We made our first visit to the brand new Villas at Disneyland Hotel tower last weekend. This Disney Vacation Club resort opened in late-September, and is quite simply an artistic masterpiece of Disney Imagineering's take on mid-century modern design. From the rooms to the decor to the pool and the new Palm Breeze Bar, this place is a 10 out of 10 in our book.

Our great friends Rachel and Meredith (Mer) are on the show this week and we're talking about the Disney Wish. Seasoned cruisers, they just took a weekend 3-night excursion along with their other halves Bill and Andrew, aboard Disney's first Triton Class ship. While they did have a great time, and there are definitely stories we didn't cover on the record, it was a great opportunity to compare notes about our Wish experiences.----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattlites addicted to The Mouse.

Audie Lawley is back on the podcast, and this time she's joined by her husband Tim to tell us all about their transatlantic sailing on the Disney Dream earlier this year, from Miami to Barcelona with stops in the Azores, Lisbon, Cádiz, Málaga, and Cartagena (the one in Spain, not Colombia). Not only was this a special repositioning cruise, but it was also the Dream's first sailing during DCL's Silver 25th Anniversary celebration, complete with new character outfits, snacks, decorations, and of course merch!Tim and Audie are travel agents with The Magic For Less.

This week we're chatting with Robyn Johnson, who's a mom of kiddos with food allergies and a frequent Disneyland visitor about navigating food options in the park when you have constraints in what you can eat. She's launching a new website called ParkMagic.com, and it includes a tool called Picky Mickey that can help you plan what and where to eat given your allergies. And it works for everyone else too, and includes drinks at all the bars. Do give her site a look to help plan your next Disneyland adventure.As we mentioned in the show, if you want to talk to someone at Disney about navigating special dietary needs while you're at Disneyland or Disney World, there's an email for each resort posted on the DL and WDW websites.

Dr. Eric Larson is a leading expert on aging and dementia and one of the creators of a massive living lab studying the brains of 5000 Seattle residents as they age over decades. The research is called the Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) Study. Dr. Larson is optimistic when it comes to preventing the devastating disease, but not because miracle medicines might be on the horizon. Instead, he believes Alzheimer's and other types of dementia are directly impacted by the lifestyle choices individuals make. He's finding people are increasingly paying attention to those lifestyle issues and doing the right thing for their health. In fact, as an example, he says, the closest thing to a magic pill for reducing the risk of dementia is probably exercise. But that is just one of the 12 modifiable risk factors to prevent the disease. Larson speaks to the dozen modifiable risk factors that were presented in a 2020 report of the Lancet Commission and they include: less education, hypertension, hearing impairment (between the ages 45-65 hearing loss is the biggest modifiable risk factor), smoking, obesity, depression, physical inactivity, diabetes (type 2 leads to a two-fold increased risk of developing AD), low social contact, excessive alcohol consumption, traumatic brain injury, and air pollution. “There is no inevitability about this condition,” he says of the loss of cognitive functioning. “I was reading the numbers. There's a 1/3 drop from 2000 to 2016 in the rates of dementia in North America and Europe. We have reached a point where people are better educated, socio and economic indicators have improved. We're not doing the same stuff our parents were doing as far as health. We realize we need to exercise, and not smoke, and not drink a bunch of alcohol.” On the other hand, Dr. Larson worries that dementia is increasing in less-advanced, industrializing societies that adopt some of the unhealthier aspects of the Western lifestyle. Some of the choices that people can make to diminish the risk of Alzheimer's, besides engaging in physical exercise, are controlling weight and blood pressure; treating or protecting against diabetes; quitting smoking; moderating alcohol consumption; and addressing hearing loss and perhaps even vision impairment. "A lot of the things that reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease are the things that improve health and well-being in older people,” points out Dr. Larson, who recently retired. But individuals should not wait until they approach old age to adapt to a healthy lifestyle. The earlier they begin, the more likely they are to diminish the chances of losing cognitive function. ***** Dr. Eric B. Larson was executive director of Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute (KPWHRI) and vice president for research and healthcare innovation at Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington. A general internist, he was a professor of medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle. He recently retired from full-time work, but continues to be active in the field of geriatrics and works part time at the University of Washington's Department of Medicine as a professor of medicine. Dr. Larson began at the University of Washington as a fellow in 1975 after graduating from Harvard Medical School. He served as medical director at the University of Washington Medical Center and was associate dean for clinical affairs from 1989 until 2002. Dr. Larson joined Group Health (now Kaiser Permanente) in 2002 to lead the Center for Health Studies. His research on aging includes a longstanding collaboration between Kaiser Permanente Washington and the University of Washington called the Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) Study. With colleagues from University of Washington and Group Health, he received a demonstration grant from the National Institutes of Health to establish a model Alzheimer's disease registry in 1986. This morphed into the landmark Adult Changes in Thought study with the establishment of the initial cohort of 2581 randomly selected volunteers who joined the study 1994-96. The cohort has doubled since then and is one of the longest continuous studies on aging and dementia in the world. ***** Cutting Edge Health podcast website: https://cuttingedgehealth.com/ Cutting Edge Health Social and YouTube: YouTube channel: youtube.com/@cuttingedgehealthpodcast Instagram - https://instagram.com/cuttingedgehealthpodcast Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Cutting-Edge-Health-Podcast-with-Jane-Rogers-101036902255756 Please note that the information provided in this show is not medical advice, nor should it be taken or applied as a replacement for medical advice.

It wasn't supposed to be, but as it turns out this week's look back at a previous Disney vacation turns out to be the last time we were in Hawaii … and that was all the way back in 2018. Don't worry, we're fixing that in just a couple short months. This week we cover our DVC Home of Aulani Resort, Kualoa Ranch, and finding secret treasures via the Shaka Guide app. We can't recommend both Kualoa and Shaka Guide highly enough.

We had the pleasure of touring 3 different cruise ships while they were in port here in Seattle between cruises to see what Celebrity, Norwegian, and Holland America have to offer. They're very distinct markets that each are catering to - are we one of them? Could a Disney Cruise Line alternative be in our future? Let's find out!This episode is NOT an ad for any cruise line, or for Travel Perks - the travel agency that made these tours available through the Microsoft Prime employee discounts program.

We're joined this week by Tyler, a Disneyland CM who not only worked at Splash Mountain but was one of the last people to take the iconic log flume ride in it's current form when it closed a few weeks ago on May 31, 2023. It was really cool to get an insider perspective on what it's like to make the magic happen for thousands of guests every day and hear a few fun stories as well.

We're joined by Brent Todd this week, who was the moderator/coordinator/lead-cat-herder of the Facebook group for our recent cruise on the Disney Wish. If you're not familiar with cruise groups, essentially these are community forums run by fellow cruisers on your specific sailing that allow you to meet others, ask questions and learn from folks who have cruised before, plan activities onboard, and generally get as plugged in as you want to the temporary little town that will be your upcoming cruise. We talk about Todd's experiences as a 3-time group admin, how he works to build community, and the benefits of participating in or even running a cruise group.We had a great time talking with Brent, so much so that we had to cut a bunch of our conversation out to keep this episode manageable.

This week we're joined by friends and neighbors Kristin and Ryan to compare notes on the Disney Wish. They, along with their two daughters, are Castaway Gold cruisers with 4 voyages on the Wish under their belt (2 back-to-backs). It was really great to hear their perspective on the Wish, and hear about their rather rough voyage to Nassau a couple months ago.If you haven't seen it, here's the video we mentioned of the Wish coming into port during a storm in Nassau on 11 April, 2023. ----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattlites addicted to The Mouse.

We close our our March 2023 anniversary coverage with a trip report covering all the awesome stuff we did in Disney World that wasn't onboard the Disney Wish. We got to experience Tron: Lightcycle Run during the soft opening, made our first visit to Space 220, had our camera phone stolen by a wild cowboy at Whispering Canyon Cafe, and tried to save the world at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. A few days in the parks. Several amazing meals.

This week we're joined by Jenna, who recently completed her first in person runDisney weekend during the Springtime Surprise event at Walt Disney World. After doing some local 5K and even a virtual half marathon, she completed a 5K, 10K, and 10 mile race in Florida. Jenna is proof positive that with a positive attitude you can do just about anything, and was honestly kind of inspiring for us.

We conclude our tour of the Disney Wish by stepping through The Rose bar, and discovering the DCL fleet's newest adults-only dining experiences: Enchanté and Palo Steakhouse. While we didn't take the opportunity to dine in the Lumiere-inspired Enchanté, we were able to enjoy both a brunch and a dinner at Palo Steakhouse. Both spaces are stunningly gorgeous, and we can speak with authority when we say Palo Steakhouse carries on the DCL Palo legacy with flying colors.

So this week, we're turning our lens on Big Mouse with our Quarterly Disney Report focusing on the goings on at Disney from January through March 2023.

This week we walk through the various spaces and activities aboard the beautiful Disney Wish. Whether you're looking for a Broadway-class show, some DCL merch, or a great spot to have a night cap, the Wish has you covered. It's definitely different than the other DCL ships, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. While we think they could have made a few different decisions, we never felt like the ship was overcrowded - and it was a completely full voyage.

Join us as we come to you live on tape from Concierge room 12502 aboard the beautiful Disney Wish (okay, it was digitally recorded). We wanted to capture our initial impressions of the new vessel, so we recorded this episode after being onboard for 24 hours. Are the problems you may have heard about really as bad as they're made out to be? Were our expectations met, or maybe even exceeded? We also had the opportunity to enjoy Serenity Bay on Castaway Cay for the first time, so that's included here too.In the coming weeks we'll be diving deep into the Wish's food options, entertainment, spaces, activities, and shopping onboard, so make sure you're subscribed in your favorite podcast app!----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattlites addicted to The Mouse.

We're joined this week by our old friend McCayla, who's recently launched her own Instagram channel called Mickey_and_MC. She's an amazing mom with a passion for Disneyland, and that really comes across in her awesome content. For this episode we talked through bringing kids of various ages to Disneyland. McCayla shared some stories and perspectives with us about 5 age groups: under 3, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, teens. Of course we also talked about tips for us adults too, along with a healthy dose of just joking around and catching up.

Learn about the program's opportunities to work in the parks, where DCP'ers get to live, what the qualification requirements are, and what the application process is like. Ashley personifies what Disney magic is all about, and we're so delighted to have had a chance to meet her. You're going to love this episode!Ironically, right after we recorded this episode we saw that the Disney Programs team is starting a special mini series of podcasts, videos, and other content about the Disney College Program. Even better, it's co-hosted by the fabulous Holly - who we watched grow up from a little kid at our church. It's a small world, after all!!!For more information on the Disney College Program, check out these resources:Disney Programs (disneycareers.com)Disney Programs Blog - Life at Disney
This week's episode is a dive into the world of the modern pop culture convention. Alicea frequently works at Emerald City Comic Con, and has even traveled to help out at conventions in Portland, New York, and even last year's Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim. The tables are turned in this episode as the kids interview Alicea about her experiences and what keeps her coming back year after year. And of course Alicea returns the favor, asking the kids about what they enjoyed most at this year's ECCC.----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattlites addicted to The Mouse.

Inspired by our 11 year old, and a meme Allears.net posted on Instagram a few months ago, this week we're playing a quick round of "Would you rather..." with the family - and of course it's Disney related! Do we value resorts more than food? Is it better to live in a universe with Star Wars or Marvel super heroes? We'll answer these burning questions and more on this week's episode!----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattlites addicted to The Mouse.

Alicea and Nathan took a long weekend trip from Seattle to Orlando in late-April 2018 to meet back up with our amazing friends from our Mexican Riviera cruise the previous Fall. We reminisce about hanging out with amazing people, eating incredible food, having a couple drinks, and enjoying one of the most amazing mornings in Magic Kingdom imaginable. We even spent a day at Kennedy Space Center nerding out. This was a great trip!----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattlites addicted to The Mouse.

This week is a little self-indulgent, but it's an amazing episode nonetheless. Our guest is David Novak, and if that surname sounds familiar it's because he's Nathan's dad.

Even today, the magic of Disney captures him and brings joy and wonder.

This is the story of how we met some of our best friends, though the magic of Disney pixie dust randomly seating us at the same table for dinners on our "without the kids" September 2017 7-night Mexican Riviera sailing on the Wonder. We don't usually party like this, but we sure did this trip! It was a good thing we were sailing back-to-back, because we needed another 4 night cruise to ease back into reality.There's a lot going on with Disney Cruise Line these days as cruising continues to recover from the pandemic and DCL welcomes 3 new ships to the fleet, and they just recently announced the purchase of a 4th new vessel. If you jump to the 48:45 mark you can hear our thoughts on DCLs future, and what that might mean for our favorite ship the Wonder (and the Magic).----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattlites addicted to The Mouse.

One of the things you have to know about us is that we're different people when we're at Disney than we are at home, especially when it comes to spending time on a Disney Cruise with our best friends. The Crew parties hard, and that was especially true when it came to the fine dining options and drink tasting sessions aboard the Disney Fantasy this past August (2022). We partook in multiple officially hosted drinking sampling classes, several unofficial sessions with the amazing bartenders onboard, hit up Palo for brunch and dinner on the same day, and had one of the best meals we've ever had at Remy.CAUTION: Don't listen to this episode on an empty stomach!----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattlites addicted to The Mouse.

Political and communications guru Amanda Finney stopped by the bookstore for a chat on running the HRC primary in Louisianna and where that ill-fated 2016 campaign went wrong. She and Ian discuss what they both see as the real divide in America, which is less about left versus right and more about one's identity in place. She urges Seattlites to get into more dinner table arguments with their uncles.
Will advances in artificial intelligence, geoengineering, and bioengineering save or destroy the human race? That’s debatable. KUOW and Town Hall invited you to join us at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute on Sunday, March 24 for the latest event in KUOW’s That’s Debatable series. At this Oxford-style debate, a panel of smart Seattlites squared off on the proposition, “Technology will save us.” The conversation kicked off with an audience vote. Then both sides gave their arguments and then you, the audience, vote again. The team that convinces more people to join their side wins. Will you change your mind?

For a few months of the year, Seattle is darker than anywhere else in the country. Living through it year after year, Seattlites have developed a special relationship with light, both natural and otherwise. How can we better take advantage of this special relationship in architecture and design? How can designers integrate light thoughtfully into their work? How come streetlights are so darn harsh? What's Kelvin, and should we care? (Yes, we should.)
You might have noticed there are some new people in town, and who knows, you might be one of them. With so many new Seattlites with different ideas about the future of Seattle, how can we open a dialogue and make the city a Seattle for everyone, native and newcomer alike?
The great outdoors is hugely important to Pacific Northwest culture, and Landscape Designers work in the language that Pacific North-westerners speak fluently. As the line between inside and out blurs, how do we manage the expectations of an urban population that values this vital connection above all else? With so many new Seattlites with different sensibilities regarding the outdoors, how do designers manage these expectations?
There are very different experiences between urban life and suburban life. Newcomers and Seattle natives alike are facing a choice of how much space they want, versus how much they can afford. What kind of exodus is it sending Seattlites on, and are they moving towards the city center, or away?
We chat with Bhama Roget, comedian, voice talent, and actress, known for her roles in Laggies, Eden, and the award-winning web series Wrecked. She's also the voice of the Awakening and Dana Knightstone game series, and Seattlites know her as the crazy Bartell shopper.
