Many big things are happening in the news this week as a major change happens in Disney leadership, the Corona epidemic starts to affect Disney, and some eventful things happen with a couple rides in Disney World! We take a break from our newest Disney Park Exploration series to explore the Food & Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure.

We are back with our final episode of 2019, where we instead flip the focus on upcoming 2020. For housekeeping, we have a small update to our April trip, and give a spoiler-free review of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Our news items for 2020 include a potential FastPass Upcharge system to be rolled out alongside Disney’s trip planning application, some of the movies and shows coming to screens this year, and information regarding the Avenger’s Campus which is set to open this summer in Disney California Adventure. Our final 2019 show comes to a close with a discussion that focuses on some of our New Year’s “resolutions” (strictly Disney-related)!

Finally: we would be remiss if we didn’t take a moment to reflect on our year, and how far we’ve come in so short a time, and say THANK YOU to all the friends and family who have supported us on this endeavor! Your encouragement is always appreciated. Here’s to a great year, and another on the horizon. Happy New Year, everyone!

Episode 8 is here at last! We start by giving thanks to a listener. Following this, our brief Disney + update sparks a discussion on where Disney gets their ideas. In the news, we remark on a Star Wars item that may or may not currently be on the shelf in Hollywood Studios. Nearby, the new Star Wars ride is set to have its opening live-streamed. In the meantime, Disney faces an anti-trust complaint overseas as a chart-topping box office movie finds success. The episode is finalized with a brief review of what one might do in EPCOT this year, during the winter holiday season.

It can’t be stressed enough: we are so thankful for all of our listeners, (both new and returning). Your positive feedback and well wishes warms our hearts, and continues to inspire us on this journey.

We are back with Episode 7, and boy is it a doozy! To start, (in what we’re apparently still calling the Housekeeping section), we give an update on what we’ve now watched on Disney +, and also share our brief opinions on a movie we saw over the weekend. Up next, Epcot’s 4th annual (almost 40-day-long) Festival of the Arts starts in January, and boasts fun activities, Broadway musicians, and great food. The remainder of this week’s episode starts our December mini-series, where we explore how one might enjoy spending the winter holidays in each park. In this episode, Jenn paints a portrait of the sights and sounds of the Magic Kingdom in wintertime, and we review all the delectable treats the kingdom has to offer.

As always, to all of you; our friends and family, who continue to tune in every week, thank you for your continued support! We appreciate each of you, and are so glad you are giving us a listen!

Who would have thought that we’d already be at episode number 5! Welcome, one and all! In this week’s housekeeping, we are very excited to announce our upcoming “family” trip, next April. Following this, the first story is one that will break the internet – literally! With the release of Disney Plus looming, we learn all about what we can come to expect, regarding shows, pricing, and bundles! Chestnuts roast on open fires, as we discuss some more fresh-announced Holiday shows and merchandise. We end the episode by putting a neat bow on the final day of our recent September trip; where Jenn and her mother took a jaunt through Animal Kingdom, before heading home.

And of course, we never want to neglect the opportunity to say how overwhelmingly grateful we are, to have listeners as awesome as you. It brings us boundless joy to know you are out there! Thank you!
