Podcasts about Magic Kingdom

We wrap up this round of our Listener Q&A series from our Main Street Magic Mailbag!This episode is packed with your questions from Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, covering everything from practical Disney planning tips to fun “what if” scenarios. We tackle whether the luggage service at Value Resorts for Southwest Airlines might hint at the return of something like Disney's Magical Express, and share our thoughts on the biggest price gouges at Walt Disney World (looking at you, $199 Minnie Van airport rides).We imagine what Villains Land rides could look like, guess how many gallons of ice cream we've consumed in the parks, and share our top three favorite quick-service spots. We also explore underrated Disney experiences, ways to improve multi-generational trips, and even the quirks of bus stop numbering across the parks.From reimagining entire lands and moving them between parks, to the best age for bringing a baby to Disney, to helping first-time EPCOT guests get the most out of Festival of the Arts — we've got it all. Plus, we share advice for planning big family trips, budgeting, and whether Disney could pull off a Halloween Horror Nights–style event.Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned Disney veteran, this episode delivers insider tips, imaginative ideas, and plenty of Disney fun straight from our listeners.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week, Disney announced plans to merger Hulu and Disney+.  We discuss why this is a big win for Disney fans.  Plus we got our first look at the offerings for the new Beak and Barrel lounge coming to Magic Kingdom. Walt Disney was a visionary who was constantly looking for ways to entertain people in new and innovative ways. And he built that vision and drive right into the DNA of the Disney Company. So with 100 years of history under its belt, the Company had to create a few groundbreaking inventions, right? Well today, we're counting down the top 5 inventions that came out of Disney that completely changed the course of history. From changing the movie going experience to forever solidifying the theme park industry, these inventions have become engrained in our culture. Let us know what your pick for the top invention is.

Spoiler: we're all in.Over on X (Twitter), things get delightfully random — like which Disney character is most likely to have a PR meltdown Coldplay-style, what we'd grab in a $500 LEGO Store shopping spree, and what hobby might take over our lives if Disney disappeared tomorrow (gasp!).Tune in for answers, shoutouts, and a lot of fun — and stay tuned for more ways to send in your questions for future episodes!

Oh — and we've got a whole commandment devoted to not judging grown-ups who still love Disney, thank you very much.Plus, we'll remind you of the ultimate rule: Be kind to Cast Members. They are the real magic.Whether you're a first-time visitor or a Disney pro, these tips, tricks, and truths will make your next trip smoother, kinder, and just a little more magical.

Halloween has officially arrived at Walt Disney World, and this year's celebrations are bigger than ever. From festive park decorations to must-have merchandise and major entertainment news, there's something for every Disney fan to enjoy. And in the business world, Disney Q3 Earnings 2025 showcased box office milestones and significant media moves. Halloween Decorations Transform Walt Disney World Pumpkins, autumn garlands, and spooky touches now adorn Main Street, U.S.A., signaling the start of the Halloween season at Walt Disney World. Guests can explore elaborately themed displays, from the Magic Kingdom's iconic Mickey pumpkin wreaths to resort-specific fall décor. Alongside the seasonal magic, 2026 Disney calendars have landed in the parks, giving guests an early start on planning their next Disney adventures. Disney Collectibles: Zootopia Coins & 2026 Calendars A brand-new addition to Disney's “Better Together” series has arrived—collectible Zootopia coins.

The 2026 Disney calendars, now available across the resort, showcase stunning park photography and key celebration dates. Park Updates: Galactic Starcruiser Signs & Muppet Courtyard Changes The Galactic Starcruiser experience may have ended, but its legacy remains visible—or at least it did. Disney has begun removing road signage pointing to the now-closed experience. Over in Disney's Hollywood Studios, the Monsters, Inc. project is moving forward, starting with the removal of Stage 1 in Muppet Courtyard. Earnings Spotlight: Box Office Milestone & Major Media Deals Disney Q3 Earnings 2025 brought big news, including Lilo & Stitch crossing the $1 billion global box office mark. On the media front, ESPN announced landmark deals with the NFL and WWE, expanding coverage and cross-promotion opportunities. Disney also confirmed further integration of Disney+ and Hulu into a unified streaming experience, offering subscribers more content and convenience. Walt Disney World: ESPN 8 The Ocho Event While media deals dominated headlines, fans visiting the resort experienced ESPN 8: The Ocho live at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The event brought offbeat, high-energy competitions to Disney World, offering a unique sports experience for guests. Toy Story Popcorn Bucket & Passholder Magnet To celebrate the 30th anniversary re-release of Toy Story, a new popcorn bucket featuring Woody and Buzz Lightyear has debuted. Annual Passholders can also pick up a brand-new magnet design, adding to their exclusive collection of perks. Entertainment: Freakier Friday & Star Wars 50th Anniversary Disney's Freakier Friday has officially hit theaters, offering a fresh twist on the beloved body-swap comedy. And for Star Wars fans, April 2027 will mark the return of Star Wars: A New Hope to theaters in honor of its 50th anniversary, timed perfectly with Star Wars Day. Special Events: Muppet 12K of Christmas & Beak and Barrel Opening RunDisney fans can look forward to the Muppet 12K of Christmas virtual race, complete with themed medals and merchandise. Over at the Magic Kingdom, the much-anticipated Beak and Barrel restaurant now has an official opening date, adding another dining option for parkgoers. From billion-dollar box office success to Zootopia collectibles and new dining experiences, Disney Q3 Earnings 2025 prove there's never a dull moment at Walt Disney World.

Send us a textCalling all military Disney fans! We're taking you on a special journey to Shades of Green, Walt Disney World's exclusive military resort that offers incredible value and luxury accommodations for active duty, retired, and disabled veterans. Nestled near the Polynesian Resort, this hidden gem provides standard rooms starting at just $179 per night while delivering all the perks of a deluxe Disney property.As we explore the unique benefits of Shades of Green, including early park entry, personalized transportation, and family suites that sleep up to ten guests, we can't help but let our imaginations run wild. What would happen if iconic military movie characters visited Disney World? How would they experience the magic?From the disciplined Admiral Nimitz maintaining military precision while rope-dropping Magic Kingdom to Colonel Jessup from "A Few Good Men" attempting to commandeer the Jungle Cruise, we create hilarious scenarios for characters from each branch of service. Picture Captain Willard from "Apocalypse Now" narrating his way through Small World like a haunting mission, or the astronauts from "The Right Stuff" setting records on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run before driving their Corvettes in formation to the next park.Our comedic journey through fictional military personnel experiencing Disney reminds us of the company's long-standing commitment to service members. Whether it's Gomer Pyle getting evacuated from every ride or Coast Guard Captain Billy Tyne critiquing the currents on Jungle Cruise, these imaginary scenarios highlight the unique perspectives military personnel bring to vacation experiences.If you've ever wondered about Disney's military accommodations or simply want to laugh at the thought of Full Metal Jacket's Joker contemplating the "duality of man" at Haunted Mansion, this episode delivers both practical information and creative entertainment. Join us for this special tribute to the men and women who serve while celebrating Disney's dedication to making magic accessible to military families.Here's who we are and what is in store for you

How do you create magic? How do you create an immersive world of fantasy and wonderment that will transport Guests to landscapes and environments straight out of a dream? As we take in the splendor of the new Disney Starlight parade at the Magic Kingdom, it got us to thinking about one of the most important tools in the Imagineers' bag of tricks. Something that we usually take for granted, but one that can make all the difference when creating a magical fantasy world. So, sit back, relax, and join us explore our favorite uses of light at Walt Disney World!

We recorded a full “live dining” review right from our table — and let's just say The Edison gave us plenty to talk about (and sweat over).This wasn't your average restaurant recap. We hit record at the table and let the conversation flow — capturing our unfiltered reactions, food-fueled tangents, and, yes, even the spice-induced meltdowns in real time. From the second our zero-proof drinks arrived, we were in review mode, starting with the Heart & Soul and LZP mocktails — both creative, refreshing, and worthy of sipping slowly.Then came the standout: the Maryland Blue Crab Dip. Hot, creamy, packed with flavor, and shockingly legit for being in Florida, this dish brought us straight back to Chesapeake Bay roots. The naan was warm and soft, the crab flavor spot-on, and the addition of a side of tortilla chips was the cherry on top (or the crunch on the bottom?).Finally, we tackled the Flavors of Florida Hot Honey High Voltage Chicken Sandwich — and it lived up to the voltage warning. Spicy, sweet, peppery, and surprisingly cohesive, it might not be for the faint of heart (or weak of tastebud), but it's a bold, fiery experience we won't forget.Would we do another live dining episode? Absolutely. Would we get that crab dip again? Without hesitation.

We're recapping a whirlwind Disney weekend filled with big thrills, bold flavors, and brand-new experiences across Walt Disney World. We kick things off at Magic Kingdom, where we got our first look at the brand-new Starlight Magic Parade. We'll share our honest thoughts on the floats, characters, music, and whether it lives up to the hype—or if it's just Main Street Electrical 2.0 with a new glow.Next, we head to EPCOT to dive into Test Track 3.0, the reimagining of the classic ride that now blends high-speed thrills with a touch of World of Motion nostalgia. Is it an upgrade, a downgrade, or just… different? We'll break it all down.Then it's time to eat—really well. We'll take you through our fine dining experience at Bourbon Steak, one of the top new steakhouses in Central Florida, tucked inside the Swan & Dolphin (Dolphin side) right on Disney property. And from white tablecloths to Yeti footprints, we shift gears with a quick review of our lunch at Yak & Yeti in Animal Kingdom.Of course, no trip is complete without snacks! We'll share what we grabbed from Sleepy Hollow and have some updates on the brand-new Wailulu Bar and Grill at the Polynesian Resort Tower—including zero-proof sips, sweet treats, and some surprisingly great finds. Come along for the ride!
