We're taking you on a wild and wonderful ride through Fort Wilderness and beyond! First, we share a quick overview of our car camping experience at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort—from setup tips to what makes this rustic getaway such a unique way to stay on Disney property.Then, it's all about the food and drinks! We review dinner at Crockett's Tavern, including hearty bites and laid-back lodge vibes, then head to the brand-new GEO-82 lounge at EPCOT for some creative mocktails and modern appetizers with a retro-futuristic twist. We also return to one of our all-time favorites, Geyser Point at Wilderness Lodge, to see if it still holds up for great food and atmosphere. Finally, we wrap things up in style with a rooftop breakfast at Topolino's Terrace—because nothing says “Disney magic” like fresh pastries, character charm, and a sunrise over the Riviera.So whether you're roughing it in a car or dining in elegance 10 stories up, we've got all the flavors, fun, and Fort Wilderness flair covered.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

In chapter 47, we #StarWarsified the new Villains Unfairly Ever After stage show at Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World! Derek gave us a recap of his recent trip to Disney World and his new lightsaber build. We learned how there's never been a Hook face character in the parks and the new Starfighter show might be the first rated R Star Wars project. Piston Springs breaks ground soon at Magic Kingdom and we speculate how it might fit. All this, some surprises, and a lot more! Thank you for listening!

This round of Warner Bros. 1931 brings us two gems by a couple of Pre-Code masters, Roy Del Ruth's Blonde Crazy and William A. Wellman's Night Nurse, showing off the early star charisma of Jimmy Cagney (oozing vulnerability) and Barbara Stanwyck (spitting fire), ably supported by Joan Blondell in both cases. Bonus: Young Clark Gable shows up for another, even nastier 1931 turn. Dave makes the case for Blonde Crazy as a proto-screwball comedy (Warner Bros. does Trouble in Paradise?). And in another Fear and Moviegoing discussion of Now, Voyager, we discuss the Bette Davis melodrama's authentic ties to Transcendentalism and what it means to not have sex for the right reasons.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:    NIGHT NURSE [dir.

We're going completely off script—no notes, no prep, just pure pizza passion! Join us as we improv our way through our top five places to grab a slice (or a whole pie) at Walt Disney World, based on a mix of taste, value, portion size, and accessibility. We're not talking about a fancy food review with technical terms or culinary critiques—we're talking about where we actually want to eat pizza while roaming the parks and resorts.We also break down why the best pizza doesn't always come from the best pizza place, and how certain locations may surprise you with better value or more convenience than you'd expect. Whether it's a quick slice in the middle of a busy day, or a sit-down experience that satisfies every craving, we'll debate what makes each spot worth visiting—and where you might want to pass.So if you're craving that cheesy, saucy goodness on your next Disney trip, this episode serves up our hot takes in real time, crust and all. Grab a napkin, loosen that waistband, and get ready for a flavorful, freewheeling conversation about Disney pizza.MEI-Travel – Expertise. Ease.

Have you wondered if the food in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge lives up to the incredible theming? Journey with us as we discover Docking Bay 7, the somewhat hidden quick-service restaurant tucked beside the Millennium Falcon in Hollywood Studios.Our family's dining adventure reveals why this location offers exceptional value, especially for those on Disney's Dining Plan. The Andorian Fried Chicken Tip-yip steals the show with perfectly seasoned chicken thighs, while its spicier Persianak counterpart brings just enough heat without overwhelming. Even the roasted vegetable medley earns praise – a rare feat for theme park sides! We sample exclusive beverages like the Gold Squadron Lager, brewed specially for Galaxy's Edge, adding another layer of authenticity to the Star Wars experience.What makes Docking Bay 7 truly special is its immersive atmosphere. Cargo delivery sound effects, themed food names, and detailed decor transport you straight into the Star Wars universe. While the adults appreciate the higher quality cuisine compared to typical quick service options, even our picky preteens give solid approval to the "legit" mac and cheese sides. At $16+ per entrée, plus the option to add exclusive alcoholic beverages, you'll maximize your dining plan credits here.Whether you're a devoted Star Wars fan or simply looking for quality food amid your Hollywood Studios adventures, Docking Bay 7 delivers a dining experience worth seeking out.

In the 253rd episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are ready for the summer season with all the fun stuff coming up!  First, Jenn just finished her birthday trip, while Dave is getting ready for his summer trip in July.  A bevy of news stories include the upcoming premiere of Disney Starlight Parade... Lilo & Stitch movies opens like gangbusters... a store reopens in Hollywood Studios.... Disneyland's 70th approaches... and Epic Universe's grand opening. Plus, Jenn reviews the new Little Mermaid-A Musical Adventure and Villains Unfairly Ever After, both new at Hollywood Studios, and an overview of her recent dinner at the fancy schmancy swanky panky Victoria & Alberts in Disney's Grand Floridian. Finally, Dave gives a quick review of Marvel's new flick, "Thunderbolts*" to round out this discussion of all sorts of topics. 

This summer has not only brought a completely new theme park to the Orlando tourist scape, but within it, two impressive theatrical shows within its park's gates. At the same time, Disney's Hollywood Studios has opened two theatrical shows within its studio gates. In a showdown, we'll look at Le Cirque Arcanus in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter--Ministry of Magic as well as The Untrainable Dragon from the Isle of Berk--both premiering at Epic Universe. We'll also take a look at two new shows that just premiered at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After and The Little Mermaid Musical Adventure. From queue to finale, from performers to technical staging, we'll look at which of these fare best and are worth your time. The competition is tough, so join us as we look at these four new theatrical shows in two very unique Florida theme parks. ____________________________________________________________________ More Disney Insights can be found below!

The countdown is on—just four days until our family's epic Walt Disney World adventure begins! After months of anticipation, we're pulling back the curtain on our meticulously crafted vacation strategy that balances maximum fun with minimal stress.Our journey starts with a strategic overnight in Atlanta before heading to Blizzard Beach on arrival day. We're excited to experience both Disney water parks across different trips, having conquered Typhoon Lagoon last year. This time, we're staying at Coronado Springs' Grand Destino Tower, where we'll celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary at Three Bridges Bar & Grill overlooking the resort's beautiful lake.One major change this trip? We're abandoning our traditional rope-drop routine! After years of early morning park rushes, we're embracing a more relaxed approach with Disney's new multi-pass system. At over $700 for our family, it's a significant investment we'll be evaluating throughout our stay. Is the convenience worth the premium price? We'll be reporting back!Each park day has been thoughtfully planned: Epcot with extended World Showcase exploration (where our boys have finally developed an appreciation for international experiences), Hollywood Studios with substantial time in Galaxy's Edge and catching the new Little Mermaid show, Animal Kingdom's safari adventures, and a perfectly-paced Magic Kingdom finale. We've incorporated strategic rest days, including pool time and a split day where half of us will venture to Universal while the others enjoy a character breakfast and resort exploration.The Disney Dining Plan adds another dimension to our experience. Is it truly the value proposition Disney promises? We'll be conducting live dining reviews throughout our trip at spots like Connections Eatery, La Cantina de San Angel, and Flame Tree Barbecue to find out! After our park adventures, we're capping the vacation with four blissful days at Disney's Vero Beach Resort—the perfect blend of Disney magic and coastal relaxation.Whether you're planning your own Disney getaway or simply enjoy vicarious vacation thrills, join us as we navigate the parks with insider knowledge gained from multiple trips.

Send us a textTwo 19-year-old college students bring fresh perspectives to Walt Disney World as they detail their adventures visiting all four Disney parks during their academic year in Florida. Eli and Addi, longtime Disneyland visitors, offer candid comparisons between the California and Florida parks that both seasoned Disney veterans and newcomers will find enlightening.Animal Kingdom emerges as their surprise favorite, with both guests marveling at how completely transported they felt among its immersive landscapes. "I'll never forget seeing the floating mountains of Pandora for the first time," Addi shares, while Eli declares the Kilimanjaro Safari something he "could ride five times in a day." Their Thanksgiving day visit to Magic Kingdom serves as a cautionary tale of holiday crowds so intense that portions of the park were temporarily closed to additional guests.The episode delivers practical insights for Disney World planning – from which parks might disappoint (Epcot ranked lowest despite housing their favorite ride, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind) to why the Skyliner is the superior transportation option. They don't hold back on critiques, noting Hollywood Studios' inconsistent theming and Epcot's untapped potential, while offering thoughtful suggestions like adding a single attraction to each World Showcase country.Whether you're debating which Disney coast offers the better experience or planning your first Walt Disney World vacation, this conversation provides the authentic perspective of young adults experiencing the parks with both fresh eyes and deep Disney knowledge. Their enthusiasm for the Disney Parks experience proves that magic transcends age – even when navigating the challenges of being broke college students at the most magical (and expensive) place on earth.Here's who we are and what is in store for you
