DREAM WISH PLAN - Disney Vacation Planning, Travel Tips and Hacks
Is Disney still worth it in 2026? Short answer: yes. In this episode we are breaking down exactly why 2026 is actually a really great time to visit Walt Disney World. We cover the 250th Anniversary of the United States and how Disney is celebrating it, including the return of Soarin' Across America. We talk about what just reopened, Rock and Roller Coaster with its new Muppets theming, Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run now featuring Mando and Grogu, Big Thunder Mountain back and smoother than ever, and the new Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse live show in Animation Courtyard. We also get into the promotions available right now, including free kids dining when you book a room and dining package, and free water park entry on check-in day through September 8th. And we talk about why fall is one of the best times to visit, from Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party to the holiday season that follows. If you have been on the fence about a Disney trip this year, this episode might just be the nudge you needed.
You can do Walt Disney World “wrong” and still have an incredible time. Nathan proves it with a rare solo trip that includes two weeks in the Orlando area, two park days, and exactly zero interest in sprinting from headline attraction to headline attraction. We talk through what a relaxed Disney mindset looks like when nobody else is voting on the plan, and why the best moments sometimes come from letting go of the need to maximize every minute.We start at Disney's Hollywood Studios, where Nathan tries to jump into Lightning Lane Multi Pass late and realizes, in real time, how many rules and timing tricks you need to make it work. The good news: the mission still gets accomplished with Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets. We break down the new theming, how the rotating songs function, and what still feels physically rough about the track. Then we dig into the Animation Courtyard refresh and why the space finally feels open, inviting, and worth a dedicated walk-through.From there, it's Animal Kingdom for Flame Tree Barbecue and a well-earned Nomad Lounge stop, plus quick hits like Expedition Everest and the Zootopia Better Zoogether show. Day two heads to EPCOT for Spaceship Earth, the new Soarin' over America, and a big rethink of Remy's Ratatouille Adventure now that it runs without 3D glasses, which can be a game-changer for motion sickness. We also share a few travel-life lessons, including why an early flight home can be great, unless you're chasing a pre-9 a.m. Sunday mimosa.If you're planning a Disney solo trip, comparing Lightning Lane strategies, or just looking for honest Walt Disney World trip reporting, subscribe, share this with a Disney friend, and leave us a review so more listeners can find the show.----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

Welcome back to Capture The Magic! This week we're diving into all the latest Disney World news and there's honestly so much happening right now. First up, Disney just dropped their complete 4th of July food and drink guide and wow, there are some seriously patriotic treats coming our way. We're talking red, white and blue everything across all four parks. Plus we finally got more details about what to expect story-wise when Monstropolis opens at Magic Kingdom. The new land is going to be way more immersive than we initially thought. Speaking of new stuff, Toy Story 5 is bringing some cool passholder perks to Hollywood Studios, and everyone can grab that new Bullseye popcorn bucket. But if you wanted that Lightning McQueen popcorn bucket that just dropped, good luck because it sold out almost immediately. Classic Disney popcorn bucket chaos strikes again. Over at EPCOT, La Poutinerie is opening July 1st and we've got the full menu with pricing. Spoiler alert, it's not exactly budget-friendly but those loaded fries look incredible. And if you've been wanting to do brunch at Citricos, now's your chance since they're moving the Grand Floridian Cafe brunch over there. We're also reviewing those Mickey churro waffles from Spyglass Grill that everyone's been talking about, plus we tried some of the new Bluey treats at Pizzafari. Let's just say one of us was way more excited about Bluey than the other. Plus we're chatting about our recent park experiences including that busy Animation Courtyard, the updated Smuggler's Run experience with Mando and Grogu, and why Soarin' Across America hits different every single time.

They also track the growing Toy Story 5 promotional push, including Papa John's Pizza Planet packaging, movie theater collectibles, and Grogu's new blue Nilla Nummies.

In the 292nd episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave reunite after Jenn's week off and Dave's solo show... First (and we forgot to even say it on the episode...) THANK YOU FOR 100,000 DOWNLOADS! Second... we dive back in to some familiar news, covering some of the things we did mention last week, but this time to get Jenn's take on in, including the Muppets song list on the revamped Rock'n Roller Coaster, the returning Dexlue Disney Sining Plan, and Big Thunder reopening. Plus, a look at Disney's upcoming Lakeshort Lodge, projected to open in 2027, and then a look at the recently announced Disney Legend 2026 line up - and who should be in, who is in that grey area and... then... a discussion on Anne Hathaway.

Join us for episode 484 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast! Disney's Hollywood Studios is having a massive identity crisis. Is it a tribute to the Golden Age of Cinema, or just a parking lot for Star Wars and Toy Story? Disney's Hollywood Studios is in the middle of a massive identity crisis. Is it a park about the magic of movies, or has it just become a storage locker for big franchises? On this episode of the Theme Park Trailer Podcast, Ryan and Donna are making the "Keep It or Kill It" calls for 2026. With Monstropolis construction moving fast and the Muppets taking over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, the duo spars over what needs to stay and what needs to be ripped out to save the park. In this episode: The Identity Battle: Is Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway a worthy icon, or are we still grieving The Great Movie Ride? Galaxy's Edge Wars: Should Disney finally kill the strict Sequel Trilogy timeline and let Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker walk around Batuu? Star Tours vs. Galaxy's Edge: Does the "Greatest Hits" version of Star Wars belong in a different land, or is it the best ride in the park? The Sunset Boulevard Debate: Does Beauty and the Beast - Live on Stage still have that Broadway magic, or is it time for an Encanto or Wish takeover? Toy Story Land Problems: We love the "backyard" scale, but is it time to "Kill" the immersion to add much-needed shade and "human-sized" bathrooms? BaseLine TapHouse: Can the park's best "chill spot" survive the expansion of Grand Avenue? STAY TUNED: This is just the beginning. We're debating so much that we're splitting this into a Part Two, where we dive into the Tower of Terror, Indiana Jones, and the future of Animation Courtyard! What would YOU "Kill" at Hollywood Studios? Let us know in the comments!

Disneyland Adventureland Treehouse will Return with a New Look in 2023There are more details about the future of the treehouse in Adventureland at Disneyland park.When it reopens in 2023 the Adventureland Treehouse will be themed after Walt Disney's Swiss Family Robinson tree house--just as it is in Walt Disney World.

Disney Parks are filled with thousands of hours of music. From area music loops to attraction soundtracks, Disney's Imagineers infuse a tremendous amount of work creating and selecting music and sounds that best fit every corner of the resort.

Les Attractions Disparues du Parc Walt Disney Studios L'émission animée par Victoire, Crystal, Fabien, Romain, David et Maureen. Dans ce nouvel épisode de Chronique Disney - Le Podcast, Victoire, Crystal, Fabien, Romain et leur invitée Maureen du blog Hello Disneyland et de la chaine YouTube Hello Maureen partent pour un voyage en nostalgie. Inauguré en 2002 dans la hâte pour respecter les délais de la convention signée avec l'État Français, le Parc Walt Disney Studios a aujourd'hui totalement changé de visage. Initialement évocateur du monde du cinéma, de l'animation, de la télévision ou de production musicale, ce "demi-Parc" peu ambitieux à l'ouverture s'est modifié au fur à mesure des années, prenant des directions bien différentes de ses thématiques d'origines. Ainsi les expériences et attractions qui le reliaient à ces univers médiatiques ont disparu une à une, au point qu'aujourd'hui ne subsiste qu'une attraction datant de ses débuts. L'équipe de "parc-chéologues" réunis autour de Victoire et de leur invitée spéciale Maureen emmène ainsi les auditeurs à travers les coulisses de la télévision dans Production Courtyard avec Playhouse Disney Live on Stage et Television Production Tour ; celles du cinéma dans un voyage Cinémagique, puis dans une balade un peu chiche avec Studio Tram Tour - Behind the Magic ou un tournage réservant son lot de suprises dans Armageddon - Les Effets Spéciaux dans le Backlot ; celles de la production musicale avec le décoiffant et renversant Rock'n'Roller Coaster avec Aerosmith bien différent de son homologue américain. Enfin, ils terminent la visite des Studios par le monde de l'animation en se remémorant l'emblématique Animagique et le didactique Art of Disney Animation du disparu Animation Courtyard, devenu Toon Studio en 2007.

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - This episode I visit Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World to watch the puppet filled Voyage of the Little Mermaid. Recorded on October 25, 2016. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. Today we head to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to check out Voyage of The Little Mermaid. The guide map describes this attraction in the following manner: Celebrate the highlights of The Little Mermaid in this live show. This attraction has no age limits and Fastpass+ is available. Here now are five fast facts about Voyage of The Little Mermaid. 1. Voyage of The Little Mermaid debuted at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on January 7, 1992 in the Animation Courtyard Theatre. 2. The show put a heavy emphasis on puppetry as during the Under The Sea number, there are over 100 black light puppets on stage. 3. The evil sea witch, Ursula is performed by a huge puppet that is 12 feet high and 10 feet wide and requires several puppeteers to operate. 4. The first actress to portray Ariel in this show, Leanza Cornett, went on to become Miss Florida and then Miss America. She has gone on to have roles on TV Shows such as The Tick and CSI. 5. Voyage of The Little Mermaid has had a long run in the Animation Courtyard theatre but it was not the first show to play there. The puppeteer filled voyage under the sea replaced another puppet related show…Here Comes The Muppets. Ironically, that show didn’t use puppets, it used walk-around versions of The Muppets characters. Now it’s time to experience Voyage ofThe Little Mermaid. After the attraction audio, I’ll give you my thoughts on this Disney’s Hollywood Studios stage show. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we experience Voyage of the Little Mermaid.
