New Segment Coming To The DLNT Podcast

WDWNT Author on August 28, 2010

The Disneyland News Today Podcast proudly presents…DLNT FAN-ly Feud!

After the months of waiting, the Disneyland News Today Podcast would like to announce the premiere of our very first GAME SHOW!  It will be modeled after the popular game show Family Feud.  The DLNT podcast team will go head-to-head to find out who knows our fans better.  Where does the FAN-ly part come in?  That’s where you come in.  We need YOU…that’s right, you, the fans…to help us put this show together.  We need you to complete a short survey relating to the Disneyland Resort in order to put together the statistics needed for the show.  The more people we get to complete the survey, the better.  So call up your friends and tell them to do it.  Get your mom to do it.  Get your dog to do it.  Even non-Disney fans can do it.  All the cool people are doing it.  The show cannot go on without your help. The Game Show will debut on Episode 40 of the Disneyland News Today Podcast.

So go to The Survey Site and complete our survey!

Some things to remember:
1. You may only take the survey once per IP address so make it count!
2. This survey ONLY applies to the Disneyland Resort (this includes Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney, and all Disney owned hotels).
3. Answer honestly with how YOU would answer it and not how you think other people would answer it.
4. You don’t have to answer every question.  If you can’t think of something for any question feel free to skip it.

HAVE FUN!

This survey will close on October 1st, 2010 .  So hurry and fill it out now!

When the WDWNT Network announced a late night Disney talk show concept back in May, many questioned if Tom Corless, Chris Lastrapes, Jose Castillo (and the Soundboard Band), and the rest of the WDWNT crew could carry out the project. Could they combine interviews with the Disney online community with a comedy show that was actually funny? Apparently, the listeners of this program think so! Since the debut episode back on June 16th, “See Ya’ Real Late” with Tom Corless has been drawing record numbers of listeners to WDWNTunes, the WDWNT Network’s online radio station. In celebration of the successful first season and season finale of this one-of-a-kind LIVE program, WDWNTunes is dedicating Sunday to “See Ya’ Real Late”.

The fun begins at 1PM ET with a marathon of the first 9 episodes of season 1. If you missed any of the excitement of these episodes during their original airings, this is your chance to catch each and every episode of the entire first season back to back. Don’t miss all of the incredible interviews, moments, and skits that have made this show such a success. Following that, our virtual red carpet returns with hosts Brandon Struve and Banks Lee of the WDWNTunes Super Obscure Show. Banks and Brandon will be walking up and down the carpet, interviewing guests as they arrive for the HUGE season finale.

Finally, it’s the main event, the season finale of “See Ya’ Real Late” with Tom Corless, starting at 11PM ET. There is literally too much show! Following the events of Wednesday night’s show, members of D64 (the anti-D23 coalition) will be invading to battle D23 members in a war to finally settle the score. We’ll also etch the final chapter in the “Lou-Log” and find out if Lou Mongello of the WDW Radio show has accepted the invitation to appear. Tom also welcomes guests Suzannah DiMarzio of the “Zannaland” blog and Paul Barrie of “A Window to the Magic”. If all of that wasn’t enough, listeners can expect a few HUGE surprises that promise this show will be a shocking one from start to finish!

Don’t miss Super “See Ya’ Real Late” Sunday, a celebration of WDWNT Network’s revolutionary LIVE late night talk show. Again, the fun begins Sunday, August 22nd, 2010, at 1PM ET, with the season 1 marathon, continues with the virtual red carpet special at 10:30PM ET, and concludes with the historic season finale of “See Ya’ Real Late” with Tom Corless at 11:00PM ET, all at www.WDWNTunes.com. We hope to see you there!

WDWNT Network Announces Major Changes and Additions

WDWNT Author on February 19, 2010

The WDWNT Network has always been dedicated to providing its followers with quality information and entertainment. In continuing this tradition, we are happy to announce a few additions and changes to the WDWNT Network that are taking place in the coming days, weeks, and months:

-For the first time ever, an existing podcast is being added to the WDWNT Network family. “Mr. Frank’s Wild Ride” has been a popular podcast & radio show since it was introduced, and now it is being added to the WDWNT Network roster. Frank Rogers hosts the variety show along with co-hosts Heather Nichols and Margaret Fries of the Disney World Moms Panel. “Mr. Frank’s Wild Ride” will soon reside at www.MrFranksWildRide.com, and can also be found on Twitter, Facebook, and its own section on the WDWNT Network Community Forums. The podcast actually began as an online radio show beginning September 2009 and ran through January 2010, switching to a podcast format this month. “Besides how nice the WDWNT Network staff has been to me, this move for Mr. Frank’s Wild Ride offers an enhanced connection to Disney, and great technical support,” said Frank, “We’re excited about the move to the WDWNT Network for the opportunity to offer a wonderful podcast product.”

-Multiple upgrades are on the way to the WDWNTube Disney Parks video site. You have probably already noticed the new layout that we introduced to the site a few weeks ago, but that was only the beginning. We have already begun converting many of our existing videos to full 1080P resolution and all new videos to come will be uploaded at this resolution as well. Followers will also soon be able to watch WDWNTube videos on their smart phones and various other mobile devices. Other enhancements are on the way as well, so stay tuned!

-Since WDWNTunes was launched in June 2009, it has been a tremendous learning experience for the WDWNT Network staff. Not only were we finally able to conduct live interactive programs with our listeners and followers, but we have also been able to provide great original programming and music from the Disney Parks and Resorts all around the world. Beginning Saturday, February 20, WDWNTunes will launch a completely revamped schedule filled with original programming, great Disney Parks music both past and present, and signature WDWNT Network Podcasts. For complete details on the new schedule, be sure to check the newly added WDWNTunes section of the WDWNT Network Community Forums.

-WDWNT: The Weekend is the WDWNT Network’s first ever fan event at the Walt Disney World Resort, taking place August 26th through August 29th, 2010. The event was officially announced June 2009 and registration opened for the event opened January 2010. Today has registration opening for our Live Podcast Recording/Catered Breakfast at the Seas with Nemo and Friends Lounge on August 28th from 10:00AM-12:00PM. This event will be the very first time a WDW News Today Podcast is recorded in front of a live audience, also allowing the audience in attendance to be part of the program. For more information on the entire event, be sure to visit www.WDWNTtheWeekend.com.

If you have any questions about these changes or additions, feel free to leave a post in the WDWNT Network Community Forums or email us at wdwnewstoday@gmail.com. Thank you for your continued support and we hope you enjoy these additions and changes.

WDWNTunes Announces “Super WDWNTunes Saturday”

WDWNT Author on February 13, 2010

WDWNTunes is proud to announce our most exciting day of programming ever, with our signature WDWNT Live! show, new original programming, WDWNT Network podcasts, and the Disney Parks music you love. “Super WDWNTunes Saturday” is a special event that defines everything that the online radio station & chat room is about.

The event begins with the wildly popular and first-ever WDWNTunes original program, Brandon and Banks’ Super Obscure Show. B&B S.O.S. is a show dedicated to obscure Disney audio and is usually featured twice a day on WDWNTunes. For this one time only special event, you can catch all 4 of the first episodes of the show in a row beginning at 10:00 AM ET.

For the first time in history, an episode of the popular WDW News Today Podcast will debut on WDWNTunes.com before being available for download. Episode 130 of the WDWNT Podcast will be airing beginning at 1:45 PM ET and contains what the podcast team has already described as “the best and funniest segment we’ve ever recorded”.

The first episode of the very first podcast dedicated to the collecting, trading, and creation of Vinylmation debuted earlier this week, it’s called The Viylmation Station. Super WDWNTunes Saturday will feature the innovative podcast starting at 4:00 PM ET, giving listeners a chance to hear Tom Corless, John Rick, and Scott Smith dissect Disney’s latest collectible craze.

WDWNTunes hosted a live chat on February 10th to give Disney fans a place to communicate live as major announcements were made about the future of the Walt Disney World Resort. While the exciting chat was taking place, a record WDWNTunes audience enjoyed a special mix of Disney audio called “WDW Through the Years”. The music selection took listeners on an audio journey from the opening of Walt Disney World in 1971 to the debut of Disney’s Honorary VoluntEARS Cavalcade in January. The audio was so popular with listeners that we have decided to play it one more time during Super WDWNTunes Saturday beginning at 6:00 PM ET.

The festivities end with a WDWNTunes trademark, “WDWNT Live!”. This is a live interactive program that gives listeners a chance to interact with WDWNT Network staff members from WDW News Today, Disneyland News Today, The Disney Pincast, and The Vinylmation Station, as well as fellow listeners in the chat room.
