🕵🏻‍♂️ We're Searching for the Top Ten Hidden Tributes in WDW!


Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences

Konnichwa, my friend (can you tell I'm excited to be hosting a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Japan in a couple of weeks?!?)

But for now... 🎧 What do a crashed window, a forgotten Viking sword, and a mischievous horse have in common? They’re all part of the hidden tributes and Easter eggs scattered throughout Walt Disney World! In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Little Timmy Foster as we countdown our Top Ten Hidden Details and Tributes in WDW. From heartfelt nods to extinct attractions to blink-and-you’ll-miss-it movie references, this episode is your guide to spotting the secrets Imagineers left behind. 🧐 Tune in and follow the clues: Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify! and 📷 Snap a photo of your favorite hidden Disney detail & tag me at @LouMongello or share it in the WDW Radio Clubhouse!

Let's see... what else is going on? We have our Walk for Wishes tomorrow in Orlando to benefit Make-A-Wish, and I'm excited and grateful to be joined by members of the WDW Radio family for a fun night to support an incredible cause. Next week, I'll be traveling to Chicago (hmmm... can I swing a pilgrimage to Walt's boyhood home while I'm there?) to speak at Podcast Movement Evolutions... where should I eat while I'm in town?

Have you been watching Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+?!? It's the best work Marvel has put on the big or small screen in a long time... possibly ever?!? If you want to chat about it with spoilers, come be part of the conversation (I have theories!!!) in our Spoiler Support Group!

And did you see that Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin in WDW is getting an update?! Share your thoughts here.

📜 Making Memories Through Cultural Connections
This week on the blog, Kendall Foreman is sharing how Disney connects and all of us through music, food, and stories. It’s about the memories that come rushing back, the traditions we cherish, and the way Disney makes us feel like we’re part of something bigger.

🚨 LIVE SHOW TONIGHT! 🚨
Every Wednesday, I go live to bring you the latest Disney stories, news... and sometimes my (spoiler-free) opinions on Daredevil: Born Again. But where will I be broadcasting from this week? 🤔 Tune in and chat with me and other members of the community at 7:30pm ET on Facebook and YouTube.
