From the Bob Barley Studio in Orlando, Florida, you're listening to the Diz Unplugged.

Hello and welcome to the Diz Unplug Roundtable discussion for May 27, 2009. From Orlando, Florida, I'm your host Pete Werner.

I'm going to join this week by my good friends, Kathy Whirling, Julie Martin, Corey Martin, Kevin Close, and John Meijai, Teresa Eccles, and Walter Eccles are back in the peanut gallery this week.

In this week's show, we'll talk about our experiences on the podcast crews a few weeks ago, which feels like it's been months since we got off the ship.

It's rain since we got off the ship.

It's been biblical since we got off the ship. We'll also have details about our next podcast crews and some other events that we have planned for

for the upcoming year.

This special correspondent, Dave Parford, has his interview with Star Wars Peter Meiju, the man who played Chubaka in the first three Star Wars films, and Kathy Whirling reports on this year's Star Wars Weekends, all that plus Roundtable Rapid Fire, and this week's edition of the Diz Unplugged.

I am completely out of practice doing this show.

Welcome to the show everybody. I first want to apologize for not having a show up last week.

I had some drama with all the rain we were getting. I was having issues with the house that just precluded me from being able to do the show.

I do apologize for that, and I think everybody needed a break after the podcast crews anyway, so I think it worked out well.

But we are refreshed and relaxed and back. I missed doing the show.

Really, we haven't done an email show in a couple of weeks, we haven't.

We're slackers.

All right, a couple of things that I want to just talk about in housekeeping first.

I mentioned on the podcast crews that we are putting together a backstage torque in California.

I do have some details on that. The date will be June 20th. It's a Saturday.

At Disneyland, 9 a.m., and the price will be $129 per person for a three and a half hour behind the scenes tour at Disneyland.

This is being done by the Disney Institute and the general idea behind this tour, and that's a farce that everybody hears in the background making all that noise.

The general idea behind this tour, Disney Institute does everything on leadership and all that good stuff.

So there's kind of an overarching theme here about how they've used different leadership strategies to make some things happen in the Magic King or in Disneyland Park.
