Episode 46 Rob Talks Behind the Scenes Disney Stuff, part 2 In this continuation of Episode 45 (the previous week), Tricia asks Rob to share some of his real-life  stories that illustrate the values from a book introduced in Episode 45, Creating Magic. 10 Common Sense Leadership Strategies from a Life at Disney, by Lee Cockerell. She several of the strategies and invites Rob to tell some stories from his personal experience as a Walt Disney World Cast Member for nearly two decades..  (She also expresses joy over the fact that Rob is finally getting a haircut—after months of “pandemic growth!”) For each value Tricia shares from the book, Rob shares how the Cast of Walt Disney World lives those values out in real life—including a story or two about Walt Disney himself and the values he wanted the Disney parks to demonstrate every day. The stories Rob shares from his 20 years of filling various roles at Walt Disney World are all real life experiences of how the Cast works very hard to fulfill the values of Mr. Disney.  They are tasked with  “making the magic happen,” and their company supports them as they serve the guests well—and sometimes even surprise them with Disney magic! Caution: you might just get a little choked up in this episode, just as Rob does as he tells these wonderful stories of making “Disney Magic” happen for children. Consider yourself warned!

Walt Disney World theme parks have been closed for three months now. Their reopening plans are in place. It will still take awhile to get back to 100% normal. But that light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer and closer. And other theme parks in Orlando have started to reopen. But alas, as someone who does not live in Orlando I have been unable to visit these places. Yet, thanks to the power of the glorious internet I have been able to follow along and live vicariously as others have forged a path into these other theme parks as they reopen. One individual I keep turning to whenever he launches a new video, is joining us today. We’re going to talk about his experiences in these reopened theme parks and I can’t wait to hear from him. He is Vincent from VincentVision and I’m very happy to have him on the show.

We continue to dive into fellow Philadelphia podcasts and podcasters as we celebrate the upcoming 6th annual Philadelphia Podcast Festival! After a two year absence, Tripp and Andrew from Dissecting the 80s return to the show! We talk about their upcoming live show, centered on Roger Rabbit, movies in general, and their podcast! ABOUT 'DISSECTING THE 80S' Tripp and Andrew Laino have been watching movies together since 1992, and making fun of them together since 1999, when an ill-fated afternoon of babysitting turned into 8 straight hours of cheesy science fiction, popcorn and jokes. Raised on a strict diet of 80s adventure, action, comedy and drama, the pair have an undying love for the 1980s and all of the weird, wonderful cinema therein. Since 2014, they’ve hosted this podcast – every other week they dissect a movie (or sometimes a TV show), finding plot holes, bad lighting and acting choices and the bizarre cinema quirks of 30-odd years ago (Smoking in hospitals! Rubber suits without neck hinges! Corey Feldman!). ABOUT TRIPP LAINO Tripp Laino is a writer who lives in Baltimore. When not working in the corporate world, he freelances for a number of publications, mostly writing about food. He threatens to fire Andrew roughly twice a week, but so far has not chosen to do so. He’s also in charge of making sure the show actually appears on a fortnightly basis, unlike his partner, who mostly just shows up and rides his coattails. Favorite 80s icons include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and the guy who did the really fast talking at the end of G.I. Joe commercials. ABOUT ANDREW LAINO Andrew Laino is a professional actor and costume designer in the Philadelphia area. Some of his favorite performances include Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Matt in Mother Tongue, and Neleus/Featured Dancer in Mary Poppins. He is also the resident costume designer for SALT Performing Arts in Yellow Springs. A former Walt Disney World Cast Member at the Rock n’ Roller Coaster, Andrew will bend your ear for hours if you’re foolish enough to bring up Disney Parks. Favorite 80s icons include Bea Arthur, Cyndi Lauper, Jem, and Gremlins. Throwing Gremlins at the end makes it sound less gay, right, Tripp? You can just take out that last sentence and this one when you post it. ABOUT THE 2018 PHILADELPHIA PODCAST FESTIVAL Since 2013, The Philadelphia Podcast Festival has sought to entertain and educate using the digital medium of podcasting. From June 22-July 1, 2018, more than 40 live podcast recordings will be happening at six venues throughout Philadelphia.

On this week’s Friday with Friends listener interaction show, we place a Mouse Call to one of our listeners and loyal All About the Mouseketeers. Justin, a former Walt Disney World Cast Member, will talk with us about his favorite moments in the parks, his fond memories of Pleasure Island, why the Share a Dream Come True Parade holds a special place in his heart, and much more!

This week we are honored to have former Walt Disney World Cast Member and Elvis tribute artist Peter Alden in the Tiki Hut.
