MNE Ep. 80 “JoBros Demi Lovato Concert and Toy Story 3 Reviews”

We spend the majority of this Magic Never Ends Podcast episode in the past inside the Mobile Studio!  Though this material is old, it is still very enjoyable Will and Shannon material!

Will begins the episode tormenting a memory-impaired Shannon.

We go back to August 14 to hear Will and Shannon’s thoughts on the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato concert.  They are stuck in a traffic jam getting out of the Hershey Park parking lot, so it’s a perfect time to record this concert review.

Next we go WAY back to Father’s Day to Will and Shannon’s thoughts immediately after watching Toy Story 3.  They need to collect themselves so they leave the movie theater and record the majority of their review in the Mobile Studio.  Hear how viewing Disney-Pixar movies has changed for Will and Shannon now that they are parents.  Princess Peanut is never far from their minds so this latest Disney-Pixar movie really pulls on their parent heart.

MNE Ep. 79 “It’s On with Tink and Camp Rock 2″

Will and Shannon are BACK!!  The Magic Never Ends Podcast is back!!  And of course back are the Ramblings and Shenanigans (or really we should say the Shan-nanigans). This is classic Will and Shannon, in-studio Disney fan discussion.  Silliness.  Fairies.  Tween stuff.  Disney Ramblings and Babblings!  We hope you enjoy this enthusiastic return to podcasting!!!

Hear what’s been going on the last two months for Will and Shannon.

Then we dive into our flitterific review of “Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue”.  If this was a video podcast, you’d see Shannon wearing her Tink wings during this discussion!

Finally “It’s On” with “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” as Will and Shannon Embrace their Inner Tween and review the newest Jo Bros / Demi Lovato Disney Channel Original Movie.  We also compare and contrast the two versions of the movie, the original and extended editions.  You can’t talk about a Camp Rock movie without discussing the music!  And this sequel gives us more dancing too!

MNE Ep. 75 “Westfest Toy Story Mania Smackdown”

Will has been procrastinating on this episode for some time now.  Between busy work schedules and trying to get ready for our San Francisco and Disneyland trips, we ran out of time to record an intro.  So we get right into the action!  We like to have some intro banter and updates on Will, Shannon and the Princess Peanut but alas it’s not to be on this episode.

On episode 75 of the Magic Never Ends Podcast you will get DPN Westfest 2009 in-park audio!!! Specifically the Magic Never Ends Toy Story Mania SMACKDOWN event that we hosted (before Matt “The Esquire” used his lawyer powers to wrestle this event from us.   JUST KIDDING!  Matt has the ultimate TSM skillz so thus worthy to host this event)

Hear all the fun, Disney friends can have while waiting for an attraction!

Then we finish this episode with a quick ride on Expedition Everest at the Animal Kingdom park in Walt Disney World.  Shannon gets her first ride on EE post-pregnancy!!  Along side her is our great friend, AussieJohn.

I know…I know… We’re WAAAAYYYY behind…and took another long (unplanned) hiatus.  We begin this episode with life updates, catching you up what we’ve been to these past few months.  We are back to our rambling selves as we might be a bit rusty in podcast.  But this is hopefully why you (in part) tune into Will and Shannon; to hear their fun, witty banter.

This is a longer-show than originally planned…again, the silly rambling took over!  With us being on the hiatus, we had some magic saved up so enjoy this jam packed episode.

The in-park audio begins with a very excited Princess Peanut in line to see Santa Goofy!  It’s a very cute and special vacation memory for Will and Shannon.

Then follow along Will, Shannon and Princess Peanut as we take you to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

The bulk of this episode was recorded back in September.  Eric and Cathy, from the Mouse Guest Weekly Podcast, join to swap stories and share tips about traveling to Walt Disney World with an infant.  We enjoyed sharing experiences with other parents and even learning a few things.

Sorry for the lower audio quality for the Trip Report discussions.  I tweaked it as best as possible given that we had to deal with the background airplane noise.

Princess Peanut and the flight conspire to prevent the Tweens from completing their Trip Report, so look for Episode 69 as they Rewind and Remix all the details from the August WDW 2009 Trip!
