Årets höst är i krokarna. Lika oundviklig är ålderns höst så i detta avsnitt tar vi oss an några filmer som tar upp ålderdom. Högt och lågt. Förutom Homebodies  (1974, sv Vräkningen), The Amusement Park (1975?) och Old People (2022) pratar vi också lite om snackisen Weapons, M. Night Shyamalan och The Visit med mera.

We dive into our first stay at the new DVC Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort — and for the first time ever, we brought the dogs! From check-in to checkout, we're breaking down what it's really like to travel to Walt Disney World with your furry family members, including how the pups adjusted, what's included in Pluto's Welcome Kit, and why Fort Wilderness might just be the most peaceful spot on property to settle in and stay a while.We also talk through Disney's pet policy in full — which resorts allow dogs, how the booking process works, and what to expect when that $50 nightly fee kicks in. Then we get into the cabins themselves: the layout, the comfort, the thoughtful little touches, and how these redesigned spaces compare to other DVC options around property. Speaking of golf carts, we couldn't resist — and we're glad we didn't. We share how having one will totally change the vibe of your trip, made traveling with the dogs easier, and added a little extra fun to everything from fried chicken pickups to late-night loops through the campground.From there, we head into classic Fort Wilderness territory: scavenger hunts, gem mining at the Bike Barn, and a perfect mix of old-school charm and new family memories. We talk about meals at the cabin, including an easy homemade breakfast and a fried chicken feast from P&J's Southern Takeout that might still be one of the best values on Disney property.And of course, it wouldn't be a Main Street Magic episode without snacks around property. We'll tell you which ones were worth it (looking at you, monkey bread), which surprised us (hello, watermelon pop), and which ones we're still dreaming about (yes, that Lunchbox tart deserves the hype). We also wrap things up with a trip to Toothsome at Universal for a massive Cookie Jar sundae and one of the sweetest finales we've had in a while.Whether you're thinking about booking a cabin, bringing your pup, or just want to hear about monkey bread and golf cart joyrides, this one's packed with Fort Wilderness magic.

Summer is coming to an end, so we're taking a journey back in time to remember two amusement parks that have etched themselves into the imaginations of generations of Bay Area residents: Idora Park in Oakland and San Francisco's Playland at the Beach. This story originally aired in September of 2022, but we're bringing it back to celebrate the end of summer.

Kori Rumore, a journalist at The Chicago Tribune, joins John Landecker on the program to talk about retired amusement parks throughout the Chicago area and the evolution of “Little Orphan Annie.”

Be our guest as we invite you to pull up a chair and join us for dinner at VIVO Italian Kitchen™ inside Universal CityWalk™ Orlando. Instead of reviewing the restaurant after the fact, we did something different — we hit record right at the table so you could hear our real-time thoughts as the evening unfolded. From the moment the appetizer arrived to the last sip of our mocktails, every reaction, laugh, and side conversation was captured live.We each ordered something different, from handmade pasta entrées crafted with heirloom family recipes to creative zero-proof drinks that gave the night a refreshing twist. Along the way, we share our honest takes on presentation, portion size, service, and overall atmosphere. You'll hear the clink of silverware, the banter over the check, and the little details that make dining at VIVO a uniquely immersive experience.But of course, because it's us, the night also went a little sideways — leading to a surprisingly deep (and funny) conversation about VIVO's bathrooms, which turned out to be some of the most unusual we've ever seen at a theme park restaurant. By the end, we're not just talking food, but also sinks, stalls, and the unwritten etiquette of handwashing.If you've ever wondered what it's really like to dine at VIVO Italian Kitchen™, this episode delivers the flavors, the fun, and even a few unexpected laughs.

A large chain of amusement parks appears to be in financial trouble. More from Chris Conley on the WSAU Wisconsin Morning News.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you were lucky enough to have gone to New Jersey's Action Park before it closed in the '90s, you probably have the scars to prove it. This place was WILD. And while I understand why there are no longer parks around like it today, I also really, really wish I could've been there.

We're hitting record from some of Walt Disney World's most stunning deluxe resorts while answering a lightning round of listener-style questions all about the podcast, Disney, and beyond! From the first trip that made us truly fall in love with the parks to the spark that turned that passion into nearly 800 episodes, we're pulling back the curtain on the moments that shaped Main Street Magic.We'll share what episode felt like a milestone, our favorite collaborations, and even the bloopers that had us cracking up. We'll debate which Magic Kingdom resort we'd actually live in, which EPCOT pavilion we'd move into for a week, and the bold Disney hot takes we'll defend to the end. Plus, we dive into what recording inside an attraction might look like, the series we're excited to launch next, and where we'd host a dream live show.Along the way, we reflect on what we've learned about each other, which Universal land secretly rivals Disney, the snack that needs to be fired, and what hitting 800 episodes means to us. It's a mix of memories, milestones, and mayhem—recorded in the heart of deluxe Disney magic.

Ahead of the August bank holiday weekend we're being encouraged to visit part of the Kent coast - despite it's poor water quality rating.The owners of Dymchurch Amusement Park say there's more to do there than just swimming.Last November the Environment Agency downgraded the beach's water quality to poor and issued a no-swim warning.Also in today's podcast, a woman who moved to Kent when the war started in Ukraine has told the podcast she doesn't think the Russian president will ever agree to meet Volodymyr Zelenskyy.Donald Trump has started plans to bring the leaders together after meeting them separately over the past week. Hear from Margarita Bondarenko who's from Kyiv and now lives in Canterbury, she's been speaking ahead of Ukrainian Independence Day this weekend.A Medway nurse is urgently fundraising for immunotherapy after being diagnosed with an extremely rare cancer.Charlotte Flannery was told the tumour on her ovary has fewer than 100 recorded cases and she needs £70,000 for further treatment to prevent it from returning.In sport, it's another home game for Gillingham this weekend.They welcome top of the table Crewe Alexandra to Priestfield looking to maintain their unbeaten run in league two. Hear from defender Andy Smith and manager Gareth Ainsworth.Cricket, and Kent have won their latest game in the One Day Cup.The Spitfires bowled Northamptonshire Steelbacks out for 243 and reached the victory target with seven wickets to spare.And, the Women's Rugby World Cup gets underway later with England taking on the USA.It's hoped the tournament will encourage more girls to get involved in the sport.

In this episode, Barney is perturbed, Coral questions the bugs, Randy takes in a temp, Clayton was waiting, and Jerry is new. The Plot... Thickens!

Should this amusement park law be passed? Also, should everyone throw away their shrimp? We talk about haircut anxiety, a fake Justin Bieber performance, and lots more!

We're kicking off a brand-new series: Resort Wars — where Walt Disney World resorts go head-to-head, and only one can walk away with the crown! First up, it's a Value Resort throwdown between Disney's Pop Century and Disney's Art of Animation.Pop Century opened in 2003 and celebrates the nostalgia of the 1950s through the 1990s with larger-than-life icons and over 2,800 rooms. Meanwhile, Art of Animation debuted in 2012 with immersive theming from beloved Disney and Pixar films, offering standard Little Mermaid rooms and spacious family suites themed to Cars, The Lion King, and Finding Nemo.We pit these two fan favorites against each other across seven battle rounds — including theming & atmosphere, rooms & comfort, dining, transportation, recreation, overall value, and listener feedback. Who takes the win for pool bars and food courts? Which resort is more budget-friendly? And where will your family find the perfect blend of magic and convenience?Plus, we share results from our listener poll and highlight firsthand experiences and opinions from our amazing community to help settle the debate.Whether you're planning your next Disney vacation or just love a good Disney debate, this episode is packed with insight, tips, and a few laughs along the way. So grab your tie-dye cheesecake or swing by the Big Blue Pool — it's time to battle it out in Resort Wars: Pop Century vs. Art of Animation!

Bonus Episode #51 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. A tale written in starlight begins. The Starbinder's Oath is an original high-fantasy radio drama told through narration, sound, and the music of video games. In Part One, The Loom of Stars, we follow Kaelen, a young initiate and the last remaining of the ancient Starbinders, as he steps into a world of fractured constellations, forgotten ruins, and shadowed betrayals. Across ten immersive scenes, Kaelen encounters mentors, rivals, and mysteries that test his resolve. From the jagged cliffs of the Glimmering Veil to the ancient obelisk where history itself crumbles, his journey leads him into confrontation with the sinister Cindercloaks and their enigmatic champion, Varn. Along the way, the Codex of Stars whispers, bonds are questioned, and the pull of Zyra, the creator of the Loom, grows ever closer. This is not simply a story... it's an unfolding saga, blending the power of dramatic narration with carefully chosen pieces of video game music to heighten every moment. Step into the oath. Bind yourself to the stars. And discover what awaits in The Starbinder's Oath.

We wrap up this round of our Listener Q&A series from our Main Street Magic Mailbag!This episode is packed with your questions from Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, covering everything from practical Disney planning tips to fun “what if” scenarios. We tackle whether the luggage service at Value Resorts for Southwest Airlines might hint at the return of something like Disney's Magical Express, and share our thoughts on the biggest price gouges at Walt Disney World (looking at you, $199 Minnie Van airport rides).We imagine what Villains Land rides could look like, guess how many gallons of ice cream we've consumed in the parks, and share our top three favorite quick-service spots. We also explore underrated Disney experiences, ways to improve multi-generational trips, and even the quirks of bus stop numbering across the parks.From reimagining entire lands and moving them between parks, to the best age for bringing a baby to Disney, to helping first-time EPCOT guests get the most out of Festival of the Arts — we've got it all. Plus, we share advice for planning big family trips, budgeting, and whether Disney could pull off a Halloween Horror Nights–style event.Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned Disney veteran, this episode delivers insider tips, imaginative ideas, and plenty of Disney fun straight from our listeners.

We're opening up the Main Street Magic Mailbag once again and answering your burning questions straight from Instagram! From quirky pre-trip routines and our most-anticipated Disney Destiny cruise spots, to what attractions we'd scrap, revamp, or ride all day long, no topic is off-limits. We chat about the future of Universal content on the show, whether to Park Hop or stick to one park per day, and what it would be like to spend 24 hours as a Disney character.You'll hear our thoughts on which park additions could take things to the next level, the fate of Discovery Island, and even what jobs our pets would have if they were human. Plus, we dive into VIP dreams, runDisney plans, and the one thing that caught us off guard when starting the podcast. We also share the new things we've learned about each other lately, our picks for upcoming movies and shows, and what themed land we'd add to Epic Universe. Whether it's Disney, Universal, or just a little bit of fun “would you rather,” this Q&A is packed with laughs, tips, and behind-the-scenes insights.

REFLECTIONS is a short-form feature within The Photowalk podcast, offering thoughtful observations on a creative life and the themes that we so often talk about on Fridays: perfectionism, impostor syndrome, comparison, confidence and more. It's a pause at the start of the week to recalibrate, recorded in the studio between the walks. Each Monday, you'll find Reflections on The Photowalk podcast feed, like a creative reset to start the week, and from Tuesday to Friday, it continues exclusively on our member-supported channel, The Extra Mile, for those who walk a little further with us. Today, I reflect upon those places I'd like to photograph, one in particular, that is certainly off the menu. All links will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to Arthelper, who sponsor this show, plus our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week. WHY: A Sketchbook of Life is available here.

We're diving deep into the Main Street Magic Mailbag for our latest Listener Q&A session! You sent the questions — and we're answering them all with the usual mix of tips, laughs, and behind-the-scenes banter.From our Facebook community, we tackle everything from Disney resorts we've never stayed at (yes, there are still a few!) to which classic attractions we somehow haven't experienced. We chat about the possibility of a Main Street Magic Zero Proof Crawl & Meet-Up, compare Typhoon Lagoon vs. Blizzard Beach now that water park access is included with resort check-in, and reflect on the nostalgic Disney favorites that still hit us in the feels (even if our kids aren't on board).We also get personal — sharing how we met, which international Disney parks are on our bucket list, and brainstorming what a Disney-themed non-alcoholic bar would look like. Spoiler: we're all in.Over on X (Twitter), things get delightfully random — like which Disney character is most likely to have a PR meltdown Coldplay-style, what we'd grab in a $500 LEGO Store shopping spree, and what hobby might take over our lives if Disney disappeared tomorrow (gasp!).Tune in for answers, shoutouts, and a lot of fun — and stay tuned for more ways to send in your questions for future episodes!

Summer is the perfect time to visit an amusement park, but for every park that's open and bustling during the warmer months, there's one that's fallen into disrepair and sits there abandoned.  But what causes this to happen? Well, sometimes a series of horrible accidents cause the public to lose faith in a park, and ticket sales plummet. Sometimes, a once in a generation disaster occurs and an entire city must evacuate, leaving the park inside empty. And other times, a park somehow winds up built on an ancient graveyard, and unexplained, supernatural events scare the public away.  Today, we're talking about River Country, Pripyat Amusement Park, and Lake Shawnee Abandoned Amusement Park  TW: Child death Subscribe on Patreon for bonus content and to become a member of our Rogue Detecting Society.

These are the 10 Disney Commandments — the silent codes of theme park conduct that keep the magic flowing and the meltdowns to a minimum.We're talking about the things like why you should never stop smack in the middle of Main Street, how mobile order can save your sanity (and your stomach), and why blocking a fireworks view with your kid on your shoulders may earn you a serious side-eye.We'll cover food court table hoarding, stroller navigation, rope drop etiquette, and the all-important art of not walking four across like a human wall. Oh — and we've got a whole commandment devoted to not judging grown-ups who still love Disney, thank you very much.Plus, we'll remind you of the ultimate rule: Be kind to Cast Members. They are the real magic.Whether you're a first-time visitor or a Disney pro, these tips, tricks, and truths will make your next trip smoother, kinder, and just a little more magical.

Here's my interview with the co-founders of at Two Bit Circus, Brent Bushnell & Eric Gradman, that was conducted on Thursday, October 11, 2018 at site visit to Two Bit Circus in Los Angeles, CA just over a month from their grand opening September 5th, 2018. See more context in the rough transcript below. This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality

We recorded a full “live dining” review right from our table — and let's just say The Edison gave us plenty to talk about (and sweat over).This wasn't your average restaurant recap. We hit record at the table and let the conversation flow — capturing our unfiltered reactions, food-fueled tangents, and, yes, even the spice-induced meltdowns in real time. From the second our zero-proof drinks arrived, we were in review mode, starting with the Heart & Soul and LZP mocktails — both creative, refreshing, and worthy of sipping slowly.Then came the standout: the Maryland Blue Crab Dip. Hot, creamy, packed with flavor, and shockingly legit for being in Florida, this dish brought us straight back to Chesapeake Bay roots. The naan was warm and soft, the crab flavor spot-on, and the addition of a side of tortilla chips was the cherry on top (or the crunch on the bottom?).Finally, we tackled the Flavors of Florida Hot Honey High Voltage Chicken Sandwich — and it lived up to the voltage warning. Spicy, sweet, peppery, and surprisingly cohesive, it might not be for the faint of heart (or weak of tastebud), but it's a bold, fiery experience we won't forget.Would we do another live dining episode? Absolutely. Would we get that crab dip again? Without hesitation.

We begin with key developments in President Donald Trump's tariff negotiations as a deadline looms. Trump proposed a way to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. An NYPD officer killed in a deadly mass shooting is being laid to rest today. The Trump administration struck its second major deal with an elite university. Plus, how a night of fun turned into chaos at a theme park. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this Quick Hit, you'll hear us continue our Creative Series, focused on the issues facing creative agencies today and how they need to evolve to stay relevant. Our second special guest is Jimmy Smith, Chairman, CEO, and Chief Creative Officer of Amusement Park Entertainment, and the Author of The Truth graphic novel. He's one of the advertising industry's most celebrated creatives and has created award-winning work for brands including Nike and Gatorade. Listen to the full episode here

We're recapping a whirlwind Disney weekend filled with big thrills, bold flavors, and brand-new experiences across Walt Disney World. We kick things off at Magic Kingdom, where we got our first look at the brand-new Starlight Magic Parade. We'll share our honest thoughts on the floats, characters, music, and whether it lives up to the hype—or if it's just Main Street Electrical 2.0 with a new glow.Next, we head to EPCOT to dive into Test Track 3.0, the reimagining of the classic ride that now blends high-speed thrills with a touch of World of Motion nostalgia. Is it an upgrade, a downgrade, or just… different? We'll break it all down.Then it's time to eat—really well. We'll take you through our fine dining experience at Bourbon Steak, one of the top new steakhouses in Central Florida, tucked inside the Swan & Dolphin (Dolphin side) right on Disney property. And from white tablecloths to Yeti footprints, we shift gears with a quick review of our lunch at Yak & Yeti in Animal Kingdom.Of course, no trip is complete without snacks! We'll share what we grabbed from Sleepy Hollow and have some updates on the brand-new Wailulu Bar and Grill at the Polynesian Resort Tower—including zero-proof sips, sweet treats, and some surprisingly great finds. Come along for the ride! 

We're diving into all the best ways to surprise your loved ones with the magical news—whether it's a spontaneous, last-minute “we're leaving right now!” kind of moment, or a carefully crafted, weeks-in-the-making reveal. Maybe you want to wake the kids up early, bags secretly packed, and tell them they're heading to the airport instead of school. Or maybe you prefer a slow build—dropping hints, or creating a puzzle.In this episode, we'll walk through a ton of fun and creative reveal ideas to fit every kind of family and every kind of trip—whether it's Walt Disney World, Disneyland, or a Disney Cruise. Think scavenger hunts through the house with Disney-themed clues, custom puzzles that spell out the surprise, surprise boxes filled with ears and park maps, or even a special dinner with a magical dessert reveal. We've got ideas for high-energy moments, emotional reveals, and even low-key ways to share the news if your little ones need time to process big surprises.Then we'll shift into countdown mode and share all the best ways to keep the excitement going once they know. From Disney-themed movie nights and DIY crafts to custom countdown calendars, sticker charts, and park-inspired meals, we'll help you turn every day leading up to your trip into its own little celebration.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're throwing on our festive gear and stepping into the holiday spotlight to answer one big question—which Disney after-hours party is the best of the season? Is it the spooky fun of Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the cozy charm of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, or the retro glitz of Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios?We're going head-to-head-to-head as we break these parties down across multiple categories—everything from entertainment and character sightings to food, vibes, crowd levels, and overall value. We're each casting our votes in every round, sharing our thoughts (and probably disagreeing a few times), and by the end, we're crowning our pick for the top Disney holiday party of the year.If we're being honest, we know some of you are debating which one to attend—and some of you are just planning to hit all three. Either way, we've got you covered.So we're grabbing our trick-or-treat bag, our Santa hats, and maybe a sparkly blazer or two, and we're inviting you to join us for the ultimate festive face-off!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

What makes a Disney resort truly magical? Is it the proximity to the parks, the dining options, the pool, or that indescribable feeling you get when you first walk into the lobby? After staying at 13 different Disney resorts across both coasts, we're finally ready to rank them all—and some of our placements might surprise you!From the Dolphin's lack of Disney theming to the Grand Floridian's perhaps too-bougie atmosphere, we deep dive into what worked (and what didn't) at each property. Even more surprising? The prestigious Grand Floridian only makes it to the middle of our rankings, while value resort All-Star Movies cracks the top 10 with its immersive Toy Story theming.As we count down to our top five, we explore what truly creates that magical "we're here" feeling. The Yacht Club dazzles with Stormalong Bay and EPCOT proximity, the Grand Californian offers direct park access with a serene atmosphere, and the Polynesian delivers island vibes with spectacular fireworks views. Wilderness Lodge nearly takes the crown with its breathtaking lobby and peaceful seclusion despite being moments from Magic Kingdom.But there's one resort that unanimously claimed our #1 spot. Animal Kingdom Lodge transports guests completely to an African safari lodge, with savanna views, cultural immersion, and a fully realized theme unlike anything else at Walt Disney World. From waking up to giraffes outside your balcony to exploring the extensive collection of African art in the lobby, it creates an experience impossible to replicate anywhere else on property.Whether you're planning your first Disney trip or your twentieth, join us as we break down the pros and cons of each resort we've experienced.

I'm joined by a very special guest—my daughter Kailyn—as we recap a whirlwind Disney weekend full of sun, snacks, and some serious theme park hustle.Kailyn hadn't stepped foot in the 4 Walt Disney World parks since Thanksgiving of 2023—and before that, Christmas 2022. But rewind a bit further, and she was basically raised at Disney. As a longtime Annual Passholder, she spent years visiting once or twice a month with us, until both kids eventually hit that wall a lot of families know all too well: Disney burnout. So they let their passes go, took a step back… and just like that, a new chapter began.But this past weekend, we opened the book again. On Thursday, it was off to Typhoon Lagoon for a splash-filled day of water slides, waves, and lazy rivers. Then we cleaned up and headed to Disney Springs for shopping and dinner at Wailulu Bar & Grill. (Spoiler: we'll be talking about poke bowls, fish, and tattoos.)And then came Friday—a 16-hour park day that took us to EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom and packed in 20 attractions. We're talking thrill rides, strategy, food fuel, and some genuine moments of rediscovering the magic.You'll hear Kailyn's honest take on what it was like coming back after nearly two years away, how the parks felt different, and what moments reminded her why she used to love it in the first place.This is a special one for us—a dad-daughter Disney trip with laughs, nostalgia, and a whole lot of fun.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

In this rewind episode of the Main Street Magic Podcast, we're going back to one of our Disney Prep Series favorites—Disney's water parks!We originally recorded this episode when only one park was open, so you may hear us mention that throughout the show. But don't worry—both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach are now open and ready for you to splash into some serious fun!We're sharing the history, theming, fun facts, pricing, and our best tips and tricks to help you make the most of your water park day. And here's some even better news—if you're staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you now get a complimentary water park day on your check-in day through the end of 2025, with that offer continuing into the summer of 2026. Pretty awesome, right?So while the episode is presented exactly as it was when first released, everything still holds up—and now you have even more ways to enjoy both parks! Whether you're chilling in the lazy rivers or braving the big slides, we've got you covered.Let's dive in! MEI-Travel – Expertise. Ease.

Step into the heart of Disney dining magic as we take you behind the scenes at Chef Mickey's breakfast buffet in Disney's Contemporary Resort. Imagine savoring warm cinnamon rolls (possibly the best we've ever tasted!) while Mickey Mouse himself stops by for a selfie – all with the iconic Disney monorail gliding overhead through the soaring Grand Canyon Concourse.What makes Chef Mickey's special isn't just the food – though the bountiful breakfast buffet delivers with everything from Mickey waffles to apple-filled beignets and a delicious hash brown casserole. The real magic happens when the Fab Five (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto) make their rounds, creating personal moments with guests of all ages. We were particularly impressed with how attentive the characters were, even circling back to interact with our table when a family member was briefly at the buffet.Unlike some character dining experiences that can overwhelm with noise and commotion, Chef Mickey's strikes the perfect balance – festive enough to feel special but calm enough to actually enjoy conversations with your travel companions. Characters move efficiently through the restaurant, typically meeting each table within a 15-20 minute window, which means you can focus on both the interactions and your meal without constant interruptions.At $58 per adult and $37 per child (plus tax and gratuity), this character breakfast represents a significant investment, but the combination of abundant food options, character moments, and the convenience of monorail access to Magic Kingdom makes it a worthwhile consideration for your Disney vacation. Whether you're revisiting a Disney dining tradition or creating new family memories, Chef Mickey's remains one of those quintessential Disney experiences that continues to delight guests decades after it first opened.Ready to make Chef Mickey's part of your next Disney adventure?

We're taking you along on a whirlwind couple of days at Walt Disney World—complete with friends, food, drinks, and a few unexpected twists (including a surprise snake sighting near the Skyliner… yep, that happened).We kicked things off with snacks and sips at Bar Riva to see some Cast Member friends alongside our good friends Lucie and Caleb, and the fun just kept rolling from there. We did a little shopping in Pandora (yes, we bought rings), used an Individual Lightning Lane for Cosmic Rewind, and bounced around resorts chasing dinner plans from California Grill to Steakhouse 71 to Three Bridges—where we finally found our perfect Plan C, great food, and some awesome cast member interactions.We also squeezed in some magic at Magic Kingdom to ride Haunted Mansion, placed a special hat embroidery order, and spent a rainy afternoon at Disney Springs catching up, indulging in Salt & Straw, and hiding out at Jock Lindsey's. The trip wrapped up with poolside snacks at Siestas, an evening at Dahlia Lounge, and a final stop at Jeff's Bagels on the way home—because you know we weren't leaving without breakfast handled.It was a trip full of laughs, detours, and Disney magic, and we can't wait to share it with you.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're stepping outside the Disney bubble and heading deep into the heart of Texas for an unforgettable trip to Austin. That's right—we swapped MagicBands for cowboy boots and spent the weekend soaking up everything Austin has to offer, from mouthwatering food to meaningful moments.We're talking Michelin-starred barbecue brisket that melts in your mouth, spicy chicken from a food truck named Spicy Boys, an incredible cowgirl hat experience at Kendra Scott's Yellow Rose boutique, and a dive bar that turned out to be surprisingly sober-friendly. Plus, opening up about a powerful personal milestone—reaching 475 days of sobriety—and how a three-hour Blue October concert helped finally deliver the clarity.Whether it's floating in freezing cold Barton Springs, indulging in gourmet ice cream, or spotting a puppy in an Uber, this was a weekend filled with unexpected joy, emotional growth, and plenty of laughter. So if you're looking for an inspiring, delicious, and downright weird adventure beyond the theme parks, grab your hat (and maybe a churro for comfort) and come along for the ride!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're taking a delicious deep dive into the snack scene at Disney Springs to determine which treats are truly worth your time, money, and appetite. With so many tempting options, we're breaking them down by taste, value, portion size, and uniqueness to see which ones deserve a resounding “Eat it!” and which you may want to “Beat it!”We kick things off at Swirls on the Water with the DOLE Whip Flight—a $7.99 trio that serves up a sampler-sized portion of Disney's most iconic soft-serve in playful, unique swirls like banana and salted caramel or mint chocolate, all with fun toppings. Then we hit the heavyweight champion of cookies at Gideon's Bakehouse, where the limited-time White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookie clocks in at nearly half a pound and over 24 hours of prep time, offering rich flavor and chewy-crispy contrast.From there, it's on to Sprinkles for a fresh cupcake delivered from their famous ATM, and then we hop over to The Daily Poutine, where $10.49 gets you a hot, hearty portion of Canadian-style comfort food—fries, gravy, and cheddar curds that are perfect for sharing. Summer House offers up a gooey cookie bar that's just as pretty as it is tasty, while Chicken Guy delivers classic tenders with a sauce-sampling twist that brings the flavor (and a bit of Food Network flair).We wrap with Homecomin's beloved Momma's Mac and Cheese, Morimoto Asia's sticky-sweet spare ribs, Everglazed's pillowy doughnuts, and the wildly inventive small-batch ice creams from Salt & Straw—think strawberry balsamic or honey lavender atop a crisp waffle cone.Whether you're strolling the Springs for a quick bite or plotting a full-on snack crawl, this episode is your go-to guide for the tastiest (and most interesting) stops along the way.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're diving into an important and often overlooked topic—phobias and sensory sensitivities in the parks.With as many as 12.5% of adults and nearly 1 in 5 adolescents experiencing specific phobias in their lifetime, it's essential to help all guests feel confident and informed when planning their Disney experience. From fear of heights and darkness to anxiety in enclosed spaces or sensory-heavy environments, we're breaking down the rides and experiences that could be overwhelming—and what to do about it.We'll walk you through the attractions most likely to trigger phobias like claustrophobia, nyctophobia, and automatonophobia, and provide practical tools for navigating those challenges.We also include tips for using DAS (Disability Access Service), rider switch, and identifying quiet spaces throughout the parks when needed. Plus, we share a list of sensory-friendly alternatives so everyone in your party can find their magic, no matter their comfort level. Whether you're planning your first trip or helping someone else prepare, this episode is here to help you create a trip full of joy, confidence, and understanding.MEI-Travel – Expertise. Ease.
