In today's episode I break down exactly what park hopping is, when it makes sense (and when it really doesn't), the pros and cons, and how to make the most of your time if you decide to go for it.  

This is the story behind the creation of the Park Hop Athletics Collection by 1923 Main Street and how a single event prompted a whole new way of thinking.Hop. Play. Repeat. This is how the Park Hop Athletics trademark collection was created.When Walt Disney World first opening in 1971, it was a much simpler place. We had one theme park (Magic Kingdom), two hotels (Disney's Polynesian Resort and Disney's Contemporary Resort) and Fort Wilderness Campground. That was it.For over a decade, we had endless fun at this original Walt Disney World. The monorail was as much a part of the whole experience as anything else. But when Disney acted to complete one of Walt Disney's final project dreams, a second park finally opened in 1982 (in fact, it was 11 years to the day: October 1, 1982).1982 Was the Year When Park Hopping Became a ThingWhen EPCOT opened as Disney World's second park, something else happened: park hopping suddenly became a reality for Walt Disney World visitors. Now, your amount of fun doubled, because you could hop from one park to another on your vacation on the same day, if you paid for the privilege.And with that, park hopping officially became part of the Disney World vacation lexicon.Being a part of this formative period in Disney World history is what led Mike Belobradic to create the Park Hop Athletics™ collection at 1923 Main Street®. Park Hopping is Fun and Has Benefits, but it isn't for Every Disney TravelerOf course, nowadays, park hopping is much more ingrained into the Disney travel experience – plus you have four theme parks that you can potentially hop between. But one thing hasn't changed: park hopping isn't for everyone. Cost aside, it does take a little stamina and will to want to park hop at Walt Disney World. Many years ago, Disney resort hotels used to present you with a special paper certificate if you managed to hop between all four Disney World parks in a single day. They no longer do this (perhaps because it isn't as big of a challenge any more, given more transportation options), but still, four parks in one day is as much a part of the park hop experience as is two parks on the same day.Park Hop Athletics™ by 1923 Main Street®: Inspired by the Magic of Park HoppingThe 1923 Main Street Park Hop Athletics Collection was inspired by that first park hop experience back in 1982. With a variety of designs that celebrate the ability to Hop. Play. Repeat.™ at Walt Disney World, Park Hop Athletics clothing is truly steeped on this longtime rite of passage.The Park Hop Athletics Collection by 1923 Main Street is comprised of graphic t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies that feature a wide range of authentic original designs, perfect for anyone who loves to take part in this time-honored Disney World tradition. In fact, if you combine rope dropping with park hopping, you can truly make the most of your Disney day. (Read the back story of our Rope Drop Apparel™ Collection here).Within the Park Hop Athletics Collection you'll find graphics inspired by Disney Park hopping in collegiate style, along with unique skateboard and snowboard themed graphics (inspired by the board parks in both sports) and even more themes, including beer and Park Hop Princesses. How's that for a wide range?If Park Hopping is something you love to do, there's a 1923 Main Street Park Hop Athletics t-shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie that's right for you.Shop at 1923 Main StreetThank you for listening to the Disney Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original Disney-inspired clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies, dresses, swimwear and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and have a magical day!Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

In this captivating episode, host Donald Forgione is joined by Phil Gaines, the retired Director of South Carolina State Parks and a current Professor of Practice at Clemson University's Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management. Together, they embark on an insightful journey through three of Florida's remarkable state parks: Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park, Dudley Farm Historic State Park, and Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park. Donald and Phil delve into the unique features and management practices of each park, sharing fascinating stories and historical insights: Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park: Phil and Donald discover the wonders of this National Natural Landmark, featuring a 120-foot-deep, 500-foot-wide sinkhole that harbors a miniature rainforest ecosystem.

Dudley Farm Historic State Park: Phil and Donald stepped back in time to experience Florida's farming heritage from the 1850s to the mid-20th century. They explored the authentic working farm, complete with original buildings and period-dressed staff performing daily chores, and gained an understanding of the significance of preserving this slice of history. Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park: Phil and Donald uncovered the rich biodiversity of Florida's first state preserve, home to wild bison, horses, alligators, and over 270 species of birds. They discuss the park's historical significance, its role in conservation, and the challenges of managing such a diverse habitat. Throughout the episode, Donald and Phil reflect on their experiences in park management, the importance of conservation, and the stories that make these parks treasures of Florida's natural and cultural landscape. Bios: Phil Gaines: With a 38-year career at the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism, Phil served as Director for 13 years. Following his retirement, he continues to contribute to the field as a Professor of Practice at Clemson University, where he focuses on developing future leaders in parks and recreation management. ​ Donald Forgione: Director of Florida State Parks (ret), Author, Keynote Speaker. Donald brings decades of experience in park management and conservation. As host of this podcast, he shares his passion for the outdoors, storytelling, and preserving the natural and cultural resources of our parks.

In this episode, Becca and Jessica discuss the things they have changed their minds about at Disneyland Resort. They cover topics such as taking a midday break, enjoying World of Color, the Tomorrowland Lounge, using Genie Plus, park hopping, the reimagined Toontown, and the benefits of rope dropping. They emphasize that everyone's preferences and experiences may vary, and it's important to find what works best for each individual or family.   Takeaways Taking a midday break can be a beneficial strategy to avoid exhaustion and enjoy Disneyland Resort. World of Color has improved with new options such as the virtual queue and dessert party. Opinions on the Tomorrowland Lounge have changed due to changes in seating and food options. Using Genie Plus is not always necessary and some families have successfully enjoyed the parks without it. Park hopping can be a cost-saving option, but it depends on personal preferences and budget. Toontown has been reimagined and offers new attractions, making it a must-visit area. Rope dropping can be a rewarding experience, even for those who initially thought it was unnecessary. It's important to be open to changing opinions and finding what works best for each individual or family at Disneyland Resort.

In the 176th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are back together again, at least on the Zoom screen!  After catching up a little on recent travels and future travels, Jenn gives her take on recent Disney news, like the Park Hopping 2pm rule ending (she's for it!) and Candlelight Processional's narrator lineup (she's for it!) and the newest promos and discounts coming up (she's for that too!) Then, Jenn and Dave take a deep dive into the 9 minute Disney short film, "Once Upon a Studio" as they give their glowing review.  They walk through the short a little at time, giving Easter Eggs and things to see, as well as pointing out some of the more obscure characters you'll find through out. Finally, in honor of Disney's 100th anniversary, they have a meaningful conversation on what "Disney" truly means to each of them -- from their first Disney memories to first Disney movies to the moments they knew they'd be Disney lifers.  And yes, both get a little emotional, so stick around for the dust in the room. 

Disney fans rejoice! Park hopping anytime will soon be returning to Walt Disney World. Unfortunately, we're also seeing some major price hikes at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort. Plus, "The Tale of Moana" heads to the Disney Treasure cruise ship, Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game is expanding its reach, and some new Droids were seen testing in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland.

In the 175th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave turns out to be No Jenn Just Dave today... as Jenn (and Friend of the Show #KylaKylaKyla) are returning from their trip in London & Paris -- at recording time, they were flying out, and at the time you listen, they'll be home, recovering from jetlag! Dave takes the show solo today, first briefly touching on his Majestic Princess cruise from last week, then "hopping" on all the big news released this week, including the big news that Park Hopping rules of "Only after 2p" are going to be dropped on January 9th, adding to the other big events of that day, including Park Pass Reservations going away and Disney Dining Plan coming back. He also gives a short list of things he wishes Disney would bring back (Express anyone?) and then runs through the list of the Candlelight Processional narrators revealed recently, and the dining package that goes with it. Finally, in an off-the-cuff chat, a quick word of encouragement via a Walt quote, regarding all the craziness of the world today.
