Most theme park restaurants often offer a variety of food options, including quick-service meals, sit-down dinners, and snacks. Many of those restaurants are themed to match the overall themed area of the park, and may feature décor and atmosphere that is designed to immerse guests in the park's theme. Some theme park restaurants also offer special dining experiences, such as character meals or dinners with live entertainment. But for a long time the reputation of the food was poor. Over time, Disney has changed the way we look at theme park food. They offer varied and well-crafted options, with a range of dishes that are prepared with care and attention to detail. They put quality higher on the list than other parks, making the experience more pleasant. Most of the time a Disney restaurant will offer different dietary preferences and allergies. Those efforts have made Disney different from their competition. Both parks at Disneyland offer a lot of these kinds of options, so this can make it hard to decide which one is the best. In this episode Rachel and Jeremiah discuss which options work when you need a bite to eat but does not require a reservation. Those fast casual options can be critical in having a great experience. Come listen to what they feel is your best option when visiting Disneyland Resort. Our final top 6: Disneyland Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo Rancho del Zocalo French Market Restaurant

Dance may have been used as a tool of social interaction that promoted cooperation essential for survival among early humans. Dance has been an important part of ceremony, rituals, celebrations and entertainment since before the birth of the earliest human civilizations. Many dances of the early periods were performed as a ritual to the Gods who ancestors believed needed to be kept entertained for world peace. Dancing today is still used for many of those types of expressions.

Dance has been used many times in film, and Disney has produced tons of iconic dancing moments. You have the timeless dance between Bell and the Beast, to Wall-E showing his love for EVE by spinning around in space. These classic scenes have been in our lives for many years and will continue to bring us enjoyment over time.

In this episode of Mouse House Weekly Rachel and Jeremiah are joined once again by their daughter Elizabeth. During this podcast they will be comparing 16 of these dance sequences in a friendly bracket style competition. Which dance scene did they like? Join in on this fun conversation and be sure to download the bracket and play along.

After many years of licensing and streaming rights, the 2008 cartoon series The Spectacular Spider-Man, is not only available to stream on Netflix, but also on Disney+. That finally gives Blake a reason to force JJ to watch it, and allow an hour episode of Mouse House Weekly to exist all about the series. So in this week's episode, Blake and JJ are talking about the first season of arguably the best representation of Spider-Man ever.

After talking about what they've done Disney lately, they jump into the discussion. JJ, having not seen any standalone Spider-Man media (to the point that he doesn't know Spider-Man's origin story), JJ is coming in with nearly no knowledge as to the character of Spider-Man. So in the discussion, we talk about how the show represent Peter Parker's personal and social life, Spider-Man's heroics and villains, and some of the best episodes and moments throughout the show, hearing the perspectives from a Spider-Man fanatic, and someone who is completely unfamiliar with the character. In the end, we talk about whether or not we'd recommend the show, or if it deserves a continuation after its unexpected cancellation. So swing right on in, and check out this SPECTACULAR episode of Mouse House Weekly!

Did you watch Spectacular Spider-Man? Can you watch it? Please? What are your thoughts on the show? Let us know, and connect with us at Mouse House Weekly, we'd love to discuss with you!
