When I think of Disneyland and big time Disney fans, 2 of the first names I think of are Dave (@daveifornia) and Q (@qs_trips). If someone asked me to come up with a list of 10 MUST FOLLOW IG accounts to recommend someone new just coming into the world of the online Disney community should follow, Dave and Q would both be on that list for me. Not only do Dave and Q both make great content, but these guys are 2 of the kindest and most supportive people you can meet in the entire Disney fan base. I am absolutely honored that they both were willing to come on my podcast for this episode, and that they both agreed to come back for the idea I have for my 100th episode as well. We had a bunch of laughs recording this episode, I cannot wait to get them back on again so we can do it all over again!FOLLOW Dave on Instagram: @daveiforniaFOLLOW Q on Instagram: @qs_tripsAlso make sure to go check out Q's website: www.qspics.comQ posts his incredible and breathtaking Disney photographs there and makes it super easy for you to be able to purchase your favorite.The DMSW Podcast is proud to be a podcast partner with the ConciEARS Travel Agency!

The road to 100 series continues to roll down the tracks and tonight I could not be more excited to introduce you all to this group of Idiots. Don't worry though, for this group, that word is actually a compliment because on this episode I welcome on Kaity, Marissa, and Stephen from the Idiot's Guide to Imagineering. This trio have quickly become some of my best friends in this Disney podcasting and Disney Instagram community. I have had the honor of being invited onto their show 4 times now, twice as a guest judge/panelist, and twice as a project presenter. Their show does a lot of armchair imagineering content, and they also do an interview series with past Disney Imagineers, but most importantly they will make laugh each and every week, and you will feel like you are making new Disney friends every time you listen to their show. I cannot wait to get the crew back on the show again in just a few weeks!Follow their podcast on Instagram: @idiotsimagineeringFollow Kaity on Instagram: @itsmekaityFollow Marissa on Instagram: @mzuck89Follow Stephen on Instagram: @heystephen_Check out the Idiots' website: idiotsimagineering.comLook them up on Spotify, follow them, and leave them a 5 star rating: Idiot's Guide to ImagineeringFind them on Apple Podcasts, subscribe, leave them a 5 star rating, and write a review: Idiot's Guide to ImagineeringThe DMSW Podcast is proud to be a podcast partner with the ConciEARS Travel Agency!

Things are picking up steam now in The DMSW Podcast Road to 100 series! Alex from the Main Street Mechies Podcast joins us for the 2nd episode release of this week. Alex cohosts his show with his Disney bestie Noah, and the majority of their episodes are Armchair Imagineering focussed, but they also do a great job with their trip reports, inviting special guests on and interviewing them, as well as playing games and talking Disney current events as well. Alex and Noah run a quality show top to bottom, they have great banter and rapport with each other, and they put out some content on Instagram that you just cannot find anywhere else in the Disney space right now. I had a ton of fun talking with Alex for this episode, and cannot wait to have him come back on the show with Noah in just a few weeks.Follow Alex on Instagram: @mainstreetmechiespodcastFollow Noah on Instagram: @dearimagineerSubscribe, Rate, Review, and Listen to their show on Apple Podcasts: Main Street MechiesFollow, Rate, and Listen to their show on Spotify: Main Street MechiesSupport Alex, Noah, and their podcast by buying their merch here: Main Street Mechies on RedbubbleThe DMSW Podcast is proud to be a podcast partner with the ConciEARS Travel Agency!

Not a lot of bells and whistles needed for this description. It's a good old fashioned rankings type of podcast episode, and I give my Top 10 Disney Animated movies of all time. I throw a few honorable mentions out there, and I also list the animated movies I have still some how some way not found a chance to watch yet. This was a fun episode topic to discuss, but enjoy this solo hosted episode, because its going to be the last one for a pretty long stretch coming up. I have been working hard behind the scenes to line up a BUNCH of fantastic guests for you guys to listen to, and I am also in the podcast secret lab working on a project for my 100th episode that I really hope you will enjoy as well.

Well it's been a long time since we've had to do a "You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?" episode, but this one has been brewing for a few weeks behind the scenes. It started with the announcement that Mando was not coming back for a 4th season and instead was being made into a movie. Then out of nowhere Disney dropped the announcement that we were going to get Moana 2 as a movie, in November of this year. Having to watch the Chiefs win another championship, along with the combo of a Disney+ commercial near the end of the game pushed me over the edge though, and driving home I knew the fire was finally ready to come out, so I had to turn the mic on and change up the episode plans for this week, and let you guys know what was going on with my opinions on this one.The DMSW Podcast is proud to be a podcast partner with the ConciEARS Travel Agency!

Well it has been a few weeks, but I hope the idea I had for this episode turns out to be worth the wait for you. I took some time off for the holidays to relax with my family, then we hit my birthday and New Years Day, and we made a BIG announcement for the future of the podcast on Instagram. When I talked about that BIG announcement here on the podcast for the first time, I wanted to make sure it was an extra special episode. I have always wanted to record LIVE from somewhere on WDW property, and with the park hopping time restrictions FINALLY being lifted, I thought why not take "The 4 Park Challenge" to the next level, and not just visit all 4 parks in the same day, but bring my recording equipment with me and record a full episode, by going to all 4 parks and recording a segment at each of them. Hopefully you guys get a kick out of the background ambiance during this episode! The gears are already spinning for future episode ideas that I can return to the parks to record as well, so hopefully this episode is something you all enjoy.Now, as for that big announcement...I am so happy to announce that I have picked up my first ever full podcast sponsor, and I could not be more excited to let you all know that The DMSW Podcast is now officially a podcast partner of the ConciEARS Travel Agency. You can find ConciEARS on Instagram at the account @conciears and if you have questions about your upcoming vacation, or would like help planning your next trip, click this link to take you to a google form to get you in touch with the perfect travel planner.I will have more guests, and more information to talk all things ConciEARS with you going forward, but trust me when I say, this partnership will not change me, the content I make for this podcast, or for my Instagram feed. This only means more fun for you as listeners and followers through everything I am trying to create, because I now have an entire travel agency ready to have some fun with me going forward too. Follow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

We are back for episode 81 with another Marvel/MCU review, where we talk about the latest MCU movie, The Marvels. This is a spoiler heavy episode, so be prepared if you have not seen the movie yet, we get into some very specific plot details. This episode will wrap up our Marvel content for 2023 as well. We will not see the next MCU project, which is Echo, until next month, which will be 2024.Follow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

This is a SPOILER HEAVY review for Loki Season 2.I have been so excited to talk about this Disney+ show on the podcast because in my opinion it was far and away the BEST MCU project we have see brought to the streaming site so far. I was blow away by the acting performances, the music, and most of the writing and story telling they did this season. I feel like they gave Loki a FLAWLESS complete character arc, and I really appreciate the way they ended the season. It allows time to let Loki sit on the shelf (no pun intended) for awhile if he wants to go pursue other projects, and if it ends up being the last time we ever see him in the MCU I can be satisfied with that. But it also does leave the door open in a way that if he and the MCU ever feel like they are ready and want to bring him back, it will not cheapen his character arc whatsoever and I would be excited to see him play Loki in the MCU once again.Follow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

I always appreciate anyone that LISTENS to this podcast, but this week I am giving you all some VISUAL homework. Larry from Your Magic Film was my special guest on the show this episode, and the content he is creating is the very definition of MUST SEE material. Larry makes heartfelt, emotional, and amazing family videos for your trip to Disneyland or DCA. I promise if you take the time to go watch just one or two, you will get hooked and end up watching 5 or 6 easily. The quality of his work is just phenomenal. If you are not a west coast park local, or you are just looking for some other content to check out, Larry's trailer video for the Haunted Mansion Holiday Overlay and Baby Yoda Gets Lost in Disneyland are a few other MUST SEE videos as well. My kids have watch the Baby Yoda video probably 1,000 times already, its incredible.

You guys have been asking when Sydney was coming back on the show to finish her trip report from our Sept 2023 Father/Daughter trip, and today is finally that day. Dental surgery, internet issues, friend birthday parties, school work, they all did their best to keep her from getting back on the mic these past few weeks, but the stars finally aligned once again and she is back to finish telling you all about our trip.Day 2 we went to Epcot and Magic Kingdom.Day 3 we started in Animal Kingdom and then park hopped to Hollywood Studios, then over to Epcot, then back to Hollywood Studios again to close out our park time for this trip.Day 4 we headed back home.Follow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

We will cover all the different categories and levels, as well as cover some DVC Villa information as well.

Right off the bat, I apologize for the audio quality for my portion of the interview with my daughter Sydney. I did not realize my podcast mic had not connected properly so our entire hour plus interview my audio was only recorded from the mic built into the laptop and you can here the drop in quality from what I normally try to bring to the table here on this podcast, and I did not want to make my daughter have to re-record everything that we had just talked about a second time.The good news is that my guest this week is my daughter Sydney and I am so happy to get her back on the show again. You have heard her voice many times mixed into some of the comedy skits I have done, so it was so fun to get her back on for a full interview episode. We just had a father/daughter 1 on 1 trip down to WDW, and this episode today is just part 1. For this episode we cover our reasons for doing this trip, the travel down, our first day in the Disney bubble, and the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Episode 7 from the brand new Ahsoka show on Disney+ came out last Tuesday, and we promised you guys we would work as quickly as we could to record, edit, and post these recap episodes to get you some Ahsoka content to help keep you entertained in between the release of the episodes on Disney+.  Then I went and planned a last minute WDW trip to get some 1 on 1 time with my daughter Sydney, so that threw off our recording schedule off for this episode, but luckily my cohost Tim and our guest Katie were both very forgiving and we all worked out a time to get this episode recorded for you guys. We held the release until today, the same day the season 1 finale will air, so you guys could have some Ahsoka content to help get you through the last few hours before you can enjoy that new episode tonight on Disney+.

Well this episode is officially 1 week late, but I'm hoping the 5 minute opener on this one more than makes up for the wait to you, and I hope it makes you laugh (a few times) today. I made it a good way through recording this episode last week, and it was most definitely going to be a "You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?" type of episode. I thought about it, and decided to send that section of the episode to the trash bin, and redo it for today's episode release and try to focus the content more on the actual news updates while just sprinkling in some opinions along the way. I promise you all I did not change my opinions on any of these stories, I just tried to dial back the anger on the ones that annoyed me, and prevent any 5-10 venting sessions going off on a venting tangent.Follow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

If you go all the way back to when I first started this podcasting adventure, you will see the 2nd episode I ever did was ranking my Top 10 favorite Disney rides. Since I recorded that episode I have been lucky enough to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind multiple times and I have also been to Disneyland and DCA twice. I felt like it was time to dig in and update that list because I know a lot of things have changes since getting all these new experiences. How many rides from the original top 10 list will still be there? How many rides from the west coast have made their way onto this list? Check out the episode and find out!I would LOVE to hear from you guys on this list as well. The best place to get in touch is through Instagram @thedmswpodcast via a DM or comment on the episode post. Let me know what rides we both have in our top 10, and let me know the ones you disagree with as well. I hope to hear from you soon!Follow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

I told you guys last week I was going to bring in some guests to start helping out with all these movie and tv show reviews we had going on, and as promised, I have dug up the best 2 ghost hosts in the business to talk about Disney's new Haunted Mansion movie. Emily and Clayton from the Make it Magical Podcast are the biggest Haunted Mansion ride fans I know, so I knew they would make the perfect guests for this weeks episode. These guys have been some of the best friends I have made in this Disney podcast community and we have been chatting since almost our very first week as official podcasters. Emily and Clayton are California kids, and Disneyland has always been their home park, but the flew up to New England last year during scary season and were able to see New England in the fall, they got to check out historic Salem and see some sites from the Hocus Pocus movie, and we were even able to all meet up in Boston and hang out too. If you do not already follow these guys on IG, please go do so right now, and then absolutely subscribe to their podcast and start checking out all their episodes too.

The movie review train just keeps rolling on down the tracks here on The DMSW Podcast this week. We are that point on the calendar where there are just new movies and new tv shows on Disney+ coming out or wrapping up almost every single week. On today's episode we will finally catch up and review Pixar's Elemental as well as Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Oppenheimer has become a bit of a cultural phenomenon right now, so since our Marvel pal RDJ plays a major role in that movie, we will throw in a quick bonus review for that movie as well. Going into next episode we have more reviews to get to, but I promise I will bring in some ghost host experts to help me to give you guys some new voices to hear from on a review episode. Make sure to circle back next week to hear from Emily and Clayton from the Make it Magical Podcast.Follow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

Yes you read that right. On this episode today, I talk about an opinion I have had brewing in my secret podcasting bat cave for literally MONTHS at this point. Bob Iger and I are no longer together, and we are NEVER getting back together. News broke this week with Iger getting a contract extension that would keep him on as Disney's CEO through 2026. The straw that broke the camels back for me though, was just after signing his extension, he went on CNBC's Squawk Box and publicly came out against the writers that are currently on strike and I really just could not take it anymore. All of the built up frustrations come out today, on this episode of the show.Please remember, as always, this episode is my opinion, and my opinion alone, and also that at the end of the day, thats all it is... an opinion. If you disagree and want to talk about it, feel free to reach out and lets have a discussion, but just please remember to be respectful to everyone in this online Disney community, even if you have a different opinion than they do.Follow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

On today's episode we go under the sea to visit with Ariel, Sebastian, Flounder, and all our other mermaid friends when we review the new Live Action remake of the Disney animated classic film, The Little Mermaid. This is a SPOILER HEAVY episode, so if you have not had a chance to see the movie yet, and do not want to know about any of the new details from this movie, download the episode and save your listen for after you eventually watch the movie. We will go over the acting performances from the main characters, breakdown the new songs and scenes added to this movie, and I will do my best to make it as clear as possible how incredibly breathtaking Halle Bailey's singing performances are in this movie.Follow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

We got the venting session out of the way back on Episode 56, and thank goodness because Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was a super fun movie and there was plenty to talk about here on Episode 57. I really enjoyed this movie and could not wait to record an episode talking all about it.

Episode 56 was supposed to be a review of the new Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse movie, but once again Disney decided to make a special announcement about a big change coming to Genie+ and got the hot take machine all fired up. This new announcement left me once again feeling angry and ready to rant and rave all about here on the podcast. For anyone new to the show, I give my Genie+ Disclaimer up front and explain why I have hated the system since day one, and then we get into the new announcement and break it all down. I will explain to you why I don't like the sounds of these new updates, and as a life long sales guy, what it feels like Disney is trying to do us. Follow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

The Podcast Mics for Magic Team met up at Disneyland to send Splash Mountain off in style, to raise money for charity, and through the magic of Disney we formed a Disney family and had one of the best park experiences we ever could have imagined. On this episode I give you my own personal trip recap and talk about what this entire Podcast Mics of Magic Experience meant to me, and definitely stick around for the end of the episode for a special treat. We set another new record for the show this week and have 12 guests join this episode. Thanks to Jordan, Brian, Tracey, Tim, Audreyann, Kylie, Ericka, Hayley, Bethany, Hannah, Elisa, and Linda for sending in some recordings of their answers to a few questions I sent them ahead of time so that I could get as many of them included on this episode to try and explain how awesome this trip really was.Please reach out to, support, and follow all of these AMAZING people.

Last week we went into extra innings and broke a record for the longest episode in the history of the show, but we had a TON of fun with Hayley, Bethany, and Elisa that we just could not turn those mics off. This week will be a shorter episode, and I just wanted to give one last big push for the @PodcastMicsForMagic fundraiser event we are all doing and try to inspire you to make a donation if you have not yet already done so. I also wanted to do my best and run back through all of our friends who have supported us along the way through their podcasts or their small shops or in any other way as well.

I tried to hold off as long as I could, but once Disney made their announcement last week I knew it was the right time to bring back the next installment in the "You Know What Really Grinds My Gears" series. I cover all 5 topics from the announcements made by Disney this week, but the majority of the focus of my anger is directed at Genie+.

Last week was just the tease, it was the spoiler free review, but we are back this week with the full length episode to go SPOILER HEAVY to review and breakdown all things Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. To me this was the best movie James Gunn has ever made, and the only real bad thing I can say about what he did here, was that its a bittersweet ending knowing that this is probably the last MCU project we will get to see James Gunn do. As a fan of GOOD comic book/super hero movies, his style, passion, and skill set will certainly be missed in the MCU.I could not be happier that my buddy Rocket Raccoon made it out of this movie alive, and cannot wait to see what they do with all these Guardians characters going forward now.Follow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

Breaking some new ground here with this special bonus episode. This is my first ever SPOILER FREE review episode, and it is for the newest MCU movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The full episode, with a complete breakdown including spoiler content will come out on Monday as Episode 51, but for this episode I give you my word that it is 100% SPOILER FREE.If you have not bought your tickets for this movie yet, and you consider yourself a Marvel or MCU fan, I highly recommend you get to the show before the end of the weekend. Spoilers are already popping up like crazy online, and you are just one Instagram post or tweet away from having the movie ruined, so PLEASE, GO SEE THIS MOVIE ASAP. This movie is what the MCU is all about, and we all owe James Gunn a huge thank you for what he has created for all of us to enjoy and remember.Follow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

On this episode we will learn all about their podcast, talk about their recent trip to Disneyland, and then we will get into their Punish the Podcaster event they just did to help us raise money for the Podcast Mics for Magic team that is fundraising for CHOC.If you enjoy listening to Emily and Clayton on the episode today, please go check them out and show them some support in all the following ways...Instagram: @makeitmagicalpodTwitter: @makemagicalpodFacebook: Make it Magical Pod FB PageEmail: makeitmagicalpod@gmail.com (reach out to Emily for Disney travel agent help)Make it Magical Pod MerchMake it Magical Podcast on PatreonIf you buy a candle from the Magic Candle Company use promo code: MAGICAL15 to save yourself 15%Follow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

On todays episode we wrap up my complete MCU Movies rankings as we finish up where we left off last week. This episode is strictly the top 10. The cream of the crop from the MCU! I would love to hear from all of you listeners on how my rankings compared to yours. You can email me your entire list, you can send me a DM on Instagram, or just shoot me your top 5 or top 10. Either way, I would love to hear about where we agree, and what movies and characters you also love, but you guys know me, I am always ready for a good debate too. So if your list is very different from mine, or you absolutely hate how high or low I put a movie, reach out and let me know.If you want to get involved with what we are doing with the CHOC Foundation, and our fundraiser through Podcast Mics for Magic, you can find the link to donate as well as stay up to date with everything we have going on, on the PMfM IG page...@PodcastMicsForMagicFollow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

One of the first Marvel topics I wanted to do back when I started this podcast was to go through and rank the entire MCU and we get that party started in this episode with part 1 of what we will be 2 episode adventure to get through the entire list. We start at movie #31 and stop just outside the top 10 with my #11 favorite.How does my list compare to yours?
