We're heading down the bayou for a sibling showdown as Port Orleans Riverside takes on Port Orleans French Quarter in the latest round of Resort Wars. These two charming Moderates may share a name and a boat to Disney Springs, but when it comes to theming, food, amenities, and overall vibe—they couldn't be more different. We walk through seven battle rounds, comparing everything from room layouts and transportation to pool fun, recreation options, and value for your hard-earned vacation dollar. French Quarter brings that cozy, jazz-filled energy with colorful buildings, cobblestone streets, and of course—those famous Mickey-shaped beignets. Riverside answers back with lush walking paths, Royal Guest Rooms, and the fan-favorite Yeeha Bob at River Roost Lounge. Along the way, we'll share our own experiences at both resorts, a few personal preferences, and what we think makes each one special. We also reveal the results from your votes in our Facebook poll—because this battle isn't just about us…it's about the whole Main Street Magic community. So grab your floatworks beignet or your fishing rod from Ol' Man Island, and let's settle this once and for all.

https://lnk.bio/Jeditalk The trailer we have all been waiting for is here! We watch and break down what we believe was everything seen in the trailer - we are sure we left some out!  Did you catch the latest Star Wars LEGO special on Disney+ - it was excellent!  John Boyega has thoughts on how he would handle the sequel trilogy.  Did you see how much it cost to make The Acolyte...we react.  Darth Vader was moved fron the now closed Launch Bay at Hollywood Studios - his new location is better than the alternative.  All of this and more on episode 408 of Jedi Talk! (even though we said 407 multiple times on air... SMH)  

On this weeks episode of The Theme Park Podcast, the guys give a euology to Star Wars Launch Bay as it makes way for The Magic of Disney Animation experience. Along the way they discuss Darth Vader moving to a new location and ponder the future of Star Wars at Hollywood Studios. Then Jimmy recaps doing trivia at the Hard Rock Live, Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is sold out and more.Follow The Show:FacebookInstagramYouTube

It's Jeff's turn for some random Disney and DVC questions — and no topic is off limits! From what we'd add to Hollywood Studios, to which 2042 Disney Vacation Club resort we'd bulldoze, Jeff puts us on the spot with fun (and sometimes tough!) choices. Plus, because Derek insisted, we dive into a little preview of the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and what we're most excited about.We want to hear from YOU — what would you add to Hollywood Studios, and which 2042 resort would you say goodbye to?

Send us a textCan a Disney snack be judged solely on taste, or do practical considerations like messiness and portability matter just as much when you're navigating a crowded theme park? This question forms the delicious core of our latest food-focused adventure where we play "Stop, Stroll, or Trash" with beloved Disney park treats.As we sip on our carefully recreated La Renina Cita cocktail from Magic Key Lounge (a complex blend of gin, Campari, pineapple, orgeat syrup, and lemon juice that delivers a sweet grapefruit hit followed by herbal bitterness), we sort Disney foods into three categories: those worth stopping to enjoy properly, those perfect for strolling while eating, and those we'd simply skip.The game reveals our strategic approach to Disney dining. Beignets earn high marks for sitting and savoring, while churros prove perfect strolling companions. Turkey legs face unanimous rejection—"I don't have time for a turkey leg" becomes our rallying cry against impractical park foods. Meanwhile, the breakfast Ronto Wrap from Galaxy's Edge earns the title of "best breakfast in the parks," and the carrot cake cookie from Hollywood Studios emerges as an unexpected favorite.Our most passionate debate erupts over Blue Milk from Galaxy's Edge, with one of us enjoying it while the other declares it "tastes like drinking perfume." We also discover that certain food combinations could create the perfect Disney snack experience—like pairing Jack Jack Cookie Num Nums with soft serve from the Abominable Snowman's shop.Whether you're planning your next Disney visit or simply enjoy food talk, our sometimes surprising, often passionate rankings offer both entertainment and practical advice for navigating the culinary landscape of Disney parks. After all, in a place where every minute counts, knowing which treats are worth your time might be the most valuable Disney tip of all.Here's who we are and what is in store for you

We're recording poolside at Disney's brand-new tower at the Polynesian Village Resort to talk all about the best Disney staycation resorts across several categories. Most people think of Walt Disney World as a place where you have to be in the parks from sunrise to fireworks, but we believe some of the very best Disney vacations happen when you never even step foot inside a park.For us, a Disney staycation is all about slowing down, relaxing, and enjoying everything the resorts have to offer. These aren't just hotels — they're destinations on their own. We're talking pools that feel like mini waterparks, restaurants that rival anything in Orlando, lounges with unbeatable theming, and hidden corners where you can kick back and unwind. Each resort has its own atmosphere, and some truly transport you to another world.In this episode, we're breaking it all down across several categories — from best pools and dining to most relaxing resorts, family favorites, and even a few hidden gems that often get overlooked. Whether you're planning your very first no-parks Disney getaway or you just want to know which resorts we think make for the perfect staycation, we've got you covered.

This Warner Bros. 1932 episode is a double feature of Glasmon-Bright scripts directed by Pre-Code wizards: Mervyn LeRoy's Three on a Match, a tight little melodrama about the cryptic and arbitrary nature of self-destruction with Ann Dvorak as a wealthy housewife beset by ennui; and Roy Del Ruth's Taxi!, in which Loretta Young has to stand up to James Cagney's hot-headed cab driver, although neither his violence nor her self-control is going to help them fight those who have more power under capitalism. At 63 and 69 minutes respectively, they pack a Cagney-style punch--no flab, just Warners Pre-Code energy! Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:      Warner Brothers and 1932 0h 05m 08s:      TAXI!  [dir.

Disney's Hollywood Studios is getting some major updates, and Ashley and Sammi have lots of thoughts. From the brand-new Villains and Little Mermaid shows (Sammi especially loves Ariel's refreshed spotlight) to the heartbreaking news of Mama Melrose closing its doors and the loss of Muppet Vision 3D, emotions are running high. The Rockin' Rollercoaster revamp sounds like a blast, but will it leave some Muppet fans behind? Thankfully, the new Animation Courtyard is shaping up to be a star, and fingers crossed the Star Wars meet and greets find a comfy new home. It's equal parts pixie dust and tissues this week as Ashley and Sammi dive into all the Hollywood Studios drama.Follow your new Disney besties on Instagram @pixiedusttwinspodcast and on TikTok @pixiedusttwinspodcastFollow Dan, honorary third host of the "Pixie Dust Twins" Podcast, and King of the Manifestos: @Dantaastic on Instagram and YouTubeHave ideas for the show?

We're diving into an epic Disney Resort showdown as two fan-favorite moderates go head-to-head: Caribbean Beach Resort vs. Coronado Springs Resort. It's a battle of beaches and bridges, towers and tropical villages, as we break down each resort across seven key categories to help you decide which one is right for your next Walt Disney World stay.First, we introduce both contenders. Caribbean Beach — Disney's very first moderate resort — brings that bright, beachy island energy, complete with a Skyliner hub, colorful villages, and family-friendly vibes. Meanwhile, Coronado Springs enters the ring with Spanish and Southwest-inspired architecture, top-notch dining, and the sleek, deluxe-style Gran Destino Tower, offering business-class comfort without the deluxe price tag.We go round by round through theming, rooms, dining, transportation, recreation, value, and even listener input, using your votes to help crown a winner. From rooftop tapas at Toledo to Sebastian's Bistro's coastal charm, and from the Dig Site pool to the Fuentes del Morro splash zone, both resorts bring serious perks to the table.So, which moderate resort comes out on top? Tune in as we weigh the magic, the convenience, and the cost to settle the debate once and for all.

We're taking you on a flavorful adventure across Walt Disney World with three unique stops that deliver everything from hidden menu gems to over-the-top themed cocktails. We start at Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom, where we try the Enchanted Orange Dream — a refreshing, citrusy twist on DOLE Whip served with a playful candy rim. We also indulge in their off-menu Brazilian cheese bread (trust us, it's worth asking for), as well as two standout entrées: the Mess Hall Duck Fried Rice and the Nile Nellie's Noodle Bowl.Next, we head over to Disney Springs and drop into Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar for a mix of spooky snacks and creative concoctions. From deviled “zombie” eggs and mummy-wrapped sausages to the vibrant Cauldron Cooler and the nonalcoholic Snake Egg Surprise, this spot blends Indiana Jones-style theming with Halloween-ready flavor.Finally, we wrap things up at Beak & Barrel, the brand-new pirate lounge tucked into Adventureland at Magic Kingdom. With its moody décor, shareable plates, and immersive drinks served in skull mugs and topped with gold, it's already one of the most exciting new dining additions in the parks. Grab your appetite and join us!

We're taking you with us on a flavorful trip around the world — as we break down everything you need to know about the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, running August 28 through November 22.We share our top festival tips, from where to stay and how to pace yourself, to why sharing is not only caring — it's strategic. We talk budget hacks, gift card wristlets, and why weekends might not be your best bet.Then we dig into the Global Marketplaces, covering every single booth — the good, the bad, and the “seriously, who approved that recipe?” You'll hear which dishes blew us away, which ones missed the mark, and what you have to try before the festival ends.Plus, we chat Eat to the Beat concerts, scavenger hunts like Remy's Hide & Squeak and Pluto's Pumpkin Pursuit, and those extra little surprises that make Food & Wine more than just a snack crawl.So grab your festival passport and come hungry — because we're not holding back.

This month, we wrap up all things Summer at Walt Disney World! Dialing it back, we recap our Flavor of Florida finale, the news shows that premiered at Disney's Hollywood Studios this year, and diving deeper into Lorcana. We also start shifting into Fall, discussing our first impressions of Halloween Horror Nights 34. We also react to some of the big news coming out of this past weekend's Destination D23 Event.  Join the conversation on social media @monoreelradio on all major platforms, or send us an email at monoreelradio@gmail.com.

Today we are so excited to have our friend Ally from Pennsylvania (and The Clubhouse) join us to share her trip from just a couple of weeks ago! This was a special trip because she got engaged while staying at Disney's Riviera Resort! We talk about the planning of the trip, how Jacob popped the question, some great dining at places like the Edison, the Cake Bake Shop, and Cinderella's Royal Table, times in all four theme parks, building droids at Hollywood Studios and much more!

Off-season continues, and this week we're rewinding to one that hits especially close to home.We're heading back to Season 2, Episode 13: Canceled: Muppet Studios, a fan favorite from our Canceled series. In this episode, Kaity and Marissa reimagined a full Muppets land for Hollywood Studios, filled with joy, heart, and the kind of humor only the Muppets can deliver.With the recent closure of Muppet Courtyard and the removal of Muppet*Vision 3D, this one feels more timely than ever. Marissa starts things off with a heartfelt reflection on why this space mattered, how we got here, and what's next for everyone's favorite felt-covered chaos crew.If you're still mourning the loss of Muppet Courtyard, you're not alone. This episode is for you.Send us a textSupport the showDon't forget to check us out on Instagram!

We dive into our first stay at the new DVC Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort — and for the first time ever, we brought the dogs! From check-in to checkout, we're breaking down what it's really like to travel to Walt Disney World with your furry family members, including how the pups adjusted, what's included in Pluto's Welcome Kit, and why Fort Wilderness might just be the most peaceful spot on property to settle in and stay a while.We also talk through Disney's pet policy in full — which resorts allow dogs, how the booking process works, and what to expect when that $50 nightly fee kicks in. Then we get into the cabins themselves: the layout, the comfort, the thoughtful little touches, and how these redesigned spaces compare to other DVC options around property. Speaking of golf carts, we couldn't resist — and we're glad we didn't. We share how having one will totally change the vibe of your trip, made traveling with the dogs easier, and added a little extra fun to everything from fried chicken pickups to late-night loops through the campground.From there, we head into classic Fort Wilderness territory: scavenger hunts, gem mining at the Bike Barn, and a perfect mix of old-school charm and new family memories. We talk about meals at the cabin, including an easy homemade breakfast and a fried chicken feast from P&J's Southern Takeout that might still be one of the best values on Disney property.And of course, it wouldn't be a Main Street Magic episode without snacks around property. We'll tell you which ones were worth it (looking at you, monkey bread), which surprised us (hello, watermelon pop), and which ones we're still dreaming about (yes, that Lunchbox tart deserves the hype). We also wrap things up with a trip to Toothsome at Universal for a massive Cookie Jar sundae and one of the sweetest finales we've had in a while.Whether you're thinking about booking a cabin, bringing your pup, or just want to hear about monkey bread and golf cart joyrides, this one's packed with Fort Wilderness magic.

Be our guest as we invite you to pull up a chair and join us for dinner at VIVO Italian Kitchen™ inside Universal CityWalk™ Orlando. Instead of reviewing the restaurant after the fact, we did something different — we hit record right at the table so you could hear our real-time thoughts as the evening unfolded. From the moment the appetizer arrived to the last sip of our mocktails, every reaction, laugh, and side conversation was captured live.We each ordered something different, from handmade pasta entrées crafted with heirloom family recipes to creative zero-proof drinks that gave the night a refreshing twist. Along the way, we share our honest takes on presentation, portion size, service, and overall atmosphere. You'll hear the clink of silverware, the banter over the check, and the little details that make dining at VIVO a uniquely immersive experience.But of course, because it's us, the night also went a little sideways — leading to a surprisingly deep (and funny) conversation about VIVO's bathrooms, which turned out to be some of the most unusual we've ever seen at a theme park restaurant. By the end, we're not just talking food, but also sinks, stalls, and the unwritten etiquette of handwashing.If you've ever wondered what it's really like to dine at VIVO Italian Kitchen™, this episode delivers the flavors, the fun, and even a few unexpected laughs.

The Swan and Dolphin are Marriott Bonvoy properties that have been at Walt Disney World since 1990 (their sister Marriott property, Swan Reserve, opened in 2021), and they hosted my family for a two-night stay at the Swan on a recent trip to Central Florida. As a good neighbor hotel officially with Disney Deluxe Resort benefits, the Swan is located in the EPCOT Crescent Lake resort area with easy walking distance (or Friendship boat) access to EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's BoardWalk, and Disney's Yacht & Beach Club resorts, plus bus service to Magic Kingdom (via Transportation and Ticket Center), Disney's Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs. With comfortable rooms, world-class service, and a wide range of dining and recreation, the Swan is a hotel you should definitely consider for your next Walt Disney World vacation. You can learn more at https://swandolphin.com/ and https://www.instagram.com/swandolphin.   In this episode, we discuss everything you need to know about staying at the Swan, reveal details that make this property noteworthy, share reasons why you might want to stay here, and offer suggestions about how to make the most of your stay.   To plan a trip, be sure to work with KMV Travel.   Get bonus content, ad-free episodes, and more at patreon.com/imaginationskyway.   Tag me and join the conversation below.
