Episode 74: Disney Trip Prep - 30 Days Out

We felt like it was time for another entry into our "Disney Trip Prep" Series with a 30 Days Out episode. There's not a ton of "official" activities to do at this marker, but there's still some vital planning that can be done. It's too early to pack (unless you're Abbie), but you can count how many "good" ponchos you have. We're talking UV umbrellas, ride priority lists, and so much more!

Episode 73: Just Can't Wait To Be 30

Two animated Disney properties in back to back episodes? That's right we did! This week, it's The Lion King's 30th anniversary, so we felt obligated to talk about the classic animated flick and it's impact on the movie industry and the Disney Parks. We also talk about a service that every DVC or Annual Passholder should consider using and take a look at the news around the parks.

Episode 72: It's Raining Snowmen!

We hope the cold doesn't bother you because you're about to get Frozen! We're chipping through all the layers of ice to take a look at the franchise that set off an entertainment ice age. We're going around the world to look at all versions of the Frozen ride in the Disney parks, including the new Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey in Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea.

Episode 70: The Hall of Presidents Is Boring

This week, we talked about our Top 3 Disney World rides that need to be refurbished. It's not that we don't like them, but we think they could use some sprucing up. Did any of your faves make the list? We also talk about the drone show coming to Disney Springs and some impressions from strangers about DreamWorks Land in Universal Studios.

Episode 69: Bayou Breakin' Idols.

We had some breaking news on this week's episode! We have an opening date for Tiana's Bayou Adventure in Walt Disney World!!! The only people not happy about this are the producers of American Idol. It's also Halfway to Halloween, so we cover the new additions to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. We're also talking Abe Lincoln and what was found below Universal Studios.

Episode 68: Love & Carbonite

With us being a couple and another Star Wars Day just completed, we wanted to talk about the iconic love (or lack thereof) of Leia Organa and Han Solo. We wanted to take a closer look into the "I love you"/"I know" shirts we see couples wearing around the Disney Parks. Were Han and Leia in a healthy relationship? What other actresses were almost cast as our beloved Princess? Is there a difference between Carbonite and Kryptonite? Answers to all these questions and more lie ahead for you!

Episode 67: Terror in a Tower...with Figment

Hollywood Studios is turning 35 this week (meaning it's just figuring itself out and has a new air of confidence), so we thought we'd talk about its most iconic attraction, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. We're plunging up and down this thrill ride to get you all the facts we can muster and we share our first times entering the 5th Dimension. Plus, we answered some listener questions. Will there be a new festival to cover the gap between Flower & Garden into Food & Wine? Do newly filed permits mean that Journey Into Imagination with Figment is closing???

Episode 66: We've Got Mono...Rails

Almost as important as what you do in the parks, you have to know how to get there. This week, we talked about the iconic Disney Monorail. Could you imagine a world without the Monorail? I don't want to and ,thankfully, you could ride them in 3 different Disney Parks. Can you name all three? And no, you're not allowed to Google it. On top of the transpo talk, we've got news and a lot of Abbie submissions for DHE listener names.
