WDW Radio Show # 293 - September 23, 2012 - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Interview with Disney Legend Marty Sklar, New Contest and more! Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #293 for the week of September 23, 2012. I'm here to help you have the best possible Disney vacation experience, and bring you some Disney magic to to wherever you are with this podcast, videos, blog, live broadcasts, events, trivia books, CDs and more. You can find it all at WDWRadio.com As we prepare for EPCOT Center's 30th anniversary next week, recently I've shared interviews with Disney Imagineers Tony Baxter on Show 289 and Jason Grandt on Show 291. Today I'm excited to bring you my conversation with the Disney Imagineer who really helped start it all, Disney Legend Marty Sklar. Since joining the Disney Company in 1956, Marty's duties included press and publicity, working at and heading up Walt Disney Imagineering, writing for Walt, and helping to open Disney Parks around the world. In our conversation, Marty recounts stories of his early days at Disneyland, working closely with Walt, the development, genesis and opening of EPCOT Center and much, much more. See how you did on last week's Walt Disney World Trivia Question of the Week and answer this week's challenge for your chance to win a Disney prize package. I'll then have some quick announcements about upcoming events, including what we'll be doing for Epcot's 30th including our annual online Disney charity auction to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, and much more. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show. ------------------------------------- THANK YOU for your support by voting WDW Radio Best Travel Podcast for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011! ------------------------------------- Visit http://WDWRadio.com for our Disney blog, videos, events and more!
