   Cruisin the Jungle with Dr. Skipper Marley Part 1

   Welcome to yet another episode of What's The Story, today I have former Jungle Cruise skipper David Marley who tells me all about his experience working as a skipper at Disneyland, the books he has and continues to write about, as well as the Disney inspired props that he makes and sells on Etsy. We discuss his time as a skipper and how his experience working in other parts of Disney were not his favorite including why he did not want to be on parade duty. We also talk about which Disney park is his favorite and the reason why it's his favorite as well as some of the jokes he wrote, and his favorite to use during a Jungle Cruise ride. Also, we dive deep into how the skippers are a rare breed in the theme park world currently, from the lines they are able to say, how they can change them, and how it's hard to find a theme park ride that uses real people throughout instead of animatronics. All of that and more in the first part of this episode with the one and only Dr. Skipper Marley! Be sure to check out his Etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/DrSkipper and be sure to follow him on Instagram at dr.skipper.marley for Disney history, updates, merchandise, and more! #junglecruise #disney #waltdisneyworld #disneyland #skipper #books #history #disneyworld #attractions #rides #animalkingdom #magickingdom #partone

   Questions for the Tweedles

   Welcome to another episode of What's The Story, in this unique episode I do not have a live guest but instead a set of questions and answers to read from. A few weeks ago I reached out to Disney super couple Jordi & Bruno otherwise known as DisneyTweedles! After reaching out to them and asking if they would like to be a part of the show, they informed me that English was not their first language and wouldn't necessarily be comfortable being live on camera. So instead I sent them a list of questions I had lined up to ask them live over direct message instead and they responded with their answers which I will be sharing in this special episode. I want to again thank Jordi and Bruno for being super nice and genuine with me and giving me such superfluous answers! Also as an added bonus be sure to check out their own little explorer friend BlueSkyMonster on Instagram! Blueskymonster is a puppet that Jordi and Bruno bring with them to the parks as well as do small skits with on social media! If you wanna know more about the guys and their travels to the Disney Parks, check out @disneytweedles on Instagram! Thanks for listening to this weeks episode and thanks again to Jordi and Bruno AKA DisneyTweedles! #disney #waltdisneyworld #tweedles #international #internationaltravel #blueskymonster #specialepisode #powercouple #magickingdom #traveling
