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. We're excited to share what works, what doesn't, and how our Disney strategy continues to evolve!Please Check Out Our Links Below:  Our Sponsor:www.travelplannererica.com Email Us:circleofparks@gmail.com Our Website:www.circleofparks.com Facebook:www.facebook.com/circleofparks Instagram:www.instagram.com/circleofparks X:www.x.com/circleofparks Ad Music:Carefree Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Music promoted on https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Send us a textSupport the show

The landscape of Walt Disney World is shifting dramatically, with major transformations coming to every park. From Dinoland USA becoming a vibrant Central Americas-themed land featuring Encanto and Indiana Jones, to Tom Sawyer Island making way for a Cars attraction, these changes represent Disney's evolving approach to park experiences.We dive deep into what these transformations mean for the Disney experience, exploring the tension between nostalgic attractions and Disney's push toward more recognizable intellectual properties. The upcoming Villains Land behind Big Thunder Mountain promises thrilling new experiences without replacing existing attractions, while Hollywood Studios will soon feature a Monsters Inc land with an innovative suspended coaster based on the door conveyor system from the beloved film.These changes raise important questions: Is Disney losing some of its original magic by replacing unique Imagineering creations with movie tie-ins? Or is this evolution necessary to compete with Universal's Epic Universe and appeal to younger generations? We consider whether the Disney experience has improved or declined since 2019, discussing the loss of beloved perks like Magical Express and free FastPass while acknowledging the exciting new attractions on the horizon.We also share our upcoming plans to test the new Multi-Pass system during our next trip, estimating we'll spend around $500 extra for our family of four to access all premium ride options. Will the convenience justify the cost? Is the Free Dining package actually saving money when factoring in required add-ons like Park Hopper tickets? These practical considerations reflect the changing economics of a Disney vacation in today's landscape.Whether you're a Disney purist concerned about these changes or excited to experience the new attractions, this episode provides thoughtful perspective on what Walt Disney World's transformation means for different types of visitors.

So, you're going on a Disney vacation and you want to plan the perfect family look without looking like you're all heading to the office team-building retreat. Coordinated Disney Family Outfits That Don't Scream "Tacky Tourist"Matching outfits can be Disney adorable, but let's be honest: there's a fine line between coordinated and cringe. So how do you keep the magic alive and look like you belong on a curated Instagram feed? Fortunately, there are a few ways that you can nail the “together but tasteful” Disney matching outfits look.The Problem with the Common Matching Disney T-ShirtsYou've probably seen them. The bright-colored shirts with giant Mickey heads or hands and bold “SMITH FAMILY VACATION 2025” in faux Disney font splashed across the chest. Functional? Sure. Fashionable? Not exactly.Here's the thing:Yes, they stand out—but not in a chic way.Everyone's wearing them, so they're not as “special” as you thought or hoped.They can be a little... much… in photos you'll keep forever.For those memories that will last a lifetime, you deserve something more – something that feels magical and modern, not mass-produced.Swap the Matchy-Matchy Disney Look for a More Cohesive Color StoryInstead of going full-matching or obvious Disney twinsies, try thinking like a stylist: pull together a coordinated color palette. Choose a few shades that vibe well together—say, dusty blues, natural, warm tones and similar—and mix and match across the family.What it looks like:Mom in a light-toned 1923 Main Street hoodie and cropped jeansDad in a slate-colored subtle Disney graphic tee and canvas shortsKids in muted Mickey-inspired graphics and solid-colored shorts or joggersNow everyone looks like they belong together, without looking like they had to dress like staff in a fast-food restaurant.Grown-Up Disney: Subtle Nods for Stylish AdultsDisney adults can take comfort in the fact that you can rep your love for Disney without going full Goofy. The key? Subtle touches that nod to the magic.This is where 1923 Main Street subtle Disney inspired travel-themed unique t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies really shine. Think tasteful typography, vintage aesthetics and clever nods to your favorite Disney themes—without screaming Disney (meaning you can wear these anywhere and not look like you're screaming Disney all the time).Ideas for low-key Disney Parks style:Graphic tees with subtle inspirations from Disney-related themesHoodies featuring retro-style travel graphics that only true Disney fans will recognizeNeutral tones with classic silhouettes and hidden Disney hints or Easter EggsIt's Disney inspired, but decidedly not Disney, all at the same time. This is fashionable subtle and elegant Disney style and it's one of our specialties at 1923 Main Street. In fact, it's why 1923 Main Street is known as the creator of original elegant subtle Disney style.Disney Travel Outfit Chemistry 101: Mixing 1923 Main Street for the Whole FamilyThe 1923 Main Street subtle Disney apparel is pure magic for family styling. Our Disney inspired graphic t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies feature the legacy, the minimalism and the travel-lovers' charm that works for almost every age. While we don't have specific kid-size outfits, we do offer most apparel in small and often extra small sizes, which will fit many younger ones nicely. As a bonus, purchasing these sizes instead of kids' sizes means their clothes will be able to grow with them for at least a little while, giving you more value for your purchase. Sizing Tip: Be sure to pay close attention to our lay-flat size guides to get the perfect fit for everyone in your group, including your younger ones with small and extra small sizes.Try these Disney travel style combos:Adults:Option 1: Olive green 1923 Main Street hoodie or sweatshirt + denim + white sneakersOption 2: Black “Resort Collection” hoodie + shorts + comfy walking shoesKids:Option 1: Heather gray 1923 Main Street subtle Disney tee + joggers + Mickey bucket hatOption 2: Soft lilac Castle Crew shirt + biker shorts + character sneakersEveryone looks like they belong in the same group—but in a laid-back, effortlessly cool way.Picture-Perfect Disney Vacation Outfit IdeasLet's not forget the real MVP here: your camera roll. Your subtle Disney travel outfits should shine in your Disney photos. Here are some pro-worthy photo-friendly outfit themes to get you started:Pastel ParadeEach family member wears a different pastel tone. It's soft, dreamy and works so well in front of any princess castle.Monochrome and MickeyThink all-black ensembles with a tiny pop of Disney. It's an elevated looks that's not only trendy and timeless, but also amazingly photogenic.Earthy AdventureCombine taupe, moss, dark chocolate and natural/beige with natural fabrics and comfy sneakers. The perfect style for Animal Kingdom Park vibes or any wilderness adventure.Retro RewindThrow on 1923 Main Street vintage tees with vintage denim, bandanas and a touch of sepia-toned attitude and you're ready to go in any park on any day (But our fave for this one is definitely Hollywood Studios).Wrap-Up: You Can Match Outfits on a Disney Vacation Without Losing the MagicMatching shirts and outfits at Walt Disney World, Disneyland or any Disney destination doesn't have to mean blending in with every other family in the park. With a few smart choices—coordinated colors, subtle Disney nods and stylish pieces from 1923 Main Street, of course—you can look cool, feel comfy and still show off your awesome Disney spirit.Because, let's be real: the best memories are the ones where you feel like yourself—and don't look like every other guest in the park.Shop at 1923 Main StreetThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies, dresses, swimwear and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and have a magical day!Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week Disney made a surprise announcement that they are building a 7th Disney Park.  We discuss how this may impact the Company going forward and if this means Josh D'Amaro just became the frontrunner for CEO.

But what if you got to experience your best day ever at the parks? Would you rope drop or sleep in? What are your must ride attractions? Maybe you eat at your favorite restaurant? Well on today's show, we're doing just that by planning our perfect day at Hollywood Studios. Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.

Are you ready to maximize your Disney vacation and experience the most popular attractions with minimal wait times? We're diving deep into the strategic world of "rope dropping" at Walt Disney World - that magical practice of arriving before park opening to be among the first guests rushing to key attractions.Every minute counts when planning your Disney mornings, and we're sharing our battle-tested strategies for each park. At Magic Kingdom, Space Mountain emerges as our family's go-to choice while the crowds rush to Fantasyland. We'll explain why Tomorrowland's morning ambiance creates the perfect start to your day, along with alternatives like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train for families with different priorities.Hollywood Studios presents the toughest rope drop decisions with its concentration of blockbuster attractions. Should you prioritize Rise of the Resistance's immersive Star Wars experience or the classic thrills of Tower of Terror? We break down the pros and cons of each option, plus family-friendly alternatives in Toy Story Land.For Animal Kingdom enthusiasts, we reveal why Kilimanjaro Safaris might actually be a better rope drop choice than Flight of Passage for repeat visitors. The morning safari experience offers significantly more active animals and natural behaviors than you'll see later in the day - a complete game-changer for wildlife lovers.From Test Track at EPCOT to the strategic value of experiencing elaborate queues without the crushing crowds, these insider tips will transform how you approach your Disney mornings.

We're kicking off our multi-day Disneyland trip report with everything that went down on Day 1—from coast-to-coast travel logistics to indulging in incredible food and drink around Downtown Disney.We start with trip planning details, including why we chose this time of year, how far in advance we booked, total costs, and what it took to get from Florida to Anaheim. We break down our travel day experience, our choice of transportation, and what it's like navigating the journey from the airport to the magic.Next, we dive into our stay at the charming and historic Candy Cane Inn, including fun facts (like how it was almost named the “Cinderella Inn” until Walt stepped in), amenities, and why it might be the best off-property value near Disneyland.Then we explore Downtown Disney, grabbing a bite at Naples Ristorante e Bar (spoiler: the Prosciutto e Melone pizza and mocktails are winners), shopping at World of Disney, and taking in the luxurious ambiance of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel.Our evening wraps up with refreshing drinks—including an impressive non-alcoholic lineup—at Ballast Point Brewing Co., a flavorful dinner at the newly reimagined Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio, and a sweet stop at Beignets Expressed.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

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!
