Disney Solo Magic: The podcast about the *magic* of going to Disney World solo!

Bring the Universal Studios to your kitchen!

Author Ashley Craft has written the 'The Unofficial Universal Theme Parks Cookbook' (Adams Media) and in this conversation we talk all about it! We talk about her process, the Universal food scene, and why this book only has 75+ recipes (hint: feel free to contact her for the other 20+!).

Interested in going to DISNEYLAND solo over the next month? I talk to Sometimes Castles about the upcoming CHOC (Children's Health Orange County) Walk at Disneyland on August 2nd and how you can participate as a walker or as a donor from afar. And Solos, DONATE!

We also talk about the end of the 70th Anniversary celebrations at Disneyland, D23, and yes, Halloween even though it is only July!

Follow Sometimes Castles for all the Disneyland news and to WATCH a live stream of the CHOC Walk on August 2.

A 13 year old nephew, wildfire smoke, and a cold has equaled another week "break." Episode will be out THIS Thursday!

Is Disney relaxing? Is one solo day worth it? Do I feel lonely on my solo trips? Am I worried my stuff is going to get stolen? Would I recommend the Swan and Dolphin?

I answer these questions and more in this 100the episode! It is a long one, hopefully it was worth the wait!

Blame the heat!

Blame Mercury! Its retrograde!

It is the 99th episode! And in that *spirit!* I want to use the Haunted Mansion as an analogy of why Disney allows you to meet your ghosts and spirits and socialize with them in ways that "cleans out the attic" and makes room for new stories. I love that for you!

There was some big news about Disney transportation this week, but it shouldn't stop you from visiting other resorts while you're there solo! Where should you go? What should you eat? I cover it all in this episode!

Y'all, it has been a WEEK! So where do I think about when I'm longing for some quiet time at Disney?

In this episode, I identified some peaceful spots across all the parks, plus Disney Springs and the resorts, that may be overlooked by many guests. Check them out next time you're there! ✨🏰🌿

Should you... stay at a Disney hotel? ... rent a car? ... get a preferred room at a Disney hotel? ... get Memory Maker? ... bring your own toiletries? ... mobile check-in? ... get a resort mug? ... avoid telling the resort staff you're solo? ... mobile order?

I weigh in on all these questions to help you make the best decision for you on your solo trip to Disney World!
