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.

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.

DPN Management Hand Over
The Disney Podcast Network recently announced a change in day-to-day management. In a statement released by Jeff from Houston (DPN Founder and host of the Meandering Mouse Podcast) on the DPN Forums, he speaks of the change:
“Presently, my personal life hasn’t left me with what I need to
continue nurturing The DPN. My involvement has been beyond minimal.
Thankfully, others have taken up the slack and we have gotten along.
It’s clear that this is not enough anymore.”
“To bolster The DPN’s community and to move things forward, I have
decided to hand management of The DPN over to one of my long time
friends in the Disney podcasting world. Mike from Micecast. Mike has
always carried a passion for The DPN community and truly cares about
it’s future. Mike has been involved in helping organize many events
at Westfest and has been a solid friend and member of The DPN family
since its inception. I have all confidence in Mike making The DPN a
more dynamic place to gather by making some much needed changes in the
way we communicate and gather together online.”
Please stop by the DPN Forums today to read the Jeff’s full post as well as the feedback from the DPN Community. We encourage you to leave your thoughts in the forum thread.
We at The Magic Never Ends Podcast give MUCH THANKS to you ,Jeff, immensely for your time and dedication to the DPN. The DPN Community is an amazing place. We have always felt at home there and have met some wonderfully amazing friends there!
Back by Popular Demand..it’s the ATDG Voicemail Line!
Our good friend Keegan at The Adventures of a Teenage Disney Geek Podcast has re-established his voice mail line!
He posted today on his section of the DPN Forums:
So I’ve gotten some requests to bring the voicemail line back…you kids should have thought about that before it got deactivated the first two times but anyway, it’s back! Call it!
206-984-1689
So make sure you call it TODAY. Let him some feedback on his show. Call in a funny message. But make sure you tell him, Will and Shannon from The Magic Never Ends Podcast told you to call! LOL

Westfest 2009 Master Planning Spreadsheet Revealed!
Will and Shannon’s proposed Westfest 2009 itinerary. As always, it is subject to change. But this is how it looks pre-trip.
What is the Master Planning Spreadsheet?
The Master Planning Spreadsheet (MPSS) is how Will plans out his trip itineraries to Walt Disney World and Disneyland. It takes into account park hours (including Extra Magic Hours), dining reservations, shows, park rehabs, and special events. This allows Will to feel as if he can Embrace the Magic as much as possible!
It doesn’t plan out to the second park touring though. Its purpose is to establish blocks of activity time.
It may sound obsessive. It may sound insane! But it works for those that use it correctly. Ask anyone that has toured a Disney park with Will and they all agree to the funness and practicality of the Master Planning Spreadsheet.
What’s the Focus of this MPSS?
Although we’re going for DPN Westfest, this trip is still a family vacation. We don’t have an opportunity to visit Disneyland very often so we need to find a good balance between Westfest meets and family park time.
We might be able to make more Westfest meets. We might not be able to make Rope Drop every morning or stay until park close every night.
But this is the plan pre-trip. More likely, this is the hope of what we can accomplish on the trip. As time and circumstances dictate, plans change so things could get dropped or added.
Are You Attending Westfest?
You should be attending!! We hope to see you in the park. Especially at the meets hosted by the Magic Never Ends and the Travelears! Those are sure to be most fun!!!
Visit DPNWestfest.com for more information, including event schedules and media from past Westfests.
Unfortunately, we probably will be unable to add you to any dining reservations, but we would encourage you to make your own reservations!

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.
