Welcome to the Monday Morning Monorail Podcast, one of the Best Disney Podcasts, whether your in or outta the parks. Our an unofficial Walt Disney World podcast established by a family of theme park fanatics. We bring you the latest theme park news, tips, and reviews.
The Pod Father
Justin Monorail grew up loving theme parks and has always had a particular passion for the Walt Disney World Resort. In 2019 Justin’s dream came true when he moved his little family from the hills of Tennessee to sunny Central Florida. Now Justin spends his free time in “The Most Magical Place on Earth” and is utilizing his training as an audio engineer to share his passion for the parks with the others through the miracle of podcasting.
Stephers
Stephers, the Universal Studios Orlando expert of the Monday Morning Monorail podcast, has been visiting theme parks since she was a baby. Her favorites include Mulan as her favorite princess, E.T. Adventure as her favorite ride, and a tie between Universal Studios Orlando and EPCOT for her favorite park. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, hosting her bookish podcast, and cuddling her dog, Gimli.
The Doz
Known to rock a microphone, Landon “The Doz” Doane is a lifelong fan of all things Walt Disney & his Magical theme parks. When he has a spare few days, Landon tries to head down to “The House of the Mouse” so he can drink a Kungaloosh in Nomad Lounge, walk the World Showcase (and see his girl, The EPCOT Ball), and enjoy a boat ride through a greenhouse, so he can truly be Living with the Land. And though it’s not an attraction in the “House that Walt Built”, he still mourns the loss of the JAWS ride. When he’s not spending all his money in Orlando, he’s living & dying with all things Tennessee Vols sports, enjoying the sweet science of professional wrasslin’, and being the coolest nerd you’ve never met.
Since 2018, we’ve been creating theme park content that has evolved into several exciting projects. The most rewarding part has been building friendships with listeners from around the world who discovered our podcast, social media accounts, or YouTube channel. We aim to share this inclusive, welcoming community with all of you.

Living with the Landon
The money raised is going to be earmarked for the “Food for Kids” program!
Message from Landon “The Doz” Doane:
I feel very fortunate & blessed in my life, both personally and professionally.
- Personally – I have a loving & supportive family, an amazing group of friends that I’ve made in the traditional way and the not-so-traditional way, like through a podcast talking about wrestling or sports or Disney of all things
- Professionally – I’ve somehow convinced someone to give me a paycheck to have fun behind a microphone with my friends for a living and feel very lucky to be working in radio for a living.
But in both of those instances – I’ve been given a platform. And no matter how big or small the platform is, you should use your platform for good. And I want to use my platform to help some people.
April 1st is my birthday. This year I turned 39 years old, but I want to look ahead to April 1st, 2025 on my 40th birthday. This is a milestone birthday and most people say, “You only turn 40 once”. And I’m generally not one to celebrate or make a big deal out of my birthday, but next year – because of the occasion, I want to do something different.
If y’all know anything about me, you know I love getting down to Orlando and spending my free time in the House of the Mouse at Walt Disney World. And one of my favorite attractions is EPCOT’s Living with the Land, an attraction that tells the history of how Mother Nature has formed the world around us & has worked with us through the history of farming and agriculture and culminates in a luscious, working greenhouse where they grow all sorts of plants and vegetables, that the send around to various restaurants on property and other spots, so not only does this look cool and beautiful as you cruise through on your boat, the food they grow doesn’t go to waste.
And that last thought of “food not going to waste” made me think of one of my favorite organizations in East Tennessee in Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee. This incredible group of people serves 18 counties in East Tennessee, covering over 8,000 square miles and helps combat the over 230,000 East Tennesseeans, from little babies to the elderly, that are experiencing hunger more often than they should. DID YOU KNOW that for every $1 that Second Harvest of East Tennessee takes in in, $0.95 goes to feeding those who need help!
So that gave me an idea. A STUPID idea for a great cause. April 1st, 2025. I, Landon Doane, will rope drop EPCOT and from grand opening to grand closing will ride Living with the Land as many times as I can that day (stopping only for bathroom and food/beverages). So where does Second Harvest come into this? I want to raise money for Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee, so I want to collect pledges for each time I ride LwtL. For example, if you pledge $4 per ride of LwtL and I manage to ride it 11 times on April 1, 2025, you would donate $44 and so forth. And we call it – LIVING WITH THE LANDON
The money I raise is going to be earmarked for the “Food for Kids” program, which provides food challenged children in East Tennessee with a backpack of food over the weekend, to make sure that they have something to eat when they can’t count on the breakfast and lunch they would receive from school. And not only that, but this program continues all year round, meaning these same kids are getting their meals when they are out of school during the summer. A $100 donation can make sure these kids in East Tennessee have food in their backpack during the school year, but also during the summer! It’s incredible what Second Harvest can do with your donations & hopefully this time next year, we can raise a lot of money for these kids.
I’m wanting all the money made off the shirt to go to Second Harvest but we’re still figuring out logistics on that, there may be fundraising goals, I don’t know. I’ve never done anything like this before, so there will definitely be surprises (hopefully good one) along the way, but if you have any questions about this or any advice on pulling something like this off, please let me know. I want to do this the right way and be as transparent as possible about the entire thing. Any money raised for this will go to Second Harvest.
I’ve said it before and I truly believe this – y’all are the best fans in the podcasting game and some of the best people I’ve met. Time to put your money where my mouth is.
Because only then will we truly be Living with the Landon.
XOXO,
THE DOZ
