In this Disney news and planning episode of the Adventures of a Disney Dad podcast, Matt and Chip break down several new Walt Disney World discounts, major attraction updates across the parks, and one of the most common questions families ask when planning a trip: where should we eat? Quick Service Edition! From new ticket deals that could save families hundreds of dollars, to the return of Soarin' Over America and the arrival of Bluey and Bingo at Animal Kingdom, this episode covers a wide range of updates that Disney fans should know about right now. Matt also walks through how some of these discounts can actually be stacked together, and why the math behind Disney's dining plan doesn't always work the way families expect. Then we dive into a full discussion ranking quick service dining across Walt Disney World, including the best spots in each park, hidden gems at Disney Springs, and the locations we usually avoid.

859 · EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival Sweet 16 Bracket-Style TournamentWhat happens when you take the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival Sweet 16 desserts, and put them into a bracket-style tournament, recorded LIVE at the Festival?You get delicious chaos.After the success of last year's Savory 16, we're doing it again. But this time we're diving into the sweetest side of EPCOT's most beautiful festival. From nostalgic cereal milk shakes to fruit sushi, funnel cakes, frozen cobblers, and unexpected surprises, 16 desserts go head-to-head across World Showcase to determine one champion.I am joined by two fellow foodies (who joined me for our Savory 16 tournament last year), as we walk the promenade, taste every contender, debate favorites, and crown the Best Sweet Treat of the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival.Along the way we talk festival strategy, surprising standouts, value picks, and the dishes you absolutely should not miss.If you love EPCOT festivals, Disney food, or just playing along with your own bracket in the parks, this one is for you.Subscribe for more Disney insights, reviews, and conversations, and join the community in the WDW Radio Clubhouse.
Send a textIn this episode, I'm sharing exactly how my family is preparing for our upcoming Disney Cruise on the Disney Dream and all the things we've booked, purchased, and planned to make this trip as smooth as possible. If you're planning your first Disney Cruise with kids, this episode gives you a real behind-the-scenes look at how one family is organizing everything before we step on the ship.I start by walking through the special extras and experiences we booked for this sailing. My girls and I will be doing Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique onboard, which is something they've been dreaming about, and we are also booked for the Royal Court Royal Tea, which is known as one of the most magical princess experiences on Disney Cruise Line. My husband is starting embarkation day with the World of Old Fashioneds bourbon tasting, and we've planned an adult dinner at Palo on the day we visit Lookout Cay.We are planning to skip Nassau this trip so we can enjoy the ship with smaller crowds, explore more of the spaces onboard, and really take advantage of everything the Disney Dream has to offer. We'll still be getting off at Lookout Cay, but Nassau will be our chance to relax and experience things like the adult areas, lounges, and other parts of the ship we might miss when it's busy.I also talk about how I budget for Disney trips, including creating a “Disney Bucks” system just for this cruise the same way I do when we go to Walt Disney World. This helps me plan for souvenirs, experiences, and extra spending so nothing catches us off guard once we're onboard. I'm also using Easter as a way to gather items the kids need for the trip, which is a great way to slowly collect cruise essentials without feeling like you're buying everything at once.One of the biggest parts of cruise prep is what to pack and what to buy ahead of time, especially when you're cruising with kids. My kids are ages five through fourteen, so we're covering almost every stage of traveling with children. In this episode I go through the list of things I've purchased so far to make life easier onboard, including items like:• Magnetic hooks for extra storage in the cabin • Door magnets to decorate our stateroom • Fish extender gifts for the kids • Kids lanyards and card holders for their Key to the World cards • Small crossbody bags for the older kids • Walkie talkies so the kids can check in with us around the ship • Portable phone chargers • Packing cubes for organizing everyone's clothes • Towel clips for the pool deck • Dry bags for beach and water days • Disney trading pins for onboard pin trading • Autograph books for characters • Small night lights for the cabinI also talk about our stateroom setup and why we booked two veranda rooms that sleep three to four guests each so we have a little more space while sailing.And hopefully by the end of this episode, you'll Support the showHey Welcome to Well Hello Magic!

Send a textThinking about booking your first Disney Cruise Line vacation but not sure where to start? In this episode, I'm breaking down everything I've learned so far about Disney cruising for beginners as someone who still considers herself a learning cruiser.After sailing on the Disney Wish, preparing to sail on the Disney Dream, and already having the Disney Destiny booked for the future, I've realized that a Disney cruise is a completely different type of Disney vacation. It still has the characters, incredible entertainment, and storytelling Disney is known for, but the pace, planning, and overall experience feel very different from a theme park trip.In this episode, I walk through what a Disney cruise actually feels like onboard, and how to approach planning your first sailing without feeling overwhelmed. We talk about the three different Disney Cruise Line ship classes and how to decide which ship may be the best fit for your family depending on itinerary, ship size, and onboard experiences.I also explain how Disney rotational dining works, what to expect from the casual dining locations, and how the nightly Broadway-style shows and entertainment schedule work onboard. We'll cover the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app, which becomes your command center during the cruise and helps you track activities, dining schedules, character meet and greets, and daily events happening across the ship.If you're wondering about Disney cruise pricing, deposits, and final payment deadlines, we break that down as well. I explain when cruises are typically cheapest, how Disney cruise pricing changes over time, and what additional costs to plan for like gratuities, Port Adventures, and Enchanted Extras.We also dive into Disney cruise excursions, including when it makes sense to book a Disney Port Adventure versus exploring ports on your own, and how to avoid common first-time cruiser mistakes.Finally, I share a few lessons we've learned so far about what makes cruising with Disney special and why this style of vacation is quickly becoming my husband's favorite Disney trip. If it were up to him, we'd probably be sailing two or three times a year.Whether you're actively planning your first Disney cruise, comparing ships, or simply cruise curious, this episode will give you a clear overview of how Disney Cruise Line works and what first-time cruisers should know before they book.If you're looking for Disney cruise planning tips, ship comparisons, cruise costs, and beginner advice, this episode is a great place to start.Support the showHey Welcome to Well Hello Magic!

When your heroes show up, five nights on the Disney Magic with Marvel Day at Sea, concierge calm, and two ports packed with culture turn into one amazing trip! We dig into the real logistics, why staying in Galveston can beat Houston for embarkation, how concierge perks like hot breakfast room service and late luggage cutoff change your pace, and why a little prep unlocks the best Marvel encounters.From the first sea day, the ship transforms. Warriors of Wakanda training with General Okoye, Avengers-style shield and bow sessions for kids, and playful shipwide announcements turn hallways into a story. We secured Heroic Encounters thanks to a timely concierge nudge and landed memorable moments with Gamora, Groot, Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Iron Man. The culinary star is the Marvel Day at Sea dinner menu that's deep, varied, and a clear upgrade over Pirate Night, proving Disney Cruise Line can refresh classics without losing its soul.The nighttime crescendo, Heroes Unite, stitches fireworks into the plot for a high-energy, family-friendly show with surprise appearances and just the right edge. Between events, we share honest notes on a spa that didn't sparkle this time, fun Soul Duo sets, and small wins like a chocolate martini with a sense of humor. Port days add balance: in Cozumel, we taste Mayan cacao, learn why cocoa was currency, and paint vibrant alebrijes. In Progreso, we navigate the four-mile pier, opt for a private tour, explore climbable ruins with renovated facilities, and cool off in surface-level cenotes—keeping heat and distance in mind.We wrap with crowd context from a midwinter break sailing, final sea day highlights like Palo Brunch and mixology, and candid thoughts on future itineraries. Would we chase another Marvel Day at Sea? Absolutely—though we'd pick a different home port for smoother travel. Tap play to get practical tips, character strategies, dining musts, and a feel for how Marvel magic can elevate a classic Western Caribbean cruise.

Disney Cruise Line's 2027 itineraries are officially here—and they might be the clearest sign yet that the fleet is entering a new era. The headline move? The Disney Wish is heading to Europe for the first time. After years of short sailings out of Port Canaveral, Disney is finally sending a Wish-class ship across the Atlantic, signaling a more mature fleet, longer itineraries, and a more global strategy. In this episode, we break down what's available to book for 2027 and what it all means. We cover: The Wish moving to Europe and why it matters How the growing fleet is changing deployment strategy Alaska expansion and Caribbean reshuffling Where each ship is sailing in 2027 Which itineraries will go fast (and which might surprise you) What this says about Disney Cruise Line's future With more ships, more regions, and more variety than ever, 2027 isn't just another deployment drop—it's a snapshot of a cruise line that's growing up fast.
Disney Destiny is the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, operating in the same class as the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure cruise ships. Featuring a Disney, Pixar, and Marvel hero and villains theme, the Disney Destiny features spacious state rooms, world-class entertainment (Disney Hercules stage show), legendary dining, action-packed kids clubs, daring adult escapes, and fun for the whole family. In this episode, I chat with my travel advisor and business partner Kelly Craig about her first Disney Destiny cruise ship experience. We discuss everything you need to know about this newest Disney Cruise Line ship and offer advice for your next Disney Destiny cruise experience. To plan a trip, be sure to work with KMV Travel.
