We all have things that we love about Disneyland. Little things that just "make" the trip for us, and we would feel almost empty without experiencing. Sometimes those things can be very different from one another, despite how relatively small the park is. Today, we go around and talk about our ideas of ... It's Not A Trip To Disneyland Without ... But first - We open talking about our brand new studio and how new everything is for us. Despite our fumblings, we think the show sounds pretty good! Then some exciting news about Covears for us personally, flowing right into Taren's Thinks - this one is about Stevie Wonder. Terrence discusses the last step he took to be on the Disney Mom's Panel, and tells us if he made it or not. Then we jump into the meat of the show - what makes a trip to Disneyland for each of us. More talk about our 100th show, where it could be, and the realization that we'll have to sell tickets to the show so that we can really put on a great experience for you all. Feedback, Fact of the Show, and that's it. See you in the parks! If you squint, you can see the construction of Star Wars Land in the background!

A big part of being a Disneyland fan is getting great info on the parks, tips on making your stay that much better, and opinions on which Churro stand is faster. Sometimes it's nice to just sit back and listen to people review their trips as well, which is why we bring our ... Disneyland Trip Review & Disney News But first ... Taren runs through a massive amount of feedback we have gathered over the last few weeks, while Jason plays a sampling of his new passion - Greek Music! Then we jump right in to the topic - our Disneyland trip review! Bev, Taren, and Jason all went to the parks recently, and it was a pretty special trip for all of us. We cover the cool Indiana Jones celebration that the Annual Passport program put on, as well as finally get our chance to experience Disneyland in the rain! Then we play another game of Disney Trivia that Jason put together, and had three callers battle it out for a really cool prize - a pair of Covears! Finally, we run through some Disney News and share some laughs. Hope you enjoy the show, and we'll see you in the parks! The turnout to hear Tony Baxter talk about Indiana Jones!

They say you should get a job doing something you love, that way it will never truly feel like work. Well, where else can that be but in Disneyland? If you have ever wondered what it takes to be on stage in a Disney Park, then you'll want to pay close attention as we learn ... How to be a Disney Performer But first ... Jason starts the show by expressing his love of Stitcher Radio and it's free podcasts (of which EarzUp is one of), including his new favorite, Welcome to Night Vale. If you are into sci-fi/comedy/bizarre things, then you'll dig Night Vale. Greg the Donator took advantage of our new policy that allows reoccurring donors to give us things to say on the air by penning a "poem" for Terrence and Jason to read. He did have directions for the boys to do numerous interpretive dances, but Terrence's leotards were at the cleaners, so we opted out of that portion. Taren and Jason announced their new venture, Covears! They are cute little covers for your Mickey Mouse ears that allow you to dress up your hat while in the parks. They slip on and off with ease and will not damage your hat in any way. A cool way to add some personality to your favorite ear hat. Finally, we get our guest on the line. Steve has been performing at Disneyland for a number of years, and had some really great tips on how to land a job entertaining guests for a living. He does live performances and song-and-dance numbers, and does a great job diving into detail about what it means to work at a place like Disneyland. It was a great interview, and Steve did a wonderful job making Terrence cry as well as letting us know how to be a Disney performer. Before we exit the show, Taren and Terrence hash out their thoughts on the movie Frozen. "The Frozen Throwdown" came about from Taren hating Frozen, and Terrence challenging that thought. They got together and hashed out their thoughts in the only way they know how ... on the air. Does learning how to be a Disney performer feel like pulling the sword from the stone? We break it down for you!
