This week, I'm joined by Matt Robinson, the son of my good friend and longtime Disney Geek Dan Robinson, to recap a very special father-and-sons trip to Walt Disney World.Matt traveled with Dan and his brother Ben for a birthday celebration filled with great food, new attractions, Disney lounges, and a split stay at Old Key West and the new Polynesian Island Tower.But before the trip could even begin, their flight was delayed repeatedly and eventually canceled, forcing them to spend the night in the airport and lose an entire day of their vacation.Thankfully, some great planning, flexibility, and outstanding help from Disney Guest Services allowed them to recover nearly everything they thought they had lost.In this episode, we talk about:How Disney Guest Services helped rescue their vacationCelebrating Ben's birthday with Premier Lightning Lane passesFirst-time dining experiences at Le Cellier, Olivia's, and San Angel InnChurro Mickey waffles and the perfect Crystal Palace brunch strategyStaying at Old Key West and the Polynesian Island TowerRanking Disney lounges, including Beak & Barrel, Wailulu, GEO-82, Nomad Lounge, and Steakhouse 71Comparing the Wayfinder Burger and the Steakhouse 71 Stack BurgerNew and refreshed attractions, including Buzz Lightyear, Big Thunder Mountain, Soarin', Smugglers Run, and the Muppets coasterWhy there are always new Disney experiences waiting, even after many tripsMore than anything, this episode is about the value of slowing down and enjoying Walt Disney World in a different way.Instead of racing from attraction to attraction, Matt, Dan, and Ben made time for lounges, great meals, new resorts, and spontaneous experiences. And in the end, the most meaningful part of the trip was simply celebrating Ben's birthday together as a father and two sons.
Planning your Disney vacation can be magical...until dining reservations, dining plans, influencer recommendations, and festival food all start competing for your attention.In this episode, Scott and Candice take an honest look at how their approach to Disney dining has changed over the years. Once enthusiastic supporters of the Disney Dining Plan, they've discovered that the "best value" isn't always the best vacation—and that sometimes less planning actually creates a better experience.Along the way, they discuss:• Why the Disney Dining Plan doesn't feel quite the same anymore• How dining reservations have become one of the most stressful parts of planning a trip• The influence social media has on restaurant popularity—and why you shouldn't always follow the crowd• Balancing table service meals with EPCOT festival booths• Whether Disney should introduce a snack-only dining plan• Restaurants and food that lived up to the hype—and a few that didn't• Why lounges like Nomad Lounge and GEO-82 are becoming some of their favorite Disney experiences• The importance of researching restaurants without overthinking every meal• How travel professionals can help simplify the planning process• Why food should enhance your vacation—not become homeworkYou'll also hear Scott pitch a (mostly tongue-in-cheek...mostly) Disney World bar crawl idea that just might deserve a patent.Whether you're planning your first Walt Disney World vacation or your fifteenth, this conversation is all about finding the dining experiences that fit *your* travel style instead of chasing someone else's must-do list.Because at the end of the day, the best Disney meal isn't necessarily the hardest reservation to get—it's the one that makes your vacation even more magical.---**Question of the Week:**What's your perfect Disney dining vibe?

The Florida weather tried to run the show, but we still pulled off a packed Walt Disney World parks trip with plenty of snacks, storms, and hard-earned tips. Five parks. Three days. Were we crazy, lucky, or smart? Yes.We start with the pre-cruise stretch: checking into Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, hopping to EPCOT, and attempting the classic “drinking around the world” challenge in World Showcase while thunder and rain keep forcing us indoors at exactly the right moments.We also share one of our favorite adult breaks at EPCOT: Geo-82, the 21+ lounge inside Spaceship Earth, plus what it's like riding Ratatouille now that the 3D is gone and how Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind hits when you catch a new song. Italy becomes our accidental home base again, and yes, we have thoughts about how easy it is to “get stuck” there once the snacks and drinks start rolling.Then we splurge at Hollywood Studios with Lightning Lane Premiere Pass and explain how it works, what it costs, and why it felt like a true game changer for doing the park in a few hours without living on our phones. After a Disney Springs errand run, we got swept away at DVC's Moonlight Magic at Typhoon Lagoon.Post-cruise, we go full bucket list with a Polynesian Bora Bora bungalow stay, Trader Sam's, and July 4 fireworks from the deck. We wrap the trip with what was supposed to be a relaxing day, but turned into Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom highlights, including Nomad Lounge, a minivan pro tip, Tron, the Beak and Barrel pirate bar, and ride updates like a smoother Big Thunder and a refreshed Buzz Lightyear.Subscribe, share this with your Disney parks planning crew, and leave a rating and review so more Disney fans can find us.

Welcome back to Hangin' at the Hangar Bar! After a brief break, Scott and Candice return for the final installment in the "Candice's Perfect Day" series, and this time they're heading to Disney's Animal Kingdom. From safari adventures and grilled corn in Harambe to an afternoon at Nomad Lounge and a nighttime stroll through Pandora, Candice maps out her ideal day in one of Walt Disney World's most immersive parks. Along the way, the duo discusses why Animal Kingdom feels different from every other Disney park, the importance of slowing down and appreciating the atmosphere, and the attractions that surprisingly didn't make the cut. Plus, they share some practical advice for planning your own Disney vacation—without turning it into an endurance event. In this episode:Why Animal Kingdom may be Candice's favorite Disney parkThe Disney snack cravings currently occupying Scott and Candice's mindsBreakfast at Beach Club and coffee (and tea!) from Joffrey'sExploring the Tree of Life carvings and hidden animal trailsA morning safari—and hopes of getting delayed by some particularly stubborn giraffesGrilled corn from Harambe Fruit MarketGorilla Falls Exploration Trail and the Harambe performersRevisiting Finding Nemo: The Big Blue... and Beyond!Riding Expedition Everest and saying hello to the Disco YetiA leisurely late lunch at TiffinsSpending the afternoon relaxing at Nomad LoungeExperiencing Kilimanjaro Safaris at duskTaking in the glowing beauty of Pandora at nightWrapping up the park day with dinner at Satu'li CanteenWhy attractions like Flight of Passage, Festival of the Lion King, and Feathered Friends in Flight didn't make Candice's perfect itineraryThoughts on Zootopia, DinoLand's closure, and other Animal Kingdom experiencesTips for creating your own "perfect Disney day"Why hydration, rest, and realistic expectations can make or break a vacationWhether Scott's own "Perfect Day" series should be nextAs the "Candice's Perfect Day" series comes to a close, Scott and Candice remind listeners that there is no single "right" way to experience Disney. Your perfect vacation doesn't have to look like anyone else's—whether that means rope dropping attractions or spending hours soaking in the atmosphere with a drink in hand.

You can do Walt Disney World “wrong” and still have an incredible time. Nathan proves it with a rare solo trip that includes two weeks in the Orlando area, two park days, and exactly zero interest in sprinting from headline attraction to headline attraction. We talk through what a relaxed Disney mindset looks like when nobody else is voting on the plan, and why the best moments sometimes come from letting go of the need to maximize every minute.We start at Disney's Hollywood Studios, where Nathan tries to jump into Lightning Lane Multi Pass late and realizes, in real time, how many rules and timing tricks you need to make it work. The good news: the mission still gets accomplished with Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets. We break down the new theming, how the rotating songs function, and what still feels physically rough about the track. Then we dig into the Animation Courtyard refresh and why the space finally feels open, inviting, and worth a dedicated walk-through.From there, it's Animal Kingdom for Flame Tree Barbecue and a well-earned Nomad Lounge stop, plus quick hits like Expedition Everest and the Zootopia Better Zoogether show. Day two heads to EPCOT for Spaceship Earth, the new Soarin' over America, and a big rethink of Remy's Ratatouille Adventure now that it runs without 3D glasses, which can be a game-changer for motion sickness. We also share a few travel-life lessons, including why an early flight home can be great, unless you're chasing a pre-9 a.m. Sunday mimosa.If you're planning a Disney solo trip, comparing Lightning Lane strategies, or just looking for honest Walt Disney World trip reporting, subscribe, share this with a Disney friend, and leave us a review so more listeners can find the show.----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

Hey Disney Geeks! This week, Curtis is joined once again by one of our favorite members of the Geekin' family — Kayleen — as she shares a Walt Disney World trip report from a rare just-the-two-of-them Disney vacation with her husband Scott. This trip had a little bit of everything we love around here… Rope drop strategy Split-stay resort talk Disney food and drinks Animal Kingdom stories Magic Kingdom nostalgia Lounge reviews And that classic Disney Geek energy where “relaxing” somehow still means walking 10 miles a day.

Viral desserts and hidden gems. Drinks in Pandora - The World of Avatar developed with James Cameron's team. Nomad Lounge. Tiffins at 10 years. And a full conversation with Chef Greg Hannon, Culinary Director of Disney's Animal Kingdom, about authenticity, storytelling through food, the future of Tropical Americas, and what his perfect food day in the park looks like.This is Disney's Animal Kingdom like you have never tasted it before.Plus, I'll have a very special announcement to share with you at the end of the show... but here's a not-so-subtle hint
This week on the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast, we're lacing up the running shoes, grabbing a beignet, and heading into a Disney trip that started with runDisney Springtime Surprise weekend — but quickly became about so much more than miles and medals. Curtis is joined by three Geekin' family favorites — Holly, Laura, and Heidi — for a fun, relaxed, and very Disney Geek-style trip report filled with race stories, resort time, lounges, surprise meetups, food talk, cruise talk, and one unforgettable green wig. Because when Holly shows up dressed as Disgust from Inside Out for a runDisney race, you know we're off to a good start. Planning Your Next Disney Adventure? If you're thinking about planning your next Disney vacation and some Epic Universe… My wife Margita and our good friend Auntie Judy are the Travelin' Tiaras — your trusted Disney travel planners. Whether you're booking Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Universal, or beyond… They'll help you plan a smart, stress-free vacation from start to finish. Already booked? You can transfer your reservation to us and still get expert tips, strategy, and support — and it's a great way to support the show. TravelinTiaras@gmail.com Or reach out on Facebook Messenger. And right now… there are great opportunities for upcoming travel, so it's a perfect time to start planning. Featuring This Week This episode includes: Holly, Laura, and Heidi sharing their runDisney Springtime Surprise weekend A stay at Coronado Springs and a solo stay at Port Orleans French Quarter A 10-miler, a 10K, costumes, character stops, and race-day nerves Surprise Geek meetups with Samantha, Selena, Tori, Joe, and more Food and drink stops at Le Cellier, Nomad Lounge, GEO-82, Beak and Barrel, Homecoming, and Sangria University Flower and Garden Festival bites, beignets, maple popcorn, and more Thoughts on newer Disney experiences like the Zootopia show, updated Buzz Lightyear, and Beak and Barrel A bonus cruise recap aboard Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas RunDisney, Beignets, and Green Hair The episode kicks off with Holly wearing the green wig she used for her Disgust costume during the Springtime Surprise 10-Miler — which pretty much sets the tone for the whole conversation. Holly shares that she went into the race under-trained because of a shoulder injury and made it all the way to mile nine before being swept. But what stands out is her perspective. She knew it might happen, she pushed as far as she could, and she still came away with pride, humor, and yes… the medal. Laura brings the solo-trip energy with a stay at Port Orleans French Quarter, where she enjoyed a slower pace, pool time, peaceful resort moments, and plenty of beignets. She also shares one of the funniest race moments: dressing as a bee for the Winnie the Pooh-themed 10K and trying to drink yellow Gatorade from a hard plastic honey bear bottle mid-race. That's runDisney dedication right there. Heidi took a more relaxed race approach — stopping for characters, enjoying the course, and making memories along the way. Her character stops included Nick and Judy from Zootopia, Boba Fett, Woody and Bo Peep, and Bing Bong. Some people chase personal records. Some people chase character photos. Both are absolutely valid. The Geekin' Family Shows Up One of the best parts of this episode is how the Geekin' family keeps popping into the trip. Holly and Corey meet up with Tori and Joe at Yeehaw Bob over at Port Orleans Riverside — and then get surprised when Samantha and Selena walk in. Later, Heidi gets her own surprise. And Laura talks about that feeling of traveling solo, making it through the expo chaos, and then suddenly seeing “her people” at Nomad Lounge. That's the heart of this episode. Yes, it's a trip report. But underneath the races, snacks, lounges, and Disney details is that bigger feeling we talk about all the time: Disney is better when you've found your people. Food, Lounges, and Disney Geek Favorites Of course, this wouldn't be a Geekin' trip report without food. Holly and Corey enjoyed Le Cellier, including cheddar cheese soup, pretzel bread, filet, and an ice wine flight. Laura sampled tanghulu at the China booth, maple popcorn in Canada, jambalaya at French Quarter, and the crème brûlée croissant at Gaston's. Heidi had several Flower and Garden Festival hits, including duck in France, Caribbean-style chicken, flan, and a fish slider. The lounge talk is strong in this one too. Nomad Lounge remains a Geek favorite for its cozy seating, small plates, drinks, and Animal Kingdom atmosphere. GEO-82 gets praise for cocktails and mushroom flatbread. And Beak and Barrel sparks a fun comparison to Oga's Cantina and Trader Sam's — lots to look at, some cool effects, and maybe one of those places that grows on you over time. New Disney Experiences and a Cruise Bonus The group also shares thoughts on a few newer Disney experiences. Heidi talks about the new Zootopia show at Animal Kingdom and whether it really fits the deeper theme of the park. Laura gives her take on the updated Buzz Lightyear, including the new removable blasters and the joy of feeling like a Space Ranger… even when the score says otherwise. And after the Disney portion of the trip, Holly, Corey, Heidi, and Missy headed out on Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas for a four-night cruise — complete with big-ship entertainment, shows, skating, surfing, ziplining, and a water show set to '80s music. The Real Heart of the Episode The best part of this conversation is not just the race. It's not just the snacks. It's not just the lounges. It's the people. It's the surprise visits. It's the inside jokes. It's the ride photos. It's that feeling of seeing friends you may only get to see a few times a year — but when you do, it feels like a reunion. That's the Geekin' family. And that's why these trip reports always mean a little more than just “here's what we did.” They're stories about connection. Listen to Episode 668 Episode 668 of the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast is available now wherever you listen to podcasts. Come for the runDisney stories. Stay for the beignets, lounges, Flower and Garden snacks, surprise Geek meetups, and one very committed green-haired Disgust costume.

Send us Fan MailVillains do not need to rebuild Disneyland to make it feel cursed. Give them control over the ride names, the background music, and the menu descriptions, and suddenly every “classic” turns into a warning label. We start with a toast straight out of Disney Cruise Line lore by recreating The Darling from DeVille's Piano Lounge on the Disney Destiny, then we use that same attention to theme and tone to let the bad guys run wild.From there, we draft the takeover rules and pick our battlegrounds: Disneyland and Disney's Animal Kingdom. You'll hear our ride overlay pitches that keep the mechanics intact while flipping the story, like Kilimanjaro Safaris as Scar's Wasteland, Expedition Everest pursued by the Druun, and Flight of Passage reframed as a full-on Battle For Pandora. On the Disneyland side, Space Mountain becomes Zerg's “Totally Safe” training simulator complete with relentless monologuing, Pirates turns into Captain Hook's “respectable” maritime career pitch, and It's a Small World gets a Dr. Facilier twist that asks one question on repeat: did you read the fine print?We also take swings at shows and walkthroughs, from Scar-centered theater to a Phantasmic narration track run by Hades, plus a Maleficent-inspired castle exhibit that rewrites the whole “who is the victim?” argument. And because Disney food culture is half the fun, we rename lounges and restaurants with villain energy, including a Nomad Lounge takeover with color-changing cocktails and a Cruella dining makeover that insists the steak is totally not what you think.If you love Disney villains, theme park storytelling, Disneyland details, Animal Kingdom atmosphere, and clever menu theming, hit subscribe, share the episode with a Disney friend, and leave a review. Which villain takeover would you actually want to experience?
Welcome to the Living by Disney podcast! In today's episode Serena is sharing about her chef-led culinary food tour at Disney's Animal KIngdom park.

In Episode 660 of the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast, we're back with Part 2 of our Geek meetup weekend — and this is where the trip really comes to life. If Part 1 was about getting everyone together… Part 2 is about what happens when this community is fully in motion. From a full-scale Epcot scavenger hunt… to late-night adventures… to unforgettable emotional moments — this episode captures what makes these Geek meetups so special. The Scavenger Hunt That Took Over Epcot Saturday was the big day. Dan put together an incredibly detailed custom scavenger hunt that had teams of Geeks running all around Epcot solving clues, completing challenges, and hunting down… ducks. Yes — ducks. Teams used a web-based app with geolocation Clues ranged from easy finds to deep Disney details Bonus points came from hidden “duck nests” And a live leaderboard kept the competition intense What made it even cooler? Dan's son Matt was running “command center” from home, verifying answers in real time and tracking scores. It wasn't just a game — it was an experience, and one that brought everyone together in a really unique way. Great Food, Drinks, and Disney Detours As always… no Geek meetup is complete without some incredible food stops along the way: 50's Prime Time Café – classic comfort food and hilarious server interactions Baseline Tap House – a perfect hangout spot for Geeks to regroup GEO-82 – charcuterie, bourbon flights, and elevated lounge vibes Three Bridges at Coronado – continuing the unofficial “burger challenge” And for some of the group… A truly unique experience at the Epilogue Speakeasy inside the Four Seasons, featuring: Hidden entrance and immersive storytelling Florida-inspired craft cocktails A full-on “experience” — not just drinks Meanwhile, others enjoyed a private Epcot fireworks cruise, proving once again that there's no “one way” to do Disney. The Moments That Matter Most And this is where the episode really hits home. Because beyond the rides, food, and planning… This trip was about people. Curtis shares a powerful moment reflecting on: The friendships built over 12+ years of the podcast Meeting listeners who have become real-life friends And even witnessing a meaningful, almost “meant-to-be” reunion between community members There were also quieter, personal moments: Holding a baby and thinking about becoming a grandfather Seeing how welcoming and supportive this community is to new members Watching complete strangers become fast friends over a shared Disney love These are the moments that don't show up on a park map… but define the trip. One Last Disney Day Before heading home, the group squeezed in one more day: Animal Kingdom adventures First-time experiences like Festival of the Lion King Snacks at Nomad Lounge and Satuli Canteen Final meals at Homecomin' and Brown Derby And just like that… Another incredible Geek weekend came to a close. Final Thoughts This episode is a perfect reminder that: Disney trips aren't just about rides… They're about connection, community, and shared experiences. What started as a podcast has grown into something much bigger: A group of people who show up for each other A place where friendships are formed And a community that continues to grow, one trip at a time Ready to Plan Your Own Disney Adventure?

Is Disney food actually an attraction?We started with a click-baity article promising “100+ new restaurants”… and instead used it as a jumping-off point for a deeper conversation about how Disney designs dining experiences — and why food might be just as important as rides.From Porto's and the Downtown Disney steakhouse concept to cruise ship rotational dining and the new signature restaurant in Disneyland Paris, we're not doing a news rundown — we're talking about what it all means for how we plan Disney trips.Along the way we ask:✨ Do we plan park days around dining reservations?✨ Why does Disney partner with celebrity chefs?✨ Is cruise ship dining all about IP because the ship is the theme park?✨ Why is Paris able to treat food as the main attraction while the U.S. rushes to the next Lightning Lane?✨ Could you do a full Disney trip with food as the focus and skip the rides?We also kick things off with a fun question:Which celebrity chef would you bring to Disney — and where would you put them?
✨ Episode SummaryIn this deliciously indulgent episode, hosts Scott and Candice go full foodie bougie and map out their dream Walt Disney World Bougie Crawl — a curated journey through the most upscale lounges, bars, and dining spots on property. From caviar and cocktails to ahi tuna nachos and Dom Pérignon, they explore how to elevate your Disney vacation beyond the parks with grown-up experiences and sophisticated bites.They break down their crawl by resort and park, sprinkling in personal stories, strong opinions (Trader Sam's = not bougie), and playful tangents about Golden Oak, Disney staycation strategies, and why “old money bougie” always wins over “new money bougie.”
We are counting down the Top 10 Disney Cocktails at Walt Disney World — from classic favourites to hidden gems found in lounges, resort bars, and beyond !!Whether you love a tiki-style tropical drink, a smoky bourbon pour, or a refreshing frozen sip to cool you down in the Florida sun, we've got a little something for every Disney drinker.We'll be talking: • Iconic “must-try” cocktails

Today, Kirbi and Dustin Love share the story of their morning Pandora: The World of Avatar ceremony and Nomad Lounge brunch in Animal Kingdom, with a reception that night at Terrace des Fleurs in EPCOT. Guest experience was a top priority for Dustin and Kirbi, so they added mix-ins on four different rides: a choice of Flight of Passage or Na'vi River Journey after the ceremony, and a choice of Soarin' or Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind after the reception. They also added a welcome party at the Grand Floridian Marina so that they could surprise guests with an appearance by Mickey, Minnie, Chip 'n' Dale in their Christmas outfits, which weren't allowed at any of the couple's other venues.

We unravel the tapestry of nighttime adventures, offering you a taste of the magic and the mishaps that make Disney after dark an unforgettable experience.As we reflect on our whirlwind tour of Epcot's International Festival of the Arts, we bring to light the best and the less dazzling moments, from lounging at the Nomad Lounge to navigating the festival's culinary landscape. We muse over our future aspirations to immerse ourselves more in the artistic offerings, rather than overindulging in the sweet temptations that beckon from every corner. Join us on this laughter-filled ride through the thrills and tranquility of Disney World, as we share practical tips, heartwarming encounters with wildlife, and the simple joys of theme park life. Whether it's your first time or you're a seasoned park-goer, our stories are sure to enchant and inspire your next Disney adventure.Please check out our links below:Our Sponsor:www.mainstreettravelco.comEmail Us:circleofparks@gmail.comOur Website:www.circleofparks.comInstagram:www.instagram.com/circleofparksFacebook:www.facebook.com/circleofparksX:www.x.com/circleofparksSupport the show

This week, Mollie Swendrowski shares the story of her ceremony at Italy Plaza in EPCOT, celebration at Ariel's at the Yacht & Beach Club, and dessert party at Terrace des Fleurs in EPCOT. Creating a memorable, unique experience for her guests was one of Mollie's top priorities, and today she talks about how she and Adam were able to do that on a strict budget. This includes cutting all floral decor at the ceremony and reception, making her own personal floral from the pages of Harry Potter books, and holding their first dances at the ceremony venue to eliminate the need for a musician or DJ at the celebration. Mollie also shares the details of their economical welcome party at Animal Kingdom's Nomad Lounge. Click here to see ALL the photos!
