Rainy Days Goes Best with Dry Cider in the Barrel Room Walking into the barrel room at Oliver's Cider and Perry Company, you might think you know what to expect. But surrounded by whitewashed stone walls, standing beneath the old Hessian sacking floor, and facing rows of aging barrels, I quickly realized this wasn't just a cidery—it's a living, breathing creative space for cider making. Tom Oliver sources fruit both from his farm and from local orchards across Herefordshire. This isn't an estate cidery where everything is grown on-site—but what sets Oliver's cider and perry apart is Tom himself. A master blender with an instinct for balance, he brings character to every bottle. And while the farm may not produce every apple, it certainly imparts its own terroir through the land, the barns, and the quiet, purposeful rhythm of the work. Tom and Ria In this Cider Chat Blending Tradition with Innovation Tom is now experimenting with distillation: apple brandy, pommeau-style blends, and barrel-aged perry into brandy too! He's careful with naming, refusing to call something a “Pommeau” unless it honors French tradition. Barrels sourced from rum, sherry, port, bourbon, and white wine shape each unique blend. Tasting in the Barrel Room In the barrel room We tasted perries straight from the barrel—some from single ancient trees, others blended with gin pears or red pear varieties. Each sip revealed: Confectionary sweetness Banana, melon, pineapple notes Mellow malolactic fermentation This isn't a showpiece cidery as Tom puts it, “It's a working farm“, evolving from a hop yard and now cider. Tom calls it “just a part of the agricultural calendar.” No pretense, just purpose. Tom Oliver straddles the line between tradition and experimentation with ease. Whether it's a single-varietal showcase or a spirit-kissed blend, the goal remains the same: make cider that speaks of time, place, and people. Contact info for Oliver's Cider and Perry Co.

Confectionary is big business. The global market is worth over a trillion US dollars and all the forecasts suggest that figure is set to continue rising. But with so much competition, and a population increasingly concerned with topics such as sustainability and animal welfare, it is more important than ever for new products to stand out. In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with Royal Avebe, we look at how potato starch is providing some solutions to these concerns. Is it possible to create confectionary products that are sustainable, guilt-free and delicious? And how does potato starch fit into the conversation?

March 19th might be just another day in other parts of the United States, but here in New Orleans it's a day when revelers take to the streets in honor of the Feast of St. Joseph. The tradition of food altars dedicated to Jesus' foster father came to the Crescent City in the late 1800s with immigrants from Sicily, where Joseph is the patron saint. What was called Mi-Carême (or Mid-Lent by the Creoles) was a day when fasting was suspended and festivities abounded. On this week's show, we explore the holiday and join in on the celebration. Tony Marino's family were faithful followers of St. Joseph, and today, he keeps the tradition alive at his Bourbon Street home in New Orleans' French Quarter. We sit down with Tony to hear what it takes to pull off his annual street party, complete with altars and a life-sized statue of St. Joseph. Then, Arthur Brocato, third generation of Angelo Brocato's Ice Cream and Confectionary, joins us to share his family's history and explain the special role Brocato's has played in the St. Joseph's Day celebration. Founded in the French Quarter in 1905, the gelateria and pasticceria continues those traditions today on Carrollton Avenue in Mid-City. Finally, historian Laura Guccione joins us to reveal what she's discovered about the fancy dress balls that were once part of the St. Joseph tradition and to explain the mystical tie between the feast day and the Mardi Gras Indians.

Build your own buzz, control your own destiny! In this episode, Lindsay Pinchuk welcomes Dear FoundHer's first guest in the cannabis industry and the last guest of 2023, Jenna Goldring. Jenna is the founder of The High Confectionary, a micro-dose direct-to-consumer gummy manufacturer. Jenna shares her entrepreneurial journey as a new mother in the male-dominated cannabis industry. We explore how Jenna identified a gap in the market for low-dose edibles, driven by her own experiences as a cannabis user with a low tolerance. Despite facing challenges in a market that primarily targeted high-dose consumers, Jenna was determined to create a product that allowed users to control their experience.Throughout the episode, Jenna discusses her transition from a corporate job to full-time entrepreneurship, the complexities of navigating the cannabis industry's compliance regulations, and the recent pivot from cannabis to hemp products. She shares valuable insights on building a brand, the power of networking and reaching out to industry leaders, and the importance of realistic expectations and self-care as a new mother and founder.Quotes:“I think when you feel something inside of you that's like, I want to go do this. I believe in this. I know I can do it. And even if you fail, you're going to learn so much in the process. You got to just bet on yourself. I mean, that's what everyone else does.” (14:35 | Jenna Goodring) “It was a lot of just networking. It was a lot of me being like, here's what I want. What are the pieces that make this up? And how do I go find them? The internet is an amazing tool. You can find anything on it. And I think people forget that. So I watched a lot of YouTube videos. I tasted a ton of products. I researched who made those products. And I found my suppliers. And it was really just a lot of research, due diligence, and networking.” (17:10 | Jenna Goodring) “I think just having no expectations in the beginning is my biggest piece of advice, whether you're a founder or just a first time mom. Just see what happens. See how it goes. Don't expect it to be a certain way. Get in the groove. I think there's so much pressure for babies to sleep this way and eat this way and moms to recover and lose weight. And it's not real. Maybe for some people, but for others, your journey is going to look different. And so I would say just be open and easy on yourself.” (41:09 |Jenna Goodring)Connect with Jenna Goodring:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/highconfectionaryIf you like what you're hearing, please leave a rating or review at ttps://ratethispodcast.com/dearfoundher Marketing Made Simple for Small Business is Lindsay's new group mentorship program that helps you create the right content and messaging to connect with your community, drive sales, AND generate a simplified process for putting it out into the world, to grow your following and bottom line.

Countdown's aiming to make healthier choices easier for customers, and combat checkout 'pester power'. The supermarket chain —soon to be Woolworths— has committed to 80% of foods at checkouts carrying a Health Star Rating of 3.5 or more. It's also moving "kids confectionary" elsewhere. Woolworths NZ Nutritionist, Deb Sue, told Mike Hosking that this same approach has had really good feedback in Australia. She said the intent is not to take away choice, but simply to nudge people to make healthier choices. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since the pandemic, more than 70,000 restaurants, diners, and cafes in the US have closed. And many places that did manage to reopen didn't make it long. Another thing that happened during the COVID lockdown; CBD and THC skyrocketed in popularity. Now, cannabis appears to be giving a new lease on life to some formerly-shuttered eateries.In this episode, host Brit Smith talks to Chef Andrew LeSturgeon and Will Fleming of Milkweed Cannabis Confections in Burlington, VT about how their infused confectionary line is revitalizing their culinary brand post-pandemic.As Chef Andrew explains, their famed fine diner 'Monarch and the Milkweed' closed its doors in 2020, but they were able to keep their line of CBD confectionary 'Milkweed Cannabis Confections' going. Eventually, after months of closure, Andrew and Will saw a silver lining and decided to rethink their mission with their popular cannabis candies at the forefront. Now, they're making their post-pandemic comeback by focusing solely on their CBD and THC line of treats.Andrew and Will discuss the experience of closing their restaurant, and how it forced them to pivot and incubate their existing CBD chocolate line. They also talk about the importance of staying true to their roots by continuing to use high-end local ingredients, while infusing it with local organic full-spectrum cannabis for Vermont and Massachusetts consumers.Get your issue of Different Leaf magazine at DifferentLeaf.com or find your local in-person seller at DifferentLeaf.com/on-the-newsstandLook dope with some Different Leaf merch from xDifferentLeaf.comFollow us on social media @DifferentLeaf and find host Brit Smith @BritThe BritishWe'll be back in mid-October with our fall podcast season!

Prime Energy drink, a popular beverage created by prominent YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul, is facing scrutiny as US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer calls for regulators to investigate its marketing tactics. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about concerns that have been raised regarding the high caffeine content of the drink, which Schumer alleges is targeting children. The beverage, containing 200 mg of caffeine per 355 mL can, packs twice the amount found in its rival, Red Bull. Back in 2022, Logan Paul and KSI introduced the caffeine-free Prime Hydration drink, which swiftly gained online popularity. In January of this year, the caffeinated Prime Energy drink was launched, promoted as both sugar-free and vegan. Adhering to responsible consumption guidelines, each can of the beverage clearly cautions against its consumption by individuals under 18 years of age, caffeine-sensitive individuals, pregnant women and breastfeeding women. The team wonders whether Schumer has a strong enough case and how strongly regulations are enforced when it comes to children purchasing and consuming energy drinks. Also in this episode, Sydney talks about Nestlé's new groundbreaking sugar reduction technology that not only significantly diminishes sugar content, but also brings additional benefits to a wide array of products. Nestlé uses an enzymatic method to cut down intrinsic sugar levels in ingredients like malt, milk and fruit juices by as much as 30 percent, with only a minor effect on the products' flavor and texture. The sugar-reduced ingredients are then incorporated into the recipes for a variety of products. There is no requirement for additional sweeteners or bulking agents to substitute the removed sugar volume. The sugar reduction method was initially trialed in cocoa and malt-based ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages in Southeast Asia. The ongoing expansion will soon extend to other product categories like dairy powders. The team believes this new technology is coming at an excellent time, when artificial sweeteners are being deemed unsafe and there is a hyper focus on nutrition labels, especially when it comes to sugar.

Inflation is now coming for your candies too. Additionally, it appears that OTT, digital payments, and shifting consumer behaviour are contributing factors to the problem. According to industry experts, given the current inflationary conditions, it is challenging to maintain profits at the Rs 1 price point.

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. Today we are speaking with Mark Cecchetto. Mark acts as the President of Nestle Canada's Confectionary Division and lives in Toronto. Mark grew up in a healthy family environment where he was encouraged to explore and where the expectation for a successful future path was also not negotiable. Originally wanting to have a career in sports management – with the ultimate ideal as the GM of the Blue Jays – Mark saw a different path emerging as he became a young professional. We discuss several “oh crap” moments through his life and his need to look for rougher waters. We discuss at length his passion for mentoring and helping those younger than him and the angst and fear he sees in many as a reflection of his past worries. We learn about what “A” word best defines his expectation for his two children. And what we're really curious about is what he's trying to cleanse when we discuss his non-professional life.

Visit The Website: https://herewiththemagic.com Watch Here: https://www.youtube.com/HereWithTheMagic Connect on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/herewiththemagic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herewiththemagic/ ---------- (1:57) They say there's no place like home for the holidays, with all those familiar sights and sounds of the season bringing comfort and joy to parlay whatever we've confronted over the course of the last eleven months. We can rely on the same homes in our neighborhoods to put up dazzling light displays year after year, the same bakeries and coffee shops to send aromas of molten chocolate and sugary, buttery temptation wafting into the streets like frost dissipating into the morning mist. Bursts of serotonin sound like jingle bells and the clip-clop of horse-drawn carriages, Bing Crosby's dulcet tones and the silence (yes, the silence) of a gentle midnight snowfall. Here at the Magic Kingdom, coming home for the holidays might look a little different than the Christmastimes of our childhood memories. As we enter the tunnel beneath the glossy and grand Walt Disney World Railroad Station, it becomes apparent to us at once that the elves who transformed this space into a holiday wonderland spared no detail or extravagance. All around us, every lamppost and railing, window and doorway are wrapped in elegance. Evergreen garlands and velveteen bows, golden accents and glimmering lights surround a Christmas tree of mesmerizing grandeur. All at once, we are transported into a fairytale of such imagination that it calls to mind the divertissements of the great Tchaikovsky. (3:36) Into the pines we go, to the land of the sweets, perhaps, or to the turn-of-the-century charm of Main Street, U.S.A. Either way, the caramel and cocoa wafting toward us from the nearby Confectionary inspire visions of sugar plums, and the sight of Cinderella Castle in the distance is the convergence of fantasy and reality that could only flow so seamlessly within the realms of a Disney park. (5:17) Beneath the popcorn strands and flickering candles of the Town Square Christmas tree, there are park benches scattered about, calling to those of us who have spent much of the season in frenetic preparations and planning. Have a seat, won't you, and listen to a symphony of classic holiday carols surround you in comfort and joy. Imagine yourself Here, watching the Kingdom in its holiday revelry, the windows of the Emporium a panorama of warmth and cheer to reflect the faces of shoppers and diners, families and friends. It may not be the park bench in your own village park, your favorite seat on the front porch or that squashy armchair by the fire, but there is no doubt that something about this place feels like home. Maybe it's the smiles and laughter all around us, the resilience of the human spirit shining brightly in the warm glow of Christmas lights. Maybe it's the sights and sounds that live in our memories and play our for us Here, like a film we'll gladly watch over and over again. (7:03) Or maybe it's something less tangible, less obvious. Maybe the Magic of the holidays is the very Magic that first brought this storybook Kingdom to life, and that which continues to inspire our journey and our zeal for discovering moments of joy in every corner of the world. Maybe the reason we feel at home in places so far removed from our routines because they remind us of something deeper, something intrinsic that cannot be replaced or forgotten. Here in the heart of the Magic Kingdom, we find an escape, a respite, a glimmer of hope in the midst of our circumstances…a moment of joy in the wake of our chaos. Let's be Here, then, in the luminescent embrace of the Christmas tree, on this quaint little park bench. Feel the Magic of the season surround you and fill you, welcoming you home for the holidays. (9:00) Throughout our insatiable quest to find quiet moments of joy in wide and wonderful world we live in, we've found that Magic is especially persistent at this time of year. It twinkles and dances and glows on the faces and facades we encounter all season long, and these glimpses of enchantment are what bring the holidays to life. Wherever we are, when we stumble upon those moments - when we feel joy and peace and renewed hope in our hearts, where we hear laughter billowing like radiant song - we have found home. So wherever this year has taken you, whether near or far from the places you know and the people you love best, you can always come home for the holidays. Even in the most unlikely places, even amongst families and children from all over the world, you can feel the cozy familiarity of a yuletide fireside. As it turns out, we don't need a living room out a Norman Rockwell painting, a Feast of the Seven Fishes, or even a White Christmas to experience the joy of the season. Its spirit lives within us, a lighthouse reaching into the depths of dark winter's night, like a friend who never truly parts from our company. Always there, always waiting, always Here to bring us home for the holidays. Experience the Magic of the season whenever your heart is longing for home. We're always Here, waiting, a lighthouse to help you find your way to a quiet moment of stillness and lasting joy. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, one and all.

Visit The Website: https://herewiththemagic.com Watch Here: https://www.youtube.com/HereWithTheMagic Connect on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/herewiththemagic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herewiththemagic/ ---------- [02:46] The Most Magical Place on Earth is known to be full of surprises and delights for all ages. A simultaneous sense of peace and excitement washes over the young and young at heart, wrapping us in a warm embrace and inviting us to assume our roles as the ensemble of the enchanting tale that is told anew here each and every day. Anticipation escalates as we approach the Walt Disney World Railroad Station, gateway to the Magic Kingdom and prologue to the magnificent story that we can sense is about to unfold. Our heart skips (and so do our feet) as we approach the station, just in time to hear that familiar "Choo Choo!" of the train whistle as it steamrolls into its stop on Main Street, U.S.A. [04:33] Our walk through the train station tunnel sets the scene for our cinematic journey, a preview of the story about to unfold. Just as you would see as the precursor to a feature film, "coming attractions" line the walls as we travel back to turn-of-the-century America, offering glimpses of all the Magic and wonder that lay ahead. We step out into a bright, sunny day in the early 20th century, alive with all the friendliness and charm of small town U.S.A. Locals greet us as we meander past City Hall, while the town's merriest residents situated around Town Square to greet the newcomers, offer direction, and simply welcome us into the place they call "home." The atmosphere is light and joyful, playful and peaceful in simultaneous synchronicity. Show tunes and ragtime melodies amplify the whimsy of this place, reminding us of bygone days that somehow feel so familiar, although we never lived through the eras of their depiction. [04:52] As we leave Town Square, we herald a passing trolley car, which pauses on its journey right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A. to welcome us aboard. This is the heart of America at the start of its entertainment heyday. A glimpse into the age of whimsical new discoveries designed to captivate all ages, Main Street U.S.A. is a step (back) in time. After centuries of toil, foraging and rebuilding to create the America of modern day contexts, folks who were hardly making time to enjoy a moment to themselves could be found on a Saturday afternoon in penny arcades, licking ice pops in the heat of the day and catching a cartoon in the cinema with the whole family. We can smell a sticky, sweet aroma drifting through the trolley, its caramel scent tempting our departure. The Confectionary is truly a Main Street, U.S.A. destination, a whimsical candyland where delectable temptations are dipped, decorated and displayed for passersby to lure them into indulgence. On the left, the Main Street Emporium is a treasure trove of sundries and souvenirs to remember a day spent in the Vacation Kingdom. [7:31] The clip-clop of horses and clang-clang of a bell lets us know that another trolley is approaching, and you never know who you might see aboard as it passes by. Waving in welcome and pausing to disembark and greet visitors with a song and dance, the young lovers of small town, U.S.A. are celebrating our arrival. Dressed in their Sunday best and spruced up for the season, you can't help but feel their infectious joy as jazzy brass and foot-tapping percussions make you want to sing and dance along. [12:45] As we continue to make our way up the street, the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor wafts the scent of waffle cones out into the street to entice visitors out of the heat and into an ice cream sundae. Casey's Corner is batter up with ballpark favorites, hearty fare to remind us of summertimes at a ball game, complete with Cracker Jacks and ice-cold soda pop. Minding we don't succumb to the chasms of trolley tracks, we make our way from Main Street into the Hub, a vast, sprawling courtyard filled with fountains and trees and grassy lawns for a picnic or a brief respite. [17:31] Up ahead, the gleaming spires of Cinderella Castle shine brilliantly in the sunlight. It's breathtaking, striking in both beauty and a sort of unreality that is both intriguing and enchanting. Still, adventure is calling, and the distant sound of tiki drums is too inviting to ignore. And so we bid our trolley car engineer a warm adieu and head in the direction of the percussive pandemonium. [18:19] Welcome to a land of mystery and discovery, brought to life by bongos and exotic songbirds, rushing waterfalls and the “yo-ho” of swashbuckling pirates. [19:47] An impressive treehouse climbs up through the tallest, widest limbs of Adventureland, stretching skyward in an entanglement so inseparable from the tree that it looks to have simply grown that way. The thatched roof, netted walls and mismatched brick-a-beach give all evidence to a hideaway for the most resourceful adventurers, of which we are surely included. [20:37] Beyond, we see the resident tiki gods are whistling in hollow, wooden tones as adventurers pass on their way to the World-Famous Jungle Cruise. Whether or not they return from this exotic foray…well, the tiki gods are always hedging their bets. [21:10] In the distance, we hear the unmistakable belt of a steamboat roaring into motion. Still, our attention is occupied by the Agrabanian marketplace we've stumbled into, ornate lamps and jewels scattered on groaning tables in tents for our perusal. Overhead, some mystical, enchanted carpets soar above Adventureland with passengers tipping this way and that. This is obviously the best way to get a bird's eye view, but be warned about the camels: they spit. [24:05] A jaunty accordion calls us away from the Arabian marketplace and into a Caribbean Mercado by the sea. Welcome to Tortuga, the stomping grounds of pillaging, plundering pirates. A seaside fortress clearly overtaken by the conquering seafarers, we'll have to keep our possessions close as we pass through; these pirates are not to be trusted. And so we continue, from the muggy shores of the Caribbean islands and into the parched desert of the American West. [25:48] Welcome to Frontierland. A town straight out of an old wild, wild western film and just as riddled with playful confusion, Frontierland is home to singin' country beats, a briar patch full of laughing critters, and a runaway mine train you'll hope doesn't go awry when you decide to climb aboard. A lively hoedown of banjos, mandolins and an unmistakable fiddle bring this tumbleweed town to life. A resounding “yee-haw” would not be out of place here, accompanied by the mechanical gunshots of players at the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade. Here, folks are accustomed to takin' it easy, and that sounds mighty fine to us. [28:42] Now, we could find ourselves a rocking chair on the porch of Pecos Bill's Tall Tale Inn and relax the day away, but there is much more to discover. We are once again traveling back in time, though back further than the turn-of-the-century. It is 1776, the birth year of America, and we are in the midst of a patriotic palaver that could only be called Liberty Square. Delicate four-four time signatures compose the waltz of this colonial town, redolent with signs of freedom and pride, from the Liberty Bell proudly displayed in the shade of the Liberty Tree and its 13 lanterns to the Hall of Presidents, a hallowed tribute to the nation's leaders across the centuries. We've found the source of the steamboat whistle; the stately Liberty Belle awaits embarkation for a trip down the Rivers of America. [31:02] We, however, are working our way upstream. Past the handsome mansion on the hill that rumor has it is ghoulishly haunted, and under the viaduct that separates Liberty Square from a place less rooted in history and more in, well, fantasy. Stepping out into the sunlight once more brings us right into the heart of every fairytale and “happily ever after” we've ever known. Welcome to Fantasyland. [31:27] It's off to Neverland upon entering this daydream come to life. A tower in the distance calls to mind the wistful maiden who brushed seventy feet of hair each day and longed for the chance to live a life beyond her narrow confines. The children of the world dance and play in harmony together on the musical tour of nations, it's a small world. And isn't it, though? How far and wide we've traveled, and how much more there is to see! [32:51] A clock chimes us into the afternoon as we make our way into the heart of Fantasyland, where a carousel stands as a talisman of childlike delight. Young and old riders choose their regal steed as our favorite fairytale melodies twinkle from some invisible calliope. [35:50] Beyond the castle walls and out of earshot of carousels and clock tower chimes lies a peaceful, quiet village on the edge of an undoubtedly enchanted forest. A quaint little cottage emits curious puffing and whirring sounds, and a fountain at the center of the village spills water out of triumphantly raised steins, held aloft by a most imposing figure and his crony. Violins lilt and twirl out the notes of a catchy waltz, a tribute to the enchanted objects that inhabit the castle in the mountains beyond, and their yearning desire to be “human again.” [37:43] All at once and yet seamless in its transition, those violins give way to a trance of woodwinds. Here we find a charming palace by the sea, extended by elegant stone archways that serve as aqueducts to let water rush in and out of the rocky harbor. A cascade of waterfalls climb over mossy rocks and half conceal a mysterious grotto, where legend tells that mermaids swim and gather treasures from the world above. [38:45] To the South, we hear the tinkering of seven diligent dwarves in a nearby diamond mine, their resounding “heigh-ho” the sign of the workday's end. It is evening, and as the sun gleans closer to the horizon behind us, we carry on. [39:23] The day's end does not draw a line under the fun, apparently, because it seems we've stumbled upon the Big Top circus as its rolled into the Magic Kingdom. The exuberant brass band music invites us to “step right up, step riiight up” and enjoy the marvelous wonders (and cool air) of Pete's Silly Sideshow. This place is perhaps the most colorful and whimsical of all we've visited today, with fortune tellers and snake charmers and magnificent flying elephants taking to the skies. The young and the young at heart find much to entertain them here, laughter a constant vibration above the din and echoing all around. [45:24] The future is calling, and for that we bid the circus farewell and head into our last stop in the Magic Kingdom. This intergalactic adventure is unlike anything we've seen yet. From Star Command to Progress City, this place is a vision of the future that we get to experience in our present. Welcome to Tomorrowland. [47:20] Instead of taking our tour of Tomorrowland on foot, we welcome you aboard yet another highway in the sky: The Tomorrowland Transit Authority: PeopleMover. A spacious and open air carriage in the clouds, the views up here (and the breeze) can't be beat. As dusk settles onto the Magic Kingdom, we watch the sun sink low and golden hour turn to blue as we make our way around Tomorrowland. [47:37] We speed past the hum and purr of the Tomorrowland Speedway, an attraction often smelled before it is heard. (If you know, you know.) The otherworldly spires of Space Mountain exude an iridescent glow in the fading light, enticing the curious into the cosmos. All around Tomorrowland, the familiar voices of monsters and space rangers can be heard amid the disembodied voice of our guide and the robotic, xylophonic music. So much to see and discover, this was the only way to catch it all while still adhering to Roz's “tight schedule.” [52:00] And so our grand circle tour of the Magic Kingdom comes to a whirlwind conclusion as we find ourselves back once again swaying to the ragtime swing of Main Street, U.S.A. We've had quite the adventure, traveling through time and space to spread the wings of our imaginations and experience the wonder so often lost at the culmination of childhood. The Magic Kingdom is a place that grants permission to those who have been told that whimsy is for weekends and fantasy is to be associated with ignorance. This is truly a place of yesterday and tomorrow, of fairytales come to life, of endless possibility. We hope you've enjoyed our journey through the Most Magical Place on Earth. We hope it has brought nostalgia and provided a space for joyous reflection. We hope it inspires your own imagination to awaken once again and soar to new heights. It is always Here for you, as are we - Here, With the Magic. See ya real soon!
