Should You Stay in the Disney Springs Resort Area?

The Disney Springs resort area at Walt Disney World is a very unique neighbourhood with a very different vibe than the other three major resort areas at Disney World.

With a combination of onsite Disney Deluxe Villas and offsite Good Neighbour hotels from which to choose, there are many accommodation options in this area. You may not be able to walk to a Disney theme park from here, but that is not necessarily a bad thing depending on what kind of Disney vacation you have in mind.

In Episode 89 of The Disney Travel Podcast at 1923 Main Street we explore the ins and outs of the Disney Springs Resort Area to help you decide whether this may be a good option for your next WDW vacation.

Is Disney Doing Enough to Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World?

With less than a month to go before the kick-off of Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary celebrations on October 1, we don't really know a lot about what Disney has planned to mark this momentous occasion.

Or do we?

With the big day almost upon us, Disney has release precious little details about what they may have planned to celebrate the golden anniversary of Walt Disney World. Beyond the overlay of Cinderella Castle and other park icons, and some new nighttime shows and golden statues, what does Disney plan to do to celebrate the occasion with guests?

Episode 88 Note:
As soon as we wrapped recording of this episode, Disney announced the new annual pass options for Walt Disney World. Sadly, a premium Lightning Lane option was not included, but we're still holding out hope that this will happen at some future date.

Is Disney Keeping 50th Anniversary Celebrations Under Wraps or Do They Have Nothing More Planned?

In Episode 88 of The Disney Travel Podcast at 1923 Main Street we explore what we know today and what we expect (or hope) may happen as the 50th Anniversary of The Most Magical Place on Earth quickly approaches. Join us for your weekly 30 minutes of Disney magic here at 1923 Main Street.

Three Amazing and Rather Shocking Stories from our Disney World Vacation

Our Walt Disney World vacation of August 2021 was challenging enough, as we visited WDW in the height of Covid and the Delta Variant. So to have all of this happen to us on top of dodging Coronavirus was definitely a challenged that tested our resolve.

A Follow-Up to Our Trip Report in from Episode 86

In our last episode we left you with a bit of a cliff hanger as to the impact that some of these stories had on the outcome of our August 2021 WDW vacation, so the time has come for us to share our stories here on the show.

Amazingly, the two biggest (and worst) stories of all are things that (thankfully) have never happened to us before. We truly hope that they never happen to you, but if they do, you can hear how we handled each one of these situations to hopefully help you out along the way.

So buckle up and join us for what was definitely the wildest ride in the wilderness that we've ever had at Walt Disney World (or on any vacation anywhere, for that matter). Hear why The Medical Concierge of Orlando should be avoided at all costs and how they take no accountability for botching medical services. This and more in Episode 87.

What's it Like Visiting Walt Disney World in the Midst of Covid?

Visiting Walt Disney World during times of Covid-19 and the Delta Variant is very different than any experience we have ever had at Walt Disney World. Of course we knew that that would be the case and so we adjusted our trip planning accordingly (which we covered in Episode 85 of The Disney Travel Podcast at 1923 Main Street).

In this episode, we share how our trip went, our experiences in the Disney Parks, resort hotels, Disney Springs and much more.

Should You Visit Walt Disney World in 2021?

We also answer several questions, including:

• How safe is indoor table service dining at Walt Disney World? 
• How many guests are wearing masks? 
• Are the parks really over-run with trash?
• Should you travel to Walt Disney World in 2021?

Join us for answers to all of these questions and many more about taking a Walt Disney World vacation in 2021.

Not Your Usual Walt Disney World Vacation

Planning a Walt Disney World vacation during covid is very different. With no FastPasses, limited park hopping and a desire to keep safe and healthy during our stay, we had to do a lot of things differently.

Plus, with not every resort hotel or restaurant fully available for booking, there are extra layers of things to consider. In Episode 85 of The Disney Travel Podcast at 1923 Main Street we share what we discovered as we worked hard to craft a unique Walt Disney World vacation that would work for our family.
