Podcasts can make you a Disney insider


The official podcast of Disneyland

Podcasts are an excellent way to get the latest scoop on behind the scenes interviews, events, appearances, rides and attractions, and on most of the unofficial podcasts, gossip about changes and improvements to the park (ie: McDonald’s contract to sell food at Disneyland will most likely end this year, and Pirates of the Caribbean will be adding touch screens and speakers to each boat to make the ride more interactive) 

A simple way to stay updated with these podcasts is to upload Disney’s official podcast for free on iTunes.  Personally, I subscribe to them, so they automatically go to my downloads, and then I can catch up when I’m driving, cleaning, working out, or just plain zoning out.

The Disney Podcast Network is an unofficial collection of fan podcasts that provide discussions, interviews, and information about Disney parks and other attractions. The Disney Podcast Directory tracks 135 unofficial and official Disney podcasts.

Among my favorites:

    The Meandering Mouse An audio tour of Disneyland and World while he discusses the parks’ atmosphere through the perspective of Jeff, your host.

    Teenage Disney Greek: Keegan, you teenage host, and his family provide audio commentary live from Disneyland.  Keegan really makes you feel like you a member of his “Dysfunctional SuperFamily”. 

    Walt’s Girls: Although it’s not updated regularly, mothers of young children will find this one very useful. The ladies post lots of pictures to their blog and podcast subjects include a tour of each of Epcot’s worlds and how to stay cool in the summer heat.

**note to Angelinos** Walt’s Girls is recorded in Florida and is exclusively about DisneyWorld.

    Netcot is my favorite. Van does a great job of keeping it brief, but still fun to listen to with great audio at the end.
    It can be found at www.netcot.com

    My absolute favorite Disney podcast is the Netcot podcast. It has news, but doesn't do a rumor mill and only reports the facts, which I like. Also, Van does featured attractions where he talks about a special Ride or show that the listeners request him to do. The shows are a lot if fun to listen to, and he makes a lot of jokes and baisically makes the listening experience fun.

    I Love the Netcot Pod cast. It started with a Walt Disney World focus but many Netcotters are also on the West coast. So Van expanded. He does a great job giving the details and letting you know what is fact and what is fiction. Ride comparisons from one park to another. Great Pod cast and a great Netcot.com community. Highly Recommended.

    Thanks so much for mentioning our show, Danielle. I just caught wind of your comments and I greatly appreciate it. April and I hope to pick the show back up very soon! Personally, right now, when I get the chance to listen, I enjoy WDWNT. They aren't cocky or pompous or trying to brag about their knowledge for the parks or their disney "insider" connections. Doing Disney podcasts is all about the "know" and learning about disney and making friends at the same time. Hope you are having a fabulous summer!
