The Main Street Electrical Podcast: A Disney Podcast

In the 231st episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are here to talk all about those first time guests to Disney World! 

First, Jenn and Dave both are getting their holiday fashions ready, though both are very different styles... then a little news, including the newest Harry Potter area in Epic Universe, and a chat about whether Disney will match the immersion of Epic. 

Then, runDisney Princess Medals... Premier Pass sells out... Yacht Club holiday decor... and ahead of Jenn's "shakedown sailing", a Disney Treasure reveal

Finally, tips and tricks and thoughts on first time visitors to Disney World.  The planning, learning the lingo, asking for help, being flexible... whether a large or small family, kids or no kids, the obvious things to do, and things that may not be as obvious. 

If you are heading down for the first time to WDW -- and even to Universal Studios -- this is a great episode to take notes on!  

In the 230th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are talking Disney movies, Disney history, and Disney movie history today.

In a slow news week, Jenn is making plans for her upcoming New Years Eve trip to WDW, while Dave is set for more Star Wars Legos.... plus picking up a copy of "The Good Dinosaur", which leads to a discussion of the chaos in Dave's media shelf and Phil Collins going super hard on the Tarzan soundtrack.

Then, going all the way back to "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", they put a spotlight on each of the seven known era of Disney animation - Golden, Wartime, Silver, Bronze, Renaissance, Post Ren, and Revival - plus, creating a new era for the latest batch of films.

They list their favorites from each era, some nostalgia with some, and even a few they don't care for as much ("Black Cauldron" alert!), plus lots of random trivia and Disney animation tidbits along the way.  

In the 229th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are ready for the holiday season!   First, the question of "How many Christmas trees does Jenn have in her home?" is answered, as well as Dave's cleaning dilemma before putting up the tree in his home. 

Then, a great look at the Christmas happenings at Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios, plus the resorts and Disney Springs!  

An overview of the Festival of the Holidays... the Frozen Holiday Surprise in MK... a Deluxe Resort holiday display checklist... the Gingerbread Spaceship Earth... and lamenting the loss of some of our fave Holiday 

In the 228th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave finally reunite via Zoom after Jenn's world travels comes to an end (and by "world's travels", we mean 10 days and two places).

Both are booking trips and planning with their clients, and after Jenn sharing a little of her last few weeks, they check out and discuss some of the latest Disney topics, including the Gingerbread House structure showing up... a Jellyrolls rumor... new tiki mugs... Christmas Party updates... Chester & Hester... and refurbishing the Swan & Dolphin.

And then, Dave recaps a few of the biggest stories over the last few weeks, giving Jenn the chance to finally weigh in on things like Epic Universe's opening date... the Premier Pass announcements (and controversy)... and a listener review of the Cake Bake shop.

And finally, Jenn's Perfect Disney Day, takes us all over the parks and back!  Thank you for one of the biggest months in the podcast's history!!

In the 227th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are still waiting to reconnect on the show, as Jenn is away one more week - this time in Mexico!  So Dave invites back fan fave and 3rd co-host #KylaKylaKyla to the show! 

Both are trying to find the right outfits for the upcoming Jollywood Nights happening at Hollywood Studios, including celebrating National Crocs Day.

The news is aplenty, including Epic Universe's opening date... Epcot's Candlelight Processional's dining packages revealed... Disney's Annual Pass costs goes up... Disney releases Military discounts... all of 2025 is now available... Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party dates... and the Cake Bake responds to pricing... plus how the optics look for Disney's prices going up...

Then, Kyla and Dave go through their Perfect Disney Day... what time of year to go... which resort to wake up in... which attractions to rope drop and which ones to get in Lightning Lane?

Plus, drinks to be had, food to be eaten, snacks to be snacked... and finally, what to do at night before the park closes.  What makes your perfect Disney day at each park?!

In the 226th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Kyla & Dave are in studio this time around, as Upon a Star Jenn and Quasi-Producer Heather, aka The Moana Mom, are at a Disney Conference (and will be back next week!) A loaded show today, full of news and reviews, including upcoming vacation plans... Universal rumored Epic dates... Big Thunder Mountain closing... DinoLand closing... Jingle Cruise opening... holiday happenings at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom... 

Then a rundown of the just released Candlelight Processional narrators! 

Disney has also just released information about the Lightning Lane Premier Pass, and we discuss the pros and cons, and why people shouldn't be worried about the pricing.

Finally, Kyla gives her review of the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party -- the food, the merch, the crowds, the atmosphere and more! 

In the 225th episode The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are carefully watching Hurricane Milton as it rolls through the gulf (at the time of recording).

In this episode, they do a recap of WDW and Universal closings (as of Wednesday afternoon) and what to watch for during the hurricane.  Also, check out Ep 223, when they do talk hurricane prep at Disney! Then, both discuss some of the work done as Travel Advisors to help clients adjust their trips for this week.

The Lightning McQueen Racing Academy has closed, so that does deserve a mention... then, a look at the new Cake Bake Shop and bakery opening up at Boardwalk some time in the near future -- and the menu that has been revealed. And the insane pricing, of which both Jenn & Dave have a theory on.

Finally, a look at some of the experiences you can do, and swag you can take home, whether you have lots of money to plunk down... or just a little. 

You can spend a ton of money at the Boutique, or bring your own dresses. Drop a couple a'hunna for a saber... or spend $35 on a smaller version.  Designer ears vs regular ears, Avatar figures and mini figures and more, as they take a look at souvenirs you can pick up for a little or a lot! 

In the 224th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave ask the hard hitting questions... like, would you rather be stuck on It's a Small World for 3 hours, with the music looping... or stuck on Frozen Ever After for 3 hours, with Elsa singing "Let It Go" -- this is our round of "Would You Rather"! First... Jenn is renewing while Dave is setting up his 2nd annual Father/Son Disney trip for next summer.  

Then, a look at the new promos that just dropped for Disney, and all the savings that come with it.

And then, a series of "Would You Rather..." questions... choosing between Club 33 and the Cinderella Royal Suite... Mr Toad or Splash... 24 hours in a park... free snacks or no lines... and what Jenn will - and won't - do for free Guardians.

In the 223rd episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave squeeze in some recording time to bring a handful of the latest headlines!

Jenn is getting ready for another voyage, while Dave is knocking off his Rescuer movies, and both are ready for Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios -- including the GLISTEN ice skating thing, whatever it actually is.

Also, Star Lord is returning to Epcot... the Halloween Party is sold out... Inside Out 2 is streaming... a look at the new Glimmering Greenhouse Behind the Seeds Tour at Living with the Land, plus a Hidden Mickey Rabbit trail.. 

Finally, they give some tips and thoughts on riding out a hurricane while at WDW - pack your patience and be nice to Cast Members!!!

It's a random back and forth between the two hosts tossing out the headlines and giving the latest! 

In the 222nd episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are joined again by fan favorite Kyla, as they get their Taylor Swift on and address Disney's "Blank Spaces". First up, Jenn uncovered a treasure trove of Disney swag in her closets, while Dave is chasing some movie goals and catching up on some Disney films on his to-be-watched list. Then, the trio chats about the RUMOR (only just RUMOR) that Universal may get rid of their Marvel rights, and what Disney might do with it were they to get it. RUMOR!! Finally, Dave, Jenn, & Kyla look around the WDW Resort and address four glaringly empty (or may become empty) spots -- the old DisneyQuest building, Epcot's Wonders of Life pavilion, Hollywood Studios' Launch Bay, and the empty round theater of Stitch's Great Escape and Alien Encounter -- and do a little Blue Sky dreaming about what might go in each of those.

From character meet n greet spots to Disney history walkthroughs to shows to theater shows and much more, as we let the creative juices flow.   Thanks for listening!!!
