Welcome to Episode 12 of the Retro Disney World Podcast: "There's No Place Like World Showcase"
- We appreciate your support and hope you have been enjoying each and
every episode. This marks one year of podcasts, so thanks for sticking
with us and supporting this fun endeavour. Be sure to check out some of
our previous shows.  We could have a clip show coming in the near future...Main Topic - We
have a special guest, Glen Simpson, who is on board to discuss his
career at Walt Disney World. He primarily worked at EPCOT Center in the
World Showcase area. Glen also did some work at the Magic Kingdom
starting in 1978 with food service and he was also a Jungle Cruise
skipper. We get some great insight into the opening days of World
Showcase, special guests, and some hilarious mishaps that only a former
cast member would have experience with. Glen is a great resource and we
think you're really going to enjoy this one!  Audio Rewind -
Congratulations to our winner, Michele, she guessed the barker bird
outside Pirates of the Caribbean. Michele will get the Cinderella Castle

view a listener purchased tape, containing B-Roll Epcot Center World
Showcase footage. Being video tape, the quality is lacking and edited to
a level that is as good as it gets. Still a fun movie to watch of old
world showcase. Huge thanks to everyone who donated to our pledge drive,
helping make the major film restoration a reality. Check out Passport2Dreams from Foxxy, who was a huge supporter of this project.Listener Memories - This month we had tons of great singers calling our hotline. They have all been edited together to make one
