Main and Magic Podcast

Today we're going to talk about Walt Disney World attractions that you have to experience during the day AND the night. These are the attractions we think present a different experience in the daylight and after dark. And joining me is Disney mom, friend, travel advisor and minute by minute itinerary lover Katie Fisher from Pictures and Postcards Travel.

This is the 2nd episode in our Cast Member stories series and I sit down with Nic Swader to discuss his experience on the Walt Disney World College Program in fall 2016.

We talk about how his initial love for Disney grew into a desire to work at Walt Disney World, some of the behind the scenes info of his work location at Space Mountain and what he loved most about it.

We also dive into a very cool and special experience he had trying out for and being cast in one of the Disney Parks most honored holiday traditions, the Candlelight Processional. He shares about his audition experience, what celebrity narrators he got to sing with and the excitement this honor brought to his family and friends.

This episode starts our Cast Member stories series. I knew when I started this podcast that I wanted to include personal stories and experiences from disney cast members. We all know that the attractions and characters are great, but it's the cast members that are the real magic makers.

Walt Disney himself knew this and was deeply dedicated to the ideas of service and show. That is why at each of the kingdoms around the world you'll find a casting agency door with the quote "it takes people to make the dream a reality." It is an everlasting tribute to each and every cast member making magic around the world. See if you can find it on main street next time you visit!

For this inaugural episode of the series I'm joined by my longtime friend Katie Fisher from Pictures and Postcards Travel and we sit down and talk about her experience on the Walt Disney World College Program in fall 2001.

We talk about how she found out about the program, what inspired her to apply and what her role was like.

She recounts how 9/11 affected her program, and how, with a little Disney magic she reconnected with a long lost childhood friend.

This week I'm joined once again by my longtime friend and preferred Disney travel advisor Katie Fisher from Pictures and Postcards Travel and we sit down and talk about what to do on arrival day at Walt Disney World.

Whether you're taking the first plane out for an early arrival or you're skidding onto property after a very long drive, we know you're ready to get your vacation started right away. 

We talk about the importance of getting acquainted with your resort, unique exploring opportunities and experiences outside the WDW parks, an overlooked place to get some epic photos, and even how you could spend a half day in the park for just a few extra dollars per person!

This week I'm joined by my longtime friend and preferred Disney travel advisor Katie Fisher from Pictures and Postcards Travel and we sit down and ask, do you remember? as we reminisce about our earliest Disney Park Memories. We dive into our first impressions and experiences in the parks, what deeply impacted us, what we miss most and silly moments that still stand out today. 

Just a few of the attractions we chat about are Mission to Mars, the Skyway to Fantasyland, the Frontierland Stunt Show, Spectromagic, the Imagination pavilion with Figment and Dreamfinder, Body Wars the Great Movie Ride, Catastrophy Canyon and snorkeling with sharks?!
