Who and Benedict and beyond?

So enjoy these beautiful creatures as they soar into your hearts.

On their lights, their lights of wonder.

We're incredibly proud of the fantasy which builds on the creativity, innovation and artistry,

the hallmarks of not only the Walt Disney cruise line, but of the Walt Disney Company.

To hear how the story goes, go ahead and push my nose.

Hello my friend and welcome to the WW radio show, Your Walt Disney World Information Station.

I am your host Lou Manjello and this is show number 615 and everyone's again at only to help you have the best Disney vacation experience.

When you go to the parks, but I also want to bring you some of the Disney magic wherever you are with the podcast, live video broadcasts on Facebook, every Wednesday night, videos, blogs, books, audio tours and more.

Whether it's your first time visiting where you've been hundreds of times, if you're planning a vacation or love the history, details, secrets and stories,

there's something in the show for you because each week I'm going to take you from the parks to the screens and everything in between.

And if you're a new listener, thank you, welcome. Please go back and check out some or all the past episodes for interviews, top tens, reviews and more.

So I'm going to continue my conversation with Joe Lansicero, former senior vice president of Creative at Walt Disney Imagining as we journey to Tokyo Disney C, discuss the S.E.A. and the unique take there on the Tower of Terror.

We'll also discuss what almost became of the muppets in the Disney parks, Howard Stark and Walt Disney, Marvel, Technology, his work on designing and reimagining the ships of Disney Cruise Line and more.

While then at the Antitour last Walt Disney World, trivia question of the week and I'll pose a new challenge, if you're a chance to win a Disney Prize package, then stay tuned to the end of the show for information, updates, your voice mails and more, so sit back, relax and enjoy this week's episode of The WDW Radio Show.

So I'm excited to continue our conversation with Joe Lansicero, former senior vice president of Creative at Walt Disney Imagining.

Joe, I want to first thank you and welcome you back to the show.

It's great to be back and thank you for welcoming me back a second time.

I said that we could talk for hours, we probably could, but also the underlying S.E.A., Society of Explorers and Adventure storyline. And I want to revisit that briefly and go back really to sort of where it all began, which also happens to be my favorite park.

And a culture, again, we talked a lot about culture on the cultural differences and the culturally different take that you and imagining had to take on one of the new classics as a war of attractions created by Imagine for the Disney Parks, the Tower of Terror.

Again, a different way like Mystic Manor, a different way of telling sort of a haunted mansion story. Here you had a different way of having to tell a tower of terror story because the Twilight Zone TV show itself was not something that played or was popular or really was well known in Japan at all.
