Disneyland over spring break is not for the faint of heart, but that doesn't mean it has to be a bad experience. If you play your cards right (and have the right expectations), you can still have amazing experiences, eat great food, meet your heroes, snag all the Lightning Lanes you want, and even squeeze in a daily nap. Here's our trip report of all the stuff we got up to in the Happiest Place on Earth.----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

In this episode of the Where We Roam podcast, hosts John, Dayna, and Shawn dive into the biggest theme park rivalry of the decade: Disney vs. Universal. With Universal's Epic Universe set to redefine the Orlando park experience, the trio explores how Disney is responding—including new 2026 promotions like the kids-eat-free dining plan. They break down travel trends post-COVID, why Disney's attendance is down, and whether 2026 will be a bounce-back year or another slow season. From Magic Bands to Magic Kingdom, Lightning Lanes to room discounts, it's a real talk about value, strategy, and what guests can expect as the theme park wars heat up. Plus: hot takes on a potential fifth gate, the future of FastPass, and why some fans are trimming Disney for Epic.

In episode 459 of WDW Prep To Go, Kim discusses her first Disneyland trip with her family, covering their itinerary, dining at Blue Bayou, and highlights like yoga at California Adventure and the Lamplight Lounge VIP experience.

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! We hope you can continue the conversation with us this week in the Be Our Guest Podcast Clubhouse at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse! Thank you so much for your support of our podcast!

John Cena's back on top… and Kevin Nash has thoughts. In this week's episode, Big Kev breaks down the shockwaves of WrestleMania and why he thinks the ending was more “Hogan in '96” than the crowd may have realized. From kayfabe power dynamics to merch-moving politics, it's all under the microscope as Kevin sets the table for what should come next. But before we get into the squared circle, we take a cinematic detour. Michael Mann's Heat, Kevin Bacon playing a literal devil's bounty hunter, and how many rewatches does it take to admit Collateral might not hold up? Kev's got opinions, Sean's got DVD nostalgia, and somehow Al Pacino ends up with a jobber's gimmick. Welcome to Kliq This. The boys also break down what it really means to “look like a star” in today's wrestling climate—whether you're a 6'10” killer or a 5'1” flipper. Kev doesn't mince words when comparing Rey Mysterio's legacy to modern high-flyers, and yes, someone ends up being called a Shetland pony. Is the WWE pricing out the working-class fan? Is Heyman really the MacGuffin that holds the industry together? And why do modern entrances feel more like Coachella sets than fight-night spectacles? Kev walks through the economics, the nostalgia, and the fire (literally) of what makes a great entrance… and why Diesel's never gotten the love it deserved. And finally, WrestleMania predictions fly fast and furious—including a huge twist involving Cena, Cody, and Paul Heyman. Kev sees the chessboard clearly, even if it ends with someone becoming a “Heyman bottom.” If that line doesn't get your attention, nothing will. Watch now—before the markets open.

Send us a textWondering how to survive Disney with someone who'd rather be anywhere else? Or perhaps you're the one dreading the family Disney trip? Either way, we've got you covered as we sip on a Smoked Turkey cocktail from Olivia's Cafe at Disney's Old Key West Resort and dive into survival strategies for the reluctant Disney visitor.The cocktail itself—a bourbon-based concoction with cherry liqueur, grenadine, and a hint of hickory smoke—seems perfectly designed for that stereotypical grumpy grandpa sitting on his DVC balcony while the grandkids watch cartoons inside. Much like a reluctant Disney visitor's experience, our review is lukewarm: not horrible, but not something we'd eagerly order again.We explore this topic from two complementary angles. First, how to prepare someone who's less than enthusiastic about Disney: showing them nostalgic Disney live-action movies beforehand, finding their favorite foods in the parks, scheduling non-park days for longer stays, and strategically using Lightning Lanes to minimize frustration with lines. After all, nothing makes a grumpy visitor grumpier than paying "$150 to get in and another $40 to go on rides."Then we catalog the classic complaints you'll hear (expensive food, lack of shade, early wake-up calls) and offer survival strategies for the reluctant visitor themselves: finding air-conditioned refuges like Hall of Presidents, strategic snacking to create natural breaks, slipping away to use single rider lines, perfecting the same grumpy expression for every photo, and sampling Disney's many adult beverages.Whether you're the Disney enthusiast dragging someone along or the one being dragged, these strategies might just save your vacation. And remember, if you ever get separated from your group, the safest survival strategy is to head straight to the nearest lounge and stay put!Here's who we are and what is in store for you

In this episode, we walk you through how to use Disney's Lightning Lanes with Multi Pass and Single Pass!

In this episode, Jess and Alex are sharing all the magic, insights, and travel tips they brought back from a recent media event at Walt Disney World. From exclusive behind-the-scenes tours to exciting new ticket and resort updates, they're joined by Megan—Travel Mom Squad's Disney expert—to talk about how to make a Disney trip more affordable, less stressful, and extra special using points and miles. What's New at Disney World? Big Updates & Summer Deals During the media event, Jess and Alex sat in on a panel with Disney execs and Imagineers who revealed upcoming changes and summer promotions—like 50% off tickets for kids (ages 3–9) and free dining plans for guests booking resort packages. They also shared how Disney is working to simplify the experience, with improvements to the Lightning Lane system and new family-focused resort programming.  Why Staying On-Property Might Be the Best Deal One of the biggest takeaways? Staying at a Disney resort may cost less than you think—especially when you consider perks like free transportation, early park access, and even character visits right in the hotel. The team shares highlights from a private resort tour, including a peek at value resorts like Art of Animation (with family suites for six!), the moderate Coronado Springs, and the deluxe Boardwalk Inn. Megan also breaks down recent stays at the Swan and Dolphin, All-Star Music, and off-property Hyatts—and why she's team Disney all the way. Making Disney More Affordable with Points & Miles Jess, Alex, and Megan walk through the credit cards they recommend for offsetting the cost of Disney, including the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card for erasing ticket purchases and American Express® Gold Card for dining. They also explain how to book hotels using points for on-site stays.  Park Tips, Lightning Lanes & Planning Strategies From early-entry tips to the best times to ride Peter Pan (hint: before 9am), this episode is packed with practical Disney advice. Megan also shares how she used the Southwest® Companion Pass to cut flight costs and why her family skipped Lightning Lanes altogether on some trips.  Planning a Disney trip this summer? This episode is packed with what you really need to know—straight from the Travel Mom Squad's latest Disney adventure. Hit play or share it with a Disney-loving friend!

Summary In this conversation, Becca shares her insider tips for navigating Disneyland during the busy Spring Break season. She discusses the timing of spring breaks across the country, strategies for managing crowds, the importance of utilizing Lightning Lanes, and dining tips to enhance the experience. The conversation emphasizes setting realistic expectations for visitors to ensure a fun and memorable trip. Links: Save on Disneyland and other theme parks: https://getawaytoday.com/castletalk Rope Drop strategies: https://thiscrazyadventurecalledlife.com/rope-drop-disneyland/ Episode on YouTube with visuals of LightningLane hack: https://youtu.be/I0H5LWyQP50?si=G9_XytFAsAEmjgM0&t=444     Takeaways Spring break at Disneyland spans March and April, peaking around Easter. Weekends during spring break can be less crowded due to local Magic Key holders being blocked out. Families should prioritize their schedules over school spring break dates. Rope drop is the best strategy for low crowds in the morning. Utilizing Lightning Lanes effectively can save time during busy periods. Dining at off-peak hours can help avoid long lines and crowded seating. The park has hidden seating areas that can be utilized for meals. Setting realistic expectations can lead to a more enjoyable experience. Encouraging family members to choose must-do rides can help manage expectations. Packing patience is essential for navigating the park during busy times.     Keywords Disneyland, Spring Break, insider tips, crowd management, family vacation, Lightning Lane, dining strategies, realistic expectations      

Summary In this episode, Becca and Toni discuss their experiences at the 2025 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival. They share their thoughts on the festival's menu, the balance between food and wine offerings, and their personal favorites and disappointments from the event. The conversation also includes tips for attendees and reflections on how this year's festival compares to previous ones.   Takeaways The festival leaned more towards wine than food this year. Many food booths offered fewer items than in previous years. Some attendees did not deem the Sip and Savor Pass worth it. The California Punch was a standout beverage choice. Lemon Pepper Wings received positive feedback for flavor. The pineapple and coconut cheesecake was a highlight for many. Some food items were disappointing and lacked flavor. The festival felt crowded, impacting the overall experience. Ordering food ahead can save time, but check date restrictions. This year's festival was considered less exciting than previous years.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Disney World announced that Cosmic Rewind and Tiana's will be dropping their virtual queue this week, which may or may not be a ploy to get more people to buy Lightning Lanes. Plus we finally have a replacement for the defunct NBA Experience at Disney Springs and it's very similar to the previous tenant, Disney Quest.  Coincidence? You be the judge. Have you ever seen a group of people in the parks with a Plaid and thought “are they a celebrity?” If you're like us, then the answer is a definite Yes.  But the answer 99% of the time is that they are just a group on a VIP Tour. VIP Tours are one of the most unique (and expensive) tours Disney offers and allows up to 10 people to do whatever they want across all of the parks for the day. We were lucky enough to be able to join some friends on their VIP Tour, so now we're giving a full recap from the highlights to the things we'd do differently. So join us as we recap one of the most fun (and expensive) days we've had at Disney World. Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.
