One of the most iconic influencers in modern history is Walt Disney. The man was a legend who saw the future in a completely different way than anyone else.  Yet, as a guest, Chad Emerson, President, and CEO of Huntsville Incorporated and author of Project Future: The Inside Story Behind the Creation of Disney World, explains in this episode, why Disney viewed the world through a unique lens, his mission was to help people create memories.  Such was the inspiration behind Project Future, the code name for Florida Project. Even though Walt's original goal for what we now know as Epcot hasn't come to fruition, this hasn't deterred the impact of his instinct as evidenced by the millions who visit his attractions every year. Even in this pandemic era, people want to document everything and see the world for what it could be.  And it's this mentality, even in the diluted Tomorrowland we know, that keeps Disney's legacy alive and well.  Connect with Dan: www.dancockerell.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dancockerell/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dancockerell/ Facebook - www.facebook.com/dancockerellspeaker

In the latest instalment of the Recruitment Leadership Podcast, your host Alison Humphries is joined by Rob Kerr, the Author of Project Future: 6 Steps to Success as Your Own Boss.   Rob currently works closely with leaders delivering M&A integration to enable teams to succeed and businesses to solve more problems that matter. Prior to this, he was a Project Manager for over a decade, which led him to set up his own business in 2014 to improve his own work and family life.    Now Rob shares his approach with aspiring entrepreneurs, contractors, and freelancers, supporting them through these critical decisions and showing them how to flourish on their own unique journey.    In this insightful episode, Alison and Rob discuss their predictions about the future of recruitment and explore some blue sky options both in terms of what will happen to the working world and what might be happening to your career in the time of COVID.   Timestamped Guide:    0:46 - Introduction   1:31 - Tell me why you felt that the world needed both a consultant in this field and your book, Project Future?    3:46 - What are the most common errors that you've observed that people make when they are considering setting up a business?   6:10 - There's an awful lot more to running a successful recruitment business than there is to just be a good recruiter. Some people learn that the hard way, is that something you've observed?   8:59 - Are there any general pointers you'd give people in terms of what kind of research they should be doing?   10:27 - In your book, I know you've got an acronym for a preparatory framework, 'SORTED', can you talk the audience through that?   18:03 - Infrastructure, company policies and preparation   21:37 - Making the distinction between those who want to build a business and those who want to build a lifestyle choice   24:04 - The amount of effort and commitment upfront to build a genuine business before you actually see any financial reward for it is often underestimated, isn't it?   26:33 - Do you have any advice for people starting a business their own?   29:28 - So Rob, if people want to buy your book and I do thoroughly recommend it, it's really good but easy read, where should they go?   If you have any questions, queries or comments, please contact Alison Humphries: alison@recruitmentleadership.co.uk   Connect with Rob Kerr on LinkedIn.   

Here in Episode 15, I speak with author, leadership and life coach, Sue Belton. After giving birth to her daughter, Sue realised she wanted something different from life and took redundancy from her successful media career. Sue saw value in a coaching session she received from Judy Rich, and then went on to learn more about coaching and started her own business. Sue explains: - How she shifted her mindset from that of an employee to an entrepreneur - How she hustled for clients in a variety of scenarios - The key connections to make before starting your business - Reasons why you shouldn't set up a business - How she's adjusted her offering since Covid Sue's best advice is to get a complete handle on what your fears, limiting beliefs and any self-belief issues are. Sue is also a contributor to my book, Project Future. Enjoy!

Here in Episode 14, I speak with an inspirational young entrepreneur, Sam Halligan. Sam's passion for cars was ignited when aged 17 he exported two Cinquecento's from Italy. This led to founding Samuel Lloyd & Co where he matches worldwide petrolheads with Land Rovers and European classics. He is now embarking on a mission to revolutionise the way collector cars are transacted globally, alongside fundraising for the charity ‘Cool Earth'. Like Episode 11 with Sam's mum Elaine, this episode is made up of two conversations, recorded a year apart in December 2019 and December 2020. A huge amount changed for Sam during the year, but by listening closely to the first part you'll hear the acorns were there long before Covid. Sam explains: - how he realised entrepreneurship was for him - how he's explored things he's passionate about - how he's found solutions to problems his customers have Sam's best advice is to start with something you know well, you're passionate about and to have belief you'll make it happen. Sam is also a contributor to my book, Project Future. Enjoy!

For Disney World expert Chad Denver Emerson, the Walt Disney World Resort is more than entertainment. It's one of his greatest passions. Chad is the author of multiple books on Disney World, including Project Future: The Inside Story Behind the Creation of Disney World. He's also an expert on city and urban planning, which makes him uniquely qualified to answer the question: Does the Walt Disney World Resort live up to the highest ideals of Walt's vision for a City of Tomorrow?

As Walt Disney sets out to build a second theme park in Florida, he quietly works to keep the top secret project out of the public eye. To make his dream a reality, and to keep Project Future under wraps, Walt will rely on a close-knit team of lawyers, executives, and former World War Two spies. This is the first in our four-episode series on Walt's efforts to create a second theme park that would correct the errors of his first.

With the help of a former World War Two spy named Paul Helliwell, Walt Disney fights to keep Project Future out of the papers as he navigates a local labyrinth of closed door deals, nosy politicians and intrepid reporters. But Walt's biggest secret isn't Project Future—it's a private battle he's fighting with his own body.

Here in Episode 8, I tell the story of my first book, Project Future: 6 Steps to Success as Your Own Boss. I explain what the book is about and who it's for, then why I had a passion to write the book and why it was the right concept for me – even though it wasn't my first idea. I go on to state what I've learned through the process, and how bringing others into the journey has been key to aiming higher, before talking about what's next for me, and the postive actions you can take as a result of the book. Enjoy!

As a project manager, Rob Kerr was accustomed to evaluating options and allocating scarce resources for maximum impact. The magic happened, however, when he started taking those tools out of the office and applying them to life: 'We were making better decisions as a family. We were being a bit bolder with our choices... I thought, okay, this is working for us.' So Rob brought together his framework for bringing project management into real life and united it with his passion for entrepreneurship to create Project Future, a tool to help would-be entrepreneurs evaluate their options and set up a successful business.  Along the way he learned a huge amount about writing, collaboration, illustration, and overcoming his fear of appearing on video... 

Listen in to this week's episode as your host, Joanna Rawbone, is joined by special guest Rob Kerr. By his own admission, Rob had a number of false starts in his career before he found his true path. Rob shares his journey from an unsatisfactory university experience through to a successful career as a project manager which he has now utilised as the author of ‘Project Future: Six steps to success as your own boss'.  Knowing his introvert type proved invaluable and armed with this understanding, Rob shares how he is now flourishing.

In this short episode, I introduce - who the podcast is for - why I've decided to create it - who I interview - why this decade offers a unique opportunity to start a business - then finally, a bit of background on me

In this week's episode Lucinda is joined by Rob Kerr, the author of the forthcoming book, 'Project Future: 6 Steps to Success as Your Own Boss'. Discussing how to have the confidence to shape your future, Rob talks us through the number of practical models the book contains, and how they can positively impact your existing career, or energise a new direction. Furthermore, how all change begins by instilling a sense of confidence within ourselves. KEY TAKEAWAYS The main impact of COVID is that businesses are now working with a wide range of unknowns. Indeed, changes planned for the future are suddenly being rapidly adopted and fast-tracked. When considering the place in the world that your business will occupy, there are things to consider: Examine your openness to change, your mind-set in this field, and a self-evaluation of your career to date. Look at the “impact factor”, the effects that will be felt by those dependent on you both financially and emotionally, such as family or other dependants. Certainly, if we wish to think about starting our own independent HR careers now, we must consider the problems we wish to solve, who we are solving them for, and why you are the person to do it. Laying solid foundations, recognising our areas of expertise, and developing in our current roles whenever possible, will allow us, at any stage in our careers, to shape our own futures and build a better destiny for ourselves.  BEST MOMENTS 'The main issue that HR professionals say is holding them back is a lack of confidence' 'Small steps and improvements are what help us to grow, more than any kind of radical shift' ‘I'm a big believer that change brings opportunity' ‘Being clear on what you want to do, will help convince somebody to say yes'  VALUABLE RESOURCES Host of The HR Uprising Podcast, Lucinda Carney, is also the founder and CEO of Actus Software, where you can find additional free HR Resources: https://actus.co.uk/free-performance-management-resources/ The HR Uprising Podcast | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher   The HR Uprising LinkedIn Group Change Superhero Resources Book: How To Be A Change Superhero - by Lucinda Carney Free Change Toolkit: www.changesuperhero.com Latest Performance Management Blog   ABOUT THE GUEST   Rob Kerr is a crackerjack at asking questions.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0325, And It Will Be About Construction Company Marketing - Leads, Customers, And Clients It takes work to make the phone ring. It takes even more work to increase the sales ticket. Customers are looking for a contractor to do a little work. If you offer three options, do you find customers usually choose the middle option?    When trying someone new, they may go with a "Low Risk" by prepaying for services on a "Deal" on a contractor lead generation service. The deal allows them to set a "budget." It allows them to try you out before mentioning any additional details. Have you ever heard anything like this from a prospect: "Hello Contractor, I had nothing better to do this week, so I filled out your form and called you on the phone to ask you come to my house and while I act your tour guide because I am thinking of having some work done."? Not likely.   Most homeowners have a real need before asking for a stranger to come to their home. They are looking for any "Affinity" that makes you a safe choice. This is why people are on the Social Media sites looking for "A Friend" or "A Friend of a Friend" anything to get a primary connection; an opinion from someone else before inviting you into their home.   What They Are Thinking - "Contractor, You Are Here Because I Need The Following":   Type 1 Project - Immediate:  Work That Must Be Done   Type 2 Project - Soon:  Work I Should Have Done   Type 3 Project - Future:  Work I Want To Have Done   You are there looking for an opportunity to meet the right stable customer who is looking to become a good solid client. You know you have a client instead of a customer when they ask you about a Type 2 or Type 3 items on their list. Don't be afraid to bring out the estimate, change order form, or invoice. In most cases, they want you to write up the order, and if you do not get the paperwork started early, they often think you are rejecting them.   One of your greatest fears is wasting money on a less than good lead:    I have heard contractors think that on more substantial projects homeowners are "Just Getting Free Ideas" for someday when looking for a massive remodel, new deck or patio when the SCOPE of the project keeps expanding and the budget is shrinking. As a general rule, those are the exception. Consider charging a design fee.   They may or may not have any real desire for services. Sometimes a person is committed to collecting three bids when they already have someone picked out to do the work. They may be looking for a "temporary friend" to do them a favor or in some cases by the time you have completed the form they have changed their mind and no longer want service. This is often the case when one spouse or partner wants the work done, and the other one doesn't.   Do-It-Yourself Leads:    Anytime someone who fills out any website form you simply look at the information with a positive attitude. You are trying to understand does this person have a real need? Do they have a "Compelling Reason" a must-have or is it merely a whim, spur of the moment window shopping?   Your best course of action could be to begin thinking and planning about how you can adjust the schedule to fit their project in place — mentally gearing up on how you can provide the best possible service to that client. That means "A Client" not just "A Customer"; someone who is in the top 20% of the 80/20 Rule.   Marketing Service Leads:   Many Marketing Services assist in fine-tuning, changing, or updating your existing website to increase your search engine optimization (SEO) for more leads on your website. These marketing companies may have a web-based or desktop module for estimating, scheduling, or project management software that links to your existing website. Some software will connect to QuickBooks for Contractors; however, in most cases, they do more harm than good. Others will suggest their software provides invoicing, job costing, scheduling, and financials and QuickBooks is not needed.     Professional Lead Generating Services:    Professional lead services with filters and multiple forms try to weed out bogus leads for you. In other words, a professional lead service that pre-screens prospects and charges a "lead generating" fee may work best for you.   Discount Coupon Services:    Several companies offer this service. With the help of a sales representative you can determine the best "Deal" to extend your prospective customers to purchase online. Usually, these types of contractor lead-generation services deduct their fees and send the contractor the balance that is left over.   The benefit to contractors is a "Guaranteed Sale" usually at a "Fixed Price" for a predetermined "Scope of Work." Depending on the agreement between the contractor and the lead generation service, there could be opportunities for additional work. Be sure to keep some change order forms handy in case you need them. We have some FREE Change Order Templates you can download by clicking here. Also, if you need it, we have FREE Invoice templates you can download by clicking here.   Please note in most cases it is up to the contractor to invoice and collect for any services that exceed the amount covered in the "Discount Coupon" for services. It is okay if you want to do as much as possible in the shortest space of time to save the customer from exceeding the cost of the initial Coupon Deal. However, it is a shame not to fix everything while you are onsite because "Work Time" generally pays better than "Windshield Time."    There are several opportunities to add value with the intangibles: your warm and friendly personality, by asking the right questions you can demonstrate knowledge and skill which can often lead to increased sales.   Sales Tax Still Applies:    In most states and especially in Washington State, sales tax is due on the original purchase price of the "Deal" or "Coupon" or whatever term is used before deducting any lead generation fees.    The sales tax issue usually is not clearly understood or documented in the coupon details. Sometimes contractors and customers assume since the purchase was made online that sales tax does not apply. In a sales tax audit, the contractor is most likely to suffer massive fines and penalties which could destroy your construction company and everything you own. Again consult with your construction accountant.   Print Media:  Flyers and direct mail still works even in the age of "Everything Internet" we all receive a certain number of brochures and direct mail pieces coming to our home and business. One of the advantages is that these pieces are easy to find (we all have a particular spot for them) before they get moved and saved, filed, passed on to someone else, or eventually tossed away.    There is a marketing tool many of our contractor clients have used very effectively, which we call "Contractors Six Pack Marketing Tool," and it is totally Do-It-Yourself.  Conclusion: What Is The Focus Of Your Construction Company?   Residential or Commercial?  Do you like dealing with the Homeowners, Landlords, or Property Management Companies? Alternatively, are you a General Contractor or Specialty Trade Contractor? Do you enjoy new construction, commercial tenant improvements (T.I.'s), apartments, condominiums, Co-ops, remodels or service and repair? Marketing is all about doing something.   Are you reading the fine print? Are you locked into a long term contract? Are you in control? Can you make changes in location? Can you make changes to the business type? Can you Turn On or Turn Off your lead services? Finally, take a few minutes to think and talk to other contractors.   We provide "Above The Line" consulting, coaching, operational assistance in processes that are designed to help you grow. We help a little or a lot depending on your needs.

Back to the old school and done the old school way (All vinyl, two turntables and a mixer). This mix showcases a different aspect of the sounds I like - soul and a bit of disco funk. It's more about the journey and selection here; not claiming to break the ultra rare and elusive, although you certainly won't find a couple of these easily and/or without paying good money for it. :) The mix is roughly the set I played for the Beat Swap Meet in Los Angeles on September 15, 2013; roughly because I recorded this after and not when I played and because I can't be certain that the tracks in this particular set are identical to the Beat Swap Meet set. The track listing is as follows: 1. Atmosfear "Xtra Special" (Dry mix) [Elite Records Ltd., 1982] 2. The Cool Notes "Spend the Night" [Abstract Records, 1985] 3. Patrice Rushen "Feels So Real (Won't Let Go)" [Elektra, 1984] 4. Gladys Knight & the Pips "Save the Overtime (For Me)" [Columbia, 1983] 5. Whodini "Five Minutes of Funk" [Jive, 1984] 6. I Level "Give Me" [Epic/Virgin, 1982] 7. Gwen Guthrie "Should've Been You" [Island Records, 1982] 8. Project Future "Ray-Gun-Omics" [Capitol Records, 1983] 9. Love Unlimited Orchestra (presents Charles Webster) "Welcome Aboard" [Unlimited Gold Records, 1981] 10. Charles Earland "Intergalactic Love Song" [Mercury, 1976] 11. Bloodfire VIII "Bloodfire vs. Creative Source" [Bloodfire, 2011] 12. GQ "Someday" [Arista, 1980] Enjoy!

On our last episode of the WhimsiMagical Mousecast we left off with Walt Disney making the decision that Central Florida would become the home of his newest dream. But before the first children smiled, before the first ride was run, before the first of what would be millions of yards of dirt could be moved, before the 52 months of what would become in 1970 the largest private construction project in the United States and, of course before the very first Mickey Mouse Hat could be sold in the Magic Kingdom the land had to be acquired in a top secret manner befitting the CIA. Why all the secrecy, you may ask? Well, had anyone found out that it was Walt Disney and the Disney Company that was interested in buying land for what was to become, Walt Disney World the land prices would have skyrocketed so high, we would be trudging through swamps and watching cattle graze on the same land we now enjoy as “The Happiest Place on Earth”. There were secret trips researching the best place to build the City Of Tomorrow and The Magic Kingdom. Land deals taking place with multiple owners and companies such as Latin-American Development and Management Corporation, Reedy Creek Ranch, Inc., Bay Lake Properties, Ayefour Corporation and Tomahawk Properties, Inc. buying up massive quantities of land the acquisition of underground mineral rights, land successions, and many other legal challenges that had to be conquered to construct something, and believe me it wasn’t too long before the public and the local news organization were asking what? In a situation that surely had Disney executives pacing the floor reporters were complicating things by speculating on who was behind the acquisitions of the options and what would ultimately come of them. To quell the rumors, at least temporarily, Paul Helliwell, a Miami Lawyer who was instrumental in ultimately helping the Disney Company in acquiring the land, was sent to speak with Billy Dial, an Orlando Banker and businessman on the growing potential of information being leaked. Dial, in turn, suggested that he speak with Martin Anderson, who was then publisher of the Orlando Sentinel. Fortunately for Disney, Mr. Anderson made a critical decision to meet with and tell his reporters and editors not to publish the true identity of the owners of the “dummy” corporations that had been acquiring all of the lad options even if the discovered it. This was the break Disney needed to finish several major purchases before the news came out. Amazingly, by June of 1965 the Disney company, through it’s various “front or dummy” corporations had acquired the actual title or options to purchase twenty-seven thousand acres of land, that’s roughly forty-three square miles of land for a little more than five million dollars, in other words for an average of under two-hundred dollars per acre. Incredible! Although some other parcels of land were purchased after the news was released that it was indeed the Disney Company that was purchasing the land, they as expected had to pay premium prices for the remaining land. No with all of the cloak and dagger secrecy and manipulation of circumstances that were involved in actually obtaining the land, you would think that the hard part was over. But as everyone involved on the inside of the Disney Company knew since the beginning of this project, this was just the beginning of lots of planning, legislation to be created and adopted, hard work, millions of dollars in investment, sleepless nights and unforeseen challenges such as the loss of their visionary leader that had brought everyone to this point. Yes, this was just the beginning and even though many of them had gone through the similar challenge of the creation of Disneyland, this was something new, something fresh and something that would come to change the future of what a theme park was considered to be…More than a destination, more than an experience, and more than just a resort. Walt and Roy Disney and the other visionaries that followed them and worked with them had turned the Amusement Park industry on it’s ear in past years and set a standard that many other companies were still racing to catch up with and now just 10 years later they were at it again. This time creating something that the world had never seen. The future, here in the present, attractions that would astound generations of the young and young at heart. Creating a world where one could fully immerse themselves in a world of magic where anything was possible, where you could forget the cares of the outside world for at least a time, a  world that has never stopped growing, expanding, enchanting us with what imagination, ingenuity, and innovation can accomplish.  In the summer of 1965, the world was wide open for Disney and as they looked forward towards the coming years in anticipation of the fruition of Walt’s dream, magic was indeed in the air and despite the challenges that everyone knew would come, Walt’s words reflected the mood of those who would come to create the most magical place on earth…It’s Kinda Fun To Do The Impossible!     Now with that we whish ourselves forward it time to the Modern Day World as we talk about what’s currently going on at Walt Disney World: We’ve felt the cold of winter in January and February, experienced spring in all of it’s blooming splendor, and a spectacular summer. We have now arrived here in August with the last days of summer winding down. Children are returning to school and we are trying to squeeze in as many beach weekends as we can before the cooler winds of autumn and changing color of the leaves sweep in to our lives and bring us ever closer to the holiday season. But…Santa Claus isn’t coming to town quite yet and Jack Skellington is just starting to get ready for his yearly run…. That’s right October, and for that matter Halloween is right around the corner. It has always also been my favorite time of the year to visit Walt Disney World. Now visiting the world while children are back in school can be a challenge, but if you are fortunate enough for your children to have a fall break in October (as we are here in Louisiana) and you can time it just right with the weekend previous to it, you can squeeze in a 4 to 5 day trip to the house of the mouse with your children missing very little or no school at all. Granted in takes planning, patience and persistence but it can also be a very rewarding time to visit in terms of lower attendance and crowds the earlier in the month that you can go. As far as it being “off season” well as any true Disney fan knows these days, there is no “off season”. There are just times that you may be able to navigate the parks with lower attendance that in the summer months or directly around holidays. That being said, October is still my favorite time to visit as it is a bit cooler in October and it still seems that things are not as “rushed” and move, at albeit, a little slower pace. It seems like you can take the time to enjoy a nice stroll, savor the view or just take in the atmosphere and environment in what I still consider a magical place. We also cannot forget for us foodies and kids at heart that it is also the time of year that you can enjoy my personal favorite the International Food and Wine Festival which is now in it’s 18th year with it’s Eat To The Beat Concert Series and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party during the same vacation. First things first, while I love the chance to sample cuisine and wines from around the world, I always relish the chance to not only watch my children enjoy Walt Disney World, but to only if for a time, be a kid again myself and what a better place to do it than to dress up in costume along with my family and enjoy the tricks and the treat of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Now it does require special tickets to attend this event and they are limited so you need to get them as soon as possible to ensure that they do not sell out on a night (or two) that you wish to attend. Now if you haven’t been to these special nights in years past you may question why you would want to pay for an additional ticket for each of your party to attend. Well much like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in late November and December, it gives you a chance to see the Magic Kingdom in a totally different light…literally! Each night of the party the Magic Kingdom is lit up in a delightfully “ghoulish” way and decorated to match the festivities. As I said earlier not only should you dress up but one of little pleasures of the night is seeing all of the great costumes that other guests are wearing. Disney does offer trick or treat candy stations around the Magic Kingdom for the little ones but this does take a bit of time to do when taking in to account for the line waiting times. So you may want to consider bring some candy with you for the younger ones and if you have older children or traveling without kids, you can spend the time enjoying the rides, activities, shows and parades going on throughout the evening. Time for a couple of tips – ·        On the night or nights that you will be attending MNSSHP, even though the party doesn’t officially start until 7:00PM you can arrive as early as 4:00PM to catch a couple of rides or enjoy something to eat until the festivities begin. ·        Bear in mind that the closer to Halloween night that the party starts seeing larger and larger crowds. If you can visit in the earlier part of October you will be able to take advantage of the lower attewndance levels to be able to see and do more while at the party. Typically  week nights/school nights are even slower nights (typically in my experience, Tuesdays are best in terms of lighter crowds) and on some of these nights you can just about walk onto some of your favorite rides (although at this time of year the Haunted Mansion does see normal to higher levels of riders so keep this in mind).  There’s more fun than you can shake a pumpkin at going on during the evening everywhere you turn including a stage show featuring your favorite Disney villains in front of what becomes a ghoulish version of Cinderella Castle and here’s another tip…want to meet some of the villains, hang out for a bit after the show as they spread out into the crowd to mix & mingle and spread some mischievous fun.  You can also enjoy Mickey’s “Boo-To-You” Halloween Parade but be careful not to lose your head as the Grandmaster of the parade is none other than the Headless Horseman. The parade is great fun and features all sorts of Disney characters in their own Halloween costumes… and of course, the grim grinning ghosts from the Haunted Mansion along with others will be stirring up lots of ghostly delights. But if you want to attend the party, be sure to get your tickets in advance as your favorite night could sell out, especially the closer to Halloween that you visit. For more information on Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Ticket prices, schedules and activities check out our show notes page for this episode for the links or you can call Walt Disney World direct at 407-939-5277 We mentioned earlier that the Magic Kingdom would be decorated for the occasion, and it is over the top as all of Main Street and the rest of the Magic Kingdom takes on a Halloween makeover with special lighting, decorations and lots of little surprises around every turn. What better way to end a special night than with a special fireworks show set to remixes of the Disney Villian’s theme songs. The Happy HalloWishes finale will have you remembering this happy nightmare for a long time to come. Back at EPCOT as I mentioned earlier The International Food and Wine Festival always makes this my favorite time of the year to visit Walt Disney World. Don’t get me wrong, I love sampling the various international food booths scattered across World Showcase and the wine samplings are always enjoyable as long as I keep a watchful eye on just how many I sample. But there are lots of seminars & demonstrations and other things to do, see, smell and taste. Some of these are free while others may require an additional fee and/or reservations to attend. Now this can be an expensive and time consuming proposition if you are determined to try everything while you are here. But for most of us who don’t have an unlimited budget, I have found that with a little advance planning you can research and decide what is a “must do” and what you can do without. Also you can use the envelope system to allot so much money per day to experience the great cuisine and activities that EPCOT has to offer during this time. Now one of the great free things to do at night at EPCOT during this time is the Eat To The Beat Concert Series. Enjoy a bite to eat and a drink while watching some of the great music acts from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s performing live at the America Gardens Theater right across from the American Adventure in World Showcase. For 2013 there are some great acts lined up and to give a quick run down of the acts that will be performing: STARSHIP starring Mickey Thomas Will be performing from September 27 to September 29, 2013  The Go-Go’s* From September 30 to October 1, 2013 Air Supply From October 2 to October 4, 2013 Sister Hazel From October 5 to October 6, 2013  Sugar Ray From October 7 to October 9, 2013  Edwin McCain* From October 10 to October 11, 2013  The Manhattan Transfer* From October 12 to October 13, 2013  Wilson Phillips* From October 14 to October 15, 2013 The Pointer Sisters From October 16 to October 17, 2013  Night Ranger From October 18 to October 20, 2013  Boyz II Men From October 21 to October 23, 2013 Survivor From October 24 to October 25, 2013  38 Special From October 26 to October 27, 2013 Smash Mouth From October 28 to October 30, 2013  Spin Doctors* From October 31 to November 1, 2013  Christopher Cross* From November 2 to November 3, 2013  Hanson From November 4 to November 5, 2013  Dennis DeYoung (original member of STYX) From November 6 to November 8, 2013   Big Bad Voodoo Daddy From November 9 to November 11, 2013   Want to brush up on your culinary arts or become the wine afficiando in your group of friends? Well you’re in luck. The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival also offers a variety of seminars and demonstrations that can take your skills to the next level. You can aquire the skill to prepare an amazing dish to ravish your friends eyes as well as their taste buds, spend some time learning about cheese from some of the foremost cheese merchants around the world and learn to mix one of a kind cocktails like a master mixologist for someone you really want to impress.   For some simply knowing what wine goes well with fish is enough, but if you really want to know about wine you can enroll in one of three courses offered over the course of the festival and be taught a little more about the art and skill that goes into great wine making by one of three expert instructors. But make no mistake, this is for those who are serious about wine. Discover the art of the grape. Of all the things that there are to do at the Food and Wine Festival, what attracts me and many others to EPCOT at this time of the year is the food. Food of all types from all over the globe. With over 25 unique market places you can choose from ethnic and domestic dishes to satiate just about any palate and to quench any thirst you develop, there a variety of liquid refreshments in the way of native wine and/or beers at each marketplace available for adults over the age of 21; and of course drinks for the younger ones as well. Just be sure as we said earlier to budget accordingly as refresments and foods from the marketplaces do come at an additional cost and are not included with your addmission to EPCOT. You know, visiting several countries in a day and sampling food and drink from multiple cultures can be tiring but save enough energy to finish out your day with the Illuminations: Reflections of Earth fireworks and multimedia display. Just be sure to get a good viewing spot early as all the best ones fill up fast.  I hope you've enjoyed this episode of the WhimsiMagical Mousecast be sure to catch our next show where we will continue with part 3 of our 4 part series on EPCOT from what is was to be to what it is today.
