Where should we send Bob next?

[WebmasterPete]

I'd love to hear some suggestions from you guys (and gals) about where we should send Bob for his next "Send Bob" segment? As always, if we use your suggestion, you'll get to 'pick a number' (no one has one the Cruise yet, by the way!!).

A full trip report on NASA Space Center

I am not sure anyone has done a report on this.

Also, please no one say send Bawb to hell in a handbasket. We love Bawb ! :lmao:

[lttlmc3]

Send Bob parasailing!!!!:thumbsup2

[NC Belle]

You should send Bob to Washington DC to do the Air & Space museum and its annex and then he can compare his Florida expriences to DC. It could be a "Bob Presidential Hopeful Campaign Tour". ;)


Okay, NC Beast wants him to do Everest.

[Cinderella89]

Send him to do Dive Quest or the Aqua Tour. :love:

[burberryplaid]

I assume if we post here and you use the idea, we'll still get credit?

Ok, I have a couple of ideas

1) This might actually be good for everyone in the Podcast Crew when you stay at the Grand Floridian perhaps, but I'd love it if you could schedule one of the Grand Floridian photo shoots and tell us all about it. The reports here on the boards aren't very detailed. If you all don't want to do it, perhaps Bob and Dianer and their family could do it

2) The Tampa Bay Rays are going to be at the Wide World of Sports in April - perhaps Bob could cover one of the games

3) Maybe he could cover Sham-Rock N Roll at Pleasure Island for St Patrick's Day

Just some ideas...hope you can use at least one! :)

[bcvdreamer]

Send him the Wonder to do a pre podcast cruise report!
G'head and spend some more cash, John won't mind! :)

Lisa

[cocowum]

What about the "Wonders of the Lodge" tour? At WL. This has been on our list for several years but we always run out of time.


ETA: Don't worry John, this one's free.;)

[Paul in CT]

Pete, I think that you should send Bob to do a report on the upcoming Flower and Garden Festival at EPCOT. He should pick a day having one of the better concerts. Baby boomer that he is, I'm sure he already has one picked out anyway. ;)

Later in the year, he could audition for the new American Idol attraction when it opens so that we can hear him sing on stage or he could just review it if he doesn't have the "pipes". :)

[DISNUT21]

I think that a great segment for Bob would be to experience all of the recreation and entertainment options on site at WDW. One week he could do the horseback riding at the FW, the next he could do the fishing, then perhaps bike rentals. These are things I've always wanted to do, and it's always good to educate everyone on the other options available to them onsite on days when people just dont have the energy to go to the parks.

[SSR DVC'er]

Pete, send Bawb to DisneyQuest and Cirque de Soleil (sp) I'd like to hear a review to see if they are worth a visit.

[*NikkiBell*]

I honestly think it is time for Bob to investigate Animal Kingdom Lodge's many activities. This resort is extremely popular right now due to its recently becoming DVC-worthy. As a new DVC member, I'd love to learn about all of the tours and freebie activities available especially those having to do with Jiko, Boma, and nightvision animal viewing.

While he's there, it'd be neat to hear about Kidani Village. This is going to be a MASSIVE section of the resort with a separate entrance, pool, new restaurant, etc. Could he snoop a bit for us?

My other idea was to have Bob get some information on the unfinished section of Pop Century. We've all seen the creepy videos on You Tube; now, let's hear an update from the one and only. ;)

[MenashaCorp]

Hey, Peter, YOU ASKED!!

Does anyone else remember the Larry "Bud" Melman segments on Late Night With David Letterman (NBC)???!?
I particularly remember the hilarity of Larry "Bud" interviewing people entering NY for the 1st time and offering them hot towels...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ7PMG8c2gI&eurl=http://www.thedailytube.com/video/330/welcome-to-new-york-city-have-a-hot-towel :) Click @ your own risk... You'll pee your pants...

Let's have Bawb ride Kaht Kam into WDW during Gay Days and record some DIS-TV interviews...

Now, I SO love Pete's stance on these Days: http://www.wdwinfo.com/disney-gay-days.htm (BTW - for anyone now hating me for whatever reason ... My DGf's sister is gay and we LOVE her and her S.O. sooo KMA. ;) )

This might be a welcome Bawb's-eye View into that "vile spectacle of self indulgence and indecency" (PLEASE read Pete's stance... it's SO literate, fair, and well-thought-out...)

I love making fun of people who take themselves WAYYYY too seriously.... (GALPP!!!)

[wildeoscar]

it would be short notice... but ESPN the weekend... i know there are some big names that are going to be there, i would have no clue who would be who... so Bawb could ask each of them, "in 10 years will people still have no idea who you are?"

[Harley-Mouse]

book bob on a wishes cruise and let us know how hard it is to get. Let us know what he thinks about it is it worth the cash??:thumbsup2

[Harley-Mouse]

Send bob tubbing and let us know how it is. I have heard of this and it sounds like fun.

[ADP]

Thanks for asking Pete! I have some suggestions:

Send Bawb to the Boardwalk and give us a report on all of the evening activities. There is free entertainment during the evenings from magicians, trick artists, etc. There is also venues such as Jellyrolls and the Atlantic Dance hall. A segment about the Boardwalk could be very enlightening to many listeners.

Send Bawb to Rafiki's Planet Watch at the Animal Kingdom and report what happens out there. Maybe give a description of the various areas and what Animal Kingdom Veterinarians are doing to help the animals.

Send Bawb to the Universal on-site hotels and have him report back on each hotel's club level lounges, club level rooms, and amenities. Which is the best for the money.

Send Bawb to Disney's Luau at the Polynesian (Spirit of Aloha) and then send him to the luau at Royal Pacific Resort (Wantilan Luau) and have him give us a comparison between the two. Which one is better and are they worth the time and money.

Since I've run Bawb all over the place and probably wore him out with all of these suggestions I'll stop thinking of ideas. :laughing:

[Regina]

If you send him some place, does it mean he has to come back??? ;)

[MenashaCorp]

[Tonya2426]

I'd like to see Bob cover the Expedition Everest Challenge, the Teddy Bear and Doll Weekend and the Disney Channel Games. Can you just imagine Bob trying to figure out which one Miley Cyrus is? :rotfl2:

[grizbuzz]

Send Bob to the Grand Floridian for a Swedish massage (he can pretend its french, if he wants to) and a gentleman's facial. I'd love to hear his report on a day at the spa. And frankly Bob deserves a bit of pampering for all he puts up with from everyone!

[daneenm]

How about looping around the property on Disney Transportation. Going from parks to hotels, hotels to hotels, etc.

This was one of our biggest questions before we visited and we heard such mixed reviews we were really nervous about relying on it. Turned out very well for us, i might add.

--Daneen

[UrsulasShadow]

Send Bob out for an IllumiNations Cruise on the Breathless II! Make sure Aaron is the Captain, and make sure it's on a night that the Studios close fairly early, so there's not as much boat traffic.

[Madi100]

I think you should send Bob on a Day of Magic. I just listened to last week's email show and the question regarding is the magic still there came up. I think Bob is the only one who still has that magic that so many of us brag about. Not to put down the rest of the crew. But, you guys all said it on the show that Bob is probably the only one left with that type of magic. So, I think you need to send Bob and Diana to the parks and have them share with us the magic. I think he needs to do each park, too. So maybe the segment could be four weeks long, or even just cover Magic Kingdom starting with going under the arch.

[GabbyMom]

Can you sent Bob to Aquatica?

Or maybe Corey and Julie for their couple things to do? :beach:

[WaltD4Me]

I think you should send Bob to the Imagineer Dinner at the Wilderness Lodge.
I would LOVE :love: to hear a report on this.

Or...probably too pricey, but send Bob on a day with a Disney VIP tour guide.
I have seen them with people around the parks sometimes and I've always wanted to know exactly what they do, what they can do and what requests and perks they can provide. Basically it seems like a cool thing and I'd love to hear exactly what happens when you have your own Disney VIP tour guide taking you around the World.

[NC Belle]

I have more suggestions for Bob.

Send him and his wife to DL and do some of the tours.

Send Bob to Gatorland.

Send Bob on an Adventures by Disney trip to Ireland.

Send Bob to do some tours in Busch Gardens Tampa.


Have Bob as a prize again with the winner have an all day park adventure.

[Pinky166]

I think we should send Bob to Animal Kingdom to do the Wild by Design tour, I think he would enjoy seeing how the imagineers created the park and it would be great to hear his review.

[Pinky166]

I got another one :thumbsup2

We should send Bob to Pleasure Island to review all the Clubs and nightlife..:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Ok maybe not Bob, but maybe Corey & Julie......it would be good to hear a review of the nightlife at Downtown Disney.

[Cruz Family]

I would love to learn more about the Adventurers Club.

[Pinky166]

Bob could review the Mini Golf courses - WinterSummerland, the one at the Swan/Dolphin (can't think of it's name) and any others that I don't know of....maybe even some of the one's nearby on I - Drive.

He could give information such as times, prices, difficulty rating, if booking is required, facilities and his views on each one/his favourite.

[magic2go]

How about Kennedy Space Center for a launch? We've been debating taking the kids and the differences between the ticket packages to watch the launch from the center, vs. the more expensive (and harder to get) ticket package to be transported from the center to the closer launch viewing site.

:happytv:

[magic2go]

Ooops, lost the text there somehow -

We're a bunch of big' ole' geeks here - so how about a review of Star Wars Weekends? The pictures of it look so fun, but crowded. Is this a must do for Star Wars fans?

:goodvibes

[neoDonald]

Give Bob an appointment at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. You know we all want to see it and his name is right there in the title. :goodvibes

[burberryplaid]

I thought of another one..this could be an ongoing segment

I'd love to have Bob go to see some of the entertainment groups around Disney: I.e. The Dapper Dans, Voices of Liberty, MoRockin, Off Kilter, British Invasion, and Yeeha Bob....maybe he could even try to interview some of them. :)

[mickeywatch33]

Okay, well, Corey recently did a pool segment and there has been references to Blizzard. I think we need to get Bawb out to a waterpark or a couple resort pools and continue the work Corey started!!!:rotfl:

[Dale-Not-Chip]

I Think it would be amusing to send Bob to the Pirate and Princess party. Especially Cart Cam.

[aGoofyMom]

There are a lot of good suggestions here. I would like to second the ideas for Teddy Bear & Doll weekend and Flower and Garden. I am a Teddy Bear collector and "bearsmith" (one who makes bears) but haven't been for the weekend as of yet, and I always figure I am missing something at Flower and Garden.

My official suggestions would be more of the Behind the scenes tours at Seaworld. I enjoyed the Backstage at Believe when I was there and after hearing Pete discuss his tour, I really wish I would have spent more time on the tours. I don't think I would have understood the Believe show quite as much without having the back story they provided over lunch.

I would also like to suggest that perhaps Bob could do something which highlights each area of each park. Starting with the Magic Kingdom, perhaps and just covering what is offered in each area, talking about the theming, and the attractions, the best shady nap spots. This could help newer visitors as well as possibly highlight things that might have been overlooked. Not every little detail but perhaps more of "Bob's Picks" for each area. I suspect this would also spark some interesting discussion & draw out some trivia.
After the segment runs, we could also start a thread to share our thoughts and memories of the areas as well.

[magic2go]

Lets not forget Julie too! Once the Store Tours are done... how about a Spa Tours segment? I'd love to hear about the different spa's, and things to do to pamper yourself after a long day (or week) of touring the parks!

[Dale-Not-Chip]

Lets not forget Julie too! Once the Store Tours are done... how about a Spa Tours segment? I'd love to hear about the different spa's, and things to do to pamper yourself after a long day (or week) of touring the parks!

Did Julie Email you to try to get her free trips to the Spas. ;)

[magic2go]

[DebºoºS]

"Bob's Bar Hop Around The World"
I'd like to hear Bob review of "mature" adults night spots such as Jellyrolls & Atlantic Dance. I've always been curious are there places in the Swan & Dolphin for after dinner drinks and dancing?

"Giddeyup Cowboy Bob"
Off site as well as onsite horseback riding. Do they still offer horse back riding or carriage rides at Wilderness? I've always wanted to try it and am curious where it's offered.

"Bob's Take On Independant Films" :artist:
I'd love to hear Bob's review of a few independant films at the Florida Film Festival in Orlando. March 28-April 6, 2008. Better yet would be interviews with a few celebrities. Former attendees have included: Paul Newman, Christopher Walken, Oliver Stone, James Caan, William H. Macy, Henry Winkler, Peter Fonda and Rosanna Arquette.

[cocowum]

I love the BBB idea. Bob can get the "Cool Dude" package. :cool2:


:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

(Can you you imagine poor Bob trying to explain himself arriving @ BBB with Kaht Kam. Can anyone say..."security") ::cop:

[cocowum]

I think Bob should go to the MK and head over to Tom Sawyers Island and give us a review of things to do over there, as well as the food/snacks available. Maybe he could get there right at opening (10:00am) and try to find one of those elusive paint brushes. I'd love to hear Bob's tale of running over small children in Kaht Kam to get to the paint brushes first.:rotfl: I know there's not much over there but knowing (and loving:love: ) Bob the way we do, He could probably do a 2 or 3 hour segment. :)

[Momof2princess]

Send Bob to go camping at Fort Wilderness. No RV but a tent site. He could report back on that and all the activities they have there at the fort.:thumbsup2

[astrodrummergirl]

How about getting Bob to go round the MK with a Pal Mickey, or try out the testing of the DS GPS system. I'd love to know how that's working out.:thumbsup2

The DS would be a case of if Bob can use it, anyone can!

[WebmasterBob]

After hearing his review of the Cafe Rix Lounge at Coronado Springs, we would love to hear Bob do a regular “Bar Tours” segment. The focus could be on the theme, décor, ambiance, food availability and, if any, specialty drinks (i.e. Mo-gee-toes). This would fill in an important gap in guest information after Store Tours, Resort Review, Pool Tours, etc.

Hey Pete – how about it?

Greg (a/k/a Mr. Parrotheadlois - until I sign up and get my own name)

[magic2go]

After hearing his review of the Cafe Rix Lounge at Coronado Springs, we would love to hear Bob do a regular “Bar Tours” segment.

Or even a "Beers around the World" or "Cocktails around the World" segment - I see those mentioned on the boards failry often, but haven't ever had the time to try it!

[chirurgeon]

I think Bob should go on the Sunrise Safari and the Sunset Safari. Of course he would have to force himself to stay at AKL concierge to do it, but I'm sure he is willing to sacrifice himself for the enjoyment and edification of his listeners.

Kim

[kmk1180]

What about fishing or water skiing?
A start of of segment of things you can do at Walt Disney World, outside the parks.

Others could include Horseback riding, Parsailing, go to Cirque, DisneyQuest, Richard Petty, Surfing Typhoon Lagoon. Things like that.

[GabbyMom]

Could you have Bob do a photo assignment, like a scavenger hunt? He will try and take the most unique pictures of a park and we would try to guess the attractions and park he went to.

then from the list of right answers you can pick a winner each week for a t-shirt or pin and lanyard.

[Cyrano]

I've not read through everyone's suggestions so this could be a duplicate.
Mine is send Bawb pin trading. I'm sure he will give it his usual, unique standpoint as well as make an excellent segment.

Maybe you could give Bob a prize if he comes back with more than he started with or comes back with some limited edition pins :rotfl:
If you pull the cruise envelope Bob I don't eat much and I'm clean and tidy :lmao: ;)

[astrodrummergirl]

You could send Bob to come and do my Product Design coursework for me... :rolleyes:






Only kidding...

[magic2go]

Have you guys done a segment on Grand Gatherings (we're due to start organizing one for late summer/early fall)? Maybe Bob can go through the process of organizing one, and going to some of the activities that are offered?

PS. I'd be happy to go if you don't have enough people willing to go with you!

[fakereadhed]

Lunch with an Imagineer at Brown Derby!

[mla973]

How about a segment of free or low-cost things to do on Disney property, perhaps at resorts? (i.e. canoeing at FW, searching for Hidden Mickey's, etc.)

I second the suggestions about some of the special tours/programs at AK and AKL.

Lastly, I would love to hear a review of the bass fishing excursion. DH really wants to go, but doesn't want to bring down all of this equipment for 2 hours of fishing.

[Stevegriswold]

Send Bob Drinking around the World at Epcot.
That would be a fun video to watch.

Even better, have the entire crew drink around the world.

I don't know if this can be arranged, but how about if Bob spent a day or part of a day in one of the parks as a CM running one of the attractions?

[astrodrummergirl]

I came up with another idea....

Magical Music Days, if and when they still do them. I have a strange facination with American Marching Bands. Might be because I'm in a marching band, but theirs always look so much more fun.

[debsters41]

I think I am seconding the motion to hear about Bob's take on the mini golf courses (If he has already done them, will someone point me towards the right episode in the archives?) Also, I think he should do a current tour of the World Showcase in Epcot, (not the food or the stores, wouldn't want him stepping on Kevin's or Julie's toes), because if there is any way to find out every marvelous aspect of each country's offering, sending Bob in there to explore and talk with the CM's is it!:banana:

As a timeshare owner who often stays off site I would love to hear about them and also other dinner shows in the area. When I was down there in Sept. I remember seeing flyer's for a Pirate dinner show and the wonder works show (the upside down building on I drive) and would love to hear if they are worth the time or not

Kevin needs to do the Dinner Shows and treat them like a real review. Send bob to the Tourist trap things like the wonderworks and stuff.


13 years ago we went to the Pirate Dinner Show. Yuk.

OMG - can't you just see Bawb participating at Medieval Times? Jousting with Kaht Kam??!?

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[beachwarmer]

I would love a "Day in the Life" segment.

What is a typical day in the life of Bob like? (or any of the Podcast crew)

Most of us who listen can only dream of being able to wake up in the morning and decide to head over to the Magic Kingdom. The ability they have to, as Kevin puts it "use Epcot like Central Park" is really amazing. Even more of a dream for most of us is the idea that they have to go to do "work".

So much work goes just into doing the Podcast for each one of the members, and they each have other roles with DIS and Dreams Unlimited. I can image that some days they must have to put in a lot of hours. What is a typical day like? How do they research the segments for the podcast? How often do they check the DIS boards for their name ?;)

A Day in the Life of Bob...How many naps did he take? How many people did he run over in the Kaht.....video to go with this would be perfect....

or send him to the Pig Poop dropping/Cow Bingo festival to report...video of the would be great too.

Send Bawb on a "resort specialty tour"..... He'd visit each resort, and do one thing "special" to that resort..... for example....

Port Orleans French Quarter, a buggy ride and beignets
Wilderness Lodge, watch the geysers, ask for ketchup at WCC
Fort Wilderness, s'mores and campfire singalong with Chip n Dale

I'm sure others can flesh out this idea, and choose what each resort has that's "special" about it... or unique to it.

Bob can be our new American Idol! Send Bob over to try out for the show and report back on how it goes!

Of course he'll need to record his audition, and play it back on the podcast too!:cool1:

[missminniemouse]

Send Bawb to the parks using a language translation unit, the "Ears to the World, Disney's Show Translator." First of all, I'd love to hear Bawb try to say that last sentence. This way he can hear what some of the attractions sound like in French, German, Japanese, Portugese or Spanish. It would be interesting to know how these units work and how much audio is really on them.

Send Bawb to a wedding at Disney's Wedding Pavillion.

Send Bawb for a trip on Kali River Rapids to see if he gets wet or not! I always get SOAKED on this attraction. I just wanted to know if Bawb is water resistant!

Nothing much is ever mentioned about Innoventions. Maybe Bawb could do a report on what's happening there, especially since there are several new areas that have just opened up. I heard they are working on a new exhibit for Velcro, but I'm not sure if that one is open yet or not. Can anyone say Bawb and Velcro?

I think you should send Bob to Downtown Disney to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. He could get that new Hannah Montana special they just started offering there.

[KimStaR]

Send Bob to take a nap at the Hall of Presidents! just kidding :goodvibes

Send him to take the Backstage Safari tour at Animal Kingdom... or send him on a fishing excursion from one of the resort marinas.

[wishspirit]

I would happily show you round Disneyland Paris, any excuse to go!

I'l join you :) Sounds like a plan, you, me, Bawb and Kart Kam! The new TOT has just opened there and i wanna go!

I LOVE the mini golf idea! Both of the courses at both of the places, cause i have only ever one one of each.

The day in the life thing would be great too, it would be interesting to understand more about what i would consider to be one of the best jobs in the world!!

[miss missy]

Send Bob to the Grand Floridian for a Swedish massage (he can pretend its french, if he wants to) and a gentleman's facial. I'd love to hear his report on a day at the spa. And frankly Bob deserves a bit of pampering for all he puts up with from everyone!

:laughing: I think that is one job Pete is sure to keep assigned to himself! I asked about them reviewing massages last year, and Pete was sure He would be taking care of that job himself :) and I can't say I blame him.

So Pete what do ya say, are you gonna give that job up to Bawb ???

[vellamint]

Send Bob to either Jellyrolls for drinks........I want a more "mature" review of it lol.

(sorry if this has already been posted as I did not read through the whole thread)

[NC Belle]

Send Bob to get a Dole Whip in Hawaii.:thumbsup2























P.S. Bob---you owe NC Beast and me a Dole Whip float if you get this for a segment. ;)

[DisnyMama]

My suggestion is to send Bob to his kitchen to make an authentic Dole Whip! :thumbsup2 The mix that disney uses can be purchased on line at www.uec-hawaii.com. It is listed under their soft serve products and is $21.95 per bag so Bob could have Dole Whips any time he wanted and even more important......He would be able to make a batch and get it to a Podcast recording before it melted. :cool1: :rotfl:

[tn4mickey]

Since Bob is good with budget details, how about a $40 a day series from each park. (borrowing from Rachael Ray's show) With so much attention given to the dining plan it could be good information for those of us that don't want the dining plan.

[Melissa_E]

Has anyone done any of the Adventures by Disney trips? I know there is one in Williamsburg/DC area which might be neat. Could Bob go to one of these to see if they are worth it with their "extra care to details?"

I like Hope's $40 a day idea too! I think that is great!

[Splat25]

Have you thought about sending Bob to Sea World's new Aquatica water park? Sorry if this is a report of a prior request. I'm visiting in Mid april from Alaska and am headed there.

- I also like the $40/day idea from above, sounds great. I have the dining plan so it doesn't affect me much, but I like the idea.

:thumbsup2

And he could stop by and say "hi" while he's here!!

OT - I was at Great Wolf Lodge a while back and one of their cabanas was reserved for ABD. No one ever came to use it, though. I would've liked to have met the tour guide and talked to him/her.

[wildeoscar]

Send Bawb to the Richard Petty Driving Experience. I need to know if its worth the money! :rotfl:

its worth the money.

[wildeoscar]

Send Bob to get a Dole Whip in Hawaii.:thumbsup2


the dole plantation on Oahu is a crappy tourist trap, with dole whips.

[miss missy]

hey wildeoscar.. do you ever sleep? :lmao:

[NC Belle]

the dole plantation on Oahu is a crappy tourist trap, with dole whips.

Bob deserves a fun, even if it has some tourist traps, Hawaiian trip.

[Miss Stitch]

Maybe Bob could check out disabled access in the parks and resports. He could ride round in his Kart and talk about any specific problems he comes up with. Crowds, small spaces, doors etc. Could be quite helpful to people coming in wheelchairs etc.

[jjpenguin]

English pronunciation classes!

Just kidding Bawb ;)

Actually I quite like the breakfast idea... breakfast is an underrated meal, and not that easy if you want a good breakfast without characters or buffet...

Let's do Bawb's Best Breakfasts!

[DSNY4ever]

I don't know if they have already done this and I never heard it, but I would love to hear about Silver Springs Nature Park. I saw something about it on the Travel Channel, and being from California it looks really neat. I would love to hear Bob's review and if he think it is worth the drive out of Orlando.

[Madi100]

I think we need to send Bob on a carriage ride at the different resorts and get his opinion on his favorite. My parents have done the one at Port Orleans, but I'd like to know if there are any that are better or how they compare.

[burberryplaid]

2 more ideas..

I know WL has a resort tour..maybe Bawb can do that at WL and any other resorts that offer tours. I know someone else mentioned kind of a self-guided atmospheric tour..but since they have these and they are structured, they might be good because I know people ask about them. (They are also free I believe)

My 2nd idea is the re-dedication of Animal Kingdom and Earth Day activites on April 21.

[astrodrummergirl]

I came up with another one, its cheap and easy.

Send Bob to film the Fountain Of Nations display at Epcot. On my first visit to Epcot (of only 2 visits) me and sister sat and watched this display and I thought it was wonderful but haven't found a video of it yet. I suppose with that, you could send him looking for out of the way things to do in Future World.:thumbsup2

[TriMom]

Send Bob to Gatorland.

A guy my DH works with swears in all sincerity that Galtorland beats out anything he saw at Disney World or Universal!!

[TheTXTaylors5]

:wave2: Hello All!

This is my very first post on the DIS Unplugged thread. I recently discovered DIS Unplugged from my DH(Bill). For the past few months, he'd put on his Zune before falling asleep (or sometimes it would put him to sleep ;) ). I thought he was listening to music all this time. Come to find out, he's been listening to y'all. So, now we have started a tradition to listen together. He gets one earplug and I get the other. What a way to bring a couple together. :hug:

The thread "Where Should We Send Bob Next?" caught my eye. BTW, I love Bob's accent. Being a native Bostonian myself, it reminds me of my old stomping grounds. :thumbsup2 After visiting WDW a few times, in our lovely DISgreen Disney shirts I must type :rolleyes: I've come up with a few ideas of my own:

1. Disney's Wilderness Back Trails Adventure. We are new DVC Members and just received our first issue of Disney Files Magazine. I received it yesterday and have already read it front to back a few times. The information on Disney's Wilderness Back Trail Adventure sound very interesting:

Guests can be a little more "Walt-like" with Disney's Wilderness Back Trail Adventure, a journey through rustic woods of Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground on a cutting-edge Segway X2 Personal Transporter. (This off road model features deeply treaded tires and higher ground clearance than other Segway models.) . . . Specially trained Cast Members lead Guests in a brief orientation of the two-wheeled, self-balancing gizmos before guiding the adventurous pack on a gliding tour through the pristine Florida landscape in and around the resort.

We are staying in a Fort Wilderness cabin this upcoming April. I hope I don't see these Segways whizzing by our cabin. That might ruin the peace and quiet of being in the great outdoors.

2. Spaceship Earth (I'm a new listener. So, I don't know if you've been in it since the re-opening.)

We were at WDW this past early December before it re-opened. So, we saw it's beauty from afar. Later, we did find out it was open for a short period while we were there. But, we didn't find that out until the next day when we overheard others talking about it. :sad2:

3. Toy Story Mania (at Disney's Hollywood Studios)

I've heard rumors that there will be a "soft opening" the end of April. Having a two year old whose everyone other word is Woody or Buzz, this will be a much anticipated review. :rolleyes1

4. Sunrise or Sunset Safari (Disney's Animal Kingdom) (Again I am a new listener. So, I don't know if he has done this one yet.)

We keep going back and forth on whether we want to fork over the extra money for Concierge at Animal Kingdom Lodge in hopes of doing a sunrise or sunset safari. One, I am curious if concierge at this resort is worth it in itself for the extra money. Second, is the safari that much better than the park admission safari? A review on this would personally help DH(Bill) and I finally make a decision on our Fall WDW trip.

5. T-Rex (New Restaurant in Downtown Disney- opening Fall 2008)

We were at DTD this past December and saw the huge sign advertising this new dinosaur-themed restaurant. Now, I have a hard enough time keeping my kids from crying in the Rainforest Cafe with the gorillas making noise and lions roaring. I am curious how intense this restaurant is going to be with all the dinosaurs. I hope a review for this new restaurant in on your schedule.

Thank you for your time. More importantly, thank you for your Podcast. It is truly entertaining and informative at the same time. You all know your stuff. We plan to transfer an upcoming Disney Cruise (we rebooked onboard) to ya'll after getting great reviews from other DISers. Great job all around! :goodvibes

Warmest Regards,
Jennifer

:wave2: Hello All!
"Where Should We Send Bob Next?" caught my eye. BTW, I loveBob's accident. Being a native Bostonian myself, it reminds me of my old stomping grounds.

Well I've never heard it refered to as his "accident" before, but that works! :rotfl:

[UrsulasShadow]

Well I've never heard it refered to as his "accident" before, but that works! :rotfl:

Geez, it appears that taking the native Bostonian out of his habitat does something very weird to his language skills...

[TheTXTaylors5]

Well I've never heard it refered to as his "accident" before, but that works! :rotfl:

:rotfl: Very funny. I was VERY tired when I wrote that. Our two year old woke up screaming and would not go back to sleep. So, I plopped him on the couch to watch cartoons and I hopped on the DISboards. :surfweb:

BTW - Why does Bob continue to call Innoventions, Interventions. It is very funny to listen to. :rotfl: He stops and thinks before he says it, but still says the wrong word. :rotfl2: He is a hoot! We love Bob. Did anyone hear his review on the trash truck at "Interventions"? I'd have to see it to totally understand what the heck he was talking about. Has anyone seen it in person? :confused:

- Jennifer

[MenashaCorp]

Typing "accident" for "accent" is just soooo perfect in so many ways.
1)The word "accident" BEING an accident, of course.
Even funnier, though;
2)Referring to Bawb speak ("accent") and saying the word wrong without even trying. Just like Bawb!! I love this!! It's like holding a mirror up to a mirror.... sort of. :lmao:

Very funny. I think this should be an honorary Bawbism. Bawb speaks with an "accident." :lmao:

[meowzer]

Bob (Bawb) should be sent on a series of Disney transportation (busses, boats, monorail) with his cart. He can then rate/review how the CM's treat someone with an assisted device. How much time it takes, etc.

The logistics of taking the cart from the parking lots and resorts into the parks.

I am a 100% recovered stroke survivor (36 years old) and work in the architectural design field. I have become very aware of all the mechanical logistical things which have been put in place by ADA, etc. It is the people side of it which is always the variable.

How do Disney's CM's respond especially with crowds?

[tinkbutt]

I think you should send bawb and the rest of the crew on tower of terror and post the ride photo!!! I would love to see bawb's reaction or rock and roll!!!

Having not read through the whole string, I'm not sure if it's been used, but can't we send Bob to Disneyland and do a segment from Club33? I realize the restaurant segment is typically a Kevin thing, but exclusive club and Bob just go hand in hand (or boot)! Have boot, will travel!

BTW - Bob is my favorite "character"!!!! He's a Sox fan, that's all that counts!

:thumbsup2 Don't you just love all the "closet" Red Sox fans that came out after they won the World Series. We were at WDW last year when they won (AGAIN in my lifetime! :woohoo:) and I just laughed when I saw people wearing "brand new" Red Sox gear. My pink "B" hat will NEVER be replaced. I even got DS7 a Sox hat when he was one. He still has it. :thumbsup2 It has been well worn and will never be replaced either.

I saw you live in CT. I was born in CT and raised in MA. I still remember the Hartford Whalers. The good old days. :cloud9:

Oh yeah, well, it's tough where I live as it appears to be the Red Sox/Yankee DMZ, very much split between the two groups....If you can't get to the game between the teams it's just as good to watch at a bar in this area...just as tense!

Sox fan all my life thanks to my Grandfather (who was lucky enough to see them win twice in his lifetime prior to passing away this last December). I almost liked it better when they were loveable losers! (I keep editing this thing!....) You know you're a Sox fan when......you spend 16 hours on-line the day single game tickets go on sale!!!! Got tix to 3 games, woohoo!

Oh, and as for the Whalers....Well, you just can't be a fan unless you love "The Brass Bonanza" LOL

[TallyTutter]

I have two suggestions, 1 mischievous suggestions & 1 really nice suggestion for a very good natured guy who takes a lot of abuse from everyone really well.

:rolleyes1Mischievous = How 'bout sending Bawb to the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique! I guess we could send him with a deserving 8 yr. old girl if we had too!

:love:Really nice suggestion for a very good natured guy who takes a lot of abuse from everyone really well = How 'bout sending Bawb for a "spaw day" tour! Bawb could have appointments at each of the resorts that have spa services and then enjoy a relaxing "spaw day"! He could take a nap during his treatment and then come back really relaxed and be ready to face the world again. That would be an awesome review! Face it, Bawb deserves a "spaw day".

[NWOhioAngela]

Okay, now hear me out before you guys go crazy on this one.

A potty patrol.

Seriously. Some of us have a "thing" about bathrooms having to be really clean and really accessible and it would be nice to know which is the best location, the cleanest, easiest to get a kaht in, blah blah blah. We would most definetly get our poop reference of the week in, and there's got to be an obvious tie in to the whole Waste Management thing from this week, right?

No?

not sure if it's been mentioned, but how about sending Bob to swim with the Dolphins at Sea World (or has this already been done by one of you guys?) Or, swim with the sharks over at Typhoon Lagoon? Not sure what Bob's "swimming" status is, but was a thought that popped into my head while surfing the sites.

That's right, almost forgot the Martin's did Discovery Cove! Brain fried! What about the sharks? :) Not that I want to throw Bob to the sharks, but this attraction sounds pretty darn cool to me and just not something I'll be able to get to in the next couple of trips.

Also, realizing how much of a "newb" I really am and how idiotic some of my responses will be due to not knowing all of the various nuances from the boards... I'm looking for you guys to simply post "NEWB!!!!" when I post an idiot question/response. Thanks!!

[pixe*dst]

I haven't read the whole thread, so this may be there already, but how about sending Bawb for an Intervention. I mean, send him to Innoventions. Since he gave the report on the new trash exhibit/activity, it would be great to hear his take on all of the exhibits and activities at Innoventions. It is a great place to go in the heat or in the rain, and my family has found a few hidden gems there--it would be nice to know what else is fun.

Send Bob to NYC during baseball's All-Star Week to historic Yankee Stadium. Even though I am a die hard Met Fan and usually can care less about the yanks..they will be knocking down Yankee & Shea Stadium at the end of the 2008 season! I still can't believe they are doing this to Yankee Stadium it is a part of baseball & Nyc Culture.

You can tie in some Disney activities during that week as well.

1. Billy Joel will be doing the last concert at Shea Stadium that week.
2. You can send Bob to see Disney on Broadway Show's such as The Little Mermaid, Lion King
3. You can send Bob to The World of Disney store on 5th avenue for a review
4. and lastly Bob can get some great NYC Pizza that all you guys have been craving & missing out on down in Orlando.

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

I would like to see the different hard ticket events such as the P&P, Halloween, and Christmas parties so we know which ones are worth paying for. I didnt read through everything; sorry if this was already mentioned.

[disneysarge156]

I think you should give Bob a microphone and send him to the differerent parks to interview cast members and visitors. Hearing reactions to Bob's use/misuse of the english language will funny to say the least.

It will be Pete's version of the Tonight Show's on scene reporter (or whatever they call that bit)

Joe
