In today’s video, we wrap up our day at Magic Kingdom! We take a jolly ride on the Jingle Cruise (also known as Jungle Cruise). Afterwards, we head to Main Street to catch our first viewing of Magic Kingdom’s newest fireworks: Disney’s Enchantment. We really enjoyed the show, especially the effects up and down Main Street! Afterwards, there’s still some time before the park closes, so we hit up Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, Under the Sea Journey of the Little Mermaid, Barnstormer, and Haunted Mansion before calling it a night. We hope you enjoyed the second half of our day at Magic Kingdom. Stay tuned for more Holiday fun coming at you soon! Thanks so much for watching and as always, keep on wishing!

Celebrating Disney World’s 50th Anniversary at Magic Kingdom!

If you liked this video, please consider giving it a like and subscribing to our channel! 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdnRV4_Cg-dqd_s94o-hHwQ

In today’s video, We spend the day exploring Magic Kingdom! We take some time to admire both the 50th decorations and Christmas decorations up and down Main Street. Then, it’s time to enjoy our favorite snack, the Adventureland Spring Rolls! They have a new 50th inspired Spring Roll, and we give a tiny review of our thoughts on this snack. Afterwards, it’s time to head over to Tomorrowland and enjoy some of our favorite attractions there: Peoplemover and Carousel of Progress. The weather starts to turn, so we run over to Adventureland to visit our favorite Pirates on Pirates of the Caribbean. We take a short Dole Whip break, and enjoy another 50th anniversary addition – the Showtime with José Mango Dole Whip Float. Obviously, you can’t have a Dole Whip and NOT visit the Tiki Room, so that’s what we decide to do next! Finally, it’s time to head to our dinner reservation over at Whispering Canyon Cafe. We hope you enjoyed the first half of our day at Magic Kingdom. Stay tuned for part 2 and for a dining review of Whispering Canyon! Thanks so much for watching and as always, keep on wishing!

Can we Tell You How to Get to Sesame Place?: https://youtu.be/rJ7qCgBVNVo Sesame Place Vlogs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJbtmXqJDYV61Jru0qsP67g3XAwm8Fy0S

In today’s video, we take you to Sesame Place for The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular! The Halloween fun starts as soon as we arrive. The entire area is decorated for the season, and right away we get to see the Neighborhood Street Party Halloween Parade. We were so impressed by this show! There were so many floats and characters, and the music was so much fun! It’s the perfect way to see all of your favorite Sesame Street friends in one place! Next, we spend some time Trick-or-Treating around the park. There were plenty of Trick-or-Treat stations around, and all of the treats were included in the price of admission! We decided the adults needed a little treat too, so we headed over to the Garden Grill that was serving up some delicious beverages! We got to try the Spooky Punch and the Freaky OJ. They also had adult beverages for purchase, and cookie decorating for the kids! Then, it was time for our reservation to Dine with Elmo & Friends! This was a great little character meal, with an all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet, plus physically distant meet and greets with Elmo, Abby Cadabby, and The Count, and a dance party! Afterwards, it was time to take a stab at the Sesame Scarecrow Scavenger Hunt. The goal is to find all 6 scarecrows around the park and count the number of crows! Then, you get to redeem your scavenger hunt finds for a special prize. Finally, it was time to go home. We had a great time at this event, and Sesame Place really went all out for the season! The best part is that all of this is included in your regular day admission, except for the Character Dine-in meal. It’s a great option for those in the Philadelphia area to celebrate Halloween. If you’ve been to The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular, let us know in the comments! Thanks so much for watching, and as always, keep on wishing!

A Day Full of Adventures at Magic Kingdom

If you liked this video, please consider giving it a like and subscribing to our channel! 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdnRV4_Cg-dqd_s94o-hHwQ

In today’s video, we spend the day at Disney’s Magic Kingdom! We spend some time admiring the fall decorations before traversing over to our favorite cart next to Adventureland: The Spring Roll Cart! We decide to have both the Cheeseburger and Buffalo Chicken spring rolls, and they are both so delicious. We highly recommend a stop here if you’ve never tried them before. After lunch, we decide to take a voyage down the river on Jungle Cruise, and we get to admire all of the new scenes (and jokes) that have been recently added to this attraction. After a brief coffee break, it’s time for the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness at Big Thunder Mountain, but not before we see some drama unfold at Splash Mountain. Then, it’s back to Adventureland to check in with some of our favorite pirates on Pirates of the Caribbean. It was a super short wait, and we had fun finding Jack Sparrow throughout the attraction. Since we’re already in Adventureland, why not take a break from the heat with our favorite singing birds at Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room! This is one of our favorite attractions, and you need to see this show if you’ve never tried it before! We end this video with a Dole Whip and a trek over to Tomorrowland! We hope you enjoyed this video. We look forward to bringing you the second half of our Magic Kingdom day very soon. Thanks so much for watching and as always, keep on wishing!

Episode 10: The Disney Holiday Wrap-Up

Can you believe it? We’ve reached 10 episodes! That’s ten weeks spent recording and editing – and loving every minute of it! This week’s episode is another fairly even split, with the first half covering the remainder of the important news – including two unfortunate incidents at Magic Kingdom, an update on “infantile” Star Wars merch, Disney movie milestones, and resort/DVC news. The second half covers what to do during the holidays in the final two parks in our Holiday In the Parks series – Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom.

To the listeners and fans, to all the family and friends who have subscribed and given us encouragement as we go along, THANK YOU! We are overjoyed to share our Disney passion with you all.

Episode 7: No Spoilers, For Goodness’ Sake

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!
