Free Stylin' - Now It's YOUR Turn


by Joyce Kessel

Getting to know you, getting to know me!!! 

In most of our recent podcast episodes, we hosted what we're calling the Free Stylin’ format.  In these episodes, we asked each other questions about the Disneyland Resort, and just chatted about our answers. Now, Al and I did not share our answers with one another before the show, so there would be an element of surprise.

Here are some of the questions from the episodes.  We'd LOVE it if you would answer and share your results with us on our Facebook page: Tales from the Mouse House, or by sending us an email to talespodcast@cox.net. We'll compile all the responses and record a special Free Stylin' episode with all of YOUR answers! Don't forget to include your name when you reply!!  Of course, there's no right or wrong answer, just yours! And we'd love it if you could maybe say why you gave a certain answer. Ok, have fun!!

Our dear friend Ragtime Robert has been 'off duty' from the piano at Disneyland due to some health issues lately, so we thought we'd share some of his AWESOME piano skills with anyone who's been missing him - and, if you've never seen or heard Ragtime...WHY NOT?!, Err, I mean, now's your chance to hear the BEST piano player around! - Al

Tales From The Mouse House...Ep 88

Well, welcome to Episode 88 of Tales From The Mouse House Disneyland Podcast!!! YAHOO! We’ve got a special sort of different kind of show for you today! Instead of our usual format, we change things up a bit and launch a (possibly) NEW style - FREE STYLIN’!! We go off script and share some of our favorite things about the Disneyland Resort! You’ve GOT to tune in to this EXTRA LARGE episode to find out!

Ok, we'll give you a hint: we decided to come up with a series of questions, like, what's your favorite attraction, that sort of thing. Then we'll reveal what we answered then discuss. Now, neither of us knows what the other answered so some things may be the same, some different. Joyce came up with this idea, to shake things up a bit and keep things FRESH. So, if you like it, be sure to thank her...WE certainly enjoyed recording this episode! We had a lot of fun and Joyce actually said this was her favorite show to record - out of the MANY, MANY we've done in almost FOUR years!

We'd LOVE for you guys to get in to this fun! How about, after listening, you come up with your own answers to the questions we posed each other and email them to us at talespodcast@cox.net. 

Oh, our GREAT friend Dean Carrington sent us a terrific gift, actually two. He sent us a couple copies of a new Disney Hyperion Publishing book called Big Rig. Dean is friends with the illustrator of this awesome children's book, set in the Cars world, and both are autographed by the narrator! One for us and one for...whoever wins the contest we're launching soon!! So, be sure to keep an ear out!
