Today I’m joined by Missy Khamvongsa, the co-founder of the Facebook group, Disney Planning for Disney Friends (almost 50k members!) She joined me in episode 5 and shared ALL the details of bringing a one-year-old to WDW and Universal Orlando. This episode highlight the Universal Studios portion of their vacation. Here are just a few items we discuss: Hard Rock Hotel Express Pass  Diagon Alley interactive wand  The Cowfish  CityWalk Annual Passes  Despicable Me character breakfast  Three Broomsticks  Hot Butterbeer  Toothsome Chocolate Emporium Favorite Vacation memories “There were a few times where Emma’s reactions were just amazing. The first time that she saw the Frozen Sing-Along Celebration. It was just Me and her, everyone else was on either Star Tours or Rock’n’Roller coaster and so I took her to see the Frozen Sing-Along for the first time. We sat in the second row and the curtain comes up and she recognizes the music and then Anna comes on stage and she just starts yelling, ‘Anna’ and reaching out for her. And it was just, it was incredible. I was worried that maybe she would get antsy because it's a 30 minute show. She was mesmerized the whole time. It was a great experience. And then her reaction to Vampirina that we talked about earlier when we did the Hollywood & Vine breakfast was amazing. Oh, and at Royal Sommerhus at Epcot for her to meet Anna and Elsa. We were the first in our group to go into the room. And so there was one family meeting with Elsa and Anna was waiting on the other side and Emma saw that they were in the room and her eyes got wide and she's just yelling, ‘Anna, Elsa’ and Anna was waving at her and she was waving back. We learned we could just put her down next to the character and they would sit on the floor and the interaction that she would have with just her and them was just incredible. And just watching that, I started crying. My sister made fun of me because I just had tears streaming down my face because it was so lovely to see.” Learn more about Missy: Episode 5: Vacation like a Disney Expert www.magicofmainstreet.com Disney Planning for Disney Friends Missy's Facebook page Follow Missy on Instagram Follow Report the Magic on Instagram

If you have been interested in training for climbing for more than a few days, it’s likely that you know of Dr. Natasha Barnes. She’s not only a former national champion climber and champion power lifter, but is a doctor based in San Francisco who specializes in rehabilitation, orthopedic sports medicine and physiotherapy for climbers and lifters. I’ve known Natasha for some time, and when I booked a workshop in San Francisco, I knew I had to sit down and get her on the show. Hopefully the first of many appearances. In this episode we discuss pain - how we experience and react to it, as well as actionable ways to try and determine if it’s actually an injury - or just your brain convincing you that it is.

Today I'm joined by Missy Khamvongsa, the co-founder of the Facebook group, Disney Planning for Disney Friends. If you're not yet a member, you need to head over right this minute. It's a very friendly group, full of really helpful Disney planning information. Missy also blogs at Magic of Mainstreet with her husband, Franklin, and they know Walt Disney World like the back of their hands. I'm not kidding. If you have ever wondered how an expert does Disney, today is your lucky day!   Missy's Disney Journey...to 30,000 Facebook group members Disney Planning for Disney Friends  Trip Dates: October 11 - 21 Trip Planning Details Travel Party: Missy, her husband, Franklin, their one-year-old Emma; Missy's sister; Franklin's sister, her husband, their seven-year-old son, Tanner; and Missy's Dad and Stepmom (later in the week).

Memory Maker Boardwalk Villas  Hard Rock Hotel - Universal Orlando If you are looking for an agent you can email Brook at Brook@mouseworldtravel.com or find her on Facebook. Food & Wine Festival. Everything you need to know about Tables in Wonderland Tables in Wonderland  Missy's Pro Tip: For really big groups, use it for all the adults in the group and then pay regular price for kids' meals. Everything you need to know about a Disney Fine Art Photography photo shoot Disney Fine Art Photography photo shoot   Disney Parks Disability Access Service Card  - A user's experience Disability Access Service Card (DAS)   The Itinerary: 10/11 - 10/21 Arrival Day: Missy's Pro Tip: Alamo Rental Car (Alamo Insiders) Missy's family purposefully rented a minivan so it would fit all seven of them. For a minivan, Missy's pro tip is to rent with Alamo and make a reservation for a full-size car and then also a minivan reservation. If you become an Alamo Insider, you can the skip the line! So head straight to the garage and in the Orlando Airport many times there are minivans in the full-size aisle. When Missy arrived, there were two or three minivans sitting in the full-size aisle. You can then do a quick online check-in drive off to Walt Disney World, saving hundreds on your reservation that way. ESPN Club Day Two: Epcot and Disney Springs Missy's Pro Tip: Food & Wine Festival is a very local event. And so from about 3:00 PM on Friday until about Sunday morning, you will not find her at Epcot.

Day Five: Bon Voyage Breakfast, Epcot (and Blizzard Beach), and Morimoto Asia Bon Voyage breakfast Uber   Lyft  Royale Breakfast Missy’s Pro Tip: If you are in the mood for waffles, there are waffles on the kid's menu. If you ask for an adult portion, they will most likely oblige and bring scrambled eggs and perhaps sausage as an adult platter. No guarantees, but worth asking if your heart is set on waffles. Blizzard Beach  Le Cellier Morimoto Asia  Peking Duck Missy’s Pro Tip: You can also get Kakuni Pork Bao from the Street Food window outside!

"You, my friend, are an idiot." So declared Marcus Hall when his business partner Alan Springate called him with an idea to create the first ever sushi burger bar.

Want to know what is coming soon at Universal Orlando? How about some Universal Orlando inside tips on visiting the park, saving money and getting the most out of your stay? Tamara and Kim share tips from their recent visits and interview Brittany Baron from Universal Orlando to get all the inside scoop. ON THE PODCAST :30 Kim and Tamara describe the layout of Universal Orlando 3:45 Universal Orlando CityWalk 5:40 Tamara's top 3 tips for Universal Orlando 7:56 Kim's top tips for Universal Orlando 13:45 Brittany Baron from Universal Orlando 16:15 What's coming soon to Universal Orlando 21:20 Volcano Bay waterpark 22:22 Hotels at Universal Orlando 25:32 Best time of the year to visit 28:15 Ticket options 30:45 Tips for Harry Potter fans 36:01 Eating at Universal 42:32 App of the week 44:55 Next week -- flying with kids   ABOUT BRITTANY BARON Brittany Baron is a Senior Representative on the Universal Orlando Public Relations team. Joining the team in 2010, Brittany has had the opportunity to launch annual events, new attractions and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Brittany is currently leading efforts to open the newly-enhanced The Incredible Hulk Coaster, opening in late summer, and Universal's first water theme park, Volcano Bay, opening in 2017. You can follow Universal Orlando on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.     TIPS FOR VISITING UNIVERSAL ORLANDO Stay on property to get into the parks and hour earlier than general admission (especially if you are a Harry Potter fan) Get to the gate early as they often open the turnstiles before it would open because the opening time is usually the time they start the rides. This gives you time to get back to your favorite rides Go to Ollivander's wand shop early to not have a line and have a better chance of being selected to participate The Express Pass is a must-do for thrill-seekers, especially if you can get the unlimited Express Pass so you can ride attractions multiple times Child swap is available for parents of small children Bring a small day bag (not a large backpack) that will fit into the ride lockers The Harry Potter rides have a lot of storytelling that happens just in line so if you have a pocket that buttons, you may want to bring a phone or small camera to capture those moments, but even if you don't, just take your time to enjoy those aspects of the ride The Minions ride is very popular so even the Express Pass lane is very long but if you want, you can go in the "no motion" line and that is generally very short. It is the same ride experience except the ride vehicle doesn't move. Best times to visit: Universal Orlando's Mardi Gras (January-February) with parades and great performances Halloween Horror Nights -- for those 13+ there are scare zones, haunted houses and special after dark events It is busiest when kids are out of school but it can get busy during special events also You can purchase Express Passes in advance or on-site (but the price will go up based on availability) WHAT'S NEW AT UNIVERSAL ORLANDO New details have been released about changes to The Hulk this summer: King Kong also opens this year, see more details here.  Volcano Bay opens in 2017 and will be Universal's first waterpark, located near the Cabana Bay Resort, which they promise will "completely redefine the waterpark experience." HOTELS AT UNIVERSAL ORLANDO Loews Portofino Bay Hotel -- modeled after an Italian village Loews Royal Pacific Resort -- themed after the South Pacific Hard Rock Hotel -- looks like Hotel California from the Eagles album cover Cabana Bay Beach Resort -- beach retro hotel You get unlimited Express Pass access when you stay at Loews Portofino Bay, Loews and the Hard Rock Cafe All hotels have early access to the theme parks, dining on property and free transportation to the parks In 2016, they are opening the Loews Sapphire Falls Resort will be themed after the Caribbean with waterfalls and the largest pool on-site. FAVORITE RESTAURANTS IN UNIVERSAL ORLANDO Leaky Cauldron and Three Broomsticks (in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade) -- Brittany likes the Great Feast at the Three Broomsticks Vivo Italian Kitchen -- fresh made pasta daily and homemade mozzarella Cowfish -- burgers and sushi NBS Sports Brew & Grill Hot dog Hall of Fame -- hot dogs from ballparks across the country Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen opening in 2016 FAVORITE PARK GEAR Brittany always dresses comfortably with good walking shoes and clothes that are quick drying for the water rides. Kim likes using a sling bag when visiting amusement parks, like this one from Kavu. APP OF THE WEEK The Official Universal Orlando Resort app provides wait times, ride descriptions, maps, and dining information.

Among the more famous are the Ruisu Garden at the Geneva-based headquarters of the World Trade Organization, the Garden of Flowing Fragrance at the Huntington Library in the U.S., and the Yili Garden in outskirts of Paris.You are listening to NEWS Plus Special English.
