Bobby shares his dilemma if he should go to the Arkansas game by himself in Knoxville, TN. He shares that all his Tier 1 friends are out of town or busy so would it be weird or sad to go by himself? Bobby accidentally fell asleep yesterday and how it ruined his day. We talked about a Disneyland guest who suffered a possible heart attack while riding the famed Haunted Mansion and was later pronounced dead. Bobby helps a listener who wants to know if they should tell their boss that they are looking for a new job. Bobby relates it to a similar situation he had with Scuba Steve.

Adventureland started this Halloween season with Tarzan, but has been swapped to Jose from Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. This change makes sense since Tarzan's Treehouse has been replaced with the Adventureland Treehouse. It is interesting that they swapped this out mid-season. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-adventureland-pumpkin-update/ We have a couple of construction updates to tell you about around the resort. First, the Disneyland Hotel security gates near the old ESPN Zone building are still closed, but the new gates are installed and should be open soon. Over in Disney California Adventure, the TWO new Avengers Campus attractions are coming along quickly. The main framing of the building – or buildings, depending on how you look at it is complete. The walls should start to enclose the structure soon. The scale of this structure is massive! – https://www.micechat.com/424727-disneyland-news-ticket-increase-aerial-construction-photos/ SnackChat: Naples Ristorante e Bar – https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/downtown-disney-district/naples-ristorante-e-bar/menus/ Discussion Topic: Creative Director of Spirit Jerseys Brandon Ptasznik https://www.spiritjersey.com – Use code dlweekly10 to get 10% off brandon@spiritjersey.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode we talk about our experience visiting Kevin McCurdy's Haunted Mansion for their 49th year! After years of our nephews begging us to take them to their first ever haunt, we figured what better way to start their haunted house obsession than with a visit to Kevin McCurdy's! From how immersive it is, making you feel like you're a part of the story, to all of the amazing actors and props. This is one haunt that never disappoints. 

The Mousedebaters talk Surviving the Night at the Haunted Mansion Welcome to Spooky Thunderdome, Mousedebaters' ultimate Halloween showdown!

We're so back. Thanks for listening to our first episode back with a new name, Parkside Breaks. For our first episode we introduce our guest, Emily Dostie from Glass Slipper Concierge. We follow along with her as she reviews her trip to Disneyland. We break down why the West Coast parks feel calmer, kinder, and more walkable—and how that shift turns a packed itinerary into a truly luxurious experience. Think: direct hotel-to-park access at the Grand Californian, characters actually roaming, lighter Lightning Lane pressure, and mornings that don't start in a sprint.We compare the energy of Disney California Adventure to Hollywood Studios, gush over the length and thrill of the Incredicoaster, and get honest about Guardians of the Galaxy vs Tower of Terror. Cars Land glows like a memory you get to step into, and seasonal overlays—like Haunted Mansion's Nightmare Before Christmas—show how Disneyland layers charm without adding chaos. Oogie Boogie Bash wins points for balance: sold-out party, but breezy lines, organic character moments, and candy trails that keep things moving.Pulling back, we map smarter ways to travel across the Disney universe. VIP Tours that prioritize presence, Disney Cruise Line's expanding ports for easier access beyond Florida, and curated Adventures by Disney that erase planning friction across Europe, Africa, and the American West. For the explorers at heart, National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions offer small-ship journeys to the Galápagos, Antarctica, and Iceland, guided by conservation and storytelling. Our takeaway is simple: luxury at Disney isn't just a price point—it's less stress and more time together.If you loved this, tap follow, share it with a Disney friend, and leave a quick review. Tell us: what's your one guaranteed ride and one guaranteed treat on your perfect Disney day?

Haunted houses usually have a story that’s been embellished over the years or even just made up. But a mansion in New Orleans’ French Quarter, once owned by Nicholas Cage, has a documented history that’s absolutely horrifying. And even he was terrified of the place!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scott and Candice kick off the After Dark two-parter with the “land” half of their trip: decompressing at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, an “epic (™)” Magic Kingdom day without rope drop, and a relaxed Epcot morning that turns into a revelation at GEO-82—the retro-futurist, 21+ lounge tucked behind Spaceship Earth.Highlights & takeaways:Poly perks: unbeatable location, laid-back vibe, and why celebration buttons quietly pay dividends.Day 1 bites & sips: Waialua Grill apps, Trader Sam's patio, Homecomin' (moonshine surprise), and why the Stack Burger at Steakhouse 71 still reigns.MK without the grind: Pirates, Country Bears (revamped & genuinely funny), double-loop on PeopleMover, Carousel of Progress comfort, Haunted Mansion nightcap, and why umbrellas > ponchos.Snacks with opinions: Cheeseburger spring rolls = must; crème brûlée croissant redeems Gaston's Tavern.Epcot flow: Ale & Compass breakfast strategy, Living with the Land, Journey of Water's improved audio, a quick hello to Walt, and the star of the show—GEO-82 (elevated cocktails, thoughtful tasting experiences, and a charcuterie board that lives rent-free in our heads).Service stories: a shipping fiasco that turned into a master-class in recovery at Creations Shop, plus a quick PSA on lost-child protocol (find a Cast Member—fast).Pro tips: pace your day, rotate transportation (resort launch can beat the monorail crush), wear your buttons, bring reusable straws, and don't be afraid to leave and come back.

Walt loved New Orleans and from day one he sought to incorporate the essence of the French Quarter into Disneyland Park. While New Orleans Square wasn't opened until 1966, there has always been since day one a New Orleans Street. It stretched from the Golden Horseshoe down along the Rivers of America. It was a contrast to the Nature's Wonderland with its mine train, pack mules and stage coaches. It was one of the key dining points in the park, and Walt loved this stretch, where he often enjoyed a weekend morning breakfast watching the ships along the Rivers of America prep and ready for the day's activities. But he wanted more and in time he built New Orleans Square, and with it came two of perhaps Disney's greatest attractions, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion, benchmarking each end of the square. They sandwiched an unusual twist of streets with shops and restaurants, with his beloved train passing through. And all of it was tied together by the legendary Mark Twain Steamboat. It is quintessentially one of the most unique spaces in any Disney park. And with it come some wonderful inspirational lessons in business and life. So in celebration of Disneyland's 70th anniversary, we explore all of this and more in today's podcast which celebrates the charm of both New Orleans Street and Square. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.
