    Disney World/Travel News May 2023   We just wrapped up the month of May, which means it's time to take a look back at all the biggest news stories that made the last few weeks so interesting.

Disney Parks head Josh D'amaro says theme parks will look for more ways to simplify the theme park planning experience after hearing numerous complaints that the experience is too complicated. This comes after Disney announced they are working on a way for guests to make Lightning Lane selections in advance so they don't have to work so hard in the morning before going into the parks. https://www.wdwmagic.com/other/disney-genie/news/22may2023-disney-parks-head-josh-damaro-says-disney-will-continue-to-simplify-the-park-experience-following-criticism-of-being-overly-complex.htm  We take some time to discuss how the increasingly complicated process of planning a vacation at Walt Disney World Resort, as well as the increasing removal of free added-value perks for on site guests, has seriously hurt bookings.  The lineup for the Eat to the Beat Concert Series at EPCOT's International Food and Wine Festival has been announced, including some exciting new artists for 2023 https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/05/first-look-2023-eat-to-the-beat-concert-series-at-epcot/  New restaurant alert!

Recently, the theme park shared details on what guests will find in the new land https://blog.discoveruniversal.com/news/just-announced-illuminations-minion-land-grand-opening/  Also coming to Universal Studios Orlando is an epic celebration of the 30th anniversary of the first Jurassic Park movie, including one of Universal's famous Tribute Stores, special menu items, and more https://www.insideuniversal.net/2023/05/universal-parks-to-celebrate-30th-anniversary-of-jurassic-park/  Travel news:TSA has expanded the ages of children who can accompany parents with Pre Check, making air travel a little bit easier for families this summer https://www.travelandleisure.com/tsa-precheck-teens-family-air-travel-7501614  Passing through TSA will be a little bit easier with other new technology being rolled out at security checkpoints https://www.travelandleisure.com/tsa-screening-technology-summer-travel-7498954  As well as expanded deployment of upgraded equipment at bag checks This airport was ranked the “Angriest in America” https://www.travelandleisure.com/angriest-airport-ranking-us-7499493  Dreamline overnight luxury “hotel train” could soon take passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco https://www.travelandleisure.com/dreamline-overnight-hotel-train-los-angeles-to-san-francisco-7495541    As always, a huge thank you to our sponsor, Key to the World Travel.

This episode first aired in July 2017: Drawing on lessons learned while losing at pool, Ryan shares what it means to have an entrepreneurial mindset as a  choir director. You will hear strategies about how to win at pool, how to lose at pool, and how to embarrassingly injure a friend during pool (with a step by step guide in the show notes). You will also hear why it is so important that we mindfully choose which kind of game we are going to play, which entrepreneurial super-skills you already posses, and how to avoid the traps that prevent you from being the real thing.   Highlight to Tweet: “If your win is a standing ovation, you need a bigger win” - Ryan Guth   Show Notes: You are already functioning as an entrepreneur in 2 WAYS: Through Task: Recruitment = Sales Market concerts Concert Programs = Graphic Design Press releases = PR Concerts = Event planning Working one-on-one with a student who’s more invested than the others = Coaching Talking to parents = Counseling/Negotiation Sending detailed emails so your students do what you need them to do = Copywriting Making resources for students like practice tracks = content marketing Updating your “teacher page” = web design Creating and upholding the rules in your choir handbook = Contracts Making an itinerary for your choir’s trip to Disney World = Travel planning Budgeting = Budgeting Picking the uniforms = fashion design Problem solver Through thought: Knows his/her own “why” Stands for something Abundance-minded Proactive Solutions-oriented Focused on personal growth and learning. Self-aware Places the greatest value on helping others before themselves. Knows other people's “Why” Takes ego out of the equation Confident in his/her unique value proposition to the world.   What’s holding you back from being great? Listening to haters and critics. It’s a long game, and a numbers game. You have to get through your “no’s.” “Good” concerts are part of the process. They aren’t all great. Worrying about things outside your control. Blaming others Comparing yourself to others Zero-sum mentality When you get close to success, imposter syndrome tries to shut you down. The biggest pitfall is sometimes the smallest one: small goals that produce small wins   Construct a big “win”...not one based solely on applause, scores, or the admiration of others. Bio: Having spent most of his middle and high school career in detention, Ryan Guth loves to speak to audiences about ways for choral directors to engage the seemingly un-engageable. Ryan learned fearlessness and indomitable spirit from a young age through many years studying the martial arts while also pursuing music – especially the time in middle school when he tried to break a board with his head in front his entire ninth grade class and failed spectacularly. He believes the best choir directors face challenges head-on (no pun intended), are solutions-oriented, and take full responsibility forall aspects of their program.  Ryan’s most popular and surprisingly positive article “Your Choir Sucks Because You Suck” was shared over 2,200 times in 48 hours, and has since become his manifesto, mantra, and the platform that his work was built upon. Through his first podcast, Find Your Forte, Ryan connected thousands of weekly listeners with some of the most brilliant minds in choral music such as Helmuth Rilling, Patrick Quigley, Joseph Flummerfelt, James Bass, and 80-plus others. He recognizes the fact we become the best when we learn from the best. Ryan Guth recently created the Choir Ninja podcast to share solutions with middle and high school choral directors so they learn to work smarter – not harder. That’s why he focuses on sharing what works in choral programs across Choir Nation in a way that makes running a great choral program approachable, fun, and rewarding. When not dressing up in his ninja jammies or buffing his diploma from Westminster Choir College, Ryan is a high school choir director in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Before that, he spent a decade building a large middle school program and six-figure-choral-ensemble-based-for-profit-business in central New Jersey. He is also the founder and sole member of the Hyphenation Club of America. Ryan will be the keynote speaker at the Iowa Choral Directors Association Annual Summer Symposium, a presenter at the Chorus America Convention in the Summer of 2017, and a guest speaker at various other conferences and workshops throughout the year. Ryan enjoys getting lost outdoors with his beautiful fiancé, Amanda, and pitbull-lab Sasha. He also dislikes socks and only wears them when absolutely necessary. This bio was sponsored by Gold Bond Powder.   Resources/links Mentioned: Choir Nation group on Facebook Email Patreon - Support the podcast! Instructions for setting up a nut-shot in a game of pool:1. Tell the unsuspecting victim you know a cool trickshot, but that you’ll need him to be your assistant. 2. Place the quarter about 8 inches from the end of the table, right down the center line. 3. Have your victim position himself behind  the quarter.4.  Hand him the two balls and, whilst patting him on the back, tell him “Now you have 4!”5. Ask the victim to place one ball at each of the corner pockets, hanging over the edge, just about to fall in.6. Direct your victim to place his pointer fingers on each ball to prevent them from accidentally falling into the pocket. 7. He will need to brace himself, so remind him to take a step back and balance on both feet.8. Now, walk to the other end of the table, and explain that through magic and complex feats of 9th grade geometry, in one shot, you will hit the two balls into each pocket. ;)9. Place the cue ball on the dot, aim for the quarter, and… if you hit the quarter just right… it’ll jump off the table directly into the victim’s unsuspecting “huevos rancheros”. 10.  Lastly, point at your victim and have a good laugh at his expense.   Sponsored by: Sight Reading Factory (Use promo code “NINJA” at checkout for 10 free student accounts!)

Disney Dine on the go dining plan - $29 per adult and  $12 for kids.  With the Disney dine on the go dining plan you get two Disney quick service meals at the Magic Kingdom.  You have to have lunch before 4 PM and dinner after 4 PM.  The Disney dine on the go plan is only available at the Magic Kingdom.  You get one meal and one drink for lunch and dinner. If you are planning a Walt Disney World Vacation the traditional Disney Quick Service Dining Plan, or Disney Dining Plan might be a better option for you. We think the average meal price at Disney World at Quick Service is about $15.  Twitter Girl Mandy tested the Disney Dine On The Go plan and saved $4 for the day vs. buying her meals without the plan.  $4 is not a great deal, but for a family of four that's $16 saved.  But if you skip a meal and go on a ride instead or your kids fall asleep, then you are losing money.  Also ask yourself if you normally eat lunch and dinner at the Magic Kingdom?  I like to snack and see attractions so I might eat just one meal myself at the Magic Kingdom.  So for me this new Disney Dine on the go plan is not ideal.  Do the math and also do the math with the traditional Disney dining plans.  Please contact a Mouse Chatter Pixie at Pixie Vacations to help you determine the best option for your vacation. Will you book this new walk up Magic Kingdom Dining plan during your next trip to Disney World?
