A Day At The Parks - the DIS team

[beastlyprince]

I would like to see each member of the DIS team film a "Day At The Parks" episode. Each member
would visit their most favorite park and attraction and discuss what the park and attraction mean to them.

Each team member would also be interviewed with a set of questions voted on my the people on this discussion board. The intention is not to make these questions be personal in nature or to be emotional in nature (like a few of the News segments have been), but rather be a fun, enjoyable look into each member.

I liked the recent episode that the team shot at the Magic Kingdom. It showed a different side of them,
a side that we don't always see when they're in the studio.

I would like the Disneyland team to do the same so that we could get to know them better. We see Tom and Michael a few times during the year, but we don't get to see Nancy, Mary Jo, and Tony.

If you like this idea please list a question you think should be part of the interview.


My question: If you could live at one of the resorts, which resort would it be and which location at the resort would you select?

Great questions!

If I could live at any of the resorts, it would be the Grand Floridian. I grew up dreaming of staying at this resort and have been fortunate to do so as a DVC member. I absolutely adore the main lobby, cast members, and overall feel of the place. I could most definitely live in the Sugar Loaf area, but would prefer the DVC villas. They're incredible!!

Things I'd like to know/ask the team:
Where would Kevin eat other than the Brown Derby?
What 3 rides would each member pick to ride
What 3 rides would the team pick for teens to ride?
What live action show is a must do (please don't say Nemo)?
Where is there shade in Animal Kingdom?
What are the team members must do snacks or drinks?
What is the worst time to visit the parks?

I know it's more than one question, but I'm full of questions.

Really like these ideas...I'll add one more....

I'd love a show where each team member goes into detail about their favorite WDW attraction. Visits the attraction(with video), details the history of the attraction, perhaps even talks to an Imagineer who has worked with that particular attraction, etc.

It would be cool to hear Kathy not only talk about WHY she loves Imagination so much, but actually talk to the people who have a history with it.

That's an excellent idea! Sure to get a range of attractions in the team. Hoping that's one idea that's picked up ASAP. With all due credit & kudos to King

Just thought to add (possibly beg), would someone please cover the Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise and Soarin? And could Julie take Mr. Toad's Wild Ride? I know that ride is gone and buried but still . . . sigh. Wouldn't that be a wonderful late Christmas gift for fans.

I just watched the DU-WDW episode (1/5/16). I like the information Pete gave at the end of this episode describing what we can look forward to in 2016. The one item that I particularly like is that the DIS team will be spending more time in the parks. Hopefully we'll get to see the DIS team members in action at the parks and I'd like to see the interaction they have like they showed in the recent Magic Kingdom video (12/19/15).

A few months ago I started listening to the DU-DL team every Sunday and I've enjoyed that programming, too. I wish there was some way that the Periscope clips (from both the WDW and DL teams) could be saved and archived on Youtube. I see Kathy posting a lot of Periscope clips, but I'm unable to watch them when they are happening. Using these Periscope clips would give us a small view into what is going on in the parks at that
very moment.

Since listening to the DU-DL podcasts I finally realized that their setup is much different than the DU-WDW setup ("from points across CA").
It's great when Tom and Michael appear on the DU-WDW shows and when Tom posts videos when visiting the DL parks. It would be great
if we could get to see Mary Jo, Nancy, and Tony so that we could get to know them better.

As of this writing it's 24 degrees F in New England. Thanks to the Orlando and CA teams for bringing some sunshine my way with all you do.
