Send us a textRaise your pineapple cups and join us for our milestone 52nd episode celebration! We've come full circle by revisiting the Lapu Lapu from Tambu Lounge at Disney's Polynesian Resort - the very first drink we featured when our Disney cocktail adventure began one year ago.With 52 Disney drinks under our belts, we're sharing our definitive rankings of the best and worst beverages across the parks and resorts. The Ottawa Apple from BaseLine Tap House earned unanimous praise as our top pick, while the Lapu Lapu, Cold Brew Martini, and surprisingly delicious Angry Bloody Rancor all made our favorite five list. Not every Disney concoction impressed us though - we didn't hold back our opinions on disappointments like the Mint Julep (which we both agreed was forgettable) and the Sunspot that made our faces pucker "like we were eating Lemon Heads."The most fascinating revelations came from drinks that completely surprised us, like the PB&J Cocktail from TuneIn Lounge that sounded bizarre on paper but delivered unexpectedly delightful flavors. We also shared our bucket list beverages we're still eager to try - including the theatrical Uh-Oa! from Trader Sam's with its fire ritual and the intriguing La Cava Avocado featuring fresh avocado and hibiscus salt rim.Our year of Disney drinking has taught us valuable lessons about our preferences too. Aaron gravitates toward sophisticated sipping cocktails where you can truly taste the quality spirits, while Christy discovered her love for Disney's creative martinis - noting they've yet to make a bad one. Whether you're planning your next Disney vacation or just looking for mixology inspiration, our anniversary episode offers the perfect blend of nostalgia, honest reviews, and tropical rum enjoyment.Have a Disney drink you think we should feature? Send us your suggestions - we'll do the research and drink it for you! Cheers to many more years of Disney cocktail adventures!Here's who we are and what is in store for you

We wrap up our epic 4-day Disneyland adventure with a jam-packed finale full of iconic attractions, creative eats, and unforgettable vibes. We kick things off by blasting into Hyperspace Mountain and conquering the classic Matterhorn Bobsleds before fueling up with a legendary Disneyland breakfast chimichanga from Ship to Shore Marketplace.Our Downtown Disney detour leads to a shopping spree and a wild bite of the viral Pickle Corn Dog at Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. Then it's back to Ballast Point for a midday refresh before diving deep into Disneyland's Food & Wine Festival. We break down standout dishes like the sirloin Gruyère mac, musubi fried rice, and spicy shrimp papas locas, plus sweet and savory hits from Peppers Cali-Ente and Golden Dreams.After that, it's off to Lamplight Lounge for drinks, bites, and a much-needed break—including the fan-favorite 2319 mocktail and loaded potato skins. The evening shifts to lounge hopping with stops at Broken Spell and Trader Sam's, where we try tiki cocktails, pork gyoza, and poke bowls.We hop aboard the Disneyland Monorail back to Tomorrowland, soak up the nighttime magic with popcorn, Dapper Dans, and shopping, and then wrap up with a Blue Bayou dinner—complete with crab cakes, filet mignon, and a refreshing mint julep. Before calling it a night, we experience Mickey's Mic Magic, and we hit Radiator Springs Racers, Jungle Cruise, and Haunted Mansion, before reflecting on the highlights of our entire Disneyland trip.If you've been following along, don't miss this big finish—and if you haven't, go back and catch Days 1–3 to hear the full magic unfold!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

Disney's Polynesian Village Resort opened at Walt Disney World on October 1, 1971, making it only one of two opening day hotels on property (the other is Disney's Contemporary Resort; Fort Wilderness Campground opened at a month later). Inspired by the South Pacific, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort feels like its own tropical oasis on Seven Seas Lagoon (a short monorail or boat ride away from Magic Kingdom). With world-class restaurants and lounges ('Ohana, Kona Cafe, Trader Sam's and more), iconic pools, breathtaking views, a wide range of unique room options (including honeymoon suites and Bora Bora Bungalows), and a rich history at Walt Disney World, Polynesian is a fan-favorite resort.   In this episode, we discuss everything you need to know about staying at this deluxe-level resort, share reasons why you might want to stay here, and offer suggestions about how to make the most of your stay. And stay tuned because our next podcast episode will feature more information specifically about Island Tower, the newest addition to this resort and part of the Disney Vacation Club portfolio of hotels.   To plan a trip, be sure to work with KMV Travel.   Get bonus content, ad-free episodes, and more at patreon.com/imaginationskyway.   Tag me and join the conversation below.

A highlight of the festival is a new sculpture on Main Street, U.S.A., featuring iconic Pixar characters like Woody and Buzz Lightyear. – NEW Main Street, U.S.A., Addition Announced for Disney's Pixar Fest | the disney food blog Disney California Adventure is set to reintroduce “Hurry Home — A Lunar New Year Celebration,” a nighttime show, as part of its Lunar New Year Festival starting on January 23rd. This special event will be showcased before the “World of Color — ONE” show, which is returning from a brief refurbishment on January 19th. The “Hurry Home” celebration will continue through February 18th, aligning with the duration of the Lunar New Year Festival. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2024/01/05/a-disney-nighttime-show-is-coming-back-in-2024/ The Food & Wine Festival, running from March 1st through April 22nd, will offer an array of events.

This decision has sparked criticism, as it is believed to potentially increase standby wait times for an attraction that typically does not require a skip-the-line feature. Critics argue that this move decreases the guest experience, pointing to similar impacts seen with the Little Mermaid attraction, where the introduction of Lightning Lane led to longer standby lines. – https://www.micechat.com/377221-disneyland-news-holidays-end-lightning-lame-constant-construction/ The “Tale of the Lion King” show at Disneyland has concluded its run. This high-energy performance, although smaller in scale compared to previous productions at the Fantasyland Theatre, was popular. With its closure, Disneyland currently has no major theatrical productions, as the Hyperion and the Fantasyland Theater are unused and “Fantasmic!” is set to return on May 24th. The park continues to offer smaller-scale shows like Storytelling at the Fairytale Theatre in Princess Fantasy Faire. – Disneyland Update: The Great Goodbye, Lightning Lame & Constant Construction (micechat.com) Disneyland has unveiled ten new culinary delights, available starting January 10th. At the Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe, guests can indulge in Banoffee Pie, Strawberry-Stuffed Croissant, Cherry-Vanilla Macaron, Lemon Meringue Éclair, Chocolate Mousse Brownie, S'mores Tart, and Beef Birria Toasted Cheese. Meanwhile, Smokejumpers Grill in Disney California Adventure is adding a Raspberry Cheesecake Shake, Citrus-Melon Punch, and Sparkling Blackberry Lemonade to its lineup. These additions offer diverse flavors, ranging from sweet pastries to savory sandwiches, offering something for everyone. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2024/01/08/disney-just-announced-10-new-menu-items/ Snack Chat: Carnation Cafe, a fixture of Disneyland's Main Street, U.S.A., opened as an ice cream parlor in 1955. Sponsored by Carnation, it initially featured an ice cream counter and outdoor seating. In 1997, it transformed into a restaurant specializing in American comfort food. The Victorian-style building offers a charming dining experience, with carnation flowers on each table. Signature items include Walt Disney's favorite, Walt's Chili, and popular vegan Mickey Mouse waffles. The cafe also gained attention for its fried pickle appetizers, a Disneyland must-try according to Eater in 2019 – https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disneyland/carnation-cafe/menus Discussion Topic: Author and International Best Seller Alexandra Monir hanna.pollock@sparkpointstudio.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CyOpEzciirg/ https://books.disney.com/book/realm-of-wonders/ https://www.instagram.com/alexandramonir/ Anyone who orders a book and sends a reciept screenshot or photo to hanna.pollock email can get a free limited edition signed book plate (personalized with provided name) and a limited edition 3 poster set. https://a.co/d/ebRoC0c – The Final Six book alexandramonirbooks@gmail.com

We already covered tips on how you can experience this holiday tradition if you aren't an invited guest. If you are going to be in the parks this weekend, be ready to have some congestion at the front of Disneyland before, during, and after the processional. - https://www.micechat.com/374193-disneyland-update-igers-wish-big-crowds-its-a-small-nude-after-all/ Magic Key Holders have some new holiday merchandise to choose from.

The popcorn bucket is themed after the character Valentino from the movie, and the sipper is Star. Valentino is a small brown goat wearing an orange shirt. The Wish Star sipper is shaped like the Star character and features a yellow painted face on a sparkling yellow body. - https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/11/photos-wish-valentino-popcorn-bucket-star-sipper-arrive-at-disneyland-resort/ Fans of the Dapper Dans may want to add a new item to their gift lists. A new knit polo shirt in the theme of the Dapper Dans has arrived on Main Street in Disneyland. The polo is $78, and features a repeating red pinstripe pattern across the front and back, stopping at the sleeves to simulate the appearance of a Dapper Dans vest. - https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/11/dapper-dans-knit-polo-shirt-available-at-disneyland-park/ Fans of the oversized candy bar at Pym Test Kitchen may be disappointed at the following news. The Choco Smash Bar is now the Choco Smash Cake. Gone is the candy bar shape and presentation, and is now in the form of a slice of cake, made from the same ingredients. MiceChat reports that the size of the cake slices are all over the place, but will hopefully stabilize as cast members get used to the new format. - https://www.micechat.com/374193-disneyland-update-igers-wish-big-crowds-its-a-small-nude-after-all/ An unusual sight happened on "it's a small world" this weekend.

He was charged on multiple accounts. - https://www.micechat.com/374193-disneyland-update-igers-wish-big-crowds-its-a-small-nude-after-all/ Discussion Topic: Author Marcy Carriker Smothers Amazon links - https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marcy-Carriker-Smothers/author/B00D8GZR8S Marcy's Website - https://www.marcycarrikersmothers.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/marcycarrikersmothers/

News: Over at MiceChat, Dusty Sage was able to have a conversation with higher-up associated with Tiana's Bayou Adventure where he expressed his dismay at the focus on the search for a missing ingredient. If Dusty is right, there is a lot more going on with this attraction. Per his conversation, it is a sort of fake out for guests concealing the fact that they are doing a lot more with this attraction than has been announced. Massive set pieces are being installed to make this much more grand than the attraction that it is replacing. They are also spending a considerable amount on this project that they could have built an entirely new attraction. – https://www.micechat.com/371000-disneyland-update-snowfall-pumpkins-missed-opportunities/ It is possible that by the time you listen to this, the Adventureland Treehouse could be open! All of the scaffolding has been removed and the construction tape is gone. The walls around the attraction seem to be the only thing holding back excited guests. – https://www.micechat.com/371000-disneyland-update-snowfall-pumpkins-missed-opportunities/ https://www.micechat.com/371000-disneyland-update-snowfall-pumpkins-missed-opportunities/ The Paradise Pier Hotel will become the Pixar Place Hotel officially on January 30th, 2024. The new Luxo Lamp sculpture is yet to be installed, and the Great Maple restaurant is still under construction. The Disney Parks Blog posted images of the new room decor and all the reopening details. To see them yourself, head on over to the link in our show notes. –https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/10/opening-date-revealed-for-pixar-place-hotel-at-disneyland-resort-plus-sneak-peek-of-great-maple-menu-pixar-themed-hotel-rooms-and-more/ As we have spoken about a few times on the podcast recently, Toontown is undergoing some updates to fix the land's main interactive fountain and dreaming tree section. The CenTOONial Park is scheduled to reopen on October 30th, and then Goofy's How-to-Play Yard will close on the same day. Changes to this area are scheduled to wrap up and reopen to the public on November 10th. Hopefully, this will just leave Donald's Duck Pond having never been operating for guests. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/10/17/one-disney-attraction-will-reopen-soon-but-another-will-close-the-same-day/ A fun new activity is coming to the Disneyland Resort this Halloween Season. The Disney Parks Blog posted a Halloween Time Scavenger Hunt Around the Disneyland Resort. The scavenger hunt provides clues to find things in Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, and Downtown Disney. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/10/try-our-new-disneyland-resort-halloween-scavenger-hunt-for-families/ Halloween is still about a week away, but Christmas is already moving in around the resort. Snow has started to fall on Sleeping Beauty Castle, resulting in the Disney100 decorations disappearing before the actual anniversary, lights are going up in the trees on Main Street, and New Orleans Square is starting to have its decorations installed. – https://www.micechat.com/371000-disneyland-update-snowfall-pumpkins-missed-opportunities/ Have you ever wanted to have breakfast with Santa?

Parkside Market will house four new locations for guests to dine while at the resort. Seoul Sister will be a fast-casual restaurant serving Korean Rice bowls with a California twist. Sip & Sonder will serve lattes, as well as fresh treats, frozen drinks and Caribbean-inspired bites. GG's Chicken Shop will serve a family-friendly menu of chicken sandwiches, salads, and classic dinner table sides. Finally, a second-story bar will serve craft cocktails and mocktails. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/10/4-new-dining-options-revealed-for-new-parkside-market-more-coming-to-downtown-disney-district/ A couple new design elements have been added to the new Downtown Disney expansion area. The stage is a unique mid-century modern design and a new sculptural tower crafted by Nikkolas Smith honoring the contributions of mid-20th century architects of color in Southern California. This area should debut later this year. – https://www.micechat.com/344054-disneyland-news-downtown-disney-expansion/ Just last week we talked about the new animatronics that Imaginnering was working on. This week, they were already in the park delighting guests roaming around Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. What makes these so interesting is that there are multiple of them walking around at the same time! They move in a very animated and playful way and remind us of the ducklings that you can see walking around the resort in the spring. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/10/12/people-are-loving-disneys-new-wandering-droids-youve-gotta-see-why/ As we spoke about in our last episode, there is a lot going on over at the Pixar Place Hotel. A lot of construction is happening on the exterior of the building, and around the grounds. Inside, there are still areas that have curtains around them to mask some continuing work. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/10/photos-wall-e-store-named-staircase-to-the-soul-realm-completed-and-more-construction-updates-from-disneys-pixar-place-hotel/ Discussion Topic: Our Oogie Boogie Bash Experience This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
