Episode #167 - The S.S. Disney Story with Author Jim Korkis

  

Welcome to episode #167!

On this new episode, we go back in time to share with you the incredible story of the S.S. Disney. Did you know that The Walt Disney Company were making plans to build a Disney floating theme park that would sail around the world? In fact, they were going to have their own "Disney Navy" of support ships that would bring the magic of Disney to countries that had no Disney theme parks.

Author Jim Korkis shares the facilitating story of the S.S. Disney and gives us a deep dive what their amazing plans were and what ultimately stop them from building this floating theme park.

We hope you will enjoy this story of maritime history that almost came into reality.

Also, if you love Disney history and stories, be sure to check out all of

Episode #144 - Cruising Back In Time: The Queen Mary and Port Disney Sea Long Beach Project

Welcome to episode #144!

How in the world did The Walt Disney Company come into possession of the famous cruise liner, the Queen Mary, Howard Hughes Spruce Goose airplane and over 200 acres of surrounding land at the port of Long Beach, California? Did you know that for many years they operated the Queen Mary and had plans to build a theme park, hotels, restaurants, a marina, a cruise ship terminal and even a monorail and more? 

Well, we are going to "cruise back in time" with Disney historian and author, Jim Korkis to tell us this fascinating and detailed story.  This was a monumental and amazing project that Disney wanted to construct. It would have been the most incredible Disney project ever and Jim has all the unbelievable information and why it was ultimately abandoned. 

Jim is author of over 30 books and has worked for The Walt Disney Company in many different and interesting capacities. If you are interested in Disney history and what goes on behind the scenes, Jim definitely always has a wonderful story to share.

Episode #126 - Name That Ship!

Welcome to episode #126!

We have had a whirlwind of things going on in our lives the last few weeks, but we are so glad to be with you and share some cruising goodness and fun.

On this new show, we share an update on Hurricane Florence and her impact on cruise ships and itineraries on the East coast. This is one of many storms that the weather services are tracking over the next few weeks. So if you have a East coast or Caribbean cruise coming up soon, be sure to keep your heads up! 

Our show topic this week is "Name That Ship!" 

Recently, it has been announced that a couple of cruise ships are moving to a sister cruise line, refurbished and renamed and that got me thinking. If we had the opportunity to name ship for a cruise line, what would that be and maybe some ideas on the theming. So Scott and I have come up with some "interesting" ideas. 

Would you cruise on our cruise ships? Let us know what you think! 

We hope you enjoy the new show!

Tommy & Scott
