We take you behind the scenes of one of the most unique — and heartwarming — challenges we've ever taken on: riding “it's a small world” at Magic Kingdom for 10 straight hours to raise money for the Dream Team Project, which supports Make-A-Wish. That's right — boat after boat, loop after loop, song after song — all for a cause that's close to our hearts.We share what inspired us to take on this seemingly never-ending voyage, how the idea came to life, and why giving back through the Main Street 16 Challenge Weekend has become such an important part of what we do. You'll hear the highs, the unexpected moments of hilarity, the not-so-magical parts, and the emotional impact of seeing our community come together to support something bigger than all of us.Throughout the day, we were joined by incredible friends, fellow Disney fans, and Main Street Magic listeners who hopped into boats with us — whether for one loop or several — and helped turn this challenge into a celebration of connection, kindness, and of course… a little bit of madness. We also cover how this event ties into the larger Main Street 16 Challenge Weekend, including race day fun, the scavenger hunt through Disney Springs, and our continued mission to support the Dream Team Project.Whether you love the ride or dread the tune, this episode is packed with magic, meaning, and memories. Tune in for the full recap and find out just how many loops we survived (spoiler: a lot).Main Street 16 Challenge Weekend is coming! May 15th – May 18th, 2025 in Walt Disney WorldThis event is a way to bring our community together and rally to raise money for a great cause. Part social gathering, part scavenger hunt, part ride challenge, Main Street 16 is a combination of all the things we love about the Disney Parks—The rides, the details, and most importantly, the people. And this event is about giving back to extraordinary people.BENEFITING THE DREAM TEAM PROJECTThe funds raised during the Main Street 16 Challenge Weekend benefit the Dream Team Project, an initiative founded by Lou Mongello of WDW Radio.

Main Street Magic - A Walt Disney World Podcast

We're trading coasts and heading west for our very first trip to Disneyland! That's right—after years of covering Walt Disney World, we're finally getting the chance to experience the park that started it all. So today, we're counting down the eight things we're most excited to see, do, eat, and feel when we set foot in the Happiest Place on Earth.We kick things off with what might be one of the biggest draws for Walt Disney World veterans—simpler planning. From more day-of dining options to Lightning Lane flexibility and shorter trips that still feel full of magic, Disneyland encourages a spontaneous, go-with-the-flow style that takes the stress out of scheduling. That leads us into the vibe of the parks themselves—Disney California Adventure's uniquely themed lands, like Radiator Springs and Avengers Campus, offer a laid-back SoCal energy that's perfect for park hopping in under a minute.We'll also chat about seasonal events and entertainment we're catching during our trip, like DCA's Food & Wine Festival and Season of the Force. Add in Fantasmic! and fireworks over Sleeping Beauty Castle, and we've got a lot of nighttime magic to look forward to.Of course, Disneyland's culture and character interactions are a big part of the appeal. The more relaxed pace, roaming characters, and local passholder vibe all offer a very different feel from the Florida parks. And when it comes to food, we're more than ready to dig into some legendary Disneyland snacks—from corn dogs and churros to beignets and high-quality quick service.We'll wrap things up with a look at classic and unique attractions, the charming scale and layout, and finally, the emotional pull of walking in Walt's footsteps at his original park.Join us as we count down the top reasons we're absolutely thrilled to head to Disneyland for the very first time!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We dive into Disney's Memory Maker, the ultimate way to capture and relive every magical moment of your Walt Disney World vacation. We'll break down what Memory Maker is, how much it costs, and what's included—from attraction photos and Magic Shots to character meet-and-greets and dining experiences. Whether you're striking a pose, caught in a scream, or making a silly face with your travel crew, ride photos are a snapshot in time that bring the magic home with you. But not all ride photos are created equal so we're talking about them all.We'll explore what makes a great PhotoPass experience, from the timing and placement of the camera to the quality of the image and how well it captures the spirit of the attraction. Some offer the perfect moment to show off your themed shirts or matching ears, while others might catch you totally off guard. A few might leave you wondering where the camera even was, while others deliver the kind of image you'll want to frame the moment you get home.As Walt Disney World regulars, we've had our fair share of ride photos—some amazing, some hilarious, and a few we'd rather forget. In this episode, we'll reflect on the overall experience of these in-ride captures, how they add to the magic, and which ones really stand out. These images are part of the joy and surprise that comes with every Disney visit.It's time to say “cheese,” hold on tight, and find out which Walt Disney World attraction PhotoPass comes out on top!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We are back to break down a bracket challenge featuring some of the most popular, iconic, and flavorful dining locations across the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs to find out which restaurant will be crowned the ultimate champion.This culinary showdown spans four themed regions: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios & Animal Kingdom, and Resorts & Disney Springs. Each division is stacked with beloved restaurants, from character dining favorites to signature fine dining experiences. Matchups are judged across five key categories that define what makes a dining experience truly magical at Walt Disney World: food quality and flavor, theming and atmosphere, value for the price, service and overall experience, and popularity among guests.We discuss each restaurant head-to-head, diving into what sets them apart—from unique menus and immersive design to guest satisfaction and whether the overall experience justifies the cost. As always, we bring our personal experiences, insights, and a few fun stories along the way, making each matchup a tough and entertaining call.Will a high-end signature restaurant win it all, or will a fan-favorite character meal pull off the upset? Can nostalgia or theming outshine culinary innovation? And which restaurant has the broadest appeal to guests of all ages and tastes? It's a bracket built for foodies, Disney fans, and anyone who loves talking about great meals and magical memories.Tune in and play along as we narrow the field of 32 down to one ultimate table service champion.

It's time for some March Madness—with a Disney twist. We are diving into a bracket challenge that pits Walt Disney World's most beloved rides and attractions against each other to determine the ultimate champion.Inspired by the format of the NCAA tournament, this bracket showdown is broken into four regions: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Each region features eight attractions, seeded and matched up for a series of head-to-head battles. But this isn't just about personal favorites—it's a competition grounded in five key categories that help define what makes a Walt Disney World experience truly magical.The first category is popularity, taking into account average wait times, Lightning Lane demand, and general hype among guests. Next is theming and immersion, which looks at the storytelling, design details, and how transported guests feel once they step into the attraction. Innovation and ride technology plays a major role as well, factoring in the use of cutting-edge systems, ride mechanics, and visual effects. Then there's broad appeal—how accessible and enjoyable the attraction is for guests of all ages and thrill levels. And finally, guest satisfaction, which covers overall enjoyment, re-ride value, and consistently high guest ratings.Throughout the episode, we'll debate each matchup, make tough calls, and share some personal memories tied to the rides. Whether you're team thrills, team nostalgia, or just here for the magic, this bracket challenge is the perfect way to celebrate the best of what Walt Disney World has to offer.Will a classic attraction come out on top, or will cutting-edge technology and big thrills steal the crown?
