Disney Parks Podcast #0006 – Rick Howard and Amanda Tinney and the Disney Cruise Line

By

Welcome to the Disney Parks Podcast #0006 and we are glad you are here!

We have a GREAT show for you this week.  Disney has released information about The Magic, The Memories, and You, the nighttime projection show at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, and some new additions to the Car Masters Weekend.  And we have Rick Howard and Amanda Tinney discussing Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Fantasy!

So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week’s Disney Parks Podcast!

About Rick

Rick is the president of Kingdom Magic Vacations, and as you might guess, he loves to travel! He and his wife Leslie have two great kids, teens actually, and they love to travel together as a family. Rick and his family love cruising also, and most of all, love Walt Disney World! Rick lives in Vero Beach, Florida, which is about an hour and half away from Walt Disney World, and an hour away from Port Canaveral, the home port for the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy!

About Amanda

Amanda Tinney has been Disney obsessed for over 30 years. Living in Central Florida almost all of her life. Living in such close proximity, Amanda has had the fortune to frequent the Walt Disney World Resort more times than she would care to admit, for fear of being dubbed a Disney Addict. She has seen and experienced almost every resort, restaurant, and attraction that Disney has to offer. If she had it her way she would live in “the World”, but since she can’t…She will just have to go to Disney Every Day!

Song Lyrics for the Orange Bird Song

“Little Orange Bird in the Sunshine Tree
Won’t you think of something sunny just for me?
Think funny thoughts or sunny words
That will make me happy, little Orange Bird
He thinks beautiful orange pictures and beautiful orange words
Though his little feet can’t even make a squeak
All the thoughts he ever spoke appear in orange smoke
That’s what makes Orange Bird unique
When you’re just about green with envy
Or gonna be feeling blue
And you could use
An orange thought or two
When you start in blushing pink
Or your temper turns you red
That is when the Orange Bird
Can see you through
With his beautiful orange feathers
And beautiful leafy wings
He’s a fluffy little puffy sight to see
He can turn your frown around
When you see him looking down
The little Orange Bird up in the Sunshine Tree”
