Hey Ohana, This week we've got a really fun episode as we're joined by our friend Sue Passauer and our new friend Lisa DiNotto Glassner where we chat about capturing those Disney scents we all know and love. We chat a little about how Disney utilizes scents and while that was originally intended to be the main topic of the episode, our conversation rather quickly and organically switched lanes to chatting about the amazing ways Lisa has been able to capture those scents for us to all bring home with her ever so popular Core Memory Candle line of candles, waxes, oils, and more. Our chat dives into everything from the famous Smellatizers to how Lisa chooses which scents she captures and everything in between. We can't wait to have her back on to chat about her other endeavor - capturing Disney through photos of our favorite place and her Thousand Circle Images! Be sure to check out all of Core Memories Candles products before the pop up shop closes at the end of the month by visiting Lisa's site at https://thousandcircles.com/collections/core-memory-candles If you're thinking of planning a visit to Disney, be sure to reach out to the official TA of Married to A Disney Addict, Sue Passauer! Sue's affiliated with MEI & Mouse Fan Travel and can help you every step of the way! Thanks for tuning in and as always...See Ya Real Soon!

We're recording poolside at Disney's brand-new tower at the Polynesian Village Resort to talk all about the best Disney staycation resorts across several categories. Most people think of Walt Disney World as a place where you have to be in the parks from sunrise to fireworks, but we believe some of the very best Disney vacations happen when you never even step foot inside a park.For us, a Disney staycation is all about slowing down, relaxing, and enjoying everything the resorts have to offer. These aren't just hotels — they're destinations on their own. We're talking pools that feel like mini waterparks, restaurants that rival anything in Orlando, lounges with unbeatable theming, and hidden corners where you can kick back and unwind. Each resort has its own atmosphere, and some truly transport you to another world.In this episode, we're breaking it all down across several categories — from best pools and dining to most relaxing resorts, family favorites, and even a few hidden gems that often get overlooked. Whether you're planning your very first no-parks Disney getaway or you just want to know which resorts we think make for the perfect staycation, we've got you covered.

We're diving into an epic Disney Resort showdown as two fan-favorite moderates go head-to-head: Caribbean Beach Resort vs. Coronado Springs Resort. It's a battle of beaches and bridges, towers and tropical villages, as we break down each resort across seven key categories to help you decide which one is right for your next Walt Disney World stay.First, we introduce both contenders. Caribbean Beach — Disney's very first moderate resort — brings that bright, beachy island energy, complete with a Skyliner hub, colorful villages, and family-friendly vibes. Meanwhile, Coronado Springs enters the ring with Spanish and Southwest-inspired architecture, top-notch dining, and the sleek, deluxe-style Gran Destino Tower, offering business-class comfort without the deluxe price tag.We go round by round through theming, rooms, dining, transportation, recreation, value, and even listener input, using your votes to help crown a winner. From rooftop tapas at Toledo to Sebastian's Bistro's coastal charm, and from the Dig Site pool to the Fuentes del Morro splash zone, both resorts bring serious perks to the table.So, which moderate resort comes out on top? Tune in as we weigh the magic, the convenience, and the cost to settle the debate once and for all.

Join me and my special guest, Cory Clubb, the co-creator of Coffee With Kenobi, as I begin the first of many Star Wars fan spotlight shows. On the inaugural episode, Cory shares his journey into fandom, his thoughts on the evolution of Star Wars over the years, and so much more. It is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Hey Ohana, On this week's episode we share all the details of our recent visit to WDW, and boy was there a lot (hence the 1.5+ hour runtime lol). We share all about our planning process, traveling down, the hotels we stayed out, the food we ate, what we did each day (both in and OUT of the parks) and much more! And we're joined by the one and only LINCOLN for this one too! We love hearing about peoples trips and sharing about ours.

We're taking you on a flavorful adventure across Walt Disney World with three unique stops that deliver everything from hidden menu gems to over-the-top themed cocktails. We start at Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom, where we try the Enchanted Orange Dream — a refreshing, citrusy twist on DOLE Whip served with a playful candy rim. We also indulge in their off-menu Brazilian cheese bread (trust us, it's worth asking for), as well as two standout entrées: the Mess Hall Duck Fried Rice and the Nile Nellie's Noodle Bowl.Next, we head over to Disney Springs and drop into Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar for a mix of spooky snacks and creative concoctions. From deviled “zombie” eggs and mummy-wrapped sausages to the vibrant Cauldron Cooler and the nonalcoholic Snake Egg Surprise, this spot blends Indiana Jones-style theming with Halloween-ready flavor.Finally, we wrap things up at Beak & Barrel, the brand-new pirate lounge tucked into Adventureland at Magic Kingdom. With its moody décor, shareable plates, and immersive drinks served in skull mugs and topped with gold, it's already one of the most exciting new dining additions in the parks. Grab your appetite and join us!

We're taking you with us on a flavorful trip around the world — as we break down everything you need to know about the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, running August 28 through November 22.We share our top festival tips, from where to stay and how to pace yourself, to why sharing is not only caring — it's strategic. We talk budget hacks, gift card wristlets, and why weekends might not be your best bet.Then we dig into the Global Marketplaces, covering every single booth — the good, the bad, and the “seriously, who approved that recipe?” You'll hear which dishes blew us away, which ones missed the mark, and what you have to try before the festival ends.Plus, we chat Eat to the Beat concerts, scavenger hunts like Remy's Hide & Squeak and Pluto's Pumpkin Pursuit, and those extra little surprises that make Food & Wine more than just a snack crawl.So grab your festival passport and come hungry — because we're not holding back.

The biggest Disney fan event of the year, D23's Destination D23 2025, delivered history and heritage, stories and surprises, parks and people, performances and passion. Over three unforgettable days at Walt Disney World, Disney fans came together to celebrate the past, present, and future of the magic we love.This week on WDW Radio, we recap the 23 biggest takeaways from Destination D23 2025 - from emotional tributes to bold Disney Parks announcements, hidden details to historic reveals - and even (what I think is) one big surprise hiding in plain sight that no one is talking about, but I believe is a sign of what's to come.More than just news, we will explore what these moments mean for the future of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Disney Plus, Pixar, and Marvel - and for the incredible community of fans around the world.✨ What was your favorite announcement from Destination D23?

We dive into our first stay at the new DVC Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort — and for the first time ever, we brought the dogs! From check-in to checkout, we're breaking down what it's really like to travel to Walt Disney World with your furry family members, including how the pups adjusted, what's included in Pluto's Welcome Kit, and why Fort Wilderness might just be the most peaceful spot on property to settle in and stay a while.We also talk through Disney's pet policy in full — which resorts allow dogs, how the booking process works, and what to expect when that $50 nightly fee kicks in. Then we get into the cabins themselves: the layout, the comfort, the thoughtful little touches, and how these redesigned spaces compare to other DVC options around property. Speaking of golf carts, we couldn't resist — and we're glad we didn't. We share how having one will totally change the vibe of your trip, made traveling with the dogs easier, and added a little extra fun to everything from fried chicken pickups to late-night loops through the campground.From there, we head into classic Fort Wilderness territory: scavenger hunts, gem mining at the Bike Barn, and a perfect mix of old-school charm and new family memories. We talk about meals at the cabin, including an easy homemade breakfast and a fried chicken feast from P&J's Southern Takeout that might still be one of the best values on Disney property.And of course, it wouldn't be a Main Street Magic episode without snacks around property. We'll tell you which ones were worth it (looking at you, monkey bread), which surprised us (hello, watermelon pop), and which ones we're still dreaming about (yes, that Lunchbox tart deserves the hype). We also wrap things up with a trip to Toothsome at Universal for a massive Cookie Jar sundae and one of the sweetest finales we've had in a while.Whether you're thinking about booking a cabin, bringing your pup, or just want to hear about monkey bread and golf cart joyrides, this one's packed with Fort Wilderness magic.

Be our guest as we invite you to pull up a chair and join us for dinner at VIVO Italian Kitchen™ inside Universal CityWalk™ Orlando. Instead of reviewing the restaurant after the fact, we did something different — we hit record right at the table so you could hear our real-time thoughts as the evening unfolded. From the moment the appetizer arrived to the last sip of our mocktails, every reaction, laugh, and side conversation was captured live.We each ordered something different, from handmade pasta entrées crafted with heirloom family recipes to creative zero-proof drinks that gave the night a refreshing twist. Along the way, we share our honest takes on presentation, portion size, service, and overall atmosphere. You'll hear the clink of silverware, the banter over the check, and the little details that make dining at VIVO a uniquely immersive experience.But of course, because it's us, the night also went a little sideways — leading to a surprisingly deep (and funny) conversation about VIVO's bathrooms, which turned out to be some of the most unusual we've ever seen at a theme park restaurant. By the end, we're not just talking food, but also sinks, stalls, and the unwritten etiquette of handwashing.If you've ever wondered what it's really like to dine at VIVO Italian Kitchen™, this episode delivers the flavors, the fun, and even a few unexpected laughs.

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!

840 · Disney Destiny Shipyard Tour: Behind the Curtain of Disney Cruise Line's Boldest ShipJoin me for an exclusive Disney Destiny Shipyard Tour inside Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, where the newest Disney Cruise Line ship is coming to life. I take you behind the scenes to step aboard the Destiny during construction, explore first looks at venues like the Haunted Mansion Parlor, Doctor Strange Sanctum Lounge, and Pride Lands dining, and witness the unforgettable float-out as she touched water for the very first time.The Disney Wish set the stage. The Disney Treasure raised the bar. And the Disney Destiny feels like a game-changer that embraces character-driven storytelling, immersive experiences, and a heroes-and-villains theme unlike anything Disney has attempted before.

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.

On today's show, Greg McLaughlin (The Rebel Base Card Podcast) and I discuss the tenth episode in season two of Andor, “Make It Stop.” We talk about the events in the galaxy one year before the Battle of Yavin, Luthen's arrest, and flashbacks in the episode.

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.

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.
