1923 Main Street: Snow Skate Surf and Travel Style

Some Disney World Ride Entrances Draw You In, While Others, Not So Much

Should the entrance to a Disney ride draw you in and make you want to see what a ride's all about? We think so. And what about the ride line itself? Is a basic utility line good enough or should Disney Imagineers spend more time upping the quality of even more ride queues in Disney Parks?

In Episode 74 of The Disney Travel Podcast at 1923 Main Street we explore ride lines and ride entrances at Walt Disney World to determine which offer the best guest experience (while doing justice to the ride itself), and which could use some improvement. After all, the line is part of the overall ride experience and it helps to set the tone (and your mood) before you even board a ride or attraction.

Behind the Magic of Disney Attractions and Parks

Before Disney had enough movies and other programs that they could use as inspiration for rides and attractions, they had to find other ways to create the magic.

In Episode 73 of The Disney Travel Podcast at 1923 Main Street, we explore the fun stories behind several classic Disney attractions. You may be surprised where some of these rides actually have their roots.

You'll also discover that Disneyland was not Walt Disney's first idea for a Disney park.

Walt Disney World: Pick Your Paradise

Planning a Walt Disney World vacation is both fun and challenging at the same time, especially when it comes to picking the right hotel.

One way to make the whole process a little easier (and more fun) is to approach the Disney vacation planning process from a different angle. In Episode 71 of the Disney Travel Podcast at 1923 Main Street we share our tips for planning an immersive Disney vacation.

What's an Immersive Disney Vacation?

It starts with picking your hotel based on the theme that appeals to you the most. From there, you book dining and activities that keep with your theme. It doesn't mean you won't do other things as well, of course, but it does make it more fun and adds a very Disney-like immersive overlay to your Walt Disney World vacation.

Five Immersive Walt Disney World vacations

In this episode we cover:

• The Luxury Walt Disney World Vacation
• The Tropical Walt Disney World Vacation
• The Beach Walt Disney World Vacation
• The Euro Walt Disney World Vacation and
• The Rustic Walt Disney World Vacation

Which would you want to book?

Is Too Much Disney Branding a Bad Thing?

I think so and here's why.

Obviously Disney branding is going to be prominent (if not everywhere) in Disney Parks. After all, their Intellectual Property (IP) is what fans love and what drives the Disney economic engine.

But there is an increasing threat on the horizon that ironically the new Disney IP is displacing many historic Disney Parks icons that hearken back to the original magic that was, in fact, Disney.

In Episode 66 of the Disney Travel Podcast at 1923 Main Street, we take a closer look at exactly what is happening in Disney Parks and the risks that this presents to the Disney icons that actually created the magic in the first place. Not only that, this trend is working its way into classic Disney resort hotels. We've already lost Mizner's Lounge and the Boardwalk pool slide to Disney IP. So is Disney's immersive theming now at risk to overt branding consuming all that was Disney?

Join us for a lively discussion this week on the show.

Did You Know that Disney Has Three Oceanfront Beach Resorts?

When you think of a Disney vacation, chances are you'll picture theme parks, long lines and a fast pace. But not every Disney vacation is built around theme parks and major attractions.

One of the best kept secrets of Disney travel are Disney's three amazing oceanfront properties without a theme park in site. We're not talking about Imagineered beaches like Disney's Beach Club Resort (as great as that property is). So if you're a Disney fan and looking for a summer vacation featuring sun, sand and surf, this is the podcast episode for your.

The Magic of a Disney Beach Vacation

Join us for Episode 65 of The Disney Travel Podcast at 1923 Main Street where we take a brief look at the beaches of Disney's three oceanfront beach resorts:

• Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa (Oahu, Hawaii)
• Disney's Vero Beach Resort (Vero Beach, Florida)
• Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort (HHI, South Carolina)

If you love beaches we'll help you decide which of these magical Disney beach destinations is the right one for you.
