Podcasts about Disney Magic

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to book a really good 5 day/4 night Disney Cruise Line deal that ultimately led to a remarkably great experience on The original Disney Magic. It's a trip where we left from Port Canaveral, visited Nassau and the new Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, and then disembarked after a day at sea in San Juan Puerto Rico. Our experience gave us great insights to new experiences as well as provided us a chance to revisit the original Disney Cruise Line ship. While we are saving Lookout Cay for our next podcast, there is still a lot to share about this trip, and it will give you some insights not only about this itinerary, but booking late, and about what it's like to come back to the original Disney Magic. Oh, and we're dealing with a grown autistic son--so yeah it's kind of a crazy trip. That said, climb aboard as we head on a Disney Magic Voyage with San Juan Puerto Rico. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

We're diving headfirst into another round of our Main Street Magic Mailbag: Listener Q&A — one of our favorite series because we truly never know what questions are coming. They're funny, thoughtful, surprising, and sometimes just delightfully odd… which makes them perfect. We kick things off with a question about the biggest Disney purchase we regret.We break down the decisions we would absolutely not make again. Next up, we get hit with a brutal “Would you rather?” dilemma: Would you rather never try new Disney foods and drinks again, or never try new attractions? It's the kind of question that makes you choose between your taste buds and your thrill-seeking heart. We also chat about how we'd redesign an attraction queue to make it more interactive, and we come up with a few ideas that would turn waiting in line into part of the fun.From there, the holiday spirit sneaks in with a whimsical question about which job we'd choose if we worked in Santa's workshop. Would we be toymakers, bakers, reindeer wranglers, or something even more chaotic? We break down the roles that fit us and the roles that would absolutely backfire.We also explore what it would be like to spend Christmas in a Disney movie universe. With so many magical worlds to choose from — animated, live-action, wintery, colorful — we debate where we'd want to celebrate the season.Then, a big one: What must-do experiences should first-time visitors, especially kids around 8 and 11, absolutely not miss? We cover attractions, shows, character moments, and little magical touches that make a first visit unforgettable. We also squeeze in a mini conversation about iconic Disney shirts and how quickly they become conversation starters.Next, we look at the top items still lingering on our Disney bucket list — the experiences we haven't crossed off yet but can't wait to someday. Finally, we wrap things up with a delicious question: What type of new food booth would we add to EPCOT's Food & Wine Festival? We dream up flavors, themes, and creative menu ideas we'd love to see join the festival lineup.It's a fun, lively, listener-fueled episode filled with Disney talk, holiday vibes, park tips, food dreams, and plenty of laughs. Grab your headphones and enjoy another round of Main Street Magic Mailbag!

Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Sean and Olivia as they discuss the times that cast members have sprinkled some pixie dust for them or another guest, the themed resort hotels they would make based on IP, the Disney sidekicks they believe deserve their own spinoff, and which animatronics they would like see become characters who walk around the parks. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: If you've been to a Disney theme park you've probably seen some Disney “Magic.” Tell us of a time a cast member has” Sprinkled some pixie dust”, for you, or another guest. Question 2: If Disney gave you unlimited budget to create a new themed resort hotel, what would be your concept and which IP would you base it on? Question 3: Which Disney sidekick deserves their own spinoff movie? Question 4: Which animatronic should be able to become a real boy? As in, which animatronic in any park would you most like to become an actual character we can see in the parks walking around? Bonus Question: James is coming after Disneyland and DCA with his bulldozer. What is ONE attraction at each park that he would find you chained to in protest?

Send us a textThis week on Citrus Corner, we're diving into a packed lineup of Disney Parks news — from classic attractions reopening early to new refurbishments and patriotic celebrations on the horizon!✨ In This Episode:

The name call at boarding barely landed before Daniel and Callae's kids started pointing at everything—the chandelier, the horn, the characters waving from above. That set the tone for a retirement celebration that doubled as a first Disney cruise for a 17-person crew, and the story only got better from there. We dive into why a smaller ship (hello, Disney Magic) made big-family travel feel manageable, how YouTube tips both helped and melted away, and the simple choices that changed momentum—like swapping an embarkation buffet for a seated lunch and letting the older kids roam together to chase autographs.Castaway Cay brought warm rain and calm water that turned first-time snorkeling into legend. Nassau became an intentional “sea day” for slides and pools, a choice that saw nerves at the AquaDunk turn into hands-high triumph. And then Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point arrived with powdered-sugar sand, vivid “mermaid water,” and thoughtful design that feels like the Bahamas shaped by Disney, not dressed up as it. Trails, splash zones, and easy shade made it a place to linger, while cast members kept the day smooth—even when tired legs needed a golf cart back.Evenings brought Broadway-quality shows—Twice Charmed, Tangled, and a pinch-me finale with Disney Dreams—plus Pirate Night fireworks and family dance parties that stitched joy between generations. Rotational dining was a masterclass in hospitality: the same server team intuiting kids' orders, nudging us toward new flavors, and always, somehow, another perfect dessert. We talk kid clubs, Marvel meet-and-greets, soft-serve strategies, and the quiet win of seeing your stress score dip mid-cruise. If you're planning a first voyage—or wrangling a big group—this is a candid, detailed map of what worked, what they'd tweak, and why they're already eyeing Alaska out of Vancouver.Loved the journey?

Hey Ohana, On this week's show we chat with our friend Megan about some of the fun ways we can make Halloween a little more Disney. While we'd all love to be able to spend the Halloween season in our favorite place, we can't always get there. But that doesn't mean that we can "Disneyfy" our Halloweens. From decorating our homes and dressing up as our favorite Disney characters, to watching Disney movies while carving Jack Skellington into our pumpkins, we chat about all the different ways Disney influences our Halloween at home. Oh, and we also debate if it's Mischief Night or Goosie Night (lol you'll want to hear our brief chat on that toward the end of our episode haha). Thanks again for tuning in and as always... See Ya Real Soon! THANK YOU to our friend and the official TA of MTADA, Sue Passauer. If you're thinking about a Disney vacation, be sure to reach out to Sue for all your planning needs!

Over five unforgettable nights, they share candid reflections, humor, and heartfelt appreciation for Disney's new island Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, their experiences as concierge guests, and the growing list of “hangar-worthy” cocktails discovered along the way.Listeners get a mix of luxury travel insight, Disney cruise tips, and relatable laughter, including stories of serendipitous friendships, epic meals, and lessons learned about sunscreen, umbrellas, and the dangers of mixing champagne tastings with motion at sea.

The Beak & Barrel Pirates of the Caribbean tavern is the latest lounge to open at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World.

Complete with a rowdy pirate crew, an affable parrot first mate (Rummy), story-driven details, and savory food and drink, The Beak & Barrel is an experience that will leave the whole family wanting to set sail like a true pirate of the Caribbean.   In this episode, I chat with CJ from WDW Magazine about our experience at a media preview for The Beak & Barrel.

When Tony-nominated designer Emilio Sosa and creative powerhouse Julia Caston joined forces for Disney's Descendants: The Rise of Red, magic happened—literally. In this vibrant interview with host Catherine Baumgardner on The Voice of Costume, they reveal how two different worlds—Broadway spectacle and cinematic precision—collided to create the franchise's boldest visual universe yet. From Balenciaga-inspired gowns for Brandy's Cinderella, to hand-rhinestoned Doc Martens, to the challenge of designing for massive dance sequences and tight shooting schedules, Emilio and Julia open up about collaboration without ego, the “best idea wins” philosophy, and the delicate balance between storytelling, fashion, and fantasy. They share behind-the-scenes pivots, like redesigning Ursula's look mid-production, and discuss how hundreds of unseen artisans—from tailors to truck drivers—bring costume dreams to life. Full of laughter, candor, and craft secrets, this episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about costume design, filmmaking, Broadway, Disney, collaboration, and creative resilience.

What happens when a meticulously planned Disney vacation collides with unexpected illness? Travel agent Sara returns to the podcast to share her remarkable journey combining Walt Disney World parks with back-to-back Disney Cruise Line sailings on both the Magic and Treasure. The adventure begins with a red-eye flight and her family's first experience using Disney's Disability Access Service, providing valuable insights for parents of neurodivergent children. When both Sara and her daughter fall ill during their park days, we discover how Disney's medical services save the day with surprising efficiency and reasonable costs. Her firsthand account demystifies what happens when sickness strikes far from home—valuable knowledge no travel guidebook adequately covers.As the journey shifts to the high seas, Sara offers a rare perspective comparing Disney's oldest ship with their newest. The Treasure emerges as a clear favorite with its thoughtfully designed spaces and immaculate theming, while both Castaway Cay and Lighthouse Point receive detailed reviews. Shore excursions provide unforgettable moments, from making friends with a bee named Waxy during a conservation tour to a heart-pounding encounter when a stingray jumps on Sara at Stingray City.Beyond the adventures, Sara shares wisdom only frequent cruisers discover: the magic number for cruise length, why family cabanas are worth the splurge, and how Disney's newest entertainment offerings like the Moana stage show are raising the bar for cruise entertainment. Whether you're planning your first Disney vacation or your fifteenth, Sara's candid experiences offer both practical guidance and the inspiration to embrace the unexpected moments that often become our most treasured memories.----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

Walt Disney Imagineering invited me on a very special and exclusive tour of their headquarters at 1401 Flower Street in Glendale, California. This tour gave me the chance to chat with Imagineers, visit multiple Imagineering departments (model shop, sculpting, sound, animation, and R&D), attend demonstrations and presentations, and experiment with some innovative Imagineering technology. I got to power on a realistic Star Wars lightsaber, play with the lovable BDX droids from Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disneyland and Walt Disney World), and touch and feel silicone samples from Pirates of the Caribbean Battle for the Sunken Treasure (Shanghai Disneyland), just to name a few exciting milestones. In addition, I had the opportunity to interview Imagineer Dave Crawford inside Walt Disney Imagineering. All of this will be shared in today's episode.   In this episode, I share more details about my behind-the-scenes tour of Walt Disney Imagineering, including what I saw and what I learned from the experience.   Thank you to Walt Disney Imagineering for this very special opportunity.   Get bonus content, ad-free episodes, and more at patreon.com/imaginationskyway.   Create your own Disney travel memories with our sponsor KMV Travel.   Subscribe to WDW Magazine and receive 15% off with code SKYWAY when visiting https://www.wdw-magazine.com/shop/?ref=SKYWAY   Tag me and join the conversation below.

In honor of Women's History Month, we're producing a two-part series about two visionary and trailblazing artists: Mary Blair and Milicent Patrick. They went to the same art school. They each began working at Disney during the Depression. They were both singled out for their talents but left in 1941. From there, they went on to have wildly different careers, but each had a lasting impact on pop culture. In part one, I talk with authors and historians Mindy Johnson and Mallory O'Meara about Milicent Patrick. She started as a special effects animator on Fantasia before designing the Gill-man from Creature from the Black Lagoon. Plus, I talk with makeup and effects artist Steve Wang about why the Gill-man is a horror icon. Mallory O'Meara's book is The Lady From The Black Lagoon, and Mindy Johnson's book is Ink & Paint: The Women of Walt Disney Animation. This episode is sponsored by Hims.
