  • WDW Radio # 727 - Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Closing... and the Good that May Come From It

    WDW Radio # 727 - Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Closing... and the Good that May Come From It
    May 19 2023
    WDW Radio # 727 - Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Closing... and the Good that May Come From It I'm actually not diving into the Archives this week, because as I said when first added this new show to the feed, also opened up other opportunities to discuss and address important events as they happen... like this week. On Thursday, May 18, Disney announced that they would be closing the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, with the final voyage taking place in September. Based on numerous discussions that were going on in the WDW Radio Clubhouse on Facebook, as well as private conversations I was having via text, DM, etc. I felt it was important to go live, and discuss, with you, the announcement, our reactions, as well as speculation as to what's next. I share my honest thoughts and reaction, including why I think the Starcruiser was forced to close, Bob Iger, the Cast Members, as well as the good that I think can and will come from this unexpected announcement and closure. So I decided to take the audio from the live show and share it here on the podcast, as I understand that maybe you didn't catch this live conversation, or missed the video replay which is posted in the Clubhouse. And in addition to what we discussed here, I think there is much more to talk about in terms of the Starcruiser, your concepts and ideas of what should happen next, your experiences on the Starcruiser if you had them, and anything else you're like to talk about. To be part of future live conversations, please be sure to join me every Wednesday night at 7:30pm at WDWRadioLIVE.com, and turn on notifications on the WDW Radio Facebook page and in the Clubhouse so you don't miss a thing... including unscheduled shows like this one!

    WDW Radio # 782 - My Conversation With Chef Art Smith from Homecomin' in Disney Springs

    Sometimes, interviews don't always go as planned... and that's not necessarily a bad thing, as is the case this week. I recently sat down with renowned chef (and all-around nice guy) Art Smith, of Homecomin' in Disney Springs fame. We met at the restaurant to talk about new menu items, Florida Fresh, and more... but the conversation wonderfully turned to so much more. So this week, I invite you to pull up a chair, grab some hush puppies and deviled eggs (maybe a little moonshine if you're so inclined), and chat with me and the delightful Chef Art Smith.

    - What is your favorite items on the menu at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’?

    If you like what you hear, please share the show and tell a friend.

    So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.
