Summary

Lou Mongello has set the gold standard for Disney podcasts. He is not only a podcast host but also an author, entrepreneur, speaker, and lifelong Disney fan. His wildly popular show, WDW Radio, is not only well-known in the Disney community but has also been named the Best Travel Podcast for 9 consecutive years. Lou’s audio tours, Walt Disney World Trivia Book, 102 Ways to Save Money for and at Walt Disney World Book, and his newest book, “The Disney Interviews Volume 1”, will delight and educate any Disney fan, whether you’re new to the Disney community or a lifelong fanatic. His mentorship and consulting opportunities through LouMongello.com, including his Momentum Weekend Workshop and Retreat in Walt Disney World, will help anybody turn what you love into what you do. Perhaps most moving of all, Lou’s Dream Team Project, has helped to raise more than $350,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America. Lou’s mantra to “Choose the Good” is one that he seems to exemplify through his own work. In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Lou about his podcast and his new book. We then spend most of the episode talking about something we both love: food at Walt Disney World. In particular, we count down our top 10 favorite meals at Walt Disney World, including options you can find at Disney Springs, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom, and a few Walt Disney World Resort hotels.

The Hello and welcome to the Imagineer podcast, your unofficial guide to All Things Disney. I'm your host, Matthew Krall, and you're listening

0:40.8

to Episode 94 of the Imagineer podcast. In today's episode, I am so excited for two reasons.

0:48.7

One, I'm going to chat about a topic that I love, which is food at Walt Disney World. We're going to discuss the best

0:55.8

meals you can get at the Walt Disney World Resort between the parks, the resorts, and Disney

1:01.2

Springs. And the second reason I'm excited is because my special guest on this episode is none

1:07.2

other than Lou Mangelo. If you don't know Lou, he is the host of the WDW radio show,

1:13.5

which I have personally been listening to religiously for the last 10 years. He has been the

1:19.3

host of this show since he started it almost 15 years ago at this point. In fact, Lou's show

1:26.5

was the first podcast I discovered and listened to when I

1:29.2

started listening to podcasts 10 years ago. And like I said, I have listened to every episode since

1:35.0

I truly believe Lou has set the gold standard when it comes to Disney podcast, certainly someone

1:40.8

whom I looked up to and continue to be inspired by, of course, his episodes are not only entertaining and informative, but also just a lot of fun.

1:51.7

And he has had some incredible guests on his podcast before. I'm talking about people like Dame Julie Andrews, Kevin Feige, Richard Sherman, the list goes on and on.

2:03.6

And part of the reason I brought him on to this episode with me is because I wanted to talk

2:08.2

to him about his new book, The Disney Interviews Volume 1, which of course we'll talk about

2:12.9

in just a few minutes. But I really hope you enjoy this discussion because I certainly had a blast

2:18.4

getting the chance to chat with Lou, truly an amazing person and such a great and integral part

2:24.2

of the Disney community. So I do believe you will thoroughly enjoy our conversation. Of course,

2:29.9

at the end of the episode, I'll come back and tell you a little bit more about how you can

2:33.3

connect with the Imagineer podcast on all your favorite social media channels and how you

2:38.5

can help to inspire and create the future of this show. Now, normally, I would tell you to
