Of course I will do what I am told... - And I Have No Regrets! ºoº

Hi everyone!

While listening through the podcasts from 2015 and up to today I finally came to the episode where Pete introduced the awesome Michael Bowling and The Walt Connection segment of the DIS Unplugged.

And since Pete recommended that I go back to the DIS Unplugged Disneyland Edition and fetch Michaels episodes regarding the history of Disneyland up to the 60 yrs Anniversary; Disneyland at 60- Editions. I happily downloaded those in my podcast app and OMG!

The shows are absolutely amazing, fun and so educating. While mixed with awesome history facts and details that give more depth than I could have imagined.

I consider myself a Disney Nut and a Disney Veteran, and I have been digging into some good Disney History over the years through coffee table books (bought at Disney) and some websites too. And while visiting DLP and WDW several times I have also taken the Keys To The Kingdom Tour at MK and the counterpart at DLP. Both times started off at Main Street and while casually talking to the CM in the beginning of the walk it's been revealed that I know my Disney well enough to get a very personalized and in depth guided tour, much more advanced than your first time visitor.

But now... this show, wow!

And this experience has once again reminded me that the history and the creation of The Happiest Place(s) On Earth holds so much more than meets the eye, and is known by "main stream" facts!

And I am once again humbled and so grateful that there are such amazing people out there, like Michael Bowling, that are willing to share their deep and personal knowledge!

THANK YOU DIS Unplugged for broadening my Disney Horizons even further!

Yes, I've always said I am totally blown away by how much love Michael has for "the history of Disney" and all that means, and how much research, thought, and sheer love he puts into each and every episode. Craig also does an amazing job asking questions or making comments I would make if I were there with Michael! Bravo, guys!!

As much as Michael teases me about not listening to his segments, they are probably my favorites. He puts a LOT of time and effort to do his research, plus his personal experience at Disney as a kid, and continuing involvement blows me away.

Michael is fantastic with what he does. I love any show or segment he does on history of WDW or DL.

I could not agree more with all of the previous comments. Michael is absolutely fascinating!

You're in luck as I believe the new "season" of Connecting With Walt premiers this Friday.

Listening to the DL show now.....Michael, glad your cardiac tests turned out okay for you, hope the same turns out to be true of the pulmonary tests in July. I'll keep the healing vibes and pixie dust coming (and I'm sure my fellow DIS'ers will join me!) until you let us know they are no longer needed!

OMG, that's awesome!
You bet that I'm going to be ready with my mobile and headphones.

Yes, all my warmest well wishes and Pixie Dust!

Thank you for sharing this with all of us and to the boards!! I hope to see you here more often!

Michael is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! I always look forward to hearing him on a show and am already planning on going back to listen to his history segments. His enthusiasm and sheer joy always makes me smile when watching him on video shows.
