We thought that since we’re missing our Happy Place SOOOO MUCH, we’d share some attraction audio with y’all! That’s right, we pulled the audio from some of our favorite videos we shot at Disneyland and plopped them right into this episode. Well, that and one from ancient times…long before I (Al) ever visited Disneyland.

We LOVE the sounds of Disneyland! On this episode, we share some of our favorites. First up, the BEST sound you can hear: the opening of Disneyland for the day! Then a couple that will make you laugh, and laugh, and laugh some more – our good friend Kenny met us at Disneyland one visit and he rode California Screamin’ (and yes, he DID scream!) and the Hollywood Tower Of Terror (and yes, he DID scream!). And some audio from Star Tours and the entire Captain EO show! FUN!!

We’re off to meet our brand new grandson so we’ll be on the road this weekend and we didn’t want our awesome Disney friends to go without a Disneyland fix!

So, on this fun episode, we relive a couple of our favorite attraction reviews and a couple of our favorite food reviews, then have some fun with…BLOOPERS! It may be hard to believe, but even WE make some audio stumbles from time to time, so we’ve compiled about 5 minutes of our favorite.

You know, for the stuff that just can’t wait for a full Tales From The Mouse House episode!

We’ll include some cool interviews and other Disney audio clips that we think are just WAYYY too important to wait for our full-length show, AND…may even throw in a contest from time to time (hint…there’s one in this episode!)

Right off the top, we want to apologize because this episode is not our usual format – we kind of flew here and there because we had so much to tell you about our recent visit to the Disneyland Resort, and the D23 Destination D event! One word: AMAZING.

In Episode 8, Joyce and I discuss the unusual trip and visit to our Happiest Place On Earth, an unexpected visit to a chiropractor; a record breaking heat wave and dragon flies made for a…unique visit! We also give you an overview of the D23 event and some updates on Star Tours 2.0 and the highly anticipated ElecTronica event launching at Disney’s California Adventure this month.

So, if this episode seems a little, well, distracted (we both kind of talk about EVERYTHING), that’s because we had a LOT to cover.  This 35,000 foot overview of our most recent trip gives you the basics, we’ll delve deeper into things on subsequent shows.

We’ll have some special video podcasts up soon, covering the D23 Event, the Walking Tour Show Joyce and I recorded, more ride videos AND….the Happiest Haunts Tour video! YEAH!!
