I'm joined by a very special guest—my daughter Kailyn—as we recap a whirlwind Disney weekend full of sun, snacks, and some serious theme park hustle.Kailyn hadn't stepped foot in the 4 Walt Disney World parks since Thanksgiving of 2023—and before that, Christmas 2022. But rewind a bit further, and she was basically raised at Disney. As a longtime Annual Passholder, she spent years visiting once or twice a month with us, until both kids eventually hit that wall a lot of families know all too well: Disney burnout. So they let their passes go, took a step back… and just like that, a new chapter began.But this past weekend, we opened the book again. On Thursday, it was off to Typhoon Lagoon for a splash-filled day of water slides, waves, and lazy rivers. Then we cleaned up and headed to Disney Springs for shopping and dinner at Wailulu Bar & Grill. (Spoiler: we'll be talking about poke bowls, fish, and tattoos.)And then came Friday—a 16-hour park day that took us to EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom and packed in 20 attractions. We're talking thrill rides, strategy, food fuel, and some genuine moments of rediscovering the magic.You'll hear Kailyn's honest take on what it was like coming back after nearly two years away, how the parks felt different, and what moments reminded her why she used to love it in the first place.This is a special one for us—a dad-daughter Disney trip with laughs, nostalgia, and a whole lot of fun.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

The movies we viewed for this RKO 1931 Studios Year by Year episode couldn't be more different: the sprawling Cimarron (starring Richard Dix as America's psychotic inner conflict) prompts us to speculate about Edna Ferber as a source auteur and the intertwining of her vision of America with Hollywood across three decades; while the tight, play-like Traveling Husbands (starring Evelyn Brent as a bitter sex worker with noble impulses), demonstrates the pressures capitalism exerts on men and therefore on women. But together, these movies show that the Pre-Code is good for a lot more than just sex-and-crime titillation. Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s: CIMARRON [dir.

It's a red, white, and blue week at the parks! Sam and Greg are back for the July 9, 2025, episode of This Week at Walt Disney World with fireworks, construction walls, holiday announcements, and a farewell to two Magic Kingdom classics. https://youtu.be/YZEvNV0IKVw July 2025 Disney World Closures: Liberty Belle & Tom Sawyer Island Two longtime staples of Magic Kingdom have officially taken their final voyages. The Liberty Belle Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island are now closed to make way for Walt Disney World's newest expansion: Piston Peak and Villains Land. Construction walls have gone up across Frontierland, and if you're riding the monorail, keep your eyes open—early staging work has already begun and is visible. Thanks to @bioreconstruct, we even have aerial images that show the impressive scale of what's coming next. As these classic experiences fade into the past, guests have been spotting a few mysterious new doors around the construction zone. Are they functional? Themed? Or just a bit of Disney magic teasing what's to come? Time will tell. Fourth of July in the Parks No better time to be at Walt Disney World than Independence Day weekend, and Sam and Greg celebrated in true patriotic fashion. https://youtu.be/MPBbbC3hUTM July 2025 Disney World Holiday Season Preview Walt Disney World has released full details for the upcoming 2025 holiday season. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party returns to Magic Kingdom with festive overlays and new entertainment. EPCOT's Festival of the Holidays is also back, bringing seasonal flavors and the Candlelight Processional to World Showcase from November 28 to December 30, 2025. And at Hollywood Studios, Disney Jollywood Nights continues its new holiday tradition with glitz, glam, and retro-inspired fun. Ticket sale dates and event specifics were announced, providing planners with ample time to prepare for the season. Haunted Mansion Merch & Small World Update at Disney World New Haunted Mansion merchandise has materialized across the parks, with spooky styles perfect for any foolish mortal. These items are arriving just in time to celebrate Halloween-in-July vibes, offering apparel, accessories, and collectibles inspired by everyone's favorite ghostly retreat. And starting July 17, 2025, It's a Small World will debut its emotional final verse. Originally penned by the late Richard Sherman as his last gift to Disney, the verse will premiere as part of Disneyland's 70th celebration and will also be added to the Walt Disney World version of the attraction. Railroad Shuttle & Monsters Inc. Land Construction at Disney World A new phrase is circulating—literally. Guests have begun to notice a "shuttle" operating on the Walt Disney World Railroad. This temporary change allows continued access while construction expands around the train's path, particularly as work intensifies in Frontierland. Over at Hollywood Studios, the staging work for the long-rumored Monsters Inc. Land is moving fast—and it's massive. Cranes and steel are already visible behind the current Pixar Place area, giving us a peek at what might be the next big immersive land. And Don't Forget… The new gold medallions at the Transportation and Ticket Center have caught our eye, adding another small touch of Disney detail. And speaking of touches, the Muppets 70th celebration continues—with even more collectible magnets now available across the parks. It's been a huge week, and we're just getting started. Be sure to catch the full video episode of This Week at Walt Disney World for all the photos, footage, and fun—only on SamsDisneyDiary!

We're taking you along on a whirlwind couple of days at Walt Disney World—complete with friends, food, drinks, and a few unexpected twists (including a surprise snake sighting near the Skyliner… yep, that happened).We kicked things off with snacks and sips at Bar Riva to see some Cast Member friends alongside our good friends Lucie and Caleb, and the fun just kept rolling from there. We did a little shopping in Pandora (yes, we bought rings), used an Individual Lightning Lane for Cosmic Rewind, and bounced around resorts chasing dinner plans from California Grill to Steakhouse 71 to Three Bridges—where we finally found our perfect Plan C, great food, and some awesome cast member interactions.We also squeezed in some magic at Magic Kingdom to ride Haunted Mansion, placed a special hat embroidery order, and spent a rainy afternoon at Disney Springs catching up, indulging in Salt & Straw, and hiding out at Jock Lindsey's. The trip wrapped up with poolside snacks at Siestas, an evening at Dahlia Lounge, and a final stop at Jeff's Bagels on the way home—because you know we weren't leaving without breakfast handled.It was a trip full of laughs, detours, and Disney magic, and we can't wait to share it with you.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're stepping outside the Disney bubble and heading deep into the heart of Texas for an unforgettable trip to Austin. That's right—we swapped MagicBands for cowboy boots and spent the weekend soaking up everything Austin has to offer, from mouthwatering food to meaningful moments.We're talking Michelin-starred barbecue brisket that melts in your mouth, spicy chicken from a food truck named Spicy Boys, an incredible cowgirl hat experience at Kendra Scott's Yellow Rose boutique, and a dive bar that turned out to be surprisingly sober-friendly. Plus, opening up about a powerful personal milestone—reaching 475 days of sobriety—and how a three-hour Blue October concert helped finally deliver the clarity.Whether it's floating in freezing cold Barton Springs, indulging in gourmet ice cream, or spotting a puppy in an Uber, this was a weekend filled with unexpected joy, emotional growth, and plenty of laughter. So if you're looking for an inspiring, delicious, and downright weird adventure beyond the theme parks, grab your hat (and maybe a churro for comfort) and come along for the ride!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

If it's too hard, just ignore it! Sara's back from the theatre, Stephanie has a new foster, and we're taking "spiritual avoidance" head on and encountering something called bypassing. You see this all the time, and not just in spiritual communities. Avoidance, platitudes, "thoughts and prayers".... all of this can be substituted for actually identifying triggers or sitting in your actual feelings, which doesn't help you to heal or grow. So today we're confronting the idea of spiritual bypassing so you can catch yourself in the act or know when it's happening around you. Remember, no one wants to be a SPIRITUAL NARCISSIST! (dun dun DUN!)Then, at the end, a little Disney debrief about Hollywood Studios and why we know we're getting old because of motion sickness.Also, we're trying out YouTube, so go check out our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@mdmthepodMore to come there!Today's sources:Emotional Bypassing and Trauma Lock: https://aihcp.net/2024/03/06/emotional-bypassing-and-trauma-lock/Spiritual Bypass: 5 Common Examples, Why It Happens, and What to Do: https://melissanoelrenzi.com/spiritual-bypass/Spiritual Bypassing as a Defense Mechanism: https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-spiritual-bypassing-5081640 We love talking woo with you!Follow along with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mdmthepod/Join our Facebook group, Multidimensional Moms.For ad inquiries or guest/topic ideas, email us at mdmthepod@gmail.comSee you next time!

For our main topic, Holly and Rob give a walkthrough and trip review for their recent voyage on the Disney Dream. For our first-time cruisers, is a Disney Cruise as magical as we've all been told?

We're taking a delicious deep dive into the snack scene at Disney Springs to determine which treats are truly worth your time, money, and appetite. With so many tempting options, we're breaking them down by taste, value, portion size, and uniqueness to see which ones deserve a resounding “Eat it!” and which you may want to “Beat it!”We kick things off at Swirls on the Water with the DOLE Whip Flight—a $7.99 trio that serves up a sampler-sized portion of Disney's most iconic soft-serve in playful, unique swirls like banana and salted caramel or mint chocolate, all with fun toppings. Then we hit the heavyweight champion of cookies at Gideon's Bakehouse, where the limited-time White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookie clocks in at nearly half a pound and over 24 hours of prep time, offering rich flavor and chewy-crispy contrast.From there, it's on to Sprinkles for a fresh cupcake delivered from their famous ATM, and then we hop over to The Daily Poutine, where $10.49 gets you a hot, hearty portion of Canadian-style comfort food—fries, gravy, and cheddar curds that are perfect for sharing. Summer House offers up a gooey cookie bar that's just as pretty as it is tasty, while Chicken Guy delivers classic tenders with a sauce-sampling twist that brings the flavor (and a bit of Food Network flair).We wrap with Homecomin's beloved Momma's Mac and Cheese, Morimoto Asia's sticky-sweet spare ribs, Everglazed's pillowy doughnuts, and the wildly inventive small-batch ice creams from Salt & Straw—think strawberry balsamic or honey lavender atop a crisp waffle cone.Whether you're strolling the Springs for a quick bite or plotting a full-on snack crawl, this episode is your go-to guide for the tastiest (and most interesting) stops along the way.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

A curious pairing for this Fox 1931 Studios Year by Year episode: an unsung WWI drama, but as good as any, William K. Howard's Surrender, starring Warner Baxter, Leila Hyams, and an almost unrecognizable (both his appearance and his performance) Ralph Bellamy; and the Will Rogers version of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, which mainly seems to exist so that Rogers can lasso a lance from a knight in a joust. Spoiler: modernity proves to be more than either King Arthur's Court or Ralph Bellamy want to handle, and we dig into their discontents.

This week on the Dis-List Podcast, Nick and Rob dive into a Disney World daydream—what if we had the parks all to ourselves? No lines. No crowds. Just us and the magic.

From rope drop to close (or sooner!), we look at ride durations, walking distances, and even snack breaks to figure out just how fast you could conquer Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom with the place to yourself.Would Magic Kingdom take longer than EPCOT? Could you finish Animal Kingdom before lunch? Let's find out in this ultimate Disney time trial!
