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.

We're recapping a packed Disney trip that took us from Blizzard Beach to EPCOT, from a one-night resort stay to Banana Ball, and finally to Disney's Animal Kingdom for breakfast, snacks, shopping, and Disney's new Bluey experience. We kick things off at Blizzard Beach, where we cool down with some water park fun, try a couple of sweet treats including the S'mores Churro, and even run into a listener along the way. From there, we head to EPCOT to check out the limited-time Annual Passholder Lounge inside Restaurant Marrakesh and share whether this summer perk is worth making time for. Next, we check into the Meliá Orlando Celebration for a one-night stay before heading to ESPN Wide World of Sports to experience Banana Ball. We'll discuss the atmosphere, entertainment, and whether this unique event lives up to the hype. On Saturday, we make our way to Disney's Animal Kingdom for breakfast at Satu'li Canteen, check out some new merchandise, sample snacks from Isle of Java and Pizzafari, and join the virtual queue for Disney's newest Bluey experience. Along the way, we highlight our favorite moments, biggest surprises, best values, and the experiences we'd most recommend.

Which ones make you nervous?

Fresh off another whirlwind Disneyland weekend, Tim and Audreyann recap a trip that had a little bit of everything: Bluey dance parties, Star Wars updates in Galaxy's Edge, ride breakdowns, long waits, tired kids, and the emotional rollercoaster of doing Disney with children in wildly different stages of life.They talk about the new Mandalorian version of Smugglers Run, the return of classic Star Wars characters, why staying “outside the Disney bubble” completely changed the vibe of the trip, and why the Bluey show may have been the highlight of the weekend. Plus, the reality of Disney trips with a stubborn 5-year-old, split-up ride strategies, Memorial Day crowds, and the moment they realized family Disney trips are starting to look very different than they used to.It's funny, chaotic, nostalgic, honest… and very relatable for Disney parents.

867 · Walt Disney World Just Got Major Upgrades - and This Summer Is the Best Time to VisitThis might quietly be one of the biggest overall summer upgrades Walt Disney World has had in years.Not because of one giant new land - but because every park, every age group, and nearly every type of guest got meaningful, real enhancements at the exact same time.After being invited by Disney to their Summer Fun Fest media event, Lou Mongello goes far beyond the headlines in WDW Radio Episode 867.At one point during the event, he sat in a room with Disney leadership - park operations, Imagineering, and the facility asset management team (the most important team at Walt Disney World that most guests have never heard of) - for a candid conversation about how Disney actually makes decisions, processes guest feedback, and thinks about the future of the parks.That context changes everything that comes after it.Buzz Lightyear. Big Thunder Mountain. The Muppets. Mandalorian and Grogu. Bluey. Every park, something real - and a full conversation with a Walt Disney Imagineering Story Lead about how Disney decides what to change, what to keep, and why it all matters.Plus: why the connection between films, streaming, and parks is stronger than it has ever been. And why now - right now - is the best time to visit Walt Disney World in 2026.
Ready to begin your journey of healing? It's time to reclaim your life with elite and discreet premium psychotherapy with Dr. Gregory T. Obert;
Join us for episode 489 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast! We're officially off the rails. What started as a constructive conversation about the new Muppet-themed Rock ‘n' Roller Coaster quickly devolved into a complete, unscripted mess. In this episode of Theme Park Trader, we attempt to map out the perfect "Muppet Land" and brainstorm which classic attractions deserve the Muppet treatment. However, things take a turn for the chaotic when we dive into the rumor mill regarding Bluey coming to Rafiki's Planet Watch—a topic that nearly ended the friendship (and the podcast). If you want to hear us argue about intellectual property placement, propose an absurdly high-maintenance Muppet buffet, and admit that we might actually be the Muppets ourselves, this is the episode for you.
If you are heading to Walt Disney World for Cool Kids Summer in 2026, this is a must listen. To meet Bluey at Animal Kingdom, you will need to join a virtual queue. I have all my best tips for you on how to do it successfully, and you can use this for other rides and attraction virtual queues that Disney may release in the future! I hope you enjoyed today's show. I'd love to connect with you over on Instagram @mountains_of_magic or Facebook at Fantastical Vacations by Daniele.

Len Testa and Jim Hill break down a busy week in theme park news, from Bluey crowd control at Animal Kingdom to Universal's possible drone-show ambitions. Len also crunches the numbers on the best days to visit Magic Kingdom, because nothing says vacation like 22 million wait times and a spreadsheet with emotional damage. Then Jim digs into Disneyland's opening-day ticket scandal and why Walt Disney may have had very good reasons to sour on Western Publishing. NEWS • Disney's Animal Kingdom prepares for Bluey with a virtual queue and some serious toddler-capacity math. • Len explains why Sundays may be your best Magic Kingdom bet from January through July, while party season flips the calendar. • Disneyland's Autopia goes electric in 2027, raising questions about batteries, car design, and Tomorrowland's long-overdue tune-up. • Universal Orlando surveys guests about pets, which may hint at Secret Life of Pets possibilities in Florida. • A new Universal patent features an onboard animated figure, possibly a frog, possibly a nightmare with wheels. FEATURE • Jim revisits Disneyland's chaotic 1955 opening day and the mysterious flood of “legitimate” invitations. • The story points toward Western Publishing, one of Disneyland's earliest investors and official printers. • Walt's later decision to buy out Western may have had more behind it than simple business strategy. • Also discussed: C.V. Wood, Black Sunday, Bob Gurr, Richard Nixon, and why the Secret Service probably hated the monorail. For this episode's full show notes, click here.

No Braincast 633, Carlos Merigo, Cris Dias, Hiago Vinícius, Ken Fujioka e Bia Fiorotto discutem a Bro Tax: o pedágio simbólico que transforma produtos comuns em objetos aceitáveis para homens inseguros com cuidado, higiene, saúde ou prazer. O papo passa por Liquid Death, a água com estética de caveira e atitude; pela brasileira Dane-se; pelos lenços umedecidos “de homem” da Dude Wipes; pelo Man Cereal, cereal com proteína, creatina e slogan sobre “recuperar as bolas”; e por marcas que transformam sabonete, maquiagem, protetor solar, barba, skincare e até café da manhã em performance de masculinidade. A pergunta é: isso é branding brilhante, diferenciação em categorias sem graça ou só mais um jeito de vender insegurança masculina em embalagem preta fosca?

Okay… this one still feels a bit surreal to say out loud. Right after the federal budget dropped, I sat down with Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, and Finance Minister Katy Gallagher to ask the questions our She’s on the Money community actually wants answered. We covered a lot. We spoke about housing affordability, negative gearing, capital gains tax changes, childcare costs, women’s health, paid parental leave, fuel prices, the gender pay gap and what the government is actually doing about the cost of living pressure Australians are feeling right now. We also had a really honest conversation about why the government changed its position on negative gearing, and whether politicians genuinely understand how financially stretched people are feeling. But because this is still She’s on the Money… things also went slightly off the rails. We somehow ended up talking about ChatGPT, Bluey, subscription creep, the Met Gala, free McDonald’s burgers, sourdough, single people being forgotten by the system, and the Prime Minister’s thoughts on Sabrina Carpenter’s outfit choices. Which, to be fair, was not where I expected budget week to go. If you’ve been trying to make sense of what just happened in Canberra, this is the budget breakdown you actually want to hear.

Chris and Tim come at you this week talking about the hype for new ride features tied to The Mandalorian and Grogu, 70th anniversary merch is on sale, and The Devil Wears Prada pushing Disney to $2 Billion in films for Disney this year. The guys also talk about how Disney is streamlining so much at the parks through the app!
This week there’s a LOT of pent-up frustration… and for once the kids aren’t entirely to blame. Ash is convinced Bluey is ruining his life, Matt’s at war with the latest pet Marlie’s brought home and a faulty door lock has officially cock-blocked Matt and Laura. The boys bond over the one baby product they’re sick of seeing dumped on the side of the road. Plus more things we were ridiculously confident about before becoming parents… back when we still had free time, energy and sex lives. Consider yourself a smart shopper?

Naming a person is a challenge—but one Melbourne family has made their relatives compete for the privilege of a surname. This week Monz, Stacey and Amelia are talking about the Melbourne couple who settled their surname debate with a best-of-three rock-paper-scissors showdown. So, should we be making all family decisions via a game of competitive Jenga from now on? Plus, the school holiday rule that has parents feeling like they’re back in detention. Amelia shares the enormous effort she poured into an official essay just to take her kids overseas, as we debate if ‘world schooling’ is a genius move or just a recipe for burnout. Also, it’s the show that saved our collective sanity, but behind the scenes, Bluey is the focus of a billion-dollar financial mess. We dive into the trending story and explain the details the internet seems to be missing. And, why does Mother’s Day feel a little bit… off? We’re looking into the unexpected history of the holiday and why it’s okay if you’re feeling more ‘complicated’ than ‘celebratory’ this Sunday. Reccos Amelia recommends Caper Crew; as if The InBESTigators was directed by Wes Anderson. Monz is loving the ‘Parental Path’ video hack to capture your kids’ little voices before they grow up, plus it's a great last-minute Mother's Day gift. Stacey recommends the ‘Do It For Dolly’ campaign and the 13-DOLLY support line for any families navigating the gut-punch of school bullying. If you or anyone you know is struggling and needs to speak with an expert, please contact your GP or in Australia, contact Lifeline (13 11 14), Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800) or Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636), all of which provide trained counsellors you can talk with 24/7.

Len Testa and Jim Hill return with a caffeinated mix of Disney news, listener questions, and one deeply researched (and slightly petty) rant about guitar accuracy. They also explore the mystery of Walt's unfinished apartment bathroom and debate just how early is too early for Halloween. Then Jim brings the main event: the story of how Maxwell House coffee landed on Main Street, missed its big debut, and ultimately got shown the door - paving the way for a quieter, smarter coffee strategy at Disneyland. NEWS Preview dates announced for Soarin' and Rock ‘n' Roller Coaster starring the Muppets, with guests likely riding by mid-May Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run may finally make the engineer role matter (yes, really) Bluey's Animal Kingdom appearance may skip meet-and-greets entirely, possibly to avoid crowd-control chaos Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party now starts August 7, because apparently summer needed pumpkins EPCOT Food & Wine Festival returns in late August, continuing Disney's “why wait for fall?” strategy FEATURE The original deal that brought Maxwell House Coffee to Disneyland - complete with big promises and bigger expectations Why the Main Street coffee house wasn't ready for opening day (and stayed that way for months) The rain-soaked grand opening that didn't help Disney's relationship with its coffee sponsor How Hills Brothers stepped in, kept the New Orleans theming, and quietly made the concept work The evolution of the location from sponsored coffee house to struggling restaurant to retail space For this episode's full show notes, click here.
