Which OG will take the top spot? Tune in to find out!

We head to Magic Kingdom for a night of spooky fun at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2025! This is one of our favorite events of the year, and this season felt bigger, brighter, and somehow even more magical than before. From the moment we stepped through the fog and heard that “Boo to You” parade music drifting down Main Street, we knew we were in for a night packed with tricks, treats, and a whole lot of fun.But first, we tried the return of Salt & Straw's Tacolate (yes, a chocolate taco filled with cinnamon-ancho ice cream!) and every spooky limited time treat from Everglazed, including the Nutella Boston Scream, Haunted Hour, and Spooky Tombstone, and we even grabbed the limited-edition Chai Sugar Showgirl Cupcake from Sprinkles — a Taylor-inspired treat that might just steal the show.Then on to MNSSHP, where we break down everything you need to know before heading to the party yourself — from ticket details and arrival times to the best tips to help you make the most of your evening. We share when to grab your wristbands, how to beat the candy lines, and which characters you'll want to prioritize early before their queues fill up. And of course, we talk all about the incredible entertainment lineup — from the Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks hosted by Jack Skellington, to the Boo-To-You Parade (complete with the Headless Horseman), and the always entertaining Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular with the Sanderson Sisters.We also talk costume comfort tips (Florida heat, anyone?), and give our best advice for making the most of those precious five hours of Halloween magic. Grab your candy bag and your Mickey ears — it's time to Boo-to-You right along with us!

We talked all about how they pick a theme, plan and design the décor, send out invites, and put together food and drinks — all while keeping everything budget-friendly.If you're looking for inspiration for your own Halloween bash, curious about the behind-the-scenes planning, or just love hearing creative traditions, this episode is packed with tips, tricks, and festive fun.So grab your pumpkin spice latte, light a candle, and enjoy this throwback conversation with James and Shannon.
Disney parks are famous for their immersive lands—from dining inside Beast's Castle in Fantasyland to soaring on the back of a Banshee in Pandora. Each land transports you to a completely different world.
Curious about what lies beneath the Magic Kingdom? Want to dive into Epcot's massive aquarium or trek across rope bridges over crocodiles? In this comprehensive exploration of Disney World tours, we take you beyond the standard theme park experience to discover exclusive behind-the-scenes adventures that most visitors never see.Disney World's expansive footprint allows for an impressive array of specialized tours across its parks and resorts. From the affordable Behind the Seeds agricultural tour at Epcot ($39) to the breathtaking Wild Africa Trek at Animal Kingdom ($219), there's something for every interest and budget. The hosts break down each tour's unique features, costs, and restrictions, helping you determine which might be worth adding to your next Disney vacation.The conversation highlights particularly exceptional experiences like the Keys to the Kingdom tour, where guests can explore the famous underground Utilidor tunnels that allow cast members to move unseen throughout the park. For animal lovers, multiple safari experiences offer unprecedented close encounters with elephants, rhinos, and other exotic wildlife. Adventure seekers might prefer the Segway tour through Fort Wilderness or the nighttime Starlight Safari using night vision equipment.What makes these tours special isn't just access to restricted areas, but the depth of knowledge shared by Disney's expert guides. Many tours include exclusive dining experiences, professional photography, and unique vantage points impossible to access during a regular park visit. While these premium experiences come with additional costs beyond standard park admission, they create unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for Disney's attention to detail and commitment to conservation, innovation, and storytelling.Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned Disney enthusiast looking to discover something new, these specialized tours offer a fresh perspective on the parks you thought you knew. Tour offerings change frequently, so be sure to check current availability when planning your next Disney World adventure.Have you experienced any of these tours? Which would you choose for your next Disney vacation?

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.

From the Vault - The Mousedebaters talk Presidential Candidates It's election season in the Magic Kingdom, and your favorite Mousedebaters are hitting the campaign trail. Who's got what it takes to become the first Disney President?We're drafting a dream ballot of Disney candidates—from Scrooge McDuck promising a balanced budget (and a vault full of gold coins) to Kuzco bringing sass to the State of the Union. Elsa's running on an “ice powers, cool heads” platform, Milo Thatch is ready to lead a golden age of diplomacy, and Duchess might just charm her way through the UN.Expect fiery debates, shady campaign ads, and way too many questionable slogans as we break down the Fab 5, Current Rulers, Obscure Candidates, and “He'd definitely win but shouldn't” nominees. By the end, we'll crown the ultimate Disney Commander-in-Chief—and let's just say, the race is weirder than you think.As always, it's PG-13 Disney nonsense for grown-up ears only.

We head over to ‘Ohana for the classic all-you-care-to-enjoy dinner experience with our thoughts on wings, dumplings, noodles, and the beloved bread pudding. Finally, we sit down for lunch at Tiffins, sampling coconut-ube cauliflower soup, lobster mac and cheese, and their signature burger—plus the new to us Roasted Street Corn Tres Leches dessert.It's a jam-packed episode full of updates, laughs, and food worth planning your next trip around.
Please put on your headphones to fully immerse yourself in another one of my Walt Disney World memories. You will feel as if you are in the Magic Kingdom with us as we wrap our day, walk down Main Street USA, exit the park, and take the Ferry back to the TTC to complete our day.

We dive into our very first stay at the stunning Island Tower at Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows. This brand-new addition to one of Walt Disney World's most iconic resorts officially opened its doors on December 17, 2024. With modern Polynesian design, Moana-inspired touches, and some of the most unique room types on property (hello, Duo Studios!), this tower brings a fresh new vibe while still honoring the spirit of the original Poly.We break down everything from room categories and layouts to what views are worth the splurge, including Theme Park Views that let you watch Magic Kingdom fireworks right from your balcony. We share our thoughts on the brand-new Cove Pool and Moana's Voyage splash area, and explore the exclusive terrace gardens on each floor.Plus, we talk logistics: walking to the TTC, transportation options, how to score the best rates, and our favorite “pro tips” for making the most of your stay. This episode is your complete guide to Disney's newest deluxe resort experience.
