mickey Bar and discuss the film and the controversy that surrounds it.  Be sure to login to the Mouse Lounge Blog at mouselounge.com and read my piece about the issue. Next, we go in to the Disney Vault.  Song of the South hasn’t been on the big screen in over 25 years, and has never been released on home video in the U.S.  As a result, an entire generation has never seen Disney’s take on the Joel Chandler Harris stories and the exquisite performance of James Baskett, who utterly inhabited the role of Uncle Remus.   We first dust off a delightful 1946 five-minute promo of the film featuring composer Johnny Mercer, Walt Disney, and the… uh… unflappable… Donald Duck. Then I’ll tell you the tale of Song of the South with clips from the original film.  It certainly doesn’t replace watching it, but if you’ve loved Splash Mountain for more than two decades but still don’t necessarily understand the narrative, this should help a lot! Then, go behind the curtain and learn what it took to bring Song of the South to the Silver Screen.  Each show we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West.  Enjoy a ride through down Chickapin Hill into the Briar Patch on Splash Mountain in the Magic Kingdom. We close the show with popular music covers from the picture.  First, Satchmo himself brings his unique style to Zip-a-dee-doo-dah.  Not to be out done, listen to Rosemary Clooney with her rendition of Everybody Has a Laughing Place!  Next, Walt Disney and Johnny Mercer introducing June Hutton of the Pied Pipers who performs, Sooner or Later.  We’ll wrap up the show with Uncle Remus himself performing, Uncle Remus Says.

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) This week, the Mouse Lounge explores what its like to have very little brain, which honestly isn’t all that different from most days. Before we delve into this episode’s theme of stuff n fluff, we take in part two of three of a very special feature.  Back in 2006, yours truly sat in on a Walt Disney World Audition Workshop.  It was an intense couple of hours of enthusiastic performers needing a reality check and casting directors there to provide it, all in the spirit of better preparing those auditioning so they could earn one of the coveted performing spots.  Whether you’re a performer a not, enjoy an inside glimpse at what it takes to audition for Walt Disney World. In From the Vault we sample a clip from a classic Disney film, short, television or radio program, or Disneyland Record.  Before Disney made their now classic films, several audio interpretations of the Pooh stories were made.  Some thirty years after the book’s initial publication, RCA’s Little Nipper series released an Upside Down record, which had a story on each side.  We feature here, Winnie the Pooh and the Heffalump, narrated by Jimmy Stewart.  Be sure to go to the Mouse Lounge multimedia page to listen to the flip side of the record, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. Next, from the Disney DVD, the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, have a listen to a brief history of Winnie the Pooh. Next, sidle up to the Mickey Bar, as Liana and I fling a little Pooh of our own.  I even sing a few bars.  Don’t be scared. Meet Paul Winchell.   Listen to the voice of Tigger tell his story in this wonderful interview with BBC Scotland in 2004, just a year before Paul passed away.   From the Disneyland Attraction Archives:  In 2005, Disney released the comprehensive, Musical History of Disneyland.  Among the tracks are two absolute gems I’ll play for you here:  The queue music, When the Rain Rain Rain came Down Down Down, and the attraction music itself, without most of the character vocal tracks and sound effects.   Each show we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West.   This week we serve up both versions of Pooh, from Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom, where many of you think the attraction truly belongs, and back to the West coast in Critter Country.  Listen to the subtle differences between the two.  Which do you prefer, and why?  Be sure to comment on the podcast page on the Mouse Lounge website. We close the show with a duo of Pooh Tracks!  First, from the Walt Disney Records archive collection, the Chieftains perform the title track, Winnie the Pooh.  Then, while not really a Disney tune per se, its hard to separate Winnie the Pooh from one of Kenny Loggins most memorable performances, The Return to Pooh Corner.

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) This week, the Mouse Lounge gets glittered and gowned with the Disney Princesses!   In “Behind the Mickey Bar”, Liana and I sit down and discuss the phenomenon that is the Disney Princess franchise.   In From the Vault we sample a clip from a classic Disney film, short, television or radio program, or Disneyland Record.   From April 1946, during the first re-release to theaters of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, we hear a radio dramatization of the film, with many from the original cast.  This is truly a brilliant time capsule of post war in home entertainment with a wonderful performance by the still very young Adriana Casselotti as Snow White.   From the Walt Disney Archives:  Let’s go back in time and back again, and hear for ourselves the difference sixty years can make as we listen to “Someday My Prince Will Come” from Cinderella and the Seven Dwarfs, and “Almost There” from The Princess and the Frog.  Two princesses, two very different ways of living.   Each show we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West.   This week travel through a land of enchantment and stilted narration no teenager could ever do justice on the Storybookland Canal Boats.   We close the show with a pair of unexpected Princess tracks.  The first is If You Can Dream, the first song that was originally written and recorded specifically for the Disney Princess franchise.  It was first released on the album Disney Princess: The Ultimate Song Collection.   The song is sung from the point of view of the first eight official Disney Princesses (though only seven of them actually sing). It has been featured on several Disney music CDs, and its music video is present on nearly every Disney Princess DVD, as either an extra or a Sing-Along, and has been shown numerous times on the Disney Channel. To this day the song still plays on the official Disney Princess website.   Finally, the incomparable Pogo, best known for spinning creative melodies of his own sampling Disney films, has released a new track with the Disney Princesses.  Here now, listen to Bloom… and be sure to log into the multimedia section of Mouselounge.com to watch the extraordinary video!
