Memory 068 – The Liberty Square Riverboat

Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can’t actually be there.

** Binaural Audio **
Time: 29:15

So the pieces are coming together for my trip to Orlando. I have my ticket down purchased, we have plans to be in the park one day with the whole family, and if things go well I will spend a couple evening after the conference in the parks, or at least at the resorts. And what I’d love to hear is would anyone be interested in meeting up sometime between June 10-14? Just email me or call the voicemail line and let me know if you’ll be down there and we can maybe coordinate a get together of some sort.

Now on to the real reason you’re listening. Our request for today’s show came from and email from Michael. He wrote:

I’ve been collecting WDW attraction audio for quite some time, but after recently having my computer wiped out I’ve lost some of my favorite tracks. One of those, and I especially enjoyed listening to it while out in my boat or kayak, was a trip around he Rivers of America onboard the Liberty Belle…

Michael as it turns out, I do have that audio. It’s not source audio, but I think it’s better. It’s in Binaural and it’s live recorded from the parks, which will put you right there.

And as I usually do, I tossed the question out to Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ seeking input from you the listeners, and I got the following responses:

On Facebook, Lisa wrote:

It’s a quiet escape from the rush of the Magic Kingdom. And, as my parent aged, it was an attraction that we could all do together and wanted to!

Dan wrote:

I have no real memories of that attraction but I would love to hear it and have it stored in my collection.

And Joey wote:

I love it, second favorite, my first is the tomorrow land speedway

As I said before, this memory is in Binaural, so headphones on. For this memory, we’re going back to December of 2006 on our anniversary trip. Traci and I have been enjoying our trip, but it’s coming to a close. This is our last day and we’re spending it in the Magic Kingdom. We’ve already had lots of fun in the parks today and we’re looking for a bit of relaxation. Now, I don’t remember ever riding the Riverboat before, so this is a new attraction for me. We’re going to jump into the memory as Traci and I are walking through the loading dock and onto the boat. As we’re waiting to get underway, Traci and do a bit of wandering around looking at plaques, checking out the different views, and really just getting to know the boat. We settle on a spot at the bow of the boat and take a seat on a bench. As the boat gets underway, we’ll move around a bit trying to take in all the views.
