Hello and welcome to the Diz on Plug roundtable discussion for August 21st, 2007.

From Orlando, Florida, I'm your host Pete Werner joined each week by our Orlando team

including Bob Varley, Julie Martin, Corey Martin, Kevin Close, and John Maynay.

In this week's show, we're going to discuss the top news stories on the Diz including

the latest on rumors of a possible deal with George Lucas to expand his influence at

the Disney Parks.

In this week's dining review, Kevin Close will tell us about his recent visit to the

Nine Dragons restaurant at the China Pavilion in Epcot.

Bob Varley will tell us about the new Space Shuttle simulation attraction at the Kennedy

Space Center and John Maygai will update us on some of the new discounts that are available

in and around Walt Disney World.

All that plus roundtable, rapid fire, and your emails on this week's edition of the

Diz on Plug roundtable.

Now in housekeeping, first I want to offer, I think we all want to offer our congratulations

to Lou Mangelo of WDW Radio.

He was the winner this year of the Best Travel Podcast.

I was glad to see that at least if we didn't win that another Disney podcast did and I

think with the number, especially given the number of Disney podcasts that were nominated

in a few different categories this year, it just shows how strong this community is and

it's creativity and what it's putting into not just websites but podcasts as well.

So congratulations to you Lou, you deserve it, you have a great show, I actually listened

for the first time a few days ago and wonderful show you deserve to win it and we're thrilled
