Disney World Hotel Backstories

Some of y’all might remember a few weeks ago, Jeff and I talked a little about the hyper attention to detail employed by Walt Disney Imagineering when they’re planning every bit of the parks and resorts. This often results in elaborate backstories that most guests aren’t ever aware of, but help to create a more richly detailed and themed environment. This week, we’d like to share the backstory of four Walt Disney World resort hotels, and see if knowing these stories adds anything at all to your impressions and experience of the hotel. 

 

Don’t forget, we’re trying something new this summer, and releasing our news segment and theme park segment as two individual episodes. This helps spread all the great content we cover out over the week so you don’t miss us as much in between episodes, and also makes it easier to listen back to episodes in the future, without dated and irrelevant news stories. We hope. Make sure you’re subscribed to the show on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcatcher app, and that our show is set to automatically download. And let us know what you think about our new format!
