Podcasts about Disney Springs

We're counting down the Top 10 Walt Disney World Park Catchphrases—those iconic lines, safety spiels, and magical quotes that have become just as legendary as the attractions themselves. Whether they give us chills, crack us up, or instantly transport us to our happy place, these lines are part of what makes the Disney experience so unforgettable.From classic rides like Haunted Mansion and Spaceship Earth, to modern hits like Cosmic Rewind and Flight of Passage, we're diving into the best of the best across all four Walt Disney World parks. We're not just sharing the quotes—we're also bringing the backstory, fun facts, and a few hidden details you might not have known about your favorite rides and their most quotable moments.Of course, we had to sneak in a few honorable mentions too—because let's be honest, narrowing this list down to ten wasn't easy. And yes… the Monorail made the cut.So whether you're listening from Main Street, your car, or just trying to hold off your next trip a little longer, join us as we celebrate the unforgettable lines that live rent-free in every Disney fan's head. Some are funny, some are heartfelt—but all of them are pure Disney magic.MEI-Travel – Expertise. Ease.

We're throwing on our festive gear and stepping into the holiday spotlight to answer one big question—which Disney after-hours party is the best of the season? Is it the spooky fun of Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the cozy charm of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, or the retro glitz of Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios?We're going head-to-head-to-head as we break these parties down across multiple categories—everything from entertainment and character sightings to food, vibes, crowd levels, and overall value. We're each casting our votes in every round, sharing our thoughts (and probably disagreeing a few times), and by the end, we're crowning our pick for the top Disney holiday party of the year.If we're being honest, we know some of you are debating which one to attend—and some of you are just planning to hit all three. Either way, we've got you covered.So we're grabbing our trick-or-treat bag, our Santa hats, and maybe a sparkly blazer or two, and we're inviting you to join us for the ultimate festive face-off!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

I'm joined by a very special guest—my daughter Kailyn—as we recap a whirlwind Disney weekend full of sun, snacks, and some serious theme park hustle.Kailyn hadn't stepped foot in the 4 Walt Disney World parks since Thanksgiving of 2023—and before that, Christmas 2022. But rewind a bit further, and she was basically raised at Disney. As a longtime Annual Passholder, she spent years visiting once or twice a month with us, until both kids eventually hit that wall a lot of families know all too well: Disney burnout. So they let their passes go, took a step back… and just like that, a new chapter began.But this past weekend, we opened the book again. On Thursday, it was off to Typhoon Lagoon for a splash-filled day of water slides, waves, and lazy rivers. Then we cleaned up and headed to Disney Springs for shopping and dinner at Wailulu Bar & Grill. (Spoiler: we'll be talking about poke bowls, fish, and tattoos.)And then came Friday—a 16-hour park day that took us to EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom and packed in 20 attractions. We're talking thrill rides, strategy, food fuel, and some genuine moments of rediscovering the magic.You'll hear Kailyn's honest take on what it was like coming back after nearly two years away, how the parks felt different, and what moments reminded her why she used to love it in the first place.This is a special one for us—a dad-daughter Disney trip with laughs, nostalgia, and a whole lot of fun.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

Let's talk dining in Disney World. Today I'm sharing everything I ate on my last pre and post cruise trip. First stop the Riveria Resort and some amazing quick service, then dinner at Trattoria Al Forno and a stop at the new Cake Bake shop on the Boardwalk. We hop on the cruise and end our time with a day of snacking at Typhoon Lagoon and a stop at the Boathouse in Disney Springs. Find out what we liked, what's skippable, and what we will definitely try again.

In this rewind episode of the Main Street Magic Podcast, we're going back to one of our Disney Prep Series favorites—Disney's water parks!We originally recorded this episode when only one park was open, so you may hear us mention that throughout the show. But don't worry—both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach are now open and ready for you to splash into some serious fun!We're sharing the history, theming, fun facts, pricing, and our best tips and tricks to help you make the most of your water park day. And here's some even better news—if you're staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you now get a complimentary water park day on your check-in day through the end of 2025, with that offer continuing into the summer of 2026. Pretty awesome, right?So while the episode is presented exactly as it was when first released, everything still holds up—and now you have even more ways to enjoy both parks! Whether you're chilling in the lazy rivers or braving the big slides, we've got you covered.Let's dive in! MEI-Travel – Expertise. Ease.

This unassuming Disney resort property located next door to Disney Springs has a surprising history you have to hear to believe. From its origins as an ambitious educational leisure concept to its transformation into an upscale vacation property, Saratoga Springs has a little-known history filled with fascinating twists and turns. Unique treehouse suites and modern remnants of the Disney Institute are just a few of the topics we delve into on this week's resort history deep dive. Listen along and join the Dis-cussion on social media @neverlandnavco

We're taking you along on a whirlwind couple of days at Walt Disney World—complete with friends, food, drinks, and a few unexpected twists (including a surprise snake sighting near the Skyliner… yep, that happened).We kicked things off with snacks and sips at Bar Riva to see some Cast Member friends alongside our good friends Lucie and Caleb, and the fun just kept rolling from there. We did a little shopping in Pandora (yes, we bought rings), used an Individual Lightning Lane for Cosmic Rewind, and bounced around resorts chasing dinner plans from California Grill to Steakhouse 71 to Three Bridges—where we finally found our perfect Plan C, great food, and some awesome cast member interactions.We also squeezed in some magic at Magic Kingdom to ride Haunted Mansion, placed a special hat embroidery order, and spent a rainy afternoon at Disney Springs catching up, indulging in Salt & Straw, and hiding out at Jock Lindsey's. The trip wrapped up with poolside snacks at Siestas, an evening at Dahlia Lounge, and a final stop at Jeff's Bagels on the way home—because you know we weren't leaving without breakfast handled.It was a trip full of laughs, detours, and Disney magic, and we can't wait to share it with you.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're stepping outside the Disney bubble and heading deep into the heart of Texas for an unforgettable trip to Austin. That's right—we swapped MagicBands for cowboy boots and spent the weekend soaking up everything Austin has to offer, from mouthwatering food to meaningful moments.We're talking Michelin-starred barbecue brisket that melts in your mouth, spicy chicken from a food truck named Spicy Boys, an incredible cowgirl hat experience at Kendra Scott's Yellow Rose boutique, and a dive bar that turned out to be surprisingly sober-friendly. Plus, opening up about a powerful personal milestone—reaching 475 days of sobriety—and how a three-hour Blue October concert helped finally deliver the clarity.Whether it's floating in freezing cold Barton Springs, indulging in gourmet ice cream, or spotting a puppy in an Uber, this was a weekend filled with unexpected joy, emotional growth, and plenty of laughter. So if you're looking for an inspiring, delicious, and downright weird adventure beyond the theme parks, grab your hat (and maybe a churro for comfort) and come along for the ride!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

Step into a California beach house in the heart of Disney Springs at Summer House on the Lake, where coastal ambiance meets exceptionally fresh cuisine. The moment you enter this stunning 12,000 square foot restaurant, you're transported from the bustling crowds to a serene retreat with soaring windows, wicker furniture, and a magnificent live tree reaching toward a central skylight.Our family discovered why this newcomer has quickly become one of Disney Springs' most talked-about dining destinations. The Prime Beef Meatballs appetizer had everyone—especially our youngest—scraping the plate for every last bit of the flavorful marinara sauce. Each of our main courses showcased Summer House's commitment to seasonal, fresh ingredients: the Silver Corvina (Florida's fish of the moment) delivered delicate flavor with perfect preparation, while the Wagyu Steak Frites impressed with its generous portion and perfect execution. Even the classic cheese pizza earned the coveted "best I've ever had" designation from our pizza-loving son and the Buena Vista Cobb salad with added salmon offers a fresh, filling option that rivals the Brown Derby's famous salad.What sets Summer House apart isn't just the exceptional food—it's the atmosphere that somehow manages to be simultaneously sophisticated and relaxed. Unlike other Disney restaurants that might leave you needing a nap afterward, we left feeling perfectly satisfied without being uncomfortably full. The restaurant works beautifully whether you're dining with family, enjoying a date night, or even grabbing a solo meal at the bar (where weekday happy hours feature $10 martinis between 3-6pm).Don't miss the cookie bar on your way out, where freshly baked treats await whether you dined in or are just passing by. After experiencing several Disney Springs restaurants, we confidently rank Summer House on the Lake as our second favorite, just behind The Boathouse. Next time you're seeking a peaceful respite from theme park energy with genuinely delicious food, make this coastal-inspired gem your destination.Please Check Out Our Links Below:  Our Sponsor:www.travelplannererica.com Email Us:circleofparks@gmail.com Our Website:www.circleofparks.com Facebook:www.facebook.com/circleofparks Instagram:www.instagram.com/circleofparks X:www.x.com/circleofparks Ad Music:Carefree Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Music promoted on https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Send us a textSupport the show

This time, it's not just Jeremy and Rhonda going head-to-head… Lucie and Caleb join in on the fun, making this a full four-person, NBA-style draft to build the ultimate Walt Disney World “team.”We're drafting across 11 unique categories that go far beyond just rides — from thrill rides and classic attractions to table service dining, snacks, live shows, character experiences, nighttime spectaculars, and more. Each pick is off the board once it's claimed, so strategy, timing, and maybe even a little sabotage come into play.With four Disney-loving voices and plenty of laughter, debates, and fun moments, this episode is full of surprises and theme park passion. Whether you're team nostalgia, team thrills, or just here for the snacks, there's something for every Disney fan.Tune in to hear who picked what, how each ultimate park lineup shaped up, and decide for yourself: who built the best Disney park?

In Episode 233 of the Vacationeers Theme Parks & More Podcast, Tom celebrates his birthday with a stay at Disney's Contemporary Resort and shares all the details. Also, Tom shares how he celebrated Father's Day at Disney Springs from City Works to Splitsville fun. Joined by Jon Self (@pastorJonSelf), we also cover big theme park news, including EPCOT's Test Track reopening date, Kings Dominion's water main break closure, and SeaWorld San Antonio's sad loss of killer whale Kamea. Plus, we dive into Halloween Horror Nights' two new original houses: El Artista – A Spanish Haunting and Hatchet and Chains: Demon Bounty Hunters. 

Disney shared new details around the Monsters Inc. Door Coaster coming to Hollywood Studio, and the size and scale is, well, monstrous! Also, we talk a bit about the 2025 Flavors of Florida event going on right now at Disney Springs. For our main topic, Holly and Rob give a walkthrough and trip review for their recent voyage on the Disney Dream. For our first-time cruisers, is a Disney Cruise as magical as we've all been told? I'll guess you'll just have to sea...   Take a seat at the bar and follow us on social media!

We're taking a delicious deep dive into the snack scene at Disney Springs to determine which treats are truly worth your time, money, and appetite. With so many tempting options, we're breaking them down by taste, value, portion size, and uniqueness to see which ones deserve a resounding “Eat it!” and which you may want to “Beat it!”We kick things off at Swirls on the Water with the DOLE Whip Flight—a $7.99 trio that serves up a sampler-sized portion of Disney's most iconic soft-serve in playful, unique swirls like banana and salted caramel or mint chocolate, all with fun toppings. Then we hit the heavyweight champion of cookies at Gideon's Bakehouse, where the limited-time White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookie clocks in at nearly half a pound and over 24 hours of prep time, offering rich flavor and chewy-crispy contrast.From there, it's on to Sprinkles for a fresh cupcake delivered from their famous ATM, and then we hop over to The Daily Poutine, where $10.49 gets you a hot, hearty portion of Canadian-style comfort food—fries, gravy, and cheddar curds that are perfect for sharing. Summer House offers up a gooey cookie bar that's just as pretty as it is tasty, while Chicken Guy delivers classic tenders with a sauce-sampling twist that brings the flavor (and a bit of Food Network flair).We wrap with Homecomin's beloved Momma's Mac and Cheese, Morimoto Asia's sticky-sweet spare ribs, Everglazed's pillowy doughnuts, and the wildly inventive small-batch ice creams from Salt & Straw—think strawberry balsamic or honey lavender atop a crisp waffle cone.Whether you're strolling the Springs for a quick bite or plotting a full-on snack crawl, this episode is your go-to guide for the tastiest (and most interesting) stops along the way.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

Episode #397 Is it possible to find anything free at Walt Disney World, or does the principle that nothing in life is free hold true? We investigate this topic together with some of our listeners to discover if Walt Disney World provides any genuinely complimentary experiences, either within the parks or at Disney Springs. www.thedisneycrush.com thedisneycrush@gmail.com www.patreon.com/thedisneycrush        

It's officially halfway to the holidays, and the summer season is heating up across the Walt Disney World Resort. From new characters and construction updates to seasonal food events and even some big infrastructure news, a lot is happening this week. Let's dig in. Create your own Christmas Tree Returns to Walt Disney World Coolest Summer Ever Brings New Surprises The Cool Kids Summer campaign is in full swing, and Frontierland is abuzz with activity. We spotted new characters joining the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade, including rare appearances that surprised even longtime parkgoers. Over in Toy Story Land, guests will be glad to see new shade structures finally added near Andy's Lunch Box — a much-needed relief in the Florida heat. Meanwhile, Magic Kingdom Updates Tomorrowland Astro Orbiter is nearing completion.   Flavors of Florida Kicks Off with a Culinary Preview Flavors of Florida is back at Disney Springs, and the 2025 edition kicked off with a flavorful media preview. We had a chance to check out offerings from The Edison, Terralina, and House of Blues — including new dishes and seasonal cocktails inspired by Florida's fresh ingredients. If you're planning to visit, keep an eye out for the new Shrimp & Grits, Pizza alla Vodka, and a colorful gator-themed beverage that's already creating buzz. Big Thunder Rumblings and D23 Archives Celebration Over at Magic Kingdom, train cars were spotted on the Big Thunder Mountain tracks, fueling speculation about ride testing or possibly preparation for refurbishment. While Disney hasn't confirmed anything officially, it's a sign that more activity is happening behind the scenes. At Disney Studios, we got a sneak peek into Disney's past as the Walt Disney Archives celebrated its 55th anniversary. The Archives team released a fantastical short film honoring the legacy of Walt's vision and the importance of preserving Disney history. We even spotted a familiar face — Gongos Mickey, from the Muppet*Vision 3D pre-show — as part of the anniversary display. Major Road Projects Could Shape Disney's Future Perhaps the biggest long-term news this week didn't come from inside the parks but just outside them. The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District has officially opened bidding for two major infrastructure projects: the Western Way road expansion and a full redesign of the Buena Vista Drive interchange. These fully funded initiatives are designed to ease traffic flow into the resort's western entrance — but they could also mean something much bigger. Could this signal a future park expansion or new resort area? Disney owns 160 acres nearby with improved access underway.  Speculation is growing about long-term plans, especially as road work begins. Sam analyzed access ramps and project maps, even comparing them to satellite images.  The results are intriguing and raise many questions. While Disney has made no announcements, these upgrades could open the door to major development. Video Episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m_wRuGK8g0

We're diving into an important and often overlooked topic—phobias and sensory sensitivities in the parks.With as many as 12.5% of adults and nearly 1 in 5 adolescents experiencing specific phobias in their lifetime, it's essential to help all guests feel confident and informed when planning their Disney experience. From fear of heights and darkness to anxiety in enclosed spaces or sensory-heavy environments, we're breaking down the rides and experiences that could be overwhelming—and what to do about it.We'll walk you through the attractions most likely to trigger phobias like claustrophobia, nyctophobia, and automatonophobia, and provide practical tools for navigating those challenges.We also include tips for using DAS (Disability Access Service), rider switch, and identifying quiet spaces throughout the parks when needed. Plus, we share a list of sensory-friendly alternatives so everyone in your party can find their magic, no matter their comfort level. Whether you're planning your first trip or helping someone else prepare, this episode is here to help you create a trip full of joy, confidence, and understanding.MEI-Travel – Expertise. Ease.

Ready to discover a hidden culinary gem at Disney Springs? We're fresh from our resort day adventure where we uncovered The Polite Pig - a quick-service barbecue spot that's earned a coveted Michelin plate recognition!This isn't your average theme park dining experience. Though categorized as quick-service, The Polite Pig delivers with table-service attentiveness. You order at the counter, but once seated, staff brings everything to your table - food, drinks, and an impressive array of barbecue sauces. Most surprising was the speed - our food arrived in under 10 minutes, practically unheard of for quality barbecue.As self-proclaimed barbecue connoisseurs, we approached the menu with high standards. The Low and Slow Brisket sandwich ($15) impressed with its pimento cheese spread, porter barbecue sauce, pickled jalapeños, and crispy onion straws. Our son's Cedar Plank Salmon ($26) with maple Dijon glaze earned his stamp of approval as "better than daddy's" - high praise indeed! For those wanting to sample everything, the Butcher Board for Two ($44) offers an impressive spread of pork shoulder, smoked chicken, brisket, and barbecue cheddar sausage alongside signature sides.While prices run higher than typical quick-service locations, the quality justifies every dollar. For Disney Dining Plan users, this represents exceptional value for your quick-service credits. Whether you're taking a break from the parks or specifically exploring Disney Springs' culinary scene, The Polite Pig deserves a spot on your must-try list.What's your favorite Disney Springs restaurant? Have you discovered any surprising Michelin-recognized spots in unexpected places?

We're opening up the mailbag once again to answer your questions, and this one is packed with variety! Whether you're planning an adults-only anniversary trip, trying to make your value resort feel a little more deluxe, or debating if a day at Epic Universe is worth it—this episode has something for everyone. We kick things off by chatting about romantic, adult-friendly experiences at Walt Disney World and whether it's worth adding Universal's Epic Universe to a Disney-centered trip. We also share our top recommendations for couples-only resorts and must-do activities beyond the Keys to the Kingdom tour. Then we dive into questions about a perfect Disney Day (no budget required!) and favorite park fun facts, a creative idea for giving each Disney park a brand-new icon, and answer which rides operate during extended evening hours for deluxe resort guests. We also talk about unexpectedly awesome moments at Universal, how to add luxury to a value resort stay, and whether it's better to go with a moderate resort—or just go all in on deluxe (or all out and save!). It's a wide-ranging episode full of fun, helpful tips, and a little bit of Disney daydreaming. MEI-Travel – Expertise.
