It's all part of the strange, entertaining, and occasionally unhinged culture of youth sports. Whether you're a hockey parent, a sports parent, or just someone who loves hearing about real-life chaos, this episode is packed with plenty of rink-side drama.

Welcome back to Capture The Magic! This week we're diving into all the latest Disney World news and there's honestly so much happening right now. First up, Disney just dropped their complete 4th of July food and drink guide and wow, there are some seriously patriotic treats coming our way. We're talking red, white and blue everything across all four parks. Plus we finally got more details about what to expect story-wise when Monstropolis opens at Magic Kingdom. The new land is going to be way more immersive than we initially thought. Speaking of new stuff, Toy Story 5 is bringing some cool passholder perks to Hollywood Studios, and everyone can grab that new Bullseye popcorn bucket. But if you wanted that Lightning McQueen popcorn bucket that just dropped, good luck because it sold out almost immediately. Classic Disney popcorn bucket chaos strikes again. Over at EPCOT, La Poutinerie is opening July 1st and we've got the full menu with pricing. Spoiler alert, it's not exactly budget-friendly but those loaded fries look incredible. And if you've been wanting to do brunch at Citricos, now's your chance since they're moving the Grand Floridian Cafe brunch over there. We're also reviewing those Mickey churro waffles from Spyglass Grill that everyone's been talking about, plus we tried some of the new Bluey treats at Pizzafari. Let's just say one of us was way more excited about Bluey than the other. Plus we're chatting about our recent park experiences including that busy Animation Courtyard, the updated Smuggler's Run experience with Mando and Grogu, and why Soarin' Across America hits different every single time.

Planning your first Walt Disney World trip and feeling buried in news, discounts, and decisions? In this episode, Chip and I sort out what actually matters for your family right now. We cover the new Bluey experience, the best room discounts of the year, two changes Disney made without telling anyone, and a full breakdown of split stays. We start with Bluey's Wild World at Animal Kingdom, because the hype and the reality do not quite match. I explain what the experience really is, why the virtual queue disappeared so fast, how long the whole thing takes once you add the train, and whether it should change your park plans at all. Then I get on my soapbox about why virtual queues are one of the worst experiences for first-time families. From there we move to money. The 2027 bounce back offers are live, and these are some of the best pure room discounts you will ever get. I walk through the value, moderate, and deluxe discount ranges, how to bridge dates that fall outside the offer, and a trick I learned this week for moving a bounce back to dates you have not even chosen yet. I also break down the quiet change to Princess Fairytale Hall, where Disney is now rotating a surprise visiting princess and not telling you who it is. We finish with the segment listeners keep asking about: split stays. Chip and I are both dads of five, so we talk honestly about the bag transfer headaches, the water park perk most families waste, the front desk check-in trick, and the resort combinations we would book if budget were no object.

It is built by knowing your market, protecting your energy, showing up with intention, and becoming the kind of professional people naturally want in their corner. When relationships stay at the center, business becomes more than a transaction. It becomes a path to lasting freedom, deeper service, and a life that actually feels worth building.

Recently, thanks to Shambhala Publications and our friend Ivan Bercholz, we had the chance to ask Pema Chodron, the wonderful Buddhist teacher I've been lucky enough to know all my life, a brief question. It was Willa and Kelsey's first time meeting Pema! It was a pleasure and an honor and helpful in an earthy way. Dharma is always surprising in how it rings true and surprises my thinking mind. ~ Waylon Lewis Read the full article on Elephant: https://www.elephantjournal.com/2026/03/im-a-new-father-i-asked-pema-chodron-how-we-should-prepare-our-daughter-for-a-wild-world/

We've built elite athletes. But are we building strong humans? In this episode of WINNERS FIND A WAY, I sit down with Gary Thrapp — youth sports advocate, author, and owner of Beyond The Baseline — to talk about where youth sports is headed… and what it's costing us. This conversation isn't soft. It's real. About Gary Thrapp With over 40 years in youth sports, Gary Thrapp has facilitated more than 50,000 games at his facility in Davenport, Iowa 9a8ef877-a0eb-478f-9c46-23d2842… . He's the owner of Beyond The Baseline, a premier basketball and volleyball event center, and author of The Wild World of Youth Sports. Gary focuses on: Leadership development Character formation Community engagement Creating equitable opportunities for kids He works on the front lines of youth development every single day 9a8ef877-a0eb-478f-9c46-23d2842… . And what he's seeing should get every parent's attention. What We Covered 1️⃣ NIL & The Business of Youth Sports The money conversation isn't going away. But when recruiting replaces development… When metrics replace fundamentals… When ego replaces effort… We have a problem. We talked about: NIL filtering down to youth levels The transfer portal mindset Winning vs. developing Recruiting talent vs. building skill 2️⃣ The Hidden Epidemic: Phones & Attention Gary told a story that hit me hard. A third grader asked him: "Why are you making us work while the adults are staring at their phones?" That's leadership. From a third grader. We discussed: Attention spans collapsing Coaches competing with TikTok Parents missing the moments The competitive edge of focus If you want your child to have an advantage? Put the phone down. 3️⃣ Developing a Success Map Gary's book Developing Your Success Map centers on one powerful idea: Ask kids what matters to them. Not what matters to you. We talked about: Purpose Dreams Monthly and daily goals Asking questions instead of lecturing You don't build resilience by talking at kids. You build it by engaging them. 4️⃣ Character > Highlight Reels You can recruit talent. Or you can develop it. You can chase wins. Or you can build people. The scoreboard isn't the ultimate measure. Character is. Resources Mentioned GaryThrapp.com BeyondTheBaseline.net The Wild World of Youth Sports (Available on Amazon) 9a8ef877-a0eb-478f-9c46-23d2842… Leading Winning Teams (Trent M. Clark)
