We're hitting record from some of Walt Disney World's most stunning deluxe resorts while answering a lightning round of listener-style questions all about the podcast, Disney, and beyond! From the first trip that made us truly fall in love with the parks to the spark that turned that passion into nearly 800 episodes, we're pulling back the curtain on the moments that shaped Main Street Magic.We'll share what episode felt like a milestone, our favorite collaborations, and even the bloopers that had us cracking up. We'll debate which Magic Kingdom resort we'd actually live in, which EPCOT pavilion we'd move into for a week, and the bold Disney hot takes we'll defend to the end. Plus, we dive into what recording inside an attraction might look like, the series we're excited to launch next, and where we'd host a dream live show.Along the way, we reflect on what we've learned about each other, which Universal land secretly rivals Disney, the snack that needs to be fired, and what hitting 800 episodes means to us. It's a mix of memories, milestones, and mayhem—recorded in the heart of deluxe Disney magic.
We're kicking off a brand-new series: Resort Wars — where Walt Disney World resorts go head-to-head, and only one can walk away with the crown! First up, it's a Value Resort throwdown between Disney's Pop Century and Disney's Art of Animation.Pop Century opened in 2003 and celebrates the nostalgia of the 1950s through the 1990s with larger-than-life icons and over 2,800 rooms. Meanwhile, Art of Animation debuted in 2012 with immersive theming from beloved Disney and Pixar films, offering standard Little Mermaid rooms and spacious family suites themed to Cars, The Lion King, and Finding Nemo.We pit these two fan favorites against each other across seven battle rounds — including theming & atmosphere, rooms & comfort, dining, transportation, recreation, overall value, and listener feedback. Who takes the win for pool bars and food courts? Which resort is more budget-friendly? And where will your family find the perfect blend of magic and convenience?Plus, we share results from our listener poll and highlight firsthand experiences and opinions from our amazing community to help settle the debate.Whether you're planning your next Disney vacation or just love a good Disney debate, this episode is packed with insight, tips, and a few laughs along the way. So grab your tie-dye cheesecake or swing by the Big Blue Pool — it's time to battle it out in Resort Wars: Pop Century vs. Art of Animation!

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.
We're opening up the Main Street Magic Mailbag once again and answering your burning questions straight from Instagram! From quirky pre-trip routines and our most-anticipated Disney Destiny cruise spots, to what attractions we'd scrap, revamp, or ride all day long, no topic is off-limits. We chat about the future of Universal content on the show, whether to Park Hop or stick to one park per day, and what it would be like to spend 24 hours as a Disney character.You'll hear our thoughts on which park additions could take things to the next level, the fate of Discovery Island, and even what jobs our pets would have if they were human. Plus, we dive into VIP dreams, runDisney plans, and the one thing that caught us off guard when starting the podcast. We also share the new things we've learned about each other lately, our picks for upcoming movies and shows, and what themed land we'd add to Epic Universe. Whether it's Disney, Universal, or just a little bit of fun “would you rather,” this Q&A is packed with laughs, tips, and behind-the-scenes insights.

We're diving deep into the Main Street Magic Mailbag for our latest Listener Q&A session! You sent the questions — and we're answering them all with the usual mix of tips, laughs, and behind-the-scenes banter.From our Facebook community, we tackle everything from Disney resorts we've never stayed at (yes, there are still a few!) to which classic attractions we somehow haven't experienced. We chat about the possibility of a Main Street Magic Zero Proof Crawl & Meet-Up, compare Typhoon Lagoon vs. Blizzard Beach now that water park access is included with resort check-in, and reflect on the nostalgic Disney favorites that still hit us in the feels (even if our kids aren't on board).We also get personal — sharing how we met, which international Disney parks are on our bucket list, and brainstorming what a Disney-themed non-alcoholic bar would look like. 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!
We're diving into something every Disney guest needs… but no guidebook provides: the unwritten rules of Walt Disney World. These are the 10 Disney Commandments — the silent codes of theme park conduct that keep the magic flowing and the meltdowns to a minimum.We're talking about the things like why you should never stop smack in the middle of Main Street, how mobile order can save your sanity (and your stomach), and why blocking a fireworks view with your kid on your shoulders may earn you a serious side-eye.We'll cover food court table hoarding, stroller navigation, rope drop etiquette, and the all-important art of not walking four across like a human wall. 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. Tune in, laugh with us, and consider this your official guide to theme park harmony.

Hey Ohana, On this week's episode we're chatting about some of the many different things you can do outside the 4 main parks when visiting Disney World! If you had asked a just last year if we'd ever be planning days that did not involve at least a couple hours in one of the parks we'd have said not a chance...fast forward to our upcoming trip next week and we're actually starting our vacation with 3 full non-park days! With this being a brand new experience for us we've called upon the expert, Sue Passauer of MEI and Mouse Fan Travel to lend us a guiding hand in planning all the fun we can have outside the turnstiles. From water parks and gold, to shopping and dining, there is SO much to do! Thanks for tuning in and as always... See Ya Real Soon! A BIG THANK YOU to our friend and the official TA of MTADA< Sue Passauer! Be sure to reach out to Sue for all your vacation needs!

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!

We're throwing on our festive gear and stepping into the holiday spotlight to answer one big question—which Disney after-hours party is the best of the season? Is it the spooky fun of Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the cozy charm of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, or the retro glitz of Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios?We're going head-to-head-to-head as we break these parties down across multiple categories—everything from entertainment and character sightings to food, vibes, crowd levels, and overall value. We're each casting our votes in every round, sharing our thoughts (and probably disagreeing a few times), and by the end, we're crowning our pick for the top Disney holiday party of the year.If we're being honest, we know some of you are debating which one to attend—and some of you are just planning to hit all three. Either way, we've got you covered.So we're grabbing our trick-or-treat bag, our Santa hats, and maybe a sparkly blazer or two, and we're inviting you to join us for the ultimate festive face-off!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station
836 · Inside Imagineering: Zsolt Hormay on Sculpting Stories in Disney ParksDo you ever walk through the Disney Parks and say, "How did they do that?" or better yet, "WHO helped bring these incredible places and spaces to life?"I was recently invited into the hallowed halls of Walt Disney Imagineering to discover the answers to those questions, and will have a full recap of what (and who) I saw, as well as just some of Imagineering's legacy, people, and projects as I was taken behind the scenes into where Disney magic is made. And while I was there, I has the privilege of sitting down with Zsolt Hormay, Creative Executive at Walt Disney Imagineering and the sculptor behind some of Disney's most breathtaking environments – from the Tree of Life to Cars Land to the floating mountains of Pandora and Galaxy's Edge. I have known of him and admired his work for decades, so this was not only a special moment for me personally, but we had a wonderful, one-on-one conversation not just about his journey from Hungary to becoming a leading figure in theme park design, but how rockwork becomes storytelling, and the emotional and cultural depth behind the places and spaces he and his team create. From the Tree of Life to Fantasy Springs in Tokyo DisneySea, his work is quite literally etched into the parks we love.I also posted the entire video version on the WDW Radio YouTube channel, and will share even more about what I saw, experienced, and learned during my unforgettable visit to Imagineering on an upcoming podcast episode, so stay tuned!
I'm joined by a very special guest—my daughter Kailyn—as we recap a whirlwind Disney weekend full of sun, snacks, and some serious theme park hustle.Kailyn hadn't stepped foot in the 4 Walt Disney World parks since Thanksgiving of 2023—and before that, Christmas 2022. But rewind a bit further, and she was basically raised at Disney. As a longtime Annual Passholder, she spent years visiting once or twice a month with us, until both kids eventually hit that wall a lot of families know all too well: Disney burnout. So they let their passes go, took a step back… and just like that, a new chapter began.But this past weekend, we opened the book again. On Thursday, it was off to Typhoon Lagoon for a splash-filled day of water slides, waves, and lazy rivers. Then we cleaned up and headed to Disney Springs for shopping and dinner at Wailulu Bar & Grill. (Spoiler: we'll be talking about poke bowls, fish, and tattoos.)And then came Friday—a 16-hour park day that took us to EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom and packed in 20 attractions. We're talking thrill rides, strategy, food fuel, and some genuine moments of rediscovering the magic.You'll hear Kailyn's honest take on what it was like coming back after nearly two years away, how the parks felt different, and what moments reminded her why she used to love it in the first place.This is a special one for us—a dad-daughter Disney trip with laughs, nostalgia, and a whole lot of fun.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're taking you along on a whirlwind couple of days at Walt Disney World—complete with friends, food, drinks, and a few unexpected twists (including a surprise snake sighting near the Skyliner… yep, that happened).We kicked things off with snacks and sips at Bar Riva to see some Cast Member friends alongside our good friends Lucie and Caleb, and the fun just kept rolling from there. We did a little shopping in Pandora (yes, we bought rings), used an Individual Lightning Lane for Cosmic Rewind, and bounced around resorts chasing dinner plans from California Grill to Steakhouse 71 to Three Bridges—where we finally found our perfect Plan C, great food, and some awesome cast member interactions.We also squeezed in some magic at Magic Kingdom to ride Haunted Mansion, placed a special hat embroidery order, and spent a rainy afternoon at Disney Springs catching up, indulging in Salt & Straw, and hiding out at Jock Lindsey's. The trip wrapped up with poolside snacks at Siestas, an evening at Dahlia Lounge, and a final stop at Jeff's Bagels on the way home—because you know we weren't leaving without breakfast handled.It was a trip full of laughs, detours, and Disney magic, and we can't wait to share it with you.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're stepping outside the Disney bubble and heading deep into the heart of Texas for an unforgettable trip to Austin. That's right—we swapped MagicBands for cowboy boots and spent the weekend soaking up everything Austin has to offer, from mouthwatering food to meaningful moments.We're talking Michelin-starred barbecue brisket that melts in your mouth, spicy chicken from a food truck named Spicy Boys, an incredible cowgirl hat experience at Kendra Scott's Yellow Rose boutique, and a dive bar that turned out to be surprisingly sober-friendly. Plus, opening up about a powerful personal milestone—reaching 475 days of sobriety—and how a three-hour Blue October concert helped finally deliver the clarity.Whether it's floating in freezing cold Barton Springs, indulging in gourmet ice cream, or spotting a puppy in an Uber, this was a weekend filled with unexpected joy, emotional growth, and plenty of laughter. So if you're looking for an inspiring, delicious, and downright weird adventure beyond the theme parks, grab your hat (and maybe a churro for comfort) and come along for the ride!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're taking a delicious deep dive into the snack scene at Disney Springs to determine which treats are truly worth your time, money, and appetite. With so many tempting options, we're breaking them down by taste, value, portion size, and uniqueness to see which ones deserve a resounding “Eat it!” and which you may want to “Beat it!”We kick things off at Swirls on the Water with the DOLE Whip Flight—a $7.99 trio that serves up a sampler-sized portion of Disney's most iconic soft-serve in playful, unique swirls like banana and salted caramel or mint chocolate, all with fun toppings. Then we hit the heavyweight champion of cookies at Gideon's Bakehouse, where the limited-time White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookie clocks in at nearly half a pound and over 24 hours of prep time, offering rich flavor and chewy-crispy contrast.From there, it's on to Sprinkles for a fresh cupcake delivered from their famous ATM, and then we hop over to The Daily Poutine, where $10.49 gets you a hot, hearty portion of Canadian-style comfort food—fries, gravy, and cheddar curds that are perfect for sharing. Summer House offers up a gooey cookie bar that's just as pretty as it is tasty, while Chicken Guy delivers classic tenders with a sauce-sampling twist that brings the flavor (and a bit of Food Network flair).We wrap with Homecomin's beloved Momma's Mac and Cheese, Morimoto Asia's sticky-sweet spare ribs, Everglazed's pillowy doughnuts, and the wildly inventive small-batch ice creams from Salt & Straw—think strawberry balsamic or honey lavender atop a crisp waffle cone.Whether you're strolling the Springs for a quick bite or plotting a full-on snack crawl, this episode is your go-to guide for the tastiest (and most interesting) stops along the way.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're diving into an important and often overlooked topic—phobias and sensory sensitivities in the parks.With as many as 12.5% of adults and nearly 1 in 5 adolescents experiencing specific phobias in their lifetime, it's essential to help all guests feel confident and informed when planning their Disney experience. From fear of heights and darkness to anxiety in enclosed spaces or sensory-heavy environments, we're breaking down the rides and experiences that could be overwhelming—and what to do about it.We'll walk you through the attractions most likely to trigger phobias like claustrophobia, nyctophobia, and automatonophobia, and provide practical tools for navigating those challenges.We also include tips for using DAS (Disability Access Service), rider switch, and identifying quiet spaces throughout the parks when needed. Plus, we share a list of sensory-friendly alternatives so everyone in your party can find their magic, no matter their comfort level. Whether you're planning your first trip or helping someone else prepare, this episode is here to help you create a trip full of joy, confidence, and understanding.MEI-Travel – Expertise. Ease.

832 · Adventures by Disney Japan Recap: Takayama, Shirakawa-go, Tokyo & Kintsugi - Part 2 Every step through Japan tells a story - and this week, I want to share ours. From centuries-old villages to hidden antique shops, we went looking for adventure... and found something even more meaningful. Japan continues to unfold its magic in Part 2 of our Adventures by Disney to Japan recap, as we travel to the serene mountain town of Takayama, the timeless village of Shirakawa-go, and the vibrant heart of Tokyo. But beyond the destinations, it was the small, unexpected moments that truly defined the journey - the quiet ones, the funny ones, and the ones that took our breath away. From stumbling into a tucked-away backstreet antique shop, to mending broken pottery with gold, to the awkward bravery of stepping into your first onsen... this wasn't just a trip. It was an experience that changed us. It's about the connections we made, the lessons we learned, the memories we'll never forget - and the Adventures by Disney difference.

830 · Adventures by Disney Japan Recap: Stories & Highlights - Part 1 Japan is truly unlike anywhere else in the world.

Join me and some of the friends (who are really more like family) from our group as we reflect on our journey through Kyoto, Hiroshima, Takayama, Shirakawa-go, and Tokyo - and how this adventure changed us in ways we never expected. We'll share the beauty, the surprises, and the emotion of this remarkable experience - and explore not just what makes Japan so special, but why Adventures by Disney makes it unforgettable. And if you weren't able to join us on this trip... don't worry. Stay tuned for the announcement of our next very special WDW Radio adventure. I promise - you won't want to miss it.
