Transportation at Walt Disney World Redux- Episode 102 of The Disney Exchange
The Disney Exchange is Lisa, Dave and me, Nick
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
We start off talking about all the news that came out recently about Pandora, (the Avatar planet, not the jewelry store or internet music service streaming ), at Disney's Animal Kingdom, Star Wars Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios, new Magic Pucks Bands, as well as a few other items.
We revisit transportation at Walt Disney World, first discussed here way back on Episode 2, including Magical Express, boats, buses the Monorail and traveling resort to resort, park to park, and the new Disney Springs parking/bus area.
We discuss the bus monitors popping up around various resorts as well.
The Wheel of Distiny topic: Favorite 101 Dalmation.
If you have a show suggestion, a wheel topic (and believe me, we can use them, as evidenced in this week's selection), want to say hi, or just tell me how much you appreciate my wit, you can interact with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedisneyexchange, Twitter: https://twitter.com/disneyexchange or email us at: info@thedisneyexchange
We'd also be super psyched if you gave us a 5 start review on iTunes, which would go a long way towards getting our show out to the masses!
Thank you for listening to The Disney Exchange!

Star Wars Smugglers Bounty; I Can't Say Goodbye
By Nick
I joined Funko Pop Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty at the very start.
Each box comes with a Pop vinyl(s), apparel, accessories, collectibles and more, all exclusive and a $50 value!
There are 2 types of memberships available.
1) Pirate is the recurring monthly plan which ships one box every other month, with the option to cancel anytime. This option is $25.
I went with 2) the annual plan, which is $150, and includes an exclusive gift on the anniversary of membership.
I was on the fence as to whether or not to renew. Until I got my latest shipment, The Death Star, and I was pulled back in! I was happy with everything in this assortment:
Darth Vader patch and Stormtrooper pin:
Awesome tee shirt:
A Death Star luggage tag. I will not be using that on checked luggage however, but will take it carry on.
The 2 Pop figures are Grand Moff Tarkin, who I have gained a new appreciation for after reading the novel, appropriately titled Tarkin, and Darth Vader.
Because I have the annual plan I am eligible for a free exclusive Smuggler's Bounty gift. I received an email a couple of weeks ago saying that there had been a production setback on this gift, and it would not be delivered until March, and that they would be sending another free gift, a mass produced, but vaulted figure.
A couple of days later I was pleasantly surprised to receive this great figure of a Jawa!

I was very happy with the first 2 shipments, the 1st being The Force Awakens themed, the 2nd, The Resistance, but I wasn't as excited with the 3rd set, The Cantina, and was also underwhelmed by the next 2 sets, Bounty Hunters and Jabba's Palace. accessories, collectibles and more! - See more at: https://www.smugglersbounty.com/#sthash.JSMXbqF3.dpuf

WDW Ride Vehicle Comfort- The Disney Exchange Podcast Episode 100
The Disney Exchange is Lisa, Dave and me, Nick
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
100 Episodes! Yikes! Thanks for the kind intro Dave Tupper!
There is noise makers. There's balloons. There is laughter. There's confetti, there are tuxedos.
We very briefly reminisce and my new contract finally arrives before we launch into this week's topic, ride vehicle comfort.
We each share our height and body proportions before discussing the various types of ride vehicles in each of the parks in Walt Disney World, focusing in on some of the most popular rides, for instance, our thoughts on the Doom Buggy ride vehicles in the Haunted Mansion, and their similarities to the Clamobiles in Under the Sea - Voyage of the Little Mermaid, also at the Magic Kingdom, and The Seas With Nemo and Friends in Epcot.
The Wheel of Distiny topic: What Disney animated movie would you like to see made into a live action movie next?
Finally, we wrap things up with our Listener Number Giveaway! Congrats Katy, #118!

What She Said...Pulling My Disney Comfort Closer
I'm publishing this article which Lisa just posted yesterday on her Living a Disney Life Blog because she has summed up how I feel about this past week pretty well. - Nick
By Lisa Green
This is the first post I’ve written all week – I
still love you guys and I still have a lot to say about Disney and my
love for all the joy and magic I find in it. This week I’ve been
distracted by a few things, not the least of which has been the
hate-filled rants and incredibly vicious attacks I’ve seen all over
social media related to our American democracy and the process of
electing the people who govern our country.
Pulling My Disney Comfort Closer
I treasure my own freedom of speech and believe we
are entitled to speak our minds. I love a good debate between
open-minded adults who can argue a point without making personal attacks
on those with opposing views. If
you’ve ever met me in person, you know I possess no shortage of
opinions on a wide variety of topics and am never afraid to express my
feelings. I speak my mind…sometimes too quickly, sometimes too
passionately, but not with the purpose of tearing down another human
being intentionally. On social media? I choose to post family events
and happenings, the occasional humorous meme, and lots of pictures of my
dog, Junior.
I
also post a LOT about my love for Disney. It’s not that I don’t have
strong feelings about religion or politics, I’m simply choosy about when
and where I express those particular opinions and with whom I’d like to
debate them. I believe one should never email, text, or post on social
media anything one would not say face-to-face – hiding behind an online
identity to be hateful is the sign of a coward.
I didn’t unfriend or unfollow a single person, but I
was shocked and dismayed by what I read on Wednesday morning. I’m not a
person with delicate sensibilities, but the vitriol! The utter disdain
for fellow citizens and their right to their own beliefs and decisions
was shocking to me! Complete strangers hurling horrific insults at one
another, spewing poison with no respect, no compassion, and no reason!
And what purpose did it serve? Why would anyone want to show the world
the very worst version of themselves they have to offer? Is that
who they really are? If so, then we do indeed need to fear for the
future of America – her citizens have chosen anger and hate over
respect, tolerance, and love.
Then I figured out why I was so surprised. Remember this post about
the Disney fan community? I follow (and am followed by) thousands of
fellow Disney fans on social media. Overwhelmingly nice people in
general who are brought together by their passion for Disney vacations,
movies, characters, collectibles, and more. Some are fellow bloggers
and podcasters, all are very geeky about Disney. The ugliness on social
media was not coming from these people. They were, like me, disgusted
enough to politely ask, “Why can’t we all get along?” before taking a
break from Facebook and Twitter to ride out the election aftermath
watching movies or planning a vacation. Once again, I am reminded how
special my Disney friends are and how much I appreciate being part of
such a loving group of humans.
I’ll be back next week with more Disney topics to share – in the meantime, thanks for reading and have a great weekend.
Lisa can be found on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LivingaDisLife and on Twitter at @life_of_green

Where in Walt Disney World would you find this stenciling that Barbie spotted?
We believe it is a shout out to my favorite droid R2-D2.
The answer is below the photo.
