Podcasts about Disney Cruise Line

Today, Mike, Pam & Scott are back to get the weekend started with some relaxed Disney talk by just looking through our old photos from previous Disney vacations on our phones and randomly selecting a picture and telling the story behind it. We are trying to prove that almost every photo we take on a Disney vacation can bring back happy memories and probably had a fun story behind it!

868 · Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress: History, Debate & What's NextThe Carousel of Progress reimagining announcement sparked one of the most passionate Disney fan conversations in recent memory. Some fans are excited. Others are heartbroken. Many are somewhere in between.And all of it makes complete sense - because this attraction isn't just a show. For a lot of us, it's a memory. A person. A moment that lives somewhere deep.But before you land on how you feel, there's a story you need to hear. One that starts not with the announcement - but in the 1950s, with Walt Disney himself, and an idea that never made it off the drawing board. Because when you understand where Carousel of Progress actually came from, and how many times it has already changed, what Disney just announced looks like something very different.In Episode 868, we trace the complete history - from Edison Square to the 1964 World's Fair to every revision across six decades - and into every detail of what is coming in 2027. The new scenes. The Walt Disney animatronic. The off-planet finale drawn from John Hench's original concept art. The fan reaction breakdown. And the case, built on Walt's own words, for why the carousel moving again after 30 years might be exactly what he always intended.

5 Keys To A Smooth Disney Cruise Embarkation Day We're now within 30 days of our next journey on the high-seas. With that vacation being so close, it has us thinking a lot about that first day onboard. So, this week, we thought we'd share some of our favorite ways to make that day go as easily as possible. That's right! We're sharing 5 Keys To A Smooth Disney Cruise Embarkation Day. We'll tell you everything we've learned, including some past mistakes, so you can go into that first day with Captains Minnie & Mickey like a seasoned pro. Disney Stories of the Week Once we complete our 5 Keys To A Smooth Disney Cruise Embarkation Day portion of the show, it's time for our Disney Stories of the Week.

We hit pause for a year, then realized something: Disney doesn't stop changing just because we do. So we're back with a different kind of trip report and a big first for our family, a four night Disney Cruise Line sailing on the Disney Fantasy, plus a pre-cruise day in Orlando that turns into one last nostalgia lap around Walt Disney World.We talk honestly about what we've missed (and what we don't), from recent Walt Disney World closures that tug on our memories to updates we're actually excited to see, like the Carousel of Progress refresh. That leads straight into the bigger decision: choosing a Disney cruise as our next “classic Disney” fix while the kids grow up and our travel goals widen beyond theme parks. We explain why the Disney Fantasy feels like the right first ship, why Wish class dining doesn't really fit our style, and why Animator's Palate is at the top of our must-do list.Then we lay out the plan day by day with practical Disney Cruise planning tips: why we always fly in the day before, how one-day Disney park ticket prices changed our pre-cruise strategy, and why we'd rather do a Polynesian pool day with fireworks than rush a half-day at Animal Kingdom. Onboard, we're chasing the best food, the iconic ship horns, the Rainforest Room spa reset, teen clubs for the boys, and a special adults-only dinner at Palo. In port, we're keeping it simple with beach time on Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Key at Lighthouse Point, plus a little shopping and snorkeling for hidden Disney history.If you're planning a Disney cruise to the Bahamas or just love hearing how other families build a Disney vacation that actually fits their season of life, hit play.

Most families head into a Walt Disney World trip with a quiet fear they'll come home heavier, sluggish, and totally off track. In this episode I sit down with Jake Mayes, a fitness and nutrition coach who runs Magical Transformations, to talk about food, fitness, and the mindset that actually works on a Disney vacation. Jake and I cover how to think about eating and movement at the parks without ruining your trip. We dig into the 80/20 rule, why crash diets like 75 Hard before a Disney trip almost always backfire, and how to build a step count gradually so you are ready for 15,000 to 20,000 step park days. Jake shares his favorite clean eating spots at each park, his honest take on what to eat when you actually want to feel good, and the snacks he refuses to give up no matter what. Jake also breaks down which Disney foods sound healthy but really are not, including the truth about vegan and gluten free menu items, and how to handle food allergies at Disney quick service and table service restaurants. We get into specific orders worth trying, from the rotisserie chicken plate at Sunshine Seasons to the grilled salmon at Columbia Harbour House to the chopped salad at Hollywood Brown Derby. We close with a lightning round on Jake's favorite Disney snack he would never give up, his hot take on Joffrey's coffee, the best Disney resort gym he has ever used, and the most underrated high protein order in all of Walt Disney World.

867 · Walt Disney World Just Got Major Upgrades - and This Summer Is the Best Time to VisitThis might quietly be one of the biggest overall summer upgrades Walt Disney World has had in years.Not because of one giant new land - but because every park, every age group, and nearly every type of guest got meaningful, real enhancements at the exact same time.After being invited by Disney to their Summer Fun Fest media event, Lou Mongello goes far beyond the headlines in WDW Radio Episode 867.At one point during the event, he sat in a room with Disney leadership - park operations, Imagineering, and the facility asset management team (the most important team at Walt Disney World that most guests have never heard of) - for a candid conversation about how Disney actually makes decisions, processes guest feedback, and thinks about the future of the parks.That context changes everything that comes after it.Buzz Lightyear. Big Thunder Mountain. The Muppets. Mandalorian and Grogu. Bluey. Every park, something real - and a full conversation with a Walt Disney Imagineering Story Lead about how Disney decides what to change, what to keep, and why it all matters.Plus: why the connection between films, streaming, and parks is stronger than it has ever been. And why now - right now - is the best time to visit Walt Disney World in 2026.

Description Grab your flashlight and avoid the basement stairs because this week on Enjoy Stuff, Jay and Shua celebrate the glorious age of creature features! From giant worms and killer spiders to mischievous Gremlins and underground mutants, they revisit the movies that terrified and delighted an entire generation. Creature features, killer critters, giant worms, Gremlins, and underground monsters.  This week Jay and Shua celebrate the gloriously weird movies that made Saturday afternoons unforgettable! Plus, Jay says goodbye to Sci-Fi Saturdays, and much more on a brand new episode of Enjoy Stuff!   News "Dare to Be Stupid," a new Broadway musical inspired by Weird Al Yankovic, is officially in development with writers from Beetlejuice and Gutenberg! The Musical!   The Transformers: The Movie returns to theaters in restored 4K beginning September 17, 2026 for a special limited theatrical engagement.   Behind the Attraction Season 3 is on the way and will spotlight the history and creation of Disney Cruise Line.   Voice acting legend Tom Kane passed away at age 64 following complications from a stroke suffered in 2020. Jay shares a funny personal story and the guys reflect on Kane's incredible career. Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua has been watching The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, the new comedy starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe. The mockumentary-style series follows a disgraced former football star trying to rebuild his life while an overly enthusiastic filmmaker documents every ridiculous moment. Shua loved the absurd humor, awkward situations, and strong chemistry between the leads. Jay revisited The Birds and was reminded why it remains one of the greatest suspense films ever made. Beyond the iconic bird attacks, Jay discusses Hitchcock's masterful tension-building, unsettling atmosphere, and why the movie still feels effective decades later. After their Hitchcock episode a few weeks ago, it felt like the perfect time for a rewatch.     Sci-Fi Saturdays -  This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay spotlights his final Sci-Fi Saturdays column covering Tenet by Christopher Nolan. In the article, Jay explores how Nolan uses time inversion, reverse motion, and innovative editing techniques to create an entirely new cinematic language that challenges audiences while still delivering blockbuster spectacle.   Jay also reflects on the incredible run of Sci-Fi Saturdays itself: seven and a half years, 330 articles, and films spanning from 1950 through 2020. Beginning with Rocketship X-M and ending with Tenet, the series celebrated over seven decades of science fiction cinema while examining how the genre reflects humanity, technology, and society.    Jay also highlights his latest MCU Location Scout featuring Daredevil: Born Again and Punisher: One Last Kill. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. This week he's added some new locations from Daredevil: Born Again season 2. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.   Enjoy Creature Features!  This week the guys dive into the gloriously gooey world of creature features. Those monster-filled movies that combined horror, comedy, suspense, and pure popcorn fun into the ultimate Saturday afternoon viewing experience. From alien furballs and killer fish to giant worms and demonic little creatures, Jay and Shua revisit the films that introduced many young viewers to horror without completely traumatizing them…well, mostly.   Along the way they discuss why the 1980s and early 1990s became the golden age for lighter horror movies, the importance of practical creature effects, and why these films still remain endlessly rewatchable today. Whether it's giant spiders, Gremlins causing chaos, or mysterious monsters lurking underground, the episode celebrates the fun side of fear and the unforgettable creature classics that still make audiences smile, scream, and laugh all at once.   Which creature are you afraid of?

In this week's episode, we're diving headfirst into one of the most talked-about Disney debates, whether the Disney Dining Plan actually holds up in real life or just sounds good on paper. We're getting ready for our upcoming October trip to Walt Disney World for Wine & Dine Weekend, and we've built out a full dining game plan from quick service stops to table service reservations both in and out of the parks.Before anything is booked, Jonny puts on his very serious accountant hat and breaks down the numbers to see how the 2026 Disney Dining Plan stacks up against our very intentional “eat what we want, when we want” strategy. We're sharing our approach and our thought process, but not all the answers, because you're going to want to hear how this one plays out for yourself!If you're loving the show, we'd be so thankful if you could leave us a review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️IG: @OnceUponAParkPodcastErica IG: @TravelPlannerEricaJonny IG: @Darth.MouseEmail Us: OnceUponAParkPodcast@gmail.comReady to plan a trip to Disneyland or Walt Disney World?

Viral desserts and hidden gems. Drinks in Pandora - The World of Avatar developed with James Cameron's team. Nomad Lounge. Tiffins at 10 years.

This week on the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast, we're lacing up the running shoes, grabbing a beignet, and heading into a Disney trip that started with runDisney Springtime Surprise weekend — but quickly became about so much more than miles and medals. Curtis is joined by three Geekin' family favorites — Holly, Laura, and Heidi — for a fun, relaxed, and very Disney Geek-style trip report filled with race stories, resort time, lounges, surprise meetups, food talk, cruise talk, and one unforgettable green wig. Because when Holly shows up dressed as Disgust from Inside Out for a runDisney race, you know we're off to a good start. Planning Your Next Disney Adventure? If you're thinking about planning your next Disney vacation and some Epic Universe… My wife Margita and our good friend Auntie Judy are the Travelin' Tiaras — your trusted Disney travel planners. Whether you're booking Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Universal, or beyond… They'll help you plan a smart, stress-free vacation from start to finish. Already booked? You can transfer your reservation to us and still get expert tips, strategy, and support — and it's a great way to support the show. TravelinTiaras@gmail.com Or reach out on Facebook Messenger. And right now… there are great opportunities for upcoming travel, so it's a perfect time to start planning. Featuring This Week This episode includes: Holly, Laura, and Heidi sharing their runDisney Springtime Surprise weekend A stay at Coronado Springs and a solo stay at Port Orleans French Quarter A 10-miler, a 10K, costumes, character stops, and race-day nerves Surprise Geek meetups with Samantha, Selena, Tori, Joe, and more Food and drink stops at Le Cellier, Nomad Lounge, GEO-82, Beak and Barrel, Homecoming, and Sangria University Flower and Garden Festival bites, beignets, maple popcorn, and more Thoughts on newer Disney experiences like the Zootopia show, updated Buzz Lightyear, and Beak and Barrel A bonus cruise recap aboard Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas RunDisney, Beignets, and Green Hair The episode kicks off with Holly wearing the green wig she used for her Disgust costume during the Springtime Surprise 10-Miler — which pretty much sets the tone for the whole conversation. Holly shares that she went into the race under-trained because of a shoulder injury and made it all the way to mile nine before being swept. But what stands out is her perspective. She knew it might happen, she pushed as far as she could, and she still came away with pride, humor, and yes… the medal. Laura brings the solo-trip energy with a stay at Port Orleans French Quarter, where she enjoyed a slower pace, pool time, peaceful resort moments, and plenty of beignets. She also shares one of the funniest race moments: dressing as a bee for the Winnie the Pooh-themed 10K and trying to drink yellow Gatorade from a hard plastic honey bear bottle mid-race. That's runDisney dedication right there. Heidi took a more relaxed race approach — stopping for characters, enjoying the course, and making memories along the way. Her character stops included Nick and Judy from Zootopia, Boba Fett, Woody and Bo Peep, and Bing Bong. Some people chase personal records. Some people chase character photos. Both are absolutely valid. The Geekin' Family Shows Up One of the best parts of this episode is how the Geekin' family keeps popping into the trip. Holly and Corey meet up with Tori and Joe at Yeehaw Bob over at Port Orleans Riverside — and then get surprised when Samantha and Selena walk in. Later, Heidi gets her own surprise. And Laura talks about that feeling of traveling solo, making it through the expo chaos, and then suddenly seeing “her people” at Nomad Lounge. That's the heart of this episode. Yes, it's a trip report. But underneath the races, snacks, lounges, and Disney details is that bigger feeling we talk about all the time: Disney is better when you've found your people. Food, Lounges, and Disney Geek Favorites Of course, this wouldn't be a Geekin' trip report without food. Holly and Corey enjoyed Le Cellier, including cheddar cheese soup, pretzel bread, filet, and an ice wine flight. Laura sampled tanghulu at the China booth, maple popcorn in Canada, jambalaya at French Quarter, and the crème brûlée croissant at Gaston's. Heidi had several Flower and Garden Festival hits, including duck in France, Caribbean-style chicken, flan, and a fish slider. The lounge talk is strong in this one too. Nomad Lounge remains a Geek favorite for its cozy seating, small plates, drinks, and Animal Kingdom atmosphere. GEO-82 gets praise for cocktails and mushroom flatbread. And Beak and Barrel sparks a fun comparison to Oga's Cantina and Trader Sam's — lots to look at, some cool effects, and maybe one of those places that grows on you over time. New Disney Experiences and a Cruise Bonus The group also shares thoughts on a few newer Disney experiences. Heidi talks about the new Zootopia show at Animal Kingdom and whether it really fits the deeper theme of the park. Laura gives her take on the updated Buzz Lightyear, including the new removable blasters and the joy of feeling like a Space Ranger… even when the score says otherwise. And after the Disney portion of the trip, Holly, Corey, Heidi, and Missy headed out on Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas for a four-night cruise — complete with big-ship entertainment, shows, skating, surfing, ziplining, and a water show set to '80s music. The Real Heart of the Episode The best part of this conversation is not just the race. It's not just the snacks. It's not just the lounges. It's the people. It's the surprise visits. It's the inside jokes. It's the ride photos. It's that feeling of seeing friends you may only get to see a few times a year — but when you do, it feels like a reunion. That's the Geekin' family. And that's why these trip reports always mean a little more than just “here's what we did.” They're stories about connection.

Stay for the beignets, lounges, Flower and Garden snacks, surprise Geek meetups, and one very committed green-haired Disgust costume.

April 23rd, 2026. Two things happen at the B Street Cruise Terminal in San Diego. Disney Cruise Line announces a landmark partnership extension through 2031 — doubling sailings, projecting over a million passengers through that dock. On the same day, at the same terminal, CBP agents board the Disney Magic and walk ten crew members off the ship in restraints. A passenger films her family's head server being loaded into an unmarked van less than an hour after he served them breakfast. For fourteen days, nobody explains what happened. The operation is misidentified as an immigration sweep. Advocacy groups demand answers about detained workers they believe are immigration victims. On May 7th, federal authorities confirm the operation targeted exploitation material — not immigration status. According to CBP, 27 crew across eight ships were allegedly involved. Ten from the Disney Magic — 37 percent, more than double the next closest ship. Disney called it “a very small number.” KPBS confirmed zero charges filed. All deported within two weeks. No names. No registry. No record. Tony Brueski does the math Disney hoped you would skip. This is the opening of Cruising with Predators — a Hidden Killers investigation. The full five-part series drops next week.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We're diving deep into all the entertainment aboard the brand-new Disney Destiny — from Broadway-style stage spectaculars and immersive themed lounges to trivia, game shows, deck parties, live music, and everything in between. If you're wondering what's actually worth your time onboard, this is the episode for you. We break down Disney Cruise Line's newest entertainment offerings, including our full thoughts on Hercules, Frozen: A Musical Spectacular, and Seas the Adventure, discussing everything from the live vocals and special effects and emotional moments that make Disney cruise entertainment so unique.  Beyond the theater, we explore the ship's bars and lounges including De Vil's Piano Lounge, the mysterious Sanctum Lounge, the Haunted Mansion Parlor, and the pirate-inspired Cask and Cannon. We talk atmosphere, theming, crowd vibe, hidden details, late-night energy, and even some of the surprisingly impressive zero-proof cocktail offerings onboard. Of course, Disney cruises are about more than stage shows and lounges, so we also cover Pirate Night, Sail Away celebrations, trivia, Match Your Mate, live music, character encounters, Funnel Vision movies, and all the little entertainment moments that help bring the ship to life throughout the sailing. And finally, we head ashore to Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point to discuss the beaches, food, entertainment, cultural influences, layout, and how it compares to Castaway Cay, and our thoughts may surprise you! Whether you're sailing on the Disney Destiny soon or just love hearing about all things Disney Cruise Line, this episode is packed with honest opinions, laughs, tips, and plenty of Disney magic.

From smoky barbecue on the pool deck to elegant multi-course meals in one of the most upscale restaurant Disney Cruise Line has ever created, we're breaking down every single dining experience aboard the brand-new Disney Destiny. On this episode, we cover it all — the hits, the surprises, the snacks, the desserts, the late-night bites, and yes… even the meals that didn't quite live up to the hype. We dive deep into the rotational dining experiences including Worlds of Marvel, Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King, and 1923, sharing our favorite dishes, standout desserts, and zero-proof drinks, and which restaurants truly delivered the full Disney magic. Along the way, we talk quick service favorites at Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods, the buffet offerings at Marceline Market, coffee shops and sweet treats around the ship, room service, and more. And then there's Enchanté. Going into this sailing, Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement was one of the experiences we were most excited for. With its luxurious Beauty and the Beast-inspired atmosphere and premium price point, expectations were sky high. But did it actually deliver? Let's just say… we had thoughts. Honest ones. Some dishes impressed us, others left us the opposite of impressed, and the overall experience sparked one of the most candid conversations we've ever had on the podcast. This episode is packed with detailed food reviews, plenty of laughs, unexpected opinions, and the kind of honest conversation that we think helps listeners know what's truly worth their time and money aboard the Disney Destiny. Whether you're sailing soon or just dreaming about your next cruise, come hungry for this one.

News: The past couple of weeks, we had been seeing reports that MagicBands were becoming more and more difficult to purchase at the Disneyland Resort. Officials have now confirmed that Disneyland is ending on-property sales of MagicBand˖ Existing interactive features, like Batuu Bounty Hunters, will remain functional for current owners, however no new shipments are expected once stock sells out at the few remaining retail locations. This change is exclusive to Disneyland Resort, as MagicBand+ will continue to be supported and sold at Walt Disney World, on Disney Cruise Line, and via the Disney Store online. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/magicband-plus-disneyland-phase-out/ Star Wars fans can now head to the Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney to create their own custom Galactic ID badges. For $15, fans can step into a specialized booth to choose their affiliation and have their photo printed on a unique, transparent plastic card that mimics the high-tech look from the films. The experience has become very popular! – https://www.micechat.com/435362-disneyland-hews-star-wars-land-awakens-vader-music-construction-more/ Disney has unveiled a “shriek peek” at its 2026 Halloween merchandise, featuring a massive collection of apparel, headwear, and home décor for the upcoming spooky season. Highlights include new “Create-Your-Own” headbands with mini plush characters, a Vampire Stitch plush, and a special collection inspired by the Haunted Mansion's tightrope walker. Exclusive designs for Oogie Boogie Bash were also shared. – https://disneyparksblog.com/products/shriek-peek-at-disney-halloween-merchandise-materializing-this-year/ In celebration of “Disney Week of Wishes,” the Disneyland Resort hosted the “Wishes Assemble” event, officially recruiting nearly 40 wish kids and their families into the ranks of the Avengers. These young heroes enjoyed a private party at the resort with special appearances by Marvel stars Anthony Mackie and Paul Bettany, followed by a day of “heroic” activities within the park. This special celebration highlights Disney's 45-year partnership with Make-A-Wish, focusing on creating life-changing memories for children with critical illnesses. – https://disneyparksblog.com/community-outreach/celebrating-disney-week-of-wishes-across-disney-experiences/ Former Disney CEO Bob Iger was recently honored with the inaugural WishMaker Lifetime Achievement Award during a special “Wishes Assemble” event at the Disneyland Resort. Presented by Make-A-Wish America, the award recognizes Iger's massive impact on the organization, specifically overseeing the granting of more than 110,000 wishes during his tenure. – https://disneyparksblog.com/community-outreach/celebrating-disney-week-of-wishes-across-disney-experiences/ To celebrate May the 4th, Walt Disney Imagineering has shared a behind-the-scenes look at the technical innovation used to create the hologram of Tohan Lege for Disneyland's “Shadows of Memory” show. Since true holograms don't exist, Imagineers combined specialized projection tricks and visual effects to capture the authentic, flickering aesthetic of a Star Wars transmission. This “lore-weaver” character marks a significant narrative expansion for Galaxy's Edge, anchoring the land's story further into the Skywalker legacy. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/hologram-star-wars-shadows-of-memory/ SnackChat: Returning Halloween Treats – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-halloween-food-2026-returning/ Discussion Topic: Imagineer and Disney legend Harriet Burns with actress Haley Clair – www.imagineerharriet.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
