About Jennifer

I blog for the same reason many other Disney freaks do . . . my family's sick of hearing about it!

TDC #247: Limited Time Magic

Towel Animals

Towel animals are magical for only a limited time. Even if you bring them home. They kinda fall apart eventually.

This show will be magical for only a limited time! Well that’s kind of a lie. It’ll probably be here on the internets forever, long after we’re all gone. Unlike the dragon that flew over Fantasyland for the press that night. Not that we’re bitter or anything.

Jennifer wrote a column on Limited Time Magic for StudiosCental a while back. It’ll probably be around forever too. So you can read it anytime, really. No hurry.

TDC #241: Trains

Magic Kingdom Railroad

This week, we discuss Walt Disney’s love of railroad trains, and other forms of track-based public transit.

This episode was inspired by the book Walt and the Promise of Progress City, by Sam Gennawey. We’ve got an extra copy to give away! To enter the giveaway, go to our Facebook page and comment on the post announcing this episode; after one week, we’ll pick a name at random to win the book.

We also are joined in this podcast not only by Trace and Greg, but also by the loudest pug in the wilderness, Roxxy. She’s especially noticeable at about 21 minutes into the show. Let me tell you, people who are light sleepers should not have pugs in the house.

TDC #238: Brave vs. Wreck It Ralph

The Cats and WatchamaGreg at Reunion 2012

Waiting for the parking lot tram! So very magical!

The WatchamaGreg joins us for a discussion of Brave and Wreck It Ralph. Which deserved the Academy Award? Yes, we’re ridiculously Disney-centric and barely mention the other nominees, other than to say that more people really need to see The Pirates! Band of Misfits, an Aardman Animations tour-de-force.

TDC #231: Hopes for 2013

Sign for many items, including "Frozen Drink."

In 2013, Jennifer hopes never to order something so vaguely-named as “Frozen Drink.”

We have lots of things we hope and plan to do in 2013! We discuss them.

A couple related links:

  • The ConnectiCon convention, where you can meet Jim Cummings, the voice of Darkwing Duck and many others
  • That Guy with the Glasses, home of Nostalgia Critic and Nostalgia Chick, and many many other members of Team Awesome. They review Disney stuff here and there, but Jennifer’s personal favorite is the review of Baby Whatever.

This week’s show is practically like a news round-up, if we were a news show! We talk about the trying-to-go-viral marketing for Believe In Fantasy, and the new Mickey Check system for indicating which kids’ meals are healthier choices.
