Welcome back to another edition of the Disney dish podcast with Jim Hill. It's me,

Lantesta, and this is one of our first shows for December of 2017. It's time to relax

and kick back and think a little bit about what we've done all year and for many of you it's time to drink and forget

Everything that you've done this year and in order to help along with that forgetting we've got an excellent show for you today.

It's a special guest, one of the few guests we've ever had on the show,

and we're going to talk about something very, very interesting.

Before I do that, let me bring in our own little Santa's elf, one Mr. Jim, how's it going?

Exactly. Some drink to remember, some drink to forget, right?

There we go.

And also on the show today we have Gregory Camp, he's our special guest. Dr. Gregory Camp is a lecturer at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. Welcome Gregory.

Thanks, I'm glad to be here.

And the reason why we have Gregory in the show is this.

As you guys know, periodically I go through Google Scholar looking for academics who have done interesting research on the subject of Disney

The Parks.

And I came across an article that Gregory had written in the February 2017 edition of the

Journal of the Society for American Music and it's titled Mickey Mouse

Musak shaping experience musically at Walt Disney World.

Gregory, why do you introduce the premise of the article for us?

Sure.

So this article is looking at how Disney's Imagineers use music to create the guest experience

in their theme parks, especially Disney World, but I look at a little bit at all of them.
