Podcasts about Magic Kingdom

We're putting Disney's Old Key West Resort head-to-head with Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa to see which laid-back villa resort comes out on top.Both resorts offer spacious accommodations, boat access to Disney Springs, and a slower, more relaxed pace than your typical theme park hotel—but they go about it in very different ways. Old Key West brings Florida Keys charm, oversized villas, and that “this feels like home” energy that longtime DVC fans love. Saratoga Springs counters with elegant Victorian theming, newer-feeling rooms, Treehouse Villas, and one of the best locations for easy Disney Springs access.We break things down round by round, comparing theming and atmosphere, room size and comfort, dining options, transportation and walkability, recreation and amenities, and overall value for your vacation dollars or DVC points. As always, we leave the final decision open during the episode so you can play along at home and decide which resort deserves the crown. Is bigger always better? Does location beat nostalgia? And which one truly delivers the best Disney resort experience?Grab your scorecard, settle in, and let the Resort Wars begin.

I'm joined by my friend Sean from But Mostly Disney, and we're putting Walt Disney World's wait times officially on trial. Using real guest data — including polls, reviews, ratings, historic wait times from Thrill Data, and actual ride length — we break down the top fifteen Walt Disney World attractions to answer the question every Disney fan has asked while standing in a long line: is this ride actually worth the wait?This isn't just a list of the longest lines or the most popular rides. We dig into the numbers behind each attraction, compare average and peak wait times, and then stack that data up against what really matters — the experience. From immersion and theming to thrills, pacing, re-ride value, and emotional payoff, we look at what each ride gives back once you finally step off.Along the way, we debate if nostalgia earns certain attractions a little extra grace, and whether short, one-and-done rides can ever justify 90+ minute waits. We also talk about queue theming, first-time riders versus annual passholders, and which attractions hold up ride after ride — and which ones might be living off reputation alone.Expect strong opinions, friendly discussion, and plenty of “I can't believe this wait” moments as we break it all down.

http://www.attractionchecklist.com -   Do you believe that elephants can fly?  Well you will.  Because today we head to Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World to ride the Dumbo the flying elephant attraction on this episode of Attraction Checklist. Attraction audio recorded on May 21, 2025. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode we're off to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom to ride Dumbo the Flying Elephant. The Walt Disney World website describes this attraction saying: Soar high in the sky-and see an elephant fly-on a whimsical flight aboard Dumbo. There are no age or height requirements or a thrill level listed for this attraction. Before we grab our magic feathers and soar to the skies, here are five fast facts about Dumbo the Flying Elephant at Magic Kingdom. 1. Dumbo the Flying Elephant was a Magic Kingdom opening day attraction, opening with the park on October 1, 1971 2. When the attraction originally opened, there were only 10 elephant ride vehicles.  6 more were added in 1993, when the attraction got a completely new ride mechanism. 3.  On opening day in 1971, the attraction was missing two important elements.  First, Timothy the Mouse was not in his position atop the 'disco ball' on the center spire of the attraction, and the elephant ride vehicles weren't wearing hats!  The ride vehicles were updated shortly after opening and Timothy made his debut in 1972. 4. In 2011, Fantasyland went under construction and as part of it, the Dumbo attraction was relocated and updated with a entire second carousel and an interactive queue. 5. The second carousel was build to spin clockwise from the original version.   The attraction audio recorded for this episode is available exclusively to the Saturday Morning Media Patron Patron.  Support the show and get fun Bonus content over at http://www.patreon.com/saturdaymorningmedia Episode edited by Stephen Staver FOLLOW US https://www.instagram.com/attractionchecklist/ https://www.facebook.com/attractionchecklist https://www.linkedin.com/company/saturday-morning-media http://www.youtube.com/user/SaturdayMorningMedia?sub_confirmation=1 FOLLOW GRANT http://www.MrGrant.com https://instagram.com/throwingtoasters/ SOURCES: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attractions/magic-kingdom/dumbo-the-flying-elephant/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumbo_the_Flying_Elephant Show ©2026 Saturday Morning Media/Grant Baciocco

Spending New Year's Eve inside a Disney World theme park sounds like the ultimate “most magical place on Earth” flex - until you remember you're doing it shoulder-to-shoulder with what feels like the population of a small nation. This week in the Court of the Disney World Resort, Len Testa argues the case for the marathon day, the once-a-year entertainment, and that surreal moment when Adventureland is blasting pop music. Chris Cox counters with big-city New Year's trauma, crowd math, and the simple question of whether there's a way to enjoy the fireworks without living inside a human corral for four hours. What does Judge Jim Hill have to say? HIGHLIGHTS • The reality of Disney World on New Year's Eve - a 18-20 hour endurance event with lines for rides, food, bathrooms, and basically oxygen • Why rope-dropping on December 31 can feel weirdly peaceful - and why nobody leaves once the park hits peak capacity • The perks that actually are special: party props, unique entertainment, and a midnight fireworks show with countdown-style pyro (plus perimeter fireworks) • The “cheat code” option - watching the full dress rehearsal fireworks on December 30 from Bay Lake Tower (or another Magic Kingdom-area resort) HOSTS • Jim Hill - IG: @JimHillMedia | X: @JimHillMedia | Website: JimHillMedia.com • Len Testa - IG: @len.testa | Website: TouringPlans.com • Chris Cox - IG: @magiccox | X: @bigcox | Website: MagicCox.com FOLLOW • Facebook: JimHillMediaNews • Instagram: JimHillMedia • TikTok: JimHillMedia SUPPORT Support the show and access bonus episodes and additional content at Patreon.com/JimHillMedia.

What if Disney let fans design the next big expansion at Walt Disney World?

We're diving into Disney behaviors that should absolutely be socially accepted everywhere, because somehow the parks figured out how humans actually want to function… and then we all had to go back home. From skipping lines like a pro to paying for everything with your wrist, Disney has quietly raised our expectations for daily life — and we're not mad about it.We're counting down our favorite habits, systems, and quirks that feel perfectly normal inside the Disney bubble but earn you very strange looks anywhere else. Things like Lightning Lanes for everyday errands, posted wait times for places that desperately need them (looking at you, DMV), mobile ordering everything, and treating Cast Members — aka employees — like the absolute legends they are.We'll also talk about why these ideas actually make sense, how they could lower stress, save time, and maybe even make people a little nicer to each other. Shocking concept, right? This episode is lighthearted, relatable, and guaranteed to have you saying, “Why don't we do it this way?”No trip planning, no ride rankings — just a fun, slightly chaotic look at how Disney logic might secretly be the blueprint for a better real world. And yes… Lightning Lanes is our hill to die on.

With 2026 just around the corner, now is the perfect time to discover all of the ways Walt Disney World rings in the New Year! Although some of Walt Disney World's most charming New Year traditions are in its past (R.I.P. Pleasure Island!), there are still a variety of enchanting ways to kick a new year off in style across the resort. Whether you've considered braving the crowds at Magic Kingdom or dancing the night away at EPCOT, you'll want to hear all about the magical celebrations hosted at the parks and even at some WDW resorts.Listen along and join the Dis-cussion on social media @neverlandnavco

We're breaking down our full experience using the Candlelight Processional dining package at Garden Grill Restaurant, capped off with an unforgettable performance narrated by Gary Sinise.We walk you step-by-step through how the dining package works, what's included with the prix-fixe meal, and why Garden Grill continues to be one of the better overall choices when it comes to Candlelight dining packages.

We also dive into what makes Gary Sinise such a powerful and emotional narrator, and why his performances consistently rank among the most talked-about each year.Whether you're visiting EPCOT during the Festival of the Holidays, trying to decide between standby and a dining package, or simply want a more relaxed way to experience Candlelight, this episode will help you decide if this is the right option for your trip.Grab a cozy drink, settle in, and let's talk food, holiday traditions, and one of EPCOT's most meaningful seasonal experiences.

Hey there, and a very merry Saturday to you! This is your Disney News for Saturday, December 20th, 2025. - Hong Kong Disneyland begins a dazzling holiday celebration with a festive parade and Santa visit, featuring holiday treats and shows. - Walt Disney World opens the Tron Lightcycle Power Run in Magic Kingdom, offering a thrilling and immersive roller coaster experience. - Disney+ announces a new documentary on the legacy of Disney Imagineering, exploring behind-the-scenes creativity and innovation. - Tokyo Disneyland hosts a New Year's Eve event with extended hours and a fireworks show to welcome 2026, featuring live performances and Disney characters. Have a magical day and tune in again tomorrow for more updates.

This episode is a little different — because it was recorded live, unfiltered, and full of holiday chaos. No edits, no do-overs, just festive fun with the Main Street Magic community from start to finish.We kick things off by catching up and diving straight into Would You Rather: Disney Holiday Edition, letting the live chat decide between some tough holiday-themed Disney choices. From there, things get even more festive as we set the stage for a very special guest appearance.Santa himself joins the show live (with Rhonda holding down the Lounge), where he takes on Naughty or Nice: Disney Edition, judges questionable park behavior, and answers listener questions in real time. It's unpredictable, hilarious, and exactly the kind of chaos you can only get when you go live.After Santa heads back to the North Pole and Jeremy returns, we wrap things up with Eat It or Beat It: Holiday Edition, breaking down holiday dishes from around the world and letting the audience vote on what they'd actually eat.This episode is pure Main Street Lounge — festive, interactive, a little messy, and completely uncut. Pour yourself something cozy and enjoy the holiday magic.

The early alarms, the corrals, the castle, the finish line glow—Marathon Weekend is closer than it feels, and we're tackling the questions you're actually asking. We dig into the big simulation week and why it's more about patience than pace, then talk taper calm and how to internalize race pace without burning yourself out. From there, we zoom into the choices that matter: smart carb loading at Disney (yes, fries can be part of a plan), when a hydration vest helps, and how to keep your hands, feet, and head warm with simple gear that won't slow you down.We map spectator routes that work for early birds and back-of-packers—TTC for easy mid-race cheers and a monorail return to EPCOT for the finish—plus a cheer squad meetup near Coronado Springs around Mile 20–21 for that late-race lift. Sleep still tricky? We share practical routines, layered alarms, and low-stress morning timelines that get you to security, a character photo, and your corral without rushing. We also break down shoe rotation for challenges and the one rule we never break: nothing new on race day.Course talk stays honest: which Magic Kingdom approach feels better, why Cone Alley relief matters, and how to segment the marathon into bite-size goals that carry you through the hard miles. If the wall shows up, tuck into a Galloway pace group or lean on the runners beside you; conversation, music, and simple countdowns can turn a tough patch into forward motion. We wrap with a race report full of cold PRs, muddy finishes, and a spotlight on Rocket City's hat trick challenge, proving again how community turns big goals into finish-line moments. If this is your first 5K or your seventh start at 26.2, there's a plan here to make race day feel doable.Subscribe, share with a friend gearing up for Marathon Weekend, and tell us your best cold-weather or spectating tip in a review—we'll feature our favorites on a future episode.Send us a textSupport the showRise and Run Podcast is supported by our audience.

We're back and diving headfirst into the whirlwind that was our Thanksgiving weekend—because what better way to jump back in than with a little chaos, a little sparkle, and a whole lot of Disney?We kick things off at Disney Springs with a quick update on the brand-new Disney Drop Shop, a permanent addition to the Marketplace Co-Op that's basically a treasure chest for collectors. Blind boxes, Cosbi figures, Pop Mart surprises… if it's tiny, adorable, and dangerously addictive, it's probably in this shop.From there, we slide over to STK Orlando for a lunch that… well… didn't exactly steal our hearts. We break down what we ordered—from the Filet Sandwich and Wagyu Burger to the towering Parmesan Truffle Fries—and talk about why this meal left us scratching our heads more than licking our fingers.Then it's time to trade “meh” for “merry” as we step into the glitz and glow of Disney's Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios. We cover everything from early entry strategy to the incredible entertainment lineup, including Disney Holidays in Hollywood, the Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along, and the stunning Glisten! ice-skating show. We explore special themed areas like Holiday Fiesta en la Calle, the Pixar Disco, and the always-fabulous Tip-Top Club, plus rare character sightings like Partysaurus Rex and Bing Bong!With festive snacks, low wait times on major attractions, and a party atmosphere that blends retro glam with Disney whimsy, Jollywood Nights truly shines.Join us as we recap the highs, lows, laughs, and magic of a very busy holiday weekend.
