Lou Mongello’s Audio Guide to Walt Disney World

Delivers the Sights of Walt Disney World® Directly to Your Ears

Scotch Plains, NJ, January 2, 2008 — If you have ever visited the Walt Disney World® Resort, you may have seen something there and wondered “why did they do that?” Such as, “Just who are those people whose names appear on the windows?” or “Wasn’t something different located here years ago?” Or perhaps you haven’t seen it at all, because you have a visual impairment, or you are planning your very first trip to the vacation kingdom.

The recently released Lou Mongello’s Audio Guide to Walt Disney World: Main Street U.S.A. is like having your own personal tour guide who narrates your way through the Disney theme parks. Written and narrated by Lou Mongello, the author of the Walt Disney World Trivia Books, volumes 1 and 2, and host of the award-winning WDW Radio Show podcast, the Audio Guide describes in detail the history, trivia, hidden treasures, and overlooked details of the Walt Disney World® Resort. Main Street U.S.A. is the first in what will be a series of CDs, covering each land of the Magic Kingdom®, Epcot®, Disney’s Hollywood Studios®, and Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Parks.

Designed to be enjoyed at home, on the way to, or while at the Walt Disney World® Resort, the Audio Guide can enhance the listener’s theme park experience. In the first installment, first-time visitors and veterans alike will learn something new about Main Street U.S.A., the richly detailed but often overlooked land that comprises the entrance to the Magic Kingdom®. The Audio Guide encourages the guest to slow down a little, look around, and appreciate the amazing amount of history and detail that create a unique sense of place and time in this recreation of a turn-of-the-century town.

Guests with a visual impairment will appreciate how Mongello’s descriptions of the sights are detailed and informative. The narration paints a virtual ‘audio picture’ of the area, enhancing one’s experience. Additionally, the narrative is enriched with binaural ambient sounds, giving the sense of truly walking around the Disney theme park, hearing the horse-drawn trolley passing by and the sweet sounds of the barbershop quartet in the distance. The first-time visitor will find the Audio Guide series invaluable for planning their vacation, helping prepare them for making the most of the magical trip ahead.

Rich Koster, owner of the Disney Echo website, says, “I was imagining I was walking with Lou from the Magic Kingdom entrance plaza, pausing to look at Roy Disney's brick, then with him through the entrance tunnel under the WDW Railroad and into Town Square, enthralled all the way listening to the tour and picturing in my mind's eye what I had seen there in person countless times before but never really ‘seeing’ it in detail before. Lou opened my eyes even wider than they had been before with his extensive descriptions and background to that part of The Vacation Kingdom.”

Mike Scopa, contributor to the AllEarsNet.com website, adds, “I found it both entertaining and educational. [Lou] hit everything so well that this CD will appeal to both the first time visitor and veteran WDW guest... I have found that the dialogue works well regardless of whether you are listening in the car or actually walking on Main Street...”

Shelly P. recently listened to Lou Mongello’s Audio Guide to Walt Disney World: Main Street U.S.A. and said, “My husband and I are both vision impaired and it really brought new perspective to the Disney experience… I can't wait to walk down Main Street and find the many things [Lou] covered.”

Lou Mongello’s Audio Guide to Walt Disney World: Main Street U.S.A. is available through the Disney World Trivia website http://www.disneyworldtrivia.com. The CD is just $9.99. A downloadable version is also available at the same website.
