The Big D Podcast

Indiana Jones Adventure is a 4x4 Jeep simulator that takes you deep into the Temple of the Forbidden Eye. Excitement, peril and danger ensue as someone in your tour group looks at the forbidden eye and the Temple God Mara seeks to punish you and your group. Good thing Indy is close by to help your tour get out of danger.

The Big D Episode 46 Remember Dreams Come True Fireworks Spectacular is one of my all time favorite fireworks shows. For those of us who have a deep connection with Disneyland it's hard not to have some nostalgia durring this show.  

This episode was almost entirely shot with an HDSLR except the Big Thunder Mountain sequence as it was not part of the show at recording time. That sequence was added in using old HDV footage. It also features a live mix audio track with gives you the best of both worlds by giving you the live in park audio and studio soundtrack. Most of the Fireworks episodes feature this style of audio. 

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is a new take on an old Disneyland favorite. In 1959 the Original opened and took passengers on a journey under the Arctic Ocean's polar ice cap. The Tomorrowland Attraction stayed open until 1998 but sat dormant until 2005 when construction began for the re-imagneered version showcasing the Pixar Movie Finding Nemo.

In this episode we board the submarine and help Marlin find his son Nemo and experience all the adventures along the way.   

All of the attraction footage was shot using:

Recently Sleeping Beauty's Castle was re-opened to the public with newly updated  dioramas and magical enhancements from the original that opened 1957. It's great to have this walkthrough attraction back! As a child I have many fond memories of being able to go up and through the Castle. While it is clear that this is not an E-ticket it has the charm and the magic that makes Disneyland so special.

In 2008 I was in Disney World and captured some of the night time Christmas extras that the resort puts on display. For me these are some of the great times I reflect back on when I need an escape to the Parks. This year I was unable to join my friends attending the DPN World Holiday events but putting this help with managing the disappointmentdisapointment of missing the event.

I hope this Episode will help those of us that wished we were in the parks during the holidays and helps those who have just been reflect on the great times they had.

The Parade of Dreams was Disneyland's 50th Celebration Parade. This Episode was recorded about a month before the parade finished it's run. As parades go it was a pretty decent parade and I am not a huge fan of parades.

I hope you enjoy this episode!
