(Just like TRON: Legacy, only portions of this show are in 3-D. Just keep your headphones on. We had to warn you, it’s the law.)

The WDWNT Network proudly presents The 4th Annual Christmas Podcast Parade in 3-D, live (well, sort of) from the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida and the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. Join hosts Tom Corless, Paul Barrie, Regis Philbin, Anthony Yacullo, Sean Dickey, Jamie Nakagiri, Conner Purzycki, Brian Martsolf, and Chris Lastrapes for a wild time on Main Street U.S.A.

Over the past 3 and a half years, the WDWNT Network has been blessed with a number of incredible accomplishments. The latest, and perhaps greatest, of them is the nomination of the WDW News Today Podcast for Best Travel Podcast in the 2010 People’s Choice Podcast Awards. Thanks to our incredible listeners visiting PodcastAwards.com and writing in for us, we received a nomination. The final phase is going on now, and we’re calling upon our listeners for help once again. We are asking you to PLEASE vote for the WDW News Today Podcast for Best Travel Podcast by visiting PodcastAwards.com and voting daily through Wenesday, December 15th. Together, even as a great underdog, I believe we can achieve this goal. From the moment WDWNT was founded, we were told we wouldn’t make it. Here we are quite some time later on the verge of another great accomplishment, and once again we need to call upon our readers and listeners for help. We have the most die-hard Disney fans in our audience. I truly believe that you, more than anything else, have been the key to our success. Whether it’s raising $3000 for Toys for Tots or award nominations, I am proud of our staff and audience everyday. Win, lose, or draw in these awards I wanted that to be known (Although we would really like to win).

Thank you for your continued support,
Tom Corless
Founder and CEO of the WDWNT Network

WDWNT Network Presents 24 Hour Live Show To Benefit Toy For Tots

WDWNT Author on November 20, 2010

Following a tradition that started with the inception of WDW News Today in 2007, we will once again turn our focus to raising money for Toys for Tots during the 2010 holiday season. In 2009, we were able to raise $1807.00 for the charity during our inaugural 24 hour “WDWNT Live!” show. In the hopes of raising an even larger amount for this charity in 2010, I’m proud to announce that we are once again hosting a 24-hour-long live program to benefit Toys for Tots.

If you can make it, I can guarantee you’ll be in for an entertaining time, whether you join us for 1 or 24 hours. We hope to see you at the show!

Finally, to wrap up this week’s show, we take an in-depth listen to the new “Starry-O-Phonic Sounds” from Space Mountain at the Magic Kingdom.
