Exciting News Additions Coming to WDW News Today

WDWNT on March 20, 2008

BRONX, NY—Since its inception almost a year ago, WDW News Today has strived to bring news and information about the Walt Disney World Resort to those planning a visit to the Orlando Vacation Kingdom. Over the last eight months, WDWNT has launched the very successful WDW News Today podcast, the WDW News Today Community Forums, The Disney Pincast, and Disneyland News Today, all of which are focused on bringing readers and listeners closer to various aspects of the Walt Disney Company. Continuing our phenomenal expansion and growth, WDW News Today is pleased to announce several exciting new additions and recognitions.

WDW News Today is thrilled to welcome John Corigliano as a permanent addition to our staff. John comes to us from Mousetimes.com, where he was the host of the popular Mousetimes Podcast and Vidcast. In addition to joining Tom Corless as host of the WDWNT Podcast, John will also be providing WDWNT with his entire library of Walt Disney World videos. With the acquisition of John’s collection of almost 300 videos, WDW News Today will become home to the largest collection of Walt Disney World videos on the internet. To revolutionize access to this comprehensive collection, we are introducing a new way to watch these videos called “WDWNTube”. This new service will be similar to the popular video-sharing website “Youtube.”. The addition of John Corigliano to the WDW News Today family ushers in a new generation of entertainment and information for our readers and listeners.

WDW News Today also announces an expanded partnership with our official travel agent, Mouseketrips, “the web’s best source for Disney travel.” As part of this new pact, Mouseketrips now sponsors WDW News Today, Disneyland News Today, The WDW News Today Community Forums, The Disney Pincast, and WDWNTube. To enhance our offerings even further, we have added a travel planning section to our community forums. Representatives from Mouseketrips will be available to answer questions and help plan your next trip to the Walt Disney World Resort, the Disneyland Resort, and the Disney Cruise Line. Through this continued partnership, WDW News Today and Mouseketrips will not only help you plan your trip, but save you money as well.

The WDW News Today family of websites and podcasts always strives to entertain and inform you. From our mentions in the Los Angeles Times to our prominent listings on Itunes, our many achievements would not be possible without our wonderful readers and listeners. We thank them for your continued support as we promise to continue to “Bridge the Gaps Between You and the World”

Toy Story Mania and WDW News Today in the News

WDWNT on March 19, 2008

All of us here at WDW News Today were over-joyed to discover that we were recently mentioned and linked to by the Los Angeles Times pertaining to Toy Story Mania. The article also features the very first review of the attraction, even though it is a review of the California Adventure version rather than the Walt Disney World version that will debut at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in May. You can read the LA Times review and check out our link by going HERE.

DLNT Site Update

WDWNT on February 26, 2008

We’ve been going through a few Administration problems here on the site. One problem was that all posts were changed to show SparkyLD as the poster, but he only wrote these 2 posts. So all posts that aren’t on the main page right now, show Sparky as the writer. But don’t worry, we’ll try to have that & all other problems fixed by tonight!

WDWNT Gains Exclusive Rights to Broadcast Parade

WDWNT on December 24, 2007

LAKE BUENA VISTA,  Fla.— Move over Regis and Kelly, a new Christmas Day Walt Disney World tradition has begun. While the long running Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade taped in early December airs on ABC this Christmas morning, another parade will be making its way down Main Street U.S.A. at the Magic Kingdom. The first annual Christmas Podcast Parade will be broadcast live from Walt Disney World on Christmas day, but it won’t be on any television station. The parade’s creator, Tom Corless, has received the exclusive rights to broadcast the parade on episode 23 of his popular WDW News Today podcast. “Being the creator of this new parade, I felt that I should be the only one airing it, plus, no television channel wanted a parade full of internet stars”, said Corless.

While many people are not aware of the stars of this particular parade, to thousands of Disney fans, they are pseudo-celebrities. Jason Diffendal, Adam Roth, Luke Manning, Steve Swanson, Tom Corless, Brian Sommer and John Corigliano are among the notables from the Disney Online Community to have their own float in this holiday parade. Another star of the community will be taking hosting duties, but he will only be the co-host of a podcasting newcomer, Larry Mongello. McLamb of the Disney News Weekly Podcast gives most of the spotlight to Mongello, who is looking to step out of his brother’s shadow. “With all of my brother Lou’s success, its been hard for me to find my spot in this community”, said Larry. Well, Larry will not have to share the fame this time around, his brother Lou could not make it to the parade due to a scheduling conflict.

This upstart holiday event has garnered some major attention from some big stars, and some people are even looking at this as an opportunity to save face. While Amy Adams and Roz appear in the parade to bask in their fame, Spaceship Earth narrator Judi Dench and Walt Disney Imagineering are using this chance to win over the people. Siemens and WDI have spent the last 6 months working on Spaceship Earth at Epcot as well as a corresponding float for this parade. Judi Dench will ride upon this float in an attempt to gain some good publicity for the attraction, which has been the butt of many jokes over the last few weeks since reopening from its lengthy refurbishment.

Will Larry Mongello become the next big star in the Disney Online Community? Will Disney fans learn to communicate with the new lackluster Spaceship Earth? Will John Corigliano wake up in time for the parade? The only way to find out is to tune in to episode 23 of the WDW News Today podcast on December 25th, 2007 for the First Annual Christmas Podcast Parade live from the Walt Disney World Resort.
