**Binaural Audio** Time: 14:04 Alright, it’s been almost a month, and I’ve been slacking off. I’m sorry. In any case, today’s Memory is a good one. It was requested by Kirsty of Norwich, England. She wrote in and said: My request is not a ride or an attraction, so to say, its more of entertainment; my request is the Dapper Dans. Again, during my recent visit, we saw these guys for the first time, on the last day of our holiday. They were so great, even posing for photos while they were singing! Kirsty also went on to ask for a second musical act which we’ll get to in a later show. Unfortunately Kirsty, the Magic Kingdom is the one park I don’t have much as far as street entertainers from. I will recommend my buddy Brian from the Mousin’ It Up Podcast as a great resource for these guys. That said, I do have some audio of the Dapper Dans. In fact, I’ve got two memories for us to enjoy. The first memory is in stereo and is an abbreviated one. It was recorded on a trip I took back in 2001. It was a blustery afternoon with a storm rolling in as I entered the Magic Kingdom. After passing under the Railroad, and around the main square, I saw them up ahead on the corner. They were already started, so I missed the beginning of the set. And unfortunately because of that storm, I had to leave early, so we’ll get a couple of songs. The second memory is also an abbreviated one, though this one’s from the anniversary trip in 2006, and therefore in Binaural. It’s a beautiful morning as we enter the Magic Kingdom, and like every other morning, you’ll find the Dan’s singing to guests as you walk down Main Street. Again, we stop only for a few songs, cause otherwise we’ll have to wait forever for Space Mountain. Of course as we walk up, the Dans started talking to us, asking us where we’re from. They’re just so much fun. Unfortunately they couldn’t think of any songs about North Carolina, but that doesn’t stop them from singing.

**Binaural Audio** Time: 23:21 Today’s Memory was requested by Nick from London, he wrote: As for a request I would love to hear Big Thunder Mountain (including queue music) also definitely if you could walk down the tunnels of Space Mountain!! So I would definitely like to request Big Thunder and Space Mountain!! He went on to explain: I personally like Big Thunder and Space Mountain for the inside queue area music are among the best at WDW! Firstly Space Mountain – I don’t think you can beat the sounds of the tunnels as you proceed towards the loading area – it is so deep and mystic! Brings back a flood of memories from when I first went on it at 9 years old – both petrified and excited. Same goes for Big Thunder – I love queuing here especially early in the morning as the day warms up!, the sound of bluegrass and the distant sound of trains and the Mississippi river boat horn just put you in the old west! Nick, your wish is my command. I’m with you. I just didn’t realize how much that music puts me back in the Magic Kingdom. It’s so simple, but that’s what I’m trying to share here. It’s these Memories that trigger emotions and thoughts of fun and happy times, be it from child hood, or your trip last week. It’s always fun to go back and look forward to your next return. So today’s memory is again in Binaural, so headphones on. It was recorded on our anniversary trip in 2006. As we slip into this memory, we’re just entering the line and walking up the hill. You’ll hear the music pick up as you look out over sculpted mountain that resembles something from Monument Valley National Park. As you watch a couple coasters fly by, reaching a top speed of 40 miles per hour, you’ll hear the screams of the riders. I think we had fast passes, cause we don’t spend too much time in line, and we’re soon being ushered into our spots, but let’s take the very front instead. So we get to wait an extra cycle, and then we’re off. Next we’ll be transported to our second memory of the day, a ride on Space Mountain. It’s mid-day and the sun was bright, so as we get inside, you’ll hear Traci and I discussing how dark it really was inside. You’ll get to hear about 2 minutes of queue music, and then I’ll cut us to the front of the line. It’s our turn to ride this attraction build first for Walt Disney World. We climb in and are taken up to the top of the track, past the space men, then it’s blast off into the darkness, only reaching a top speed of 28 miles per hour this time.

**Binaural Video** Time: 10:54 12 Days of Christmas, Memory 12, Magic Kingdom Christmas Tree Lighting: On the night of our Anniversary in December 2006, we had a bit of time before our dinner reservations at the California Grille, so we rode the monorail over to the Magic Kingdom and caught the Christmas Tree lighting ceremony that occurs at the head of Main Street. Join us tomorrow for our Final Christmas Memory. http://www.wdw-memories.net/DetailsAttractions.aspx?ParkID=1&ID=252

**Binaural Audio** Time: 54:41 12 Days of Christmas, Memory 11, Epcot Candlelight Service: Today we’re going to attend the Epcot Candlelight service. It’s a beautiful evening and we take our seats in the middle of the theater near the trees. Our guest host tonight is one of mine (and Traci’s) favorite Christian artists, Steven Curtis Chapman. The announcer comes on, and the orchestra begins their holiday medley as the show begins. Join us tomorrow for our next Christmas Memory. http://www.wdw-memories.net/DetailsAttractions.aspx?ParkID=2&ID=102 http://www.stevencurtischapman.com/

**Binaural Audio** Time: 13:58 12 Days of Christmas, Memory 10, 4 For a Dollar: As we exited the backstage tour, what do my wondering ears should hear but 4 men singing in perfect harmony. That’s right 4 For A Dollar was performing in the flatbread grille area, to a less than enthusiastic crowd. Traci and I quickly high-tail it over and take a seat near the front. The guys sing 3 more songs to which Traci and I are quite amazed. Afterwards, all four of them walk over to us and chat with us for about 2 minutes (which you’ll get to hear at the end of the recording). Fortunately for us, nobody else was really paying them much attention, because they are one of the best musical groups in all of Walt Disney World, and we got almost a private showing. Anyways, here’s 4 For a Dollar. Join us tomorrow for our next Christmas Memory. http://www.wdw-memories.net/DetailsAttractions.aspx?ParkID=3&ID=253 http://www.return2zero.net/
