We are excited to head to upstate New York today to speak with Listener Brett about a very special trip! Brett is a huge Disney Parks fan who spent many days in his youth at Walt Disney World, but hasn't been to the parks in years. His wife (who grew up in Orlando) isn't a huge Disney Parks fan, so this trip was a long time coming for Brett. Brett's mom wanted to celebrate her 75th birthday with the family at Walt Disney World, so Brett put a great 3-day extravaganza together, staying at Disney's Coronado Springs, using Lightning Lanes at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Disney's Hollywood Studios, having meals at Crystal Palace, Maya Grill, and more! There were ups and downs, but it was a trip for the ages! I think you will really enjoy the show! It has a lot of heart!

We take you behind the scenes of one of the most unique — and heartwarming — challenges we've ever taken on: riding “it's a small world” at Magic Kingdom for 10 straight hours to raise money for the Dream Team Project, which supports Make-A-Wish. That's right — boat after boat, loop after loop, song after song — all for a cause that's close to our hearts.We share what inspired us to take on this seemingly never-ending voyage, how the idea came to life, and why giving back through the Main Street 16 Challenge Weekend has become such an important part of what we do. You'll hear the highs, the unexpected moments of hilarity, the not-so-magical parts, and the emotional impact of seeing our community come together to support something bigger than all of us.Throughout the day, we were joined by incredible friends, fellow Disney fans, and Main Street Magic listeners who hopped into boats with us — whether for one loop or several — and helped turn this challenge into a celebration of connection, kindness, and of course… a little bit of madness. We also cover how this event ties into the larger Main Street 16 Challenge Weekend, including race day fun, the scavenger hunt through Disney Springs, and our continued mission to support the Dream Team Project.Whether you love the ride or dread the tune, this episode is packed with magic, meaning, and memories. Tune in for the full recap and find out just how many loops we survived (spoiler: a lot).Main Street 16 Challenge Weekend is coming! May 15th – May 18th, 2025 in Walt Disney WorldThis event is a way to bring our community together and rally to raise money for a great cause. Part social gathering, part scavenger hunt, part ride challenge, Main Street 16 is a combination of all the things we love about the Disney Parks—The rides, the details, and most importantly, the people. And this event is about giving back to extraordinary people.BENEFITING THE DREAM TEAM PROJECTThe funds raised during the Main Street 16 Challenge Weekend benefit the Dream Team Project, an initiative founded by Lou Mongello of WDW Radio. This project collaborates with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to grant Disney-related wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions, providing them and their families with memorable experiences at Walt Disney World.

Originally recorded in 2016 (how was that 9 years ago?!), this episode is a nostalgic journey through one of EPCOT's most beloved pavilions. From the serene gardens to Mitsukoshi's Pokémon overload, it's a celebration of all things Japan... but in the Walt Disney World park.

Send us a textWhat happens when Disney Imagineers lose their minds completely? We explore this hilarious premise while enjoying a dangerously delicious Jungle Bird cocktail from Skipper Canteen. This rum and pineapple concoction ($15.50) proves to be the perfect companion as we dive into creating the most absurd, impractical, and downright terrible Disney park additions imaginable.Our comedic journey takes us through attractions like Hannah Montana's Wrecking Ball ride, where guests swing on actual wrecking balls to the infamous song, and a Walk-Through Flea Farm at Animal Kingdom with real fleas and the potential for itchy souvenirs. We design the ultimate anti-attraction with our Waiting in Line Adventure – a three-hour queue that ultimately leads to a closed ride, perfectly capturing every Disney fan's worst nightmare.From the boring political debates of our Jedi Council Ride to Goofy's How-To Do Laundry experience (where guests actually wash cast member uniforms), our terrible ideas span every Disney park. We imagine the perfect waste of time with Test Track Traffic Stop, where the ride moves just ten feet before stopping in traffic for ten minutes, and a Parent Trap Mega Ferris Wheel featuring arguing parents who reconcile as "Let's Get Together" blares at painful volumes.The absurdity continues with unconventional shopping experiences like Duke Wessleton's Toupee and Uniform Ye Olde Shoppe and a Lost and Found Emporium selling items abandoned by previous guests. We even propose a Yemen Pavilion at EPCOT and a Therapy Carousel of Progress showcasing dysfunctional family therapy throughout the decades.Whether you're a Disney fan looking for a good laugh or someone who enjoys creative satire of theme park experiences, this episode offers a thoroughly entertaining journey through attractions that would make even the most desperate parent flee the parks. Which of our terrible ideas would you avoid at all costs?Here's who we are and what is in store for you

It was inevitable. We can't stay within the confines of Disneyland Resort forever. Come on. Walt Disney World has a safari hotel. Anywho, in this episode the Supreme Jerks review the history of teppanyaki dining. EPCOT has Teppan Edo, so there's out connection. Benihana popularized the whole thing and there's one in Anaheim and we went there too. It's a whole thing. Which will win: Disney Japan or Fake Japan? I mean Fake(er) Japan.

We're trading coasts and heading west for our very first trip to Disneyland! That's right—after years of covering Walt Disney World, we're finally getting the chance to experience the park that started it all. So today, we're counting down the eight things we're most excited to see, do, eat, and feel when we set foot in the Happiest Place on Earth.We kick things off with what might be one of the biggest draws for Walt Disney World veterans—simpler planning. From more day-of dining options to Lightning Lane flexibility and shorter trips that still feel full of magic, Disneyland encourages a spontaneous, go-with-the-flow style that takes the stress out of scheduling. That leads us into the vibe of the parks themselves—Disney California Adventure's uniquely themed lands, like Radiator Springs and Avengers Campus, offer a laid-back SoCal energy that's perfect for park hopping in under a minute.We'll also chat about seasonal events and entertainment we're catching during our trip, like DCA's Food & Wine Festival and Season of the Force. Add in Fantasmic! and fireworks over Sleeping Beauty Castle, and we've got a lot of nighttime magic to look forward to.Of course, Disneyland's culture and character interactions are a big part of the appeal. The more relaxed pace, roaming characters, and local passholder vibe all offer a very different feel from the Florida parks. And when it comes to food, we're more than ready to dig into some legendary Disneyland snacks—from corn dogs and churros to beignets and high-quality quick service.We'll wrap things up with a look at classic and unique attractions, the charming scale and layout, and finally, the emotional pull of walking in Walt's footsteps at his original park.Join us as we count down the top reasons we're absolutely thrilled to head to Disneyland for the very first time!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We dive into Disney's Memory Maker, the ultimate way to capture and relive every magical moment of your Walt Disney World vacation. We'll break down what Memory Maker is, how much it costs, and what's included—from attraction photos and Magic Shots to character meet-and-greets and dining experiences. Whether you're striking a pose, caught in a scream, or making a silly face with your travel crew, ride photos are a snapshot in time that bring the magic home with you. But not all ride photos are created equal so we're talking about them all.We'll explore what makes a great PhotoPass experience, from the timing and placement of the camera to the quality of the image and how well it captures the spirit of the attraction. Some offer the perfect moment to show off your themed shirts or matching ears, while others might catch you totally off guard. A few might leave you wondering where the camera even was, while others deliver the kind of image you'll want to frame the moment you get home.As Walt Disney World regulars, we've had our fair share of ride photos—some amazing, some hilarious, and a few we'd rather forget. In this episode, we'll reflect on the overall experience of these in-ride captures, how they add to the magic, and which ones really stand out. These images are part of the joy and surprise that comes with every Disney visit.It's time to say “cheese,” hold on tight, and find out which Walt Disney World attraction PhotoPass comes out on top!MEI-Travel – Expertise.
