TDR Now Travel Podcast for Theme Park Fans

Hey Explorers! This week in episode 153 of the TDR Now Podcast, we talk all about Christmas at Tokyo Disney Resort. We talk about what we like, what we didn't like, and of course tons of discussion about the food. Also, we have a special segment this episode where we head over to the Teddy Roosevelt Lounge to have a few cocktails.

Are you visiting any of the Disney Parks in Asia for the first time? Or, perhaps you’re visiting all three. There’s a lot to know and it becomes quite daunting as you begin your planning.

Also, giving her recommendations on what podcast episodes and blog posts she referenced the most to help before and during her trips to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Shanghai Disneyland!

I’m finally back from my trip to the US Disney Parks after being away for over a month. Watch my Instagram Story Highlights for Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort to see what I got up to for Halloween. From the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World. Followed by Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout! at Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort.

Trish and I talk about my entire trip from start to finish during the Halloween season on episode 149 of the TDR Now Podcast. We’ll discuss what I loved, what I didn’t, and sharing my overall experience and thoughts. Lots of talks about what I ate during the trip at both Resorts. My trip started off at Walt Disney World for 9 nights followed by Disneyland Resort for another 5 nights. We also talk about the new things I got to experience since my last trip back in 2012 to Walt Disney World and 2015 at Disneyland Resort.

Overall, the trip was brilliant and I had the most wonderful time during Halloween at both Resorts. It was fantastic to meet all the other Explorers at both Resorts during my visit. Thank you for stopping us to say “Hi!”
