If you haven't seen it yet, the "American Idol Experience" has its soft opening at Disney's Hollywood Studios this week for cast members only, and it will not be open to the general public as of February 14th, which is about two weeks away for its opening day.

I listened to "Inside the Magic" this week where host Ricky Brigante talks about his thoughts on this new attraction, the "American Idol Experience". It's from show #199 of "Inside the Magic", if you want to listen to this week's show about the "American Idol Experience", download this one or right click "Save Target As" for this file, after download is complete, go to 18:08 of this clip if you have an iPod or MP3 player to hear a segment on this new attraction.
