Sam from Sam's Disney Diary joins Len and Jim to spill the (highly theatrical) tea on Disney Cruise Line's newest ship, the Disney Destiny - where character “meet-and-greets” have evolved into full-on, semi-improvised encounters that can follow you across the voyage. Then Jim heads back to where Disney's in-park 3D film history really begins, from the 1950s 3D Jamboree at Disneyland to the studio's eternal talent for repurposing anything that is not nailed down.

Think of a cruise that gives more than sunsets and selfies. We set out from San Juan on Disney Magic after a 15-year gap, fresh off real-life health hurdles, and built a trip around slow joy: a food-forward Puerto Rico layover, a rum masterclass at the Bacardí Founders Experience, and a calm-first plan onboard with concierge comforts, spa therapy, and long, quiet reads on the veranda.San Juan set the tone. The Flavors of San Juan tour steered us to small, soulful hits—guava-butter croissants, passion fruit paletas, ceviche, alcapurrias, and DIY mofongo—before a standout dinner at La Central reset our steakhouse expectations. At Bacardí, we tasted the spectrum from raw, punchy spirit to oak-softened elegance in their rackhouse, then bottled and waxed our own distillery-only reserve. Pro tip: skip the ferry and rideshare straight to the pavilion for smoother timing.Onboard, we leaned into what felt good. Animator's Palette still crescendos to Sorcerer Mickey, while Rapunzel's Royal Table brings ruffian comedy and a lantern-lit second act. Palo remains the surest bet—go a la carte at dinner for gnocchi and soufflé bliss, and protect brunch appetite for savory stars. Soul Cat Lounge became our hangout, with Soul Duo's live sets turning evenings into an easy groove. Not everything sparkled: bar service across ship and islands felt green and slow at times. Kind people, longer waits—worth noting if timing matters to you.Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point impressed. The landscaping has flourished, shade is thoughtful, and Serenity Bay's sand feels like powdered sugar underfoot. The water clarity blew us away, and the Goombay Cultural Center's Junkanoo celebration added authentic Bahamian culture you don't get at Castaway Cay. Speaking of Castaway, our short day still delivered familiar joy and a peek at upgrades coming to Serenity Bay. We wrapped in Galveston with decompression time and an unexpected Wicked screening, then headed home grateful for an itinerary that prioritized restoration.If you love Disney Cruise Line, San Juan food, rum tasting, Lookout Key insights, and real-world tips for sailing concierge, this one's for you.

"Guests have become more sophisticated and our product needs to follow suit." Disney Theme Parks have always been at the top when it comes to large scale, interactive entertainment attractions. Doris Hardoon is a legendary Imagineer, and we don't use that term lightly. Her creative vision has graced every Disney Castle Park on the planet, from EPCOT to Disneyland and Disneyland Paris to Disney's Animal Kingdom, Disney Cruise Line, and beyond. Doris took a break from Disney to run her own design firm working on museums and other interactive design, but she returned to Disney as the executive creative director and producer for Shanghai Disney Resort. Her career at Disney theme parks and entertainment design has spanned over four decades. She joins us on REPOD to share her design philosophy and some life advice for aspiring designers. She's had a very interesting path in her career, starting with working as a model and becoming a well-known folk singer in Hong Kong in the 1960s and 70s. I especially enjoyed hearing her talk about working on the global theme parks and how “It's important to culturally understand who you're creating the happiest places on earth for.” She talks about how to design spaces that appeal to the local audience while still maintaining an authentic Disney experience. She's now turned much of her time to mentoring the next generation of entertainment designers. In this episode, Doris shares some reflections and advice on how to build the right team to support your creative vision. She also talks about how to manage corporate politics, especially when it comes to large creative companies like Walt Disney Imagineering. Doris Hardoon is a true legend, and I hope you find this episode as inspiring as I did.   Full Show Notes   Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

Send us a textThe Mickeyphile Podcast — Episode 241: Disneyland at 70: Disneyland Hotel and  “Same but Different” RidesWe're back with another chapter in our ongoing celebration of Disneyland's 70th Birthday—because after five nights, endless snacks, and enough California rain to qualify as a water feature, clearly we weren't done yet.In this episode, we dive deeper into our stay at the historic Disneyland Hotel, where nostalgia reigns supreme and the carpet patterns are… a bold artistic statement. We also revisit our attempts to enjoy nighttime entertainment that was, once again, completely drenched. Magical? Yes. Dry? Absolutely not.We continue our quest for the full 70th Key and MagicBand+ activities, also known as “collect them all even though our feet are staging a protest.” From charming classics like Alice in Wonderland and Snow White's Enchanted Wish, to the “same but different” versions of our Walt Disney World favorites—Pirates of the Caribbean, Tiana's Bayou Adventure, and Peter Pan's Flight—we break down what surprised us, what confused us, and what made us question our internal theme-park GPS.Plus, we sprinkle in updates about the Holidays at Walt Disney World and a few other bits of Disney news that caught our eye this week.All that—and whatever else we manage to get distracted by—on Episode 241 of The Mickeyphile Podcast. Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/946434275769168/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/mickeyphile_podcast/Music: “Cân thema (Mickeyphile Podcast Theme)” copyright Scott Daves 2024

Disney Cruise Line's Wish Class has sparked more debate than any fleet Disney has ever launched — and today, we're breaking down the good, the bad, and the downright controversial. From elevator layouts and the infamous “bathtub pools” to the new rotational dining shows, immersive storytelling, elevated theming, and the real-world fixes Disney implemented between Wish → Treasure → Destiny… we cover it all. We're joined by friend of the pod Jess, fresh off the Disney Destiny preview sailing, to talk through what's working, what still needs love, and whether this new era of Disney cruising truly delivers that old-school magic. We dig into: How the Wish Class layout really affects families with kids of different ages The upgraded theming, art direction, and character moments — including why Destiny feels more “Disneyland” than “Disney World” What changed (and what didn't) on the pool decks, and why parents feel so strongly about it World of Marvel, 1923, and the evolution of rotational dining The stunning new Pride Lands dinner show — and where the menu still misses the mark Hidden gems like Hero Zone, lounges, nightlife, and which ship currently balances it all best Whether you're booked on Wish, eyeing Treasure, or dying to experience Destiny after its big debut, this is your essential Wish Class Guide to help you plan smarter, set expectations, and maximize the magic.
