We dig into the Annual Passholder Exclusive Carrot Cake Sundae — vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, roasted pecans, carrot cake crumbs in a waffle bowl, topped with a birthday cake-flavored shell and a chocolate carrot — for $8.99. And we also try the Cookie Dough Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich for $8.29 — a brownie layered with vanilla ice cream, topped with chocolate chips and edible cookie dough.This episode was recorded live and on location, so you'll hear our real-time reactions, first bites, honest reviews, and whether these dishes are worth your time (and your snack budget).Come hungry.

We're lighting the torch and bringing back one of our favorite traditions — the Main Street Magic Disney Olympics, where we hand out bronze, silver, and gold medals across Walt Disney World in the only way we know how… with strong opinions and zero hesitation.From breathtaking resort views and nighttime vibes to walkable paths and poolside energy, we break down which resorts stand on the podium in 2026. Then we head into the parks to crown medalists for themed lands, ride merchandise, immersive queues, and our top World Showcase pavilions.Of course, no Olympics would be complete without food. We award medals for the best burgers, pizza, quick service dishes, shareable plates, comfort food spots, and dessert destinations across property. Some results may shock you. Some may spark debate. All are fully earned.And in our new “Refresh & Reset” category, we spotlight the best coffee experiences, cooling treats, and creative non-alcoholic beverages — because surviving (and thriving) at Walt Disney World in 2026 is all about balance.This episode is packed with hot takes, fan favorites, and a few surprises. Let the games begin.

Venus sets up a Pride photo shoot at Villa Rosa complete with Chris, Jason and Marcus; LVP forces Venus to relive his gay trauma; Audrey confides in her gay, Parker, over her reservations with dating Chris, then gags said Chris at Universal Studios, leaving him in the dust.Jason tries and fails at waiting on Lisa and Ken's table at SUR, and is soon relegated to the host stand; he also gets taught Shayne's Meisner-esque methods on the set of a Vertical Drama. Venus Le Fleur hits up TomTom with Parked and demon twink Ryan, recapping his recent car blowjob and how he's back in the love game. Then at McKenna's beach birthday, Audrey and Chris work through their bumpy road to going steady while Natalie gets her bi on the beach bar with Jason and rindom Allison. Hosted on Acast.

I am joined by Dr. Stephen Cabebe, founder of Fit for the Magic, to break down a smarter, healthier, and far more realistic way to think about fitness through the lens of Disney. We start with Stephen's personal journey—how Disney shifted from a once-in-a-while vacation into a core part of his life, and the moment he realized fitness and Disney didn't need to compete with each other.From there, we dive into the Fit for the Magic philosophy: why consistency beats intensity, why movement should exist between trips (not just before them), and how Disney itself can become an anchor habit for long-term health.We also unpack why Disney trips are closer to endurance events than vacations—covering standing fatigue, posture, mental overload, and why step count is one of the most overrated metrics in the parks. The conversation goes deeper into the mental side of Disney, exploring decision fatigue, emotional highs and lows, and how fitness can improve patience, mood, and resilience.Food gets a refresh too, with a guilt-free approach to fueling for joy, not restriction. And we wrap things up with active recovery Disney-style, plus a fast-paced Main Street Lightning Round that's equal parts practical and fun.If you want to enjoy Disney more, feel better in the parks, and stop “starting over” every Monday—this episode is for you.FOLLOW STEPHENWebsite: www.fitforthemagic.comBook: https://fitforthemagic.com/disneyreadyPodcast: https://fitforthemagic.com/category/happily-ever-active/Instagram: @fit.forthemagic Book a Disney Prep Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/stephen-cabebe/30min

Tune in and find out. What started out with the idea of comparing attendance at Universal Studios in Florida to Walt Disney World, so many tangents (the cursed MiceCast Unrelated Subject Bug™) came up. The Over/Under on how many times Mike tried to course-correct this episode stands at 4. 53 Minutes.

We're recapping a recent Walt Disney World trip where we start with a big moment for longtime fans — one final ride on DINOSAUR at Disney's Animal Kingdom — sharing what it felt like to experience this attraction again and why it hit a little differently this time around.From there, we dive into Festival of the Arts for some updates at EPCOT while also taking a moment to pay tribute to Catherine O'Hara and her lasting impact. Along the way, we share what impressed us, what missed the mark, and what's actually worth your time (and appetite) on your next visit.We also spend time in Magic Kingdom soaking in some classic favorites — grabbing popcorn, stopping by Casey's Corner, and taking in the Starlight Parade — before doing what we somehow always end up doing and heading over to Disney Springs for Pizza Ponte and a scoop (or two) from Salt & Straw.Finally, we talk about staying off property once again — this time at TownePlace Suites Lake Buena Vista — and share honest thoughts on location, value, parking fees, included perks, and whether it makes sense compared to staying in the Disney bubble.

When a fire tore through the backlot of Universal Studios in 2008, it took with it countless priceless music archives. Recordings from a staggering number of artists, from Nirvana to Aretha Franklin were incinerated, never to be heard by anyone again. For its part, Universal Music Group has appeared to be transparent with neither the impacted artist nor the general public, in terms of assessing the scale of the damage done that day.

We're building our ultimate Walt Disney World meal — pulling our favorite picks from all across property to create one perfect dining experience. From the location and atmosphere to the drink, appetizer, entrée, and dessert, we're drafting the best bites Disney has to offer right now.We last did this episode awhile back, and let's just say… a lot has changed. Over the years, we've tried new restaurants, revisited longtime favorites, watched menus evolve, and had some strong opinions shift along the way. With all that dining under our belts, it felt like the perfect time to update our picks and see what still holds up — and what's earned a spot on the new list.To keep things interesting, we added a few ground rules: we can't choose the same item, we can't pick more than once from the same location, and we can pull individual items from family-style meals. The result is a fun, conversational episode filled with debate, nostalgia, cravings, and plenty of “almost picked this” moments.This isn't about naming the “best” restaurant at Walt Disney World — it's about what we actually crave, what we go back to time and time again, and what makes a meal feel memorable. If you've ever thought about what your perfect Disney meal would look like, this episode is guaranteed to get you hungry and spark a few ideas of your own.

On today's Disney Podcast, we are talking about our favorite places in all four Disney World theme parks that we love spending time in just to soak up the vibes. From lounges to attractions, these places have us coming back time and time again. After well over a decade of trips to Disney World, these are our favorites…what are yours? Enjoy!

Rumor season did not wait for us during our short absence. We already have plenty of rumored properties to discuss. Some, like Hellraiser and Stranger Things feel like strong possibilities.
