Celebrations Disney Podcast

As the Magic Kingdom puts up its Halloween decorations, we once again marvel at how seamlessly, and magically, the parks and resorts transition from one season to the next. Christmas and Halloween are definitely the most elaborate, but they are from the only occasions in which the parks take on a new vibe.

So sit back, relax, and join us as we talk about the seasonal changes at Walt Disney World!

We're familiar with the Florida parks and resorts, but as we all know there are other Disney destinations around the world. Once again, our good friend Jonathan Goodman has been doing some globe trotting, and has just returned from a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disneyland, two places to which I have never been…

So sit back, relax, and joins us as Jonathan takes us on a virtual trip around the globe!

This 2026 D23 event was certainly exciting, with plenty of announcements and updates about the parks. New details, new reveals, new visuals, and yes, a few surprises along the way! Like kids in a candy store, we as Disney fans were super excited, and now we get the chance to share our thoughts.

So sit back, relax, and join us as talk about the exciting announcements from D23!

We all have our favorite Disney characters. And we have reasons why we like them. We might even invite them to dinner if we could. But what if I asked you who you'd like to visit the parks with, or who would make the best Skipper on the Jungle Cruise? Well, that's another story entirely, but it does make for a fun game.

So sit back, relax, and join us as we play a game of Which Character!

Adventureland. Frontierland. Tomorrowland. In the world of Disney parks, "land" has its own special meaning. It's not just a place, it's an experience. A themed world filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of exotic locations near and far – and sometimes imagined. Tonight, we're going to explore new lands that are on the way, and a few that live on in our memories.

So sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the lands of Walt Disney World!

Hop on board as we take a boat ride down some of the most mysterious and exotic rivers in the world, rivers that go on for Niles and Niles and Niles. If you don't believe me you're in…a boat on the Jungle Cruise of course! Don't worry folks, the jokes are just getting started. (Apologies in advance!)

Are you ready? Then sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the history, the mystery, and yes, the humor of the Jungle Cruise!

Food and Disney go together like peanut butter and jelly. Like bacon and eggs. Like…well, you get the idea. And there are lots of snacks that we associate with certain attractions, like the Citrus Swirl and the Enchanted Tiki Room. But we think there may be some other missed opportunities for the perfect pairing…

So sit back, relax, and join us as talk about snack carts we'd like to see at Walt Disney World!

With Toy Story 5 in theaters as we speak (and before you panic, there will be no spoilers tonight so don't worry) we thought this would be a great time to reflect on all of our favorite moments with Buzz, Woody, Rex, Slinky Dog, and the rest of the round up gang. We got to get this wagon train a-movin'...

So sit back, relax, and join us as we celebrate our favorite Toy Story moments!

The past few years have seen many changes come to Walt Disney World, most recently the announcement that the Carousel of Progress will be getting a major update. Change of course is inevitable, and while it might bring with it a tinge of nostalgic sadness, it's also filled with the promise of something new.

So sit back, relax, and join us as we take a look back at some of our favorite refurbishments in Walt Disney World!

What is it about Walt Disney World that keeps us coming back? The attractions? The characters? The food? Well, it's all of that, but it's actually so much more. It's the magic. Now, we say that a lot, but what do we mean by that? Tonight we're going to explore that very topic with our good friend and photographer extraordinaire, Collin Kendall, who has a beautiful new book, "The Storybook Project."

So sit back, relax, and join us as we explore a Storybook of Disney Magic!
