We head to Magic Kingdom for a night of spooky fun at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2025! This is one of our favorite events of the year, and this season felt bigger, brighter, and somehow even more magical than before. From the moment we stepped through the fog and heard that “Boo to You” parade music drifting down Main Street, we knew we were in for a night packed with tricks, treats, and a whole lot of fun.But first, we tried the return of Salt & Straw's Tacolate (yes, a chocolate taco filled with cinnamon-ancho ice cream!) and every spooky limited time treat from Everglazed, including the Nutella Boston Scream, Haunted Hour, and Spooky Tombstone, and we even grabbed the limited-edition Chai Sugar Showgirl Cupcake from Sprinkles — a Taylor-inspired treat that might just steal the show.Then on to MNSSHP, where we break down everything you need to know before heading to the party yourself — from ticket details and arrival times to the best tips to help you make the most of your evening. We share when to grab your wristbands, how to beat the candy lines, and which characters you'll want to prioritize early before their queues fill up. And of course, we talk all about the incredible entertainment lineup — from the Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks hosted by Jack Skellington, to the Boo-To-You Parade (complete with the Headless Horseman), and the always entertaining Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular with the Sanderson Sisters.We also talk costume comfort tips (Florida heat, anyone?), and give our best advice for making the most of those precious five hours of Halloween magic. Grab your candy bag and your Mickey ears — it's time to Boo-to-You right along with us!

We're heading down the bayou for a sibling showdown as Port Orleans Riverside takes on Port Orleans French Quarter in the latest round of Resort Wars. These two charming Moderates may share a name and a boat to Disney Springs, but when it comes to theming, food, amenities, and overall vibe—they couldn't be more different. We walk through seven battle rounds, comparing everything from room layouts and transportation to pool fun, recreation options, and value for your hard-earned vacation dollar. French Quarter brings that cozy, jazz-filled energy with colorful buildings, cobblestone streets, and of course—those famous Mickey-shaped beignets. Riverside answers back with lush walking paths, Royal Guest Rooms, and the fan-favorite Yeeha Bob at River Roost Lounge. Along the way, we'll share our own experiences at both resorts, a few personal preferences, and what we think makes each one special. We also reveal the results from your votes in our Facebook poll—because this battle isn't just about us…it's about the whole Main Street Magic community. So grab your floatworks beignet or your fishing rod from Ol' Man Island, and let's settle this once and for all.

Jen and Frank chat about the oft-mentioned year of 1992 and their two nostalgic trips to Walt Disney World. On this episode…

In the 266th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are prepping for a weekend trip with the Upon a Star Team to Cancun... but before that, there is magic to be discussed. First, Jenn is getting ready for a day in Epcot with #KylaKylaKyla, Quasi Producer Heather (aka The Moana Mom) and several other Upon a STARS, while Dave is proud to announce the totals from the recent WDW Park Run Challenge The Candlelight Processional line up has been announced, and they run through that... the Halloween Party is completely sold out... and the incredible Disney Cruise Line promotion that ends on Sept 25th (today, as we publish and release!) Finally, the go along with our ideas for Epcot - when we were Epcot CEOs (episode 262) - we now tackle Animal Kingdom... if we were in charge of the park, knowing we cannot go crazy with new lands or big new rides, what would we do? Our ideas include what to do with Rafiki's Planet Watch... looking at Finding Nemo: the Musical... updating Pandora... fixing Kali River Rapids... more characters... and of course, addressing the issue with The Yeti.  And... hippos. We need more hippos.  And then we do dream a little bigger - what if we could do one big project?
