On podcast episode 70 Carrie and Francine explore the Disney Renaissance era, did you know this was a thing?  This 10 year period between 1989 and 1999 brought about a whole new generation of Disney fans who were first introduced via movies like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin  and The Lion King. According to Wikipedia "The Disney Renaissance is the period from 1989 to 1999 during which Walt Disney Feature Animation returned to producing critically and commercially successful animated films that were mostly based on well-known stories, much as the studio did during the era of Walt Disney during the 1930s to 1960s." While Carrie and Fran explore what it was like growing up during that time, guests Ashley and Cheryl share the life lessons they learned from the movies.  It's a fun conversation about how they became Disney fans and how each generation views it differently.

We had too many questions that we had to do a second episode to get through them all. How many t-shirts in my collection? We answer that and more! Questions: Dustins' questions that we answered: 1) Just a guess...how many dole whips or LeFous brews have you had? 2) Ultimate disney dining day...Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner and dessert. 3) Favourite Walt quote 4) Worst financial decision on a Disney vacation. 5) Three attractions you’ve never been on 6) Actual number of shirts in your collection 7) Favourite attraction POV video to watch during the pandemic 8) Favourite extinct parade 9) What attraction/experience/meal would you like to bring friends to? Aydin's Questions: 1) My question would be: if you were at WDW on your actual birthday and got to choose what to do all day, what would each of you choose to do? And would your podcast co-host enjoy doing all of those things with you? 2) You each get to choose 1 attraction, 1 snack, 1 table service meal and 1 beverage (WDW only - sorry Carrie and Jamie). What do you each choose?

You asked and we answered! We are reading your questions and sharing our thoughts. Anything from where to eat Thanksgiving dinner to how we met! Questions: Jessica asked:  Maybe you guys already said this but how did you and Carrie meet? What brought on the friendship? Nikki asked: My question is, have you ever done the parks on Super Bowl Sunday? I have been told the park is practically empty due to American’s fanaticism over football. We were planning on going to WDW this year before your cruise. Until we found out Super Bowl was in Miami...which is where we sailed out of. Bryce asked:  I have two questions! My wife and I are going to WDW over Thanksgiving. 1. How in the world do you get into Be Our Guest restaurant in Magic Kingdom 2. What is the best place to eat Thanksgiving on Disney Property? Sheila asked:  What/who is your favorite character Tyler asked:  I would like to know how you feel with the new live action movies. From Cinderella to the new Mulan including lion king. For some this was the second age of Disney movies so the remakes can feel weird. Are they taking two steps forward and one step back or just cashing in on a name and story that’s already done.

It has always been important to me that I call it Walt Disney World.  It became a pet peeve of mine when I would see blogs and social media posts referring to it as 'Disney World' - I always want to comment "don't forget WALT"!  When I saw some top Disney executives call it 'Disney World' I started to doubt myself, is it really supposed to be Walt?  Who could I ask to clear this up for me?  The best person I knew to talk about the history of Walt would be Jeff Barnes! Jeff Barnes is is the best-selling author of The Wisdom of Walt: Leadership Lessons from the Happiest Place on Earth and Beyond the Wisdom of Walt: Life Lessons from the Most Magical Place on Earth. Known as Dr. Disneyland, he teaches the only accredited college course on the History of Disneyland.  I think this makes him more than qualified to talk about this subject!

10 Million people subscribed to Disney+ on November 12th - and of course I was one of them! I was overwhelmed and couldn't wait to share with you my first thoughts on the service.  What I didn't expect was what my nephew Andrew thought about the service and the new Star Wars show - Mandalorian.

Welcome to the 2nd episode of the Most Delightful Thoughts podcast! Today I’m chatting all things Disney with my friend, Francine. Francine and I met in person on a Disney cruise with mutual friends, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know her further in the years since. She has an awesome blog, Pixie Dust Fans, and also heads up one of only two Disney fan pages I follow on Facebook. She’s super fun, super knowledgeable about Disney and I really enjoyed chatting with her about some of the new things Disney has coming in the next year. I hope you enjoy!   Show notes: Pixie Dust Fan blog Pixie Dust Fan Facebook page Pixie Dust Fan Instagram   Delightful Favorites: Chip and Dale Spicy Snack Mix Corn Dog Nuggets at Casey’s, Magic Kingdom For more information and delightful chatter head to our website and the facebook group and join in the fun!
