Podcasts about Magic Kingdom

In this episode, I chat with Krysta about her sisters-only land and sea trip that combined Disney World and a Disney Cruise on the Fantasy. They stayed at the BoardWalk, used Lightning Lanes at EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom, and sailed to Lookout Cay and Nassau with plenty of adult-area time and a Remy's brunch. We break down what worked, what surprised them, and what they'd do again.   Links: Small World Vacations Disney Cruise Line Request Ultimate Disney Cruise Packing List How to do embarkation day on Disney Cruise Line How to do disembarkation on Disney Cruise Line   Leave me a message (including trip report submissions) Please use the SpeakPipe link below to leave us a message with your first name, location, and trip info.

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - Back in Attraction Checklist episode #156, we brought you Disneyland's version of Tiana's Bayou Adventure.  Now it's time to head to Walt Disney World and ride the Magic Kingdom version on this episode of Attraction Checklist. Attraction audio recorded on May 21, 2025. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode we visit Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom to ride Tiana's Bayou Adventure. The Walt Disney World website describes this attraction saying: Drop on in and come along for the ride with Princess Tiana on this exhilarating musical adventure. Guests must be 40" or taller to ride this attraction. Before we search the bayou for musicians, here are five fast facts about Tiana's Bayou Adventure. 1. Tiana's Bayou Adventure opened at Magic Kingdom on November 15, 2024. 2. The attraction is, of course, a complete overhaul and retheming of the Splash Mountain attraction we covered in Attraction Checklist episode #66.  Splash Mountain's last day of operation before closing for the retheming was January 23, 2023. 3. While developing the new attraction, Imagineer Tony Baxter, who worked on Splash Mountain, returned to work on Tiana's Bayou Adventure  as a creative advisor. 4. There are 48" audio-animatronics in the attraction. 5. The iconic drop of Tiana's Bayou Adventure is a whopping 53.5 feet or 16 meters. Let's now ride Tiana's Bayou Adventure.  John B. deHaas has joined me for this ride experience and after we ride we'll give you our thoughts on this attraction.  This is a binaural recording so if you have headphone, put them on now as we ride Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

We're lighting the torch and bringing back one of our favorite traditions — the Main Street Magic Disney Olympics, where we hand out bronze, silver, and gold medals across Walt Disney World in the only way we know how… with strong opinions and zero hesitation.From breathtaking resort views and nighttime vibes to walkable paths and poolside energy, we break down which resorts stand on the podium in 2026. Then we head into the parks to crown medalists for themed lands, ride merchandise, immersive queues, and our top World Showcase pavilions.Of course, no Olympics would be complete without food. We award medals for the best burgers, pizza, quick service dishes, shareable plates, comfort food spots, and dessert destinations across property. Some results may shock you. Some may spark debate. All are fully earned.And in our new “Refresh & Reset” category, we spotlight the best coffee experiences, cooling treats, and creative non-alcoholic beverages — because surviving (and thriving) at Walt Disney World in 2026 is all about balance.This episode is packed with hot takes, fan favorites, and a few surprises.

I am joined by Dr. Stephen Cabebe, founder of Fit for the Magic, to break down a smarter, healthier, and far more realistic way to think about fitness through the lens of Disney. We start with Stephen's personal journey—how Disney shifted from a once-in-a-while vacation into a core part of his life, and the moment he realized fitness and Disney didn't need to compete with each other.From there, we dive into the Fit for the Magic philosophy: why consistency beats intensity, why movement should exist between trips (not just before them), and how Disney itself can become an anchor habit for long-term health.We also unpack why Disney trips are closer to endurance events than vacations—covering standing fatigue, posture, mental overload, and why step count is one of the most overrated metrics in the parks. The conversation goes deeper into the mental side of Disney, exploring decision fatigue, emotional highs and lows, and how fitness can improve patience, mood, and resilience.Food gets a refresh too, with a guilt-free approach to fueling for joy, not restriction. And we wrap things up with active recovery Disney-style, plus a fast-paced Main Street Lightning Round that's equal parts practical and fun.If you want to enjoy Disney more, feel better in the parks, and stop “starting over” every Monday—this episode is for you.FOLLOW STEPHENWebsite: www.fitforthemagic.comBook: https://fitforthemagic.com/disneyreadyPodcast: https://fitforthemagic.com/category/happily-ever-active/Instagram: @fit.forthemagic Book a Disney Prep Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/stephen-cabebe/30min

It's hard for even the most devout Disney Apologist to forgive what was the original Disney's California Adventure. With a troubled budget from the start, and perhaps the wrong theme for millions of people already living in California, this failed on so many levels when it came out the gate. It certainly didn't help that it was being built across arguably the greatest park ever built. And yet in the shadows of Disneyland, there is really something magical about Disney California Adventure and with time and investment, it has come around to being the 5th most popular theme park in North America, behind Magic Kingdom, Disneyland, Epcot & Disney's Hollywood Studios, and yet ahead of Disney's Animal Kingdom, and every Universal Busch Gardens, Sea World and Six Flags park in the country. It's been a long 25 years, but with big new attractions coming, Disney California Adventure stands to compete in big ways moving forward.

We're recapping a recent Walt Disney World trip where we start with a big moment for longtime fans — one final ride on DINOSAUR at Disney's Animal Kingdom — sharing what it felt like to experience this attraction again and why it hit a little differently this time around.From there, we dive into Festival of the Arts for some updates at EPCOT while also taking a moment to pay tribute to Catherine O'Hara and her lasting impact. Along the way, we share what impressed us, what missed the mark, and what's actually worth your time (and appetite) on your next visit.We also spend time in Magic Kingdom soaking in some classic favorites — grabbing popcorn, stopping by Casey's Corner, and taking in the Starlight Parade — before doing what we somehow always end up doing and heading over to Disney Springs for Pizza Ponte and a scoop (or two) from Salt & Straw.Finally, we talk about staying off property once again — this time at TownePlace Suites Lake Buena Vista — and share honest thoughts on location, value, parking fees, included perks, and whether it makes sense compared to staying in the Disney bubble.

Send us a textTwo Amaretto Sours and a wild idea spark a full-blown caper: what if Disney characters ran a classic mafia? We pour, we taste, and we build an underworld—with Boss Mickey at the top, a heated consigliere debate (Minnie's steel vs Goofy's chill), and capos assigned to every park. It's satire, it's structure, and it's strangely satisfying as we map crews, enforcers, and “fronts” that fit each park's energy.We start at the bar, comparing a scratch Amaretto Sour to a Bartesian version and unpack why an amaretto-forward balance works even for bourbon skeptics. Then we lay out the family tree. Disneyland gets old-school charm with Roger or Oswald and a transportation racket that kicks tribute upstairs. DCA runs on engines and muscle—Lightning or Luigi in charge, with Mr. Incredible and Spider-Man tightening the bolts. Magic Kingdom becomes a jewel operation with the Seven Dwarfs and a sly cash wash through comedy clubs, while Donald or Carousel John keep order in their own unforgettable ways.Things turn shadowy at Hollywood Studios where Scar, Darth Vader, and Loki bring enforcement and intrigue. Kermit offers a gentler alternate leadership style, backed by a toy box crew that improvises for the greater good. Epcot scales up with Figment's unpredictability or Scrooge's iron ledger, calling in Remy, Baymax, Elsa, the Three Caballeros, the Phoenicians, and even Patrick Warburton's legendary Soarin' voice for intimidation by tone alone. Animal Kingdom closes strong with Judy Hopps' discipline, Mufasa's authority, and the Madrigal family's specialized “import/export” skill set.Beyond the laughs, there's a real takeaway on leadership and systems: the right roles, trusted lieutenants, and a balance of force and finesse can run any kingdom—imagined or real. Pour a glass, press play, and then tell us who your Disney underboss would be.Enjoyed the ride? Follow the show, leave a review, and share this episode with a Disney fan who loves a clever twist.

On this episode of Remy's Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast, we are taking a stroll down Main Street, U.S.A., to the corner where the smell of fresh hot dogs meets the unmistakable sound of ragtime rhythms. Your host, Remy, sits down for an in-depth conversation with the incredibly talented Jerimie Michael, a man who has become a staple of the Magic Kingdom atmosphere. Since 2018, Jerimie has been manning the keys at Casey's Corner, entertaining thousands of guests with his lightning-fast fingers and infectious energy. In this sit-down, we go beyond the performance to learn about the man behind the upright piano and what it takes to perform in the busiest theme park in the world.The conversation hits a high note as Jerimie pulls back the curtain on his musical journey, sharing the personal stories of what first drew him to the piano. He opens up about his early inspirations and the iconic piano players who shaped his technique and passion for the instrument. From his childhood influences to the professional milestones that led him to a coveted spot on Main Street, Jerimie offers a unique look at the discipline and soul required to master the craft of live performance. Whether you are a fellow musician or just a fan of the Disney magic, hearing about his artistic evolution provides a brand-new appreciation for every note played outside the dugout.Of course, it wouldn't be a Florida theme park podcast without some "inside baseball" on the rest of the Walt Disney World Resort. Jerimie reveals why his heart belongs to the World Showcase during a specific time of year, naming the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts—affectionately known by fans as "FART"—as his absolute favorite event. We dive into why the fusion of visual, culinary, and performing arts resonates so deeply with him. This episode is a celebration of the talent that makes the parks feel like home, so pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and join us for this melodic journey through the life of a Magic Kingdom performer.

We're building our ultimate Walt Disney World meal — pulling our favorite picks from all across property to create one perfect dining experience. From the location and atmosphere to the drink, appetizer, entrée, and dessert, we're drafting the best bites Disney has to offer right now.We last did this episode awhile back, and let's just say… a lot has changed. Over the years, we've tried new restaurants, revisited longtime favorites, watched menus evolve, and had some strong opinions shift along the way. With all that dining under our belts, it felt like the perfect time to update our picks and see what still holds up — and what's earned a spot on the new list.To keep things interesting, we added a few ground rules: we can't choose the same item, we can't pick more than once from the same location, and we can pull individual items from family-style meals. The result is a fun, conversational episode filled with debate, nostalgia, cravings, and plenty of “almost picked this” moments.This isn't about naming the “best” restaurant at Walt Disney World — it's about what we actually crave, what we go back to time and time again, and what makes a meal feel memorable. If you've ever thought about what your perfect Disney meal would look like, this episode is guaranteed to get you hungry and spark a few ideas of your own.

I worked at Disney at one of my first side hustles when I was a teacher. All over the Disney properties, there are hidden doors, secret hallways, and restricted areas —places only cast members could access. And did you know that The Magic Kingdom has an entire underground world—for real--complete with a bank, post office, restaurants, and shops—all available exclusively to cast members.And recently, it clicked. Kingdom Revelation!When I relaunched my business in the fall, I shared that I help Christians “build a business and the Kingdom.” But God gently corrected me and led me to deeper study of The Kingdom.Girl, The Kingdom is already built.It's not something we construct—it's something we discover.As a beloved daughter, YOU have access to the special hidden places of God's Kingdom. It's in you and among you! Jesus said in Luke 17:21 "They can't say, ‘Here it is!' or ‘There it is!' You see, the kingdom of God is within you.”The Kingdom is here.The Kingdom is now.The Kingdom is YOU!It is up to us to discover it. Welcome to Kingdom living, sis.If you want to learn more about 1:1 coaching, DM me on Instagram.And if you want to join our 40 day journey in the Identity Upgrade, click here.

Bonjour! In a very special (and very long-awaited) episode of Disniversity, film journalist Ben Travis and animation academic Sam Summers take a closer look at one of the cornerstones of Disney's businesses and creative experiments: the theme parks.

The story goes that some years ago a cartoonist named Walt Disney - maybe you've heard of him - well, he went with his children to an amusement park, and he was disgusted! The park was covered with litter, bathrooms were filthy. And that day Walt Disney made up his mind that the park he wanted to build someday would always be clean. If you've ever been to Disneyland or to Disney World, you know Walt Disney got his way. You know how they keep it that way? As soon as a cup or a wrapper drops, it seems like there's someone there to pick it up. They keep big messes from happening by quickly cleaning up every small one. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Don't Let a Mess Get Started." Now, our word for today from the Word of God, it's from Ephesians 4:26-27. I guess we could call it God's clean-up plan. "In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the Devil a foothold." Now, here's an interesting passage that leads into the next chapter, Ephesians 5, and it's about Christian marriage among other things. And I think that's appropriate, because well, you've got a wonderful blueprint here for keeping big messes out of your marriage. He basically says, "Don't go to bed mad." I think this ought to be over every married couple's bed maybe, "Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry" because that gives the Devil a place to stand; a little foothold that can start to erode a relationship. Follow the Disney method for avoiding big messes. Don't let a mess get started. Many marital disintegrations can be traced to some hurt or issue that once was pretty small. It could have been dealt with easily then, but it wasn't, and layers and layers have accumulated over that now. There's scar tissue, there's hardness, there's bitterness and there's resentment. If only it had been dealt with before the sun went down. You know why we don't do that? Oh, a husband's too busy. He says, "Well, I can't deal with this little thing right now; it's too small an issue." Get it while it's small. Or maybe the wife's too busy herself, or she's too protective and she says, "Well, the poor guy. He's got so much on his mind, I don't want to bother him" and so it gets buried. But like toxic waste, it's not going to go away. It's going to keep radiating poison, and one day it will be a critically deadly poison. Conflict, hurt, and misunderstanding? They have to be dealt with on a 24-hour basis. Otherwise, there's a build up, and one day an avalanche that buries everyone. It's a whole lot better to deal with a snowball than an avalanche. That issue - the frustration - will never be smaller than it is today; it's only going to grow. The Bible says in Hebrews 12:15, "See to it that no one misses the grace of God. Do not let any bitter root grow up among you. It will cause trouble; it will defile many." I think that might include the kids who get the radiation from the toxic waste that's been buried. So look, don't let another day go by without beginning to deal with the issue. And if you have to get help from an outside person, do it. But deal with it. You can be close in your marriage. You can stay close till death do you part if you'll pick up the little mess - the first wrapper that drops. It works for Disney World, and it works for the Magic Kingdom of marriage. Just don't let a mess get started.

We're sharing our full review of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, one of our favorite and most creative festivals of the year. Running from January 16 through February 23, 2026, this festival blends food, visual art, and live entertainment in a way only EPCOT can — and we're breaking down everything you need to know before you go.We start with the basics, including when to visit, how long to plan for, and why this is one festival that truly benefits from multiple days. We also share practical tips like where to stay for easy access (hello, BoardWalk and Skyliner resorts), why weekends can be especially crowded, and how being comfortable, budgeting ahead, and sharing dishes can seriously improve your experience.From there, we dive into the heart of the festival — the visual art and galleries, interactive elements, and live entertainment offerings. We talk about the Once Upon a Stage: The Magic of Disney on Broadway exhibit and the Disney on Broadway Concert Series at the America Gardens Theatre, featuring show-stopping performances and Broadway talent like Adam Jacobs and Isabelle McCalla.Of course, no Festival of the Arts review would be complete without food. We cover the food studios, festival merchandise, and the always-fun Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine, including how it works, whether it's worth doing, and tips for completing it at your own pace.If you're wondering whether Festival of the Arts is worth a dedicated visit — or how to tackle it the right way — this episode has you covered.
