Ep 84: More Food and Less Whine...With a Musical Twist

We're taking a trip around the world as we go over the ins and outs of the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival. We're talking treats and the beats as we rundown the list of performers at this year's Eat to the Beat Concert Series in the American Pavillion at EPCOT. As if that wasn't enough, we're all treated to a live performance of an original as yet untitled song sung by our very own Abbie. It's a musical treat for your eardrums.

Episode 83: Return of the Spooky Spicy Beignet

Is it spooky season already? Not really...unless you ask Disney... and the grocery stores. We're bouncing all around the parks with the latest news, but giving the Podineers a snack size portion of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. We're talking about the newest treats and giving you some tricks about going on the rides during the limited capacity event. I did think we forgot to talk about Elvis Stitch, but it's still worth a download. Thanks for listening!To reach out to Abbie and Rob, please head to their website. https://familytravelplanner.com
