It All Starts With A Wish

This week, we are joined by some special guests.... my nieces and nephew. They are getting ready to go on a trip to Walt Disney World. Listen as we chat about their upcoming trip, what they are most excited for, and so much more with some family antics thrown in there.

Please note: Because we were not filming in our normal location, the sound has a slight echo and is sometimes really loud. We did our best to work some of this stuff out in editing, but there was only so much we could do. We also apologize for one of our audience members who had a pen in her hand was clicking violently.

Listen as we discuss some of the free offerings you get at Disney World Resorts and the Parks. These FREE resources will make your stay much more enjoyable without worrying about stuffing supplies for your infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers into your luggage.

One of Rachel's favorite attractions is the Carousel of Progress. While that sinks in, give this episode a listen. We discuss the upcoming changes and improvements that are coming to this classic attraction. We'll let you know if there is "a great big beautiful tomorrow" for the Carousel of Progress!

One of Mark's favorite restaurants in Walt Disney World is Whispering Canyon Cafe. Listen as we review our past experiences eating at this BBQ-style restaurant with a flare for the hilarious.

We rate dining experiences upon five categories: theming/ambiance, food offerings, food quality, kid friendliness, and value. Listen and find out how we rank Whispering Canyon Cafe located at Disney's Wilderness Lodge.

When preparing for a Disney Trip, it is easy to be overwhelmed my all of the hyper-specific terms and acronyms that only a Disney expert would understand. MDE, LL, ADR, MCO, DVC, and the list goes on....

In this episode, we help you decode all of the specialized language to ensure you can "talk Disney."

One of our favorite FREE things to do at Walt Disney World is search for the illusive Hidden Mickey. Hidden Mickeys are all over the theme parks and resorts.

Listen as we discuss how you and your family can get in on the fun.

We highly suggest purchasing Hidden Mickeys: A Field Guide to Walt Disney World's Best Kept Secret - https://hiddenmickeyguy.com/buy-the-book/

[NOTE: Our dog decided to join in on our recording session. She is a loud snorer. We apologize for her snoring in the background (sounds like heavy breathing). We didn't realize this was being picked up by our microphone until we were editing the video. I tried adding a Noise Gate, but the Noise Gate needed to be so high it made the rest of the recording sound abnormal. SOOOO, we apologize for the background sound, but there was nothing we could do to fix it. Our dog has officially been banned from all future recordings.]

Well, after a brief hiatus, we have returned. Listen as we catch you up on all of the happenings in our life and at Walt Disney World.

This week we'll be tackling the question of would you rather. Listen and find out what we would rather do on our Disney vacation.

Walt said the parks are always in a state of "becoming." Well, 2026 will be no different. Listen as we discuss some of the changes coming to Disney World in 2026.

We've been asked by a lot of people, if Christmas festivities in Disney end on Christmas Day. Well, most things don't. Listen as we discuss what there is to see and do in Walt Disney World the week between Christmas and New Year's Day.
