Soaked at Epcot: Why a Rainy Day on the PeopleMover Became Our Favorite MemoryYou spend months planning a Disney trip. You think you have planned every detail, and you check the weather app like it's your job. But as every seasoned Disney fan knows, Central Florida has a mind of its own.Last month, I headed to Epcot with a few friends. The forecast called for "scattered showers," which in Disney terms usually means "it's going to pour for thirty minutes, then get really humid." But it ended up being one of the most memorable days we've ever had—all thanks to a sudden downpour.We were walking through the World Showcase, debating where to go next. Within minutes, the Central Florida humidity broke, and the skies opened up.We weren't prepared. We didn't have ponchos. Our shoes were instantly soaked. Most people started sprinting toward the resort buses and the Monorail, abandoning their plans. But we looked at each other, dripping wet, and decided to lean into the chaos.We made a mad dash—not to the exit, but toward the park train. We figured that if we were going to be wet, we might as well be on a ride.We ended up hopping on the PeopleMover. If you've never experienced this ride during a torrential downpour, you are missing out on a top-tier Disney life hack. As the ride lifted us up and whisked us through the dark, quiet tunnels of Tomorrowland, the rain hammered against the roof of our carriage. It was loud, cozy, and completely surreal.Looking out over the park from the elevated track, the rain gave the park a shiny, cinematic glow. The neon lights of the Tomorrowland sign reflected off the puddles, and there was an eerie silence in the air that you just don't get on a sunny afternoon.Why the Rain Made It Better?We spent the next thirty minutes laughing until our sides hurt. We were shivering, our clothes were a mess, and we were officially done with "perfect" photos for the day. But that was the magic of it.When you're at Disney, there's this pressure to maximize every minute, to hit every ride, and to follow the schedule. When the rain hit, that pressure evaporated. We weren't worried about our next Lightning Lane or where to stand for the fireworks. We were just four friends, huddled together on a moving track, enjoying a moment of unplanned joy.If you find yourself caught in a sudden Florida storm, don't do what everyone else does—don't rush to the exit. Here is how to make the most of it:Embrace the Poncho : Grab a cheap poncho at the gift shop if you must, but don't let it ruin your outfit.Head for Indoor Attractions: Rides with long, indoor queues or dark rides (like The Seas with Nemo & Friends or Spaceship Earth) are your best friends during a storm.The "PeopleMover Strategy": If you're at Magic Kingdom, the PeopleMover is the ultimate rainy-day sanctuary. It's covered, it's relaxing, and it offers the best view of the storm-drenched park.Find a Table: Grab a coffee or a cocktail at an indoor lounge and wait it out. Some of our best conversations happened while huddled under umbrellas at a quick-service spot.The TakeawayThe irony of a Disney trip is that the things you plan for usually end up being a blur, but the things that go "wrong" become the stories you tell for years.Our soaked Epcot trip reminded us that Disney isn't just about the rides—it's about the people you're with. So, next time you see those dark clouds rolling in over the Geodesic Sphere, don't run for cover. Put your phone away, embrace the rain, and jump on the next ride you see. You might just have the best time of your life.

Howdy, folks! We're back and we are looking at two classic, closed attractions and trying to decide which should come back. Can you guess which? __________________ Theme by J. R. Trimpe at Trimpe.org Image by AI because I'm tired. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week I sat down with Julie Voris, a content creator and Disney cast member who works PhotoPass in the parks. This episode is for those who feel like the Disney World vacation is a giant to do list you are trying to survive. We talk about how to slow down, find the joy, and actually enjoy the vacation you worked so hard to plan. Julie is not a tips and tricks account, and that is exactly why I wanted her on. We get into how young is too young to take your kids, why your own memories matter just as much as theirs, and the trap of trying to do every single thing in one day. Julie shares what she sees from behind the camera in the parks every week, and I share a few stories from my own family trips that taught me the same lessons the hard way. We also dig into the stuff that quietly ruins good trips. Julie walks through how to plan a brutally hot August park day so nobody melts down, why heading back to the resort pool is not quitting, and how reading a little Disney history can change the way you see the parks. I get honest about the spreadsheet families I worry about, and we both agree that value at Disney is subjective, so the bubble wand and the chocolate on the shirt belong in the picture. Stick around to the end for the rapid fire favorites and two of my all time favorite reset tricks for a rough park day. Julie has a monorail move that gets you out of the chaos without going all the way back to your room, and I finally share my PeopleMover secret that I usually keep to myself.   Connect with Julie Voris: Instagram.com/julievoris  Substack :: substack.com/@julievoris (or on the app @julievoris) Website :: julievoris.com   Chapters 00:00  Welcome and Meeting Julie Voris 02:15  How Julie Fell in Love with Disney 06:28  How Young Is Too Young to Take Your Kids to Disney World 09:49  Why Your Memories at Disney World Matter Too 12:10  When Teenagers Act Too Cool for Photos at Disney World 15:06  What Makes Working at Disney World Special 16:48  Does Living Near Disney World Change the Magic 19:41  Spotting a Good Disney World Vacation in Five Minutes 22:13  Best Advice for First Time Planners at Disney World 23:50  The Real Point of a Disney Trip 27:08  Surviving a Hot August Park Day 32:31  Learning What Works for Your Family at Disney World 39:16  What Belongs in Your Disney World Budget First 41:32  Recognizing When to Take a Break 50:34  The Monorail and PeopleMover Reset Tricks

Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is in my top 10 attractions in Disney World

This week on Geekin' on Walt Disney World, I'm joined by two good friends from the Disney podcasting world — Scott and Karen from the Mickeyphile Podcast — for one of those conversations that feels like hanging out in the parks with your Disney pals. We start with a fun day we shared together at Epcot, including time relaxing in the DVC lounge above Figment, catching some live music, and getting a special early look at Soarin' Over America. And yes… there were gasps. Big ones. Scott and Karen bring a ton of Disney experience to the table. They're in the parks often, Scott is a cast member, Karen is deep into the travel planning world, and together they have that perfect mix of Disney knowledge, food opinions, cruise love, and geeky little details that make these conversations so much fun. Planning a Disney Vacation? 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. In This Episode We talk about: Our spoiler-light reactions to Soarin' Over America Why the DVC lounges are such a great hidden perk Favorite current Disney experiences, including BoardWalk, Chefs de France, Citricos, and fireworks cruises Underrated gems like Tiffins, PeopleMover, Little Mermaid, and the Fort Wilderness Segway tour What cast members do behind the scenes to create unexpected magical moments Why Disney Cruise Line feels like “Disney at its best” Palo brunch, cruise fireworks, ship horns, and emotional embarkation moments Planning advice from Karen, including why flexibility matters and why choosing a resort only by price can backfire One of my favorite parts of the episode is hearing Scott talk about cast member pixie dust — those little surprise moments that can turn a guest's day completely around. We also get into what cast members appreciate from guests, and it's a really sweet reminder that kindness goes both ways in Disney World. Then the conversation shifts into Disney Cruise Line, and you can hear how much Scott and Karen love that experience. From Palo brunch to fireworks at sea to the moment your family name is announced when you board the ship, they explain why cruising with Disney hits people emotionally in a way that's hard to describe until you've done it. But the heart of the episode comes near the end. Karen shares that Disney is the place that helps her forget about everything else for a while — the place that brings her true happiness. And I think a lot of us Disney Geeks understand that feeling. It's not always about riding every ride or having the perfect plan. Sometimes it's sitting on a balcony at BoardWalk while it rains. Sometimes it's hearing the Disney Cruise Line horn. Sometimes it's walking under the Disney World sign and feeling your shoulders drop. And sometimes it's just spending time with friends who get it.

Send us Fan MailAre some Disney attractions truly timeless...or do we love them because they've become part of Disney history?This week, Scott and Karen tackle one of the more interesting debates in Disney fandom.

Which attractions stand on their own merits? Which ones benefit from decades of nostalgia?

Lauren and Eric dive into the viral Walt Disney World story of a guest jumping off Kilimanjaro Safaris mid-ride to use the bathroom and why cast members are begging guests to stop exiting attractions. Along the way, they spiral into stories of other infamous Disney ride exits, from Living with the Land cucumber thefts to Horizons urban explorers. Then things take a more lighthearted turn as they each build their personal Disney “Mount Rushmore” of attractions and resorts, revealing a lot about their Disney personalities in the process.

Let's Talk About The People Mover In Disney World

Send us Fan MailDisney feels expensive now. Crowded now. Scheduled now. So we try something different: we time travel, cocktail in hand, and rebuild two Disney vacations from the ground up to see what the parks were really like when the rhythm was slower and the price tags were smaller.We start at Geo-82 in spirit with a Brulee Banana Highball: whiskey, banana liqueur, espresso syrup, Oloroso sherry, club soda, and cacao bitters. Then we jump straight into the challenge. One of us goes deep on Disneyland 1973, when ticket books still shaped your whole day and the Main Street Electrical Parade is brand new. The other maps out Walt Disney World 1984 with an old-school stay at the Polynesian, early EPCOT details, and side quests like River Country and Discovery Island.Along the way we compare admission prices, hotel rates, dining costs, and the feel of attractions across decades, from classic Magic Kingdom lineups to the edutainment-heavy early EPCOT era. We also get honest about what we'd actually want from the past: not “better,” just different, including one hill we'll die on, bringing back the PeopleMover.If you love Disney history, Disney nostalgia, trip planning, or just arguing about what the parks gained and lost over time, hit subscribe, share this with a Disney friend, and leave us a review with the year you'd time travel to.

Candice's Perfect Magic Kingdom Day (No Stress, No Rope Drop, No Lightning Lane)What does a perfect day at Magic Kingdom actually look like… when you account for wait times, weather, and the reality that your feet will eventually stage a protest?In this episode, Scott and Candice map out Candice's ideal Magic Kingdom day—from a relaxed morning at Disney's Beach Club Resort all the way through fireworks, late-night snacks, and a well-earned nightcap.But there's a twist: this isn't fantasy planning.They build the day in real time, factoring in actual wait times, park flow, and those inevitable Disney curveballs.The result? A practical, enjoyable, repeatable Magic Kingdom strategy that proves you don't need Lightning Lane—or a 7:00 a.m. wake-up—to have an incredible day.

The suitcase zippers are straining, work piled up all week, and a Disney Magic cruise is hours away. Perfect time to hit rewind to January 2022! We're taking you back to where our show began, re-airing our very first recording, and reintroducing the two nerds behind the microphones: Alicea and Nathan, high school sweethearts who moved from the East Coast to the Seattle area and accidentally became Disney adults.We unpack the numbers that shape our point of view: 14 Disney trips since 2009, 127 nights in Disney stays, and 11 cruises—two of them Panama Canal crossings, one finishing as the world was closing down. You'll hear the earliest sparks that made Disney stick, from a drumline turning onto Main Street with the castle dead ahead to the Wonderful World of Disney and Mousercise on vinyl. Then we rapid-fire through our favorites with practical detail: why Haunted Mansion still haunts us, why Rise of the Resistance feels more like cinema than a queue, and how PeopleMover earns its “underrated” crown. We talk DVC stays at Riviera and Aulani, the intimacy of the Disney Wonder, Garden Grill breakfasts that feel personal, and the eternal Dole Whip vs. churro standoff.This is also a map for what came next. We share how we keep up with Disney news without parroting headlines, how we'll handle topics like Genie+ only after firsthand use, and why our goal is to deliver weekly, focused episodes that help you plan smarter trips without losing the joy. Expect honest takes, usable tips, and plenty of park and cruise wisdom gathered from real itineraries. Have a question or a hot take? We want your voice in the mix.Subscribe, share with a fellow Disney fan, and leave a quick review to help others find the show. Then tell us: which park wins your heart, and what's the one ride you'll never skip?----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

If you're heading downtown, just know the Detroit People Mover is shut down!

Nostalgia overload, secret park plots, and crazy fan demands. Will Disney deliver the ultimate revival? Since its closure, fans have campaigned for its return, with petitions, social media movements, and discussions on various message boards. Rumors periodically surface about Disney considering a revival, fueled by nostalgia and the track's enduring presence. 85 Minutes.

The countdown to Wine & Dine is on, and the energy is real. We swap last‑week training moves, practical travel advice for 2026 bookings, and a surprisingly useful shoe debate: are Brooks' Stitch-themed Glycerines a smarter buy than limited race-weekend drops? Then we bring in a conversation that will change how you see your run, your city, and your next trip to Disney.Author and advocate Doug Gordon (Life After Cars) joins us to explore a world with fewer cars and more options—walking, cycling, transit, and micro‑mobility that actually fit everyday life. Doug uses Disney's transportation web—monorail, Skyliner, ferries, buses—as a live model for moving huge crowds smoothly without private cars. We talk runner safety and the power of systemic fixes: lower speeds, protected lanes, better crossings, and design that invites lingering, not just passing through. He connects Epcot's original vision to what we crave today: places that feel good to move in.We also spotlight the Chicago Marathon with a stacked roundtable. Hear an expo that hums, a 5K with countries on bibs, and race-day stories that span sub‑three breakthroughs, 60‑minute PRs, back‑of‑the‑pack grit as the course comes down, and a tribute run that turned grief into a 15‑minute PR. Charity teams like American Cancer Society, Ronald McDonald House, and Achilles International show how big-city chaos becomes community. The crowds? Electric from start to finish.We wrap with meetup details (find us by the bleachers), the short‑fuse Disney gift card reminder, and a race report that tours PRs, spooky sprints, endurance milestones, and firsts worth framing. If you love runDisney, safer streets, and finish-line feelings that last, this one's for you.

October 6, 2025 ~ Crain's Detroit Business Managing Editor Mike Lee joins Chris, Lloyd, and Jamie to discuss Michigan small businesses struggling with Trump administration tariffs, a Detroit tower most notably visible from Comerica Park is selling to new ownership, the People Mover considering an expansion, and much more!

We've covered the news of Ford moving their headquarters to a shiny new facility… and demolishing the Glass House on Michigan avenue from a couple of angles. First, economic development and the business reasons. Second, the history of Ford's impact on Dearborn, going back a century. Now, in the third and final installment of the series, we're getting into the history of the Glass House itself. The significance of its architecture and the time in Metro Detroit in the country. We're also going to talk about fanciful plans that were drawn up for Ford more than fifty years ago that would have remade the look of the city into something almost out of science fiction. Dearborn might have gotten it's own rapid transit hub… and its own People Mover… as part of a massive redevelopment of that middle of the city that was Henry Ford's old land into everything from shopping to industrial to company campus.  Our guest is Mark Nickita, FAIA. He's an Architect, Urban Designer, and President of ArchiveDS. He's also a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects.

Scott and Candice kick off the After Dark two-parter with the “land” half of their trip: decompressing at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, an “epic (™)” Magic Kingdom day without rope drop, and a relaxed Epcot morning that turns into a revelation at GEO-82—the retro-futurist, 21+ lounge tucked behind Spaceship Earth.Highlights & takeaways:Poly perks: unbeatable location, laid-back vibe, and why celebration buttons quietly pay dividends.Day 1 bites & sips: Waialua Grill apps, Trader Sam's patio, Homecomin' (moonshine surprise), and why the Stack Burger at Steakhouse 71 still reigns.MK without the grind: Pirates, Country Bears (revamped & genuinely funny), double-loop on PeopleMover, Carousel of Progress comfort, Haunted Mansion nightcap, and why umbrellas > ponchos.Snacks with opinions: Cheeseburger spring rolls = must; crème brûlée croissant redeems Gaston's Tavern.Epcot flow: Ale & Compass breakfast strategy, Living with the Land, Journey of Water's improved audio, a quick hello to Walt, and the star of the show—GEO-82 (elevated cocktails, thoughtful tasting experiences, and a charcuterie board that lives rent-free in our heads).Service stories: a shipping fiasco that turned into a master-class in recovery at Creations Shop, plus a quick PSA on lost-child protocol (find a Cast Member—fast).Pro tips: pace your day, rotate transportation (resort launch can beat the monorail crush), wear your buttons, bring reusable straws, and don't be afraid to leave and come back.

Today we're playing a game called FAST PASS or HARD PASS - where we discuss our favorite (FAST PASS) and least favorite/what we would change  (HARD PASS) things in Tomorrowland in Walt Disney World resort - including the best & worst of Carousel of Progress, Space Mountain, People Mover, Astro-Orbiter, Buzz Lightyear, Lunching Pad, and more!Book your next trip to Disney with Tyler's expert travel agents from People Mover Travel by your side!

Toyota's popular Highlander has celebrated 25 years in Toyota showrooms this year, but the bigger story might be its stretched sibling. The aptly named Toyota Grand Highlander joined the family-hauling rotation in 2023. Still riding on the same TNGA-K underpinnings as the standard Highlander, this Grand model stretched the wheelbase and shell to live up to the prefix. This larger shell adds more space, almost across the board, with extra space at the rear cargo hold taking center stage. Powering the Toyota Grand Highlander is either a turbocharged 2.4-liter I4, a 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain, or the Hybrid Max powertrain that blends a turbocharged 2.4-liter I4 with a hybrid system to net 362 combined horsepower. On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek's Patrick Carone hops behind the wheel of the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander hybrid and puts it through its paces. Carone takes you on a guided tour of the Grand Highlander and highlights some of his favorite features. Later, Carone takes you along on a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Carone chats with host Wesley Wren about the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the Grand Highlander special.

Flight 44: If it moves on wheels at Disneyland, it was probably designed by 93-year old Disney Legend and Thea Lifetime Achievement recipient, Bob Gurr.   Walt Disney was so impressed with his knowledge and skill, that he invited Bob Gurr to join WED Enterprises to design the very first Autopia cars that debuted at Disneyland in 1955. Over the past 74 years, Bob has made transportation magic worldwide, developing such legendary Disneyland ride vehicles as the Monorail, the Flying Saucers, the Haunted Mansion “Doom Buggies," the Submarine Voyage sub fleet, the PeopleMover, and the Matterhorn Bobsleds. After “retiring” in 1981, Bob went on to co-found Sequoia Creative and design the massive King Kong animatronic for Universal Studios Hollywood. He designed the flying spaceship for the 1984 Olympics opening ceremonies, effects for The Jacksons' Victory tour, and dinosaurs for Steven Spielberg's “Jurassic Park.” Plan now to join us as Bob climbs aboard a vehicle with no wheels for a journey across ten decades on one of the most incredible time travel adventures we've ever had!

Mike & Pam are back today with some tough Disney choices to make you think here over the weekend! With the help of our BOGP Clubhouse, we put things in groups of three and had to cut one from the group! From snacks to shows to transportation options to classes of ships, and even the most classic of Disney attractions, we had a really, really hard time with this exercise! Which would you cut between Living with the Land, Spaceship Earth, and the Peoplemover? See what we are working with?
