Hello and welcome or welcome back to the MsDisneygrams podcast! Find me on Instagram @MsDisneygrams In episode 8, I discuss the strategy of pairing a pre-park opening breakfast reservation at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Epcot's Norway pavilion with riding Frozen Ever After without a wait. I was curious if this strategy would work during my last trip and it did! However, I think there are a few important things to keep in mind to make it an enjoyable breakfast and successful strategy for riding FEA without a wait or FastPass+. I also give an overview of the princess dining experience, discuss other ways to ride Frozen Ever After and what my preferences are.

Inside The Mouse Castle: Disney News, Information and Commentary
Inside Out had its Hollywood premiere last week, gearing up for its U.S. wide release this Friday. On this week's episode of Inside The Mouse Castle, we hear from the film's director, Pete Docter, and the some of the voice cast including Amy Poehler, Bill Hader and Lewis Black. Tim expects Pixar's journey into the mind of an 11-year old girl to be a sure-fire hit while Anthony thinks the film, as good as the early reviews are, is going to under-perform at the box office. It won't do as bad as Tomorrowland, though, not by a long shot. The Brad Bird film starring George Clooney is having a dismal run in theaters and could put Disney in the red $140 million or more. And, Disney or not, no movie conversation this week is complete with mentioning Jurassic World, so we'll touch on that too, plus these other mind-bending topics: In the story that won't die, is Asa Butterfield really out of the running to be the next Spider-Man? Are Tom Holland, Charlie Plummer and Matthew Lintz the new favorites? Who knows? Because apparently Marvel and Sony can't agree on anything concerning the franchise. We now know the voice cast for Pixar's The Good Dinosaur. After a series of production delays, including a director change and a reworking of the story, the film will open in the U.S. on November 25th. Have you seen the new teaser trailer for Zootopia yet? Tim thinks it looks cute. Anthony, not so much. Frozen Ever After is coming to Epcot's Norway pavilion next year, taking over the space once occupied by Maelstrom. Guests will be able to experience a "Winter in Summer Celebration" courtesy of Queen Elsa in the kingdom of Arendelle. That includes a trip to Elsa's ice palace. Two new restaurants are coming to the Disney Springs (aka the revamped Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World): The Edison and STK Orlando. They're the latest in a long list of new shopping and dining establishments being added to the area. Is it starting to be too much of a good thing? Disney Springs is a far cry from the quaint Lake Buena Vista Shopping Village us old-timers remember from the 1970s and 80s. Star Wars will be in Hall H of this year's San Diego Comic-Con. Marvel will not. Next. Goodbye, Phineas and Ferb. We'll miss you. Well, we'll be missing new episodes. We're sure you'll be rerunning on Disney Channel and Disney XD for a long time to come. J.K. Simmon is joining the voice cast of Gravity Falls. We hope he doesn't throw a chair at Grunkle Stan. Enjoy! www.TheMouseCastle.com
As it says on the tin, it's time for a little Bitesize Mike! Sorry for the delay...in fact, this episode is so late, it's almost time to record the next one! But we hope you'll enjoy this one, for now - Mike dives into the discussion over changes at Epcot, and an even newer, perhaps more surprising shift at Hollywood Studios. After saying some goodbyes and imagining what we might soon say hello to, Mike picks up on a sentiment that surely everyone agrees on - "The history of Walt Disney World belongs to EVERYONE." - pontificates, expands, and takes it to its natural conclusion, as it pertains to what we try to do as an intersectional, critical Disney fan podcast. If Mike inspired you, or if he drilled a rhetorical hole in your head, let us know! You can (of course) Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, subscribe to us and review on iTunes, and email us at disnerds@gmail.com - and, as always, enjoy! Links 'n' Stuff: Martin Smith's excellent (and very relevant!) videos, covering Epcot's Norway, and the early genesis of Disney-MGM/Hollywood Studios.
In this episode we visit Epcot's Norway and celbrate Norwegian Constitution Day by taking in the sounds of Spelmann's Gledge. This audio was recorded on September 30th and Oct 1 2007 when I visited Epcot on the occasion of its 25thh anniversary. Since this was "the trip without a camera" finding an appropriate photo was a bit tougher than usual but thanks to the gereosity of a flickr user by the name of Gator-Chris http://www.flickr.com/photos/gator-chris/ I have this photo taken BY HIM on Sept. 30, just a few sets before the set I recorded.
