Disney Avenue Podcast
Hello my friends and welcome to one of the most exciting shows in the history of the Disney Avenue Podcast. Today’s guest is no stranger to the Disney community and has always been a man on the move. For nearly 40 years, he has helped move countless Disney theme park guests aboard vehicles and ride conveyances of his own design. As he’s often stated, “If it moves on wheels at Disneyland, I probably designed it.” And he certainly has. He has developed more than 100 designs for attractions ranging from Autopia and Matterhorn Bobsleds to the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Monorails. He...

Show #20 - Interview with Disney Legend Charlie Ridgway
Disney Avenue Podcast
Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Disney Avenue Podcast. On today's show, host Keith Mahne is joined by MiceChat CEO Dusty Sage for an amazing interview with Disney Legend Charlie Ridgway. Before Charlie was hired as a cast member under Walt, he promoted Disneyland as a news reporter. During 1954-55, while the Park was still under construction, he authored some of the very first articles about Disneyland to appear in any of the major metropolitan newspapers. He also covered Disneyland’s grand opening celebration on July 17, 1955. Eight years later, he joined the Park’s...

info_outlineWelcome friends to another episode of the Disney Avenue
Podcast. As you all know, the Disney community is unlike
any other. It's filled with amazing people who love to help each
other out and enjoy reveling in the magic together. Although we are
all different, we all share and have experienced that feeling you
get when you walk into a Disney Park. We all know that feeling of
safety and escape it provides us. Someone who really appreciates
that comfort is a wonderful man named Guy Spagnoli. Guy is a
Vietnam veteran, and just like all of our service men and women, is
a hero in my opinion. Guy is currently the subject of a documentary
in production called Keep Moving Forward about his
struggles with PTSD and how he uses Disney to self-medicate. I
think it's an important story to be told and one we can all relate
to which is why I’ve invited Guy and the producers of this
heartfelt documentary, Brent and Emily on the show so that you can
hear from them personally and understand why this project is so
important. It is with great honor and respect to welcome Guy
Spangnoli and the producers of the documentary Keep Moving
Forward, Brent Bandemer and Emily Strong to the Disney
Avenue Podcast….Enjoy!
The Disney Avenue Podcast would like to thank our
producer Geren Piltz and our graphic designer Brian
Vermillion for their contributions to this show!
