Jennifer’s hooked on a couple of guilty pleasure video games: Dance Dance Revolution Disney Grooves, and Toy Story Mania. We’ll talk about them both, and listen to a few of the songs from Disney Grooves.

Where on earth did those awful songs originate? Well, apparently there’s a little album called Mickey Unrapped.
This week, Cat#2 narrates an overview of the Kim Possible Saves World Showcase Adventure now at EPCOT, from last April. Though the audio doesn’t reveal too much of the Mexico or Norway adventure, steer clear if you are uber concerned about spoilers!
We end with a couple of voicemails and non-MFer event updates.

The Hat Box Ghost appears in the vintage Read Along Record of The Haunted Mansion - who knew??
This Halloween extravaganza is bursting with bonus audio – vintage, parks and creations from both TDC’s and our pals… Don’t listen…..ALONE!!!!!!! (insert evil laugh HERE).
Now, to check out some of the references in this weeks show, try some of these links:
Read-Along Adventures - of COURSE you remember this record, right? Check out the link – perhaps you’ve some vinyl to contribute? (hat tip to boing boing for the link)
HM DL? or HM WDW? Raise your hand if you do NOT live for screaming loudly after the words “….there’s always my way!!! Mwahahahahaha!!!” (Now In Stereophonic Surround Sound!). I thought not. For all things HM, I do so enjoy doombuggies.com!

And for anyone who wonders, yes indeed we finally did manage to ride Blanc-Neige et les Sept Nains! Here’s the wait-time sign from rope drop on our fourth day in the park:
The Watchamacallit is an Éclaireur Spatial! But it looks like Space Eclair to our American eyes.
Can you imagine spending a day with Jennifer and the Watchamacallit at Disneyland Paris? Well, you’ll surely be able to after you listen to this week’s show!

We can’t help lapsing into internet memes from time to time, so here’s a couple tidbits to clue you in on what we’re talking about:
Only in Kenya flash animation, which includes a reference to Kenya peeing all over Norway.
Jennifer just can’t get enough of that crazy catchy theme song! So this week, we’re talking about Animagique, one of her favorite attractions at Disneyland Paris’ Walt Disney Studios. We’ll also talk about its sister attraction, Cinemagique, and a few other tidbits about Walt Disney Studios, before listening to a live recording of Animagique.

And hey, when we burst into laughter about the 2D Boo at Tomorrowland Noodle Terrace? Yeah, if you haven’t listened to that episode yet you really need to remedy the situation. Download it now (MP3 link).
D23 inspired The Skurvy Monkeys to send in a D23 review – and in turn, the Cats did a little nugget for them…. And Cat #2 apologizes to the Monkeys for the bad behavior of the Specials who were so intent on drowning out our poor Monkeys at the onset of their segment… eeesh.. And how Alice attacks at the end of our segment… Damn Audacity Beta!!!
Then it’s on to listener feedback via voicemail (we’ve got a poem read by Jeff Wasowski!) and email, even twitter!
Waiting for Fantillusion, after perhaps a bit too much magic
In a nod to the Geek Nights podcast, which Jennifer and the Watchamacallit are inordinately fond of, this week’s show offers helpful guidance on how not to suck at Disneyland Paris.
Download the episode here, or subscribe via iTunes or RSS
The Disney Brit Podcast has ongoing coverage of Disneyland Paris, for those of you who here a little bit on today’s show and get hooked. If you’re heading to Paris, you also might want to check out info on Walt’s American Restaurant on DLP Food Guide, and details on the Annual Passports at DLRP Magic (we recommend the Francilien, which costs less than a two-day park hopper). Or, on another topic entirely, if you didn’t understand the Watchamacallit’s reference to the comfy chair, you owe it to yourself to watch an essential Monty Python scene.
Plus, if you need additional advice on how not to suck at other things, Geek Nights has you covered for a number of subjects:
Finally, I gotta tell you: Those overpriced ponchos from Disneyland Paris sure do come in handy if you’re planning to visit Le Musée des Égouts de Paris. Yeah.
It’s a bit of a departure for us this week, as we discuss Jennifer’s recent trip to ConnectiCon 2009, a multi-genre convention for anime, gaming, web comics, and other geeky pursuits. We do get a Disney angle in here and there of course…..including an interview with TB8673 of the 501st Connecticut Garrison, who we love love love for their participation in Star Wars Weekends and other geek-tastic events!

If you find yourself a little curious about the panel Jennifer co-led with her family, you can check out the slides here…..or just wait a bit, sooner or later we’re gonna have some audio from the panel on a future TDC.
As promised on the show, here’s a fan-made music video from ConnectiCon 2009, featuring footage from Kingdom Hearts. Be sure to watch long enough to catch Mickey, Donald, and Goofy!
And those Halloween pictures we mentioned?
Yo ho, a pirate's life for Lisa!
Just like Marge Simpson, only pink
Finally, a public service announcement: Don’t forget that September 19 is Talk Like a Pirate Day! It’s never too early to start practicing.
IT”S BACK!! Our original PDA (Episode #3 if you didn’t know) show remains our most to downloaded to date – go figure…. In light of events of the past year, Jennifer seeks to discover if Lisa’s strong opinions about PDA in the parks have changed. Some adaptations have been made by Cat #2, but she remains respectful of the Mouse at all times. That is not a euphemism for anything. Additionally, Lisa has put together a revamped remix of Janet Jackson’s Escapade – a Disneyland Escapade if you will! And she doesn’t sing on this one, so you’re safe!
Other tangents include (do keep up, won’t you?):
Centaurs and Old Spice (not Axe)
Cringeworthy memories from the 8th grade
The Savage LoveCast (listen and you will know the answer to “Why Centaurs?” – try episode #131 as a summary – and how to get your own Adam and Eve discount!)
