Welcome aboard this week's MouseTunes Disney podcast for some Disney news and a visit to the Walt Disney World Rumor Mill. Lou and Nathan also discuss the of the Year of Million Dream prizes and answer an interesting listener voicemail question, and of course, plenty of Did You Knows and trivia. We also take a virtual ride-through of the world famous Jungle Cruise (headphones recommended for 3D sound), and we talk about the attraction's history, future secrets and trivia. So, please take small children by the hand as you exit the podcast, and watch out for the babbling and movie clips at the end of the show! Please exit the boat and podcast the same way you came in - pushing and shoving the family in front of you...
