About the Podcasters
The Laughing Place podcast is handled by a round table of four Disney fans:

Doobie is the host of the show and the co-owner of LaughingPlace.com. Doobie has been a Disney fan since 1995 and has visited Disneyland and Walt Disney World literally thousands of times though he's never worked there. His favorite attractions are Tower of Terror and the Haunted Mansion, and he loves Fantasmic! and Lights! Motors! Action! (and any show with exclamation points). But ultimately, Doobie knows it's all about the food. His favorite Disney experience is Disney's Princess on Ice.

Rebekah is the other co-owner of LaughingPlace.com and Doobie's wife. She's a life-long Disney fan who's also visited Disneyland and Walt Disney World thousands of times. She's a big fan of the 70s Disney, especially the 70s Mickey Mouse Club. Her daily job at LaughingPlace.com requires her to keep her finger on the pulse of all things Disney. The best little-known Disney film she's introduced her husband to is Greyfriars Bobby.

Captain Jon is another life-long Disney fan who comes at things from a slightly younger point of view. He's especially adept at dreaming up new Disney attractions, but ultimately, he's a pirate with all that that entails. His favorite movie is, of course, Pirates of the Caribbean. He also handles one of the most popular parts of the show, the Captain's Challenge.

FanBoy is beyond description. Fanatic is far too mild a word to describe his feelings towards Disney. But unlike most fans, he brings a business background with him that allows him to look at things from several perspectives ... and still invariably come up with the wrong opinion. His favorite Disney movie? Whichever one made the most money .... and Underdog.
