  • Episode 31 - Being a Disney World Cast Member!
    May 16 2025

    Well, this is a fun one! Andrew and I talk to our Beatrice Beadizfan about the joys of working as a cast member at the happiest place on earth!!!! I mean be honest, no matter our station in life, we all secretly pine to work for the Mouse! It's possible that it's just me, but I do think there is a fascination for those of us on the outside to know all the secrets and philosophies behind Disney's staffing and managing the folks who make all the magic! We each have at least one story of someone at the parks going above and beyond to make our vacation perfect! And it must be amazing to be the one who gets to make that happen!


    So enjoy listing to some tails from the behind the Utili-doors and don't forgot to join us each week Tuesday-ish, LIVE in the chat to ask your own questions and share your, MOSTLY, Disney Stories!

  • Episode 30 - Disney Resort Hotels...History and Reviews
    May 12 2025

    I try...I really do. I wanted to get this up on Friday, if for no other reason that to keep me on a schedule. But life keeps getting in the way. However, if I get the newsletter up tomorrow (please subscribe) then I will be back on track. Then I can fall behind again next week!


    But on this episode Andrew and I run through, sort of chronologically, the history of the Walt Disney World Hotels. We talk a little about building them, a little bit about design and planning and then some reviews of what we like and don't like sprinkled in.


    It's a fun one and you can be part of these episodes each week in the chat! So check all the socials for the schedule and come talk a little Disney with us!

  • Episode 29 - Ken Bruce Author of "Before the Birds Sang Words!"
    May 4 2025

    This was a really amazing opportunity for our little podcast and an episode you absolutely do not want to miss!!!


    Ken Bruce has written the most incredible book about Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room! It is chock full of stories and info that was shockingly new to me, and I feel like I have read a lot of Disney books! You really should stop reading this and go order the book. You can thank me later!!!!


    Andrew and I spent over an hour just chatting away and I really could have gone on for at least one more! From the genesis of the attraction, to Walt making changes along the way and right down to which is the best Tiki Room...you'll have to listen to find out!


    And if you've not familiar with Ken, he's also an legendary animator who's worked for Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks...seriously...Google him! He's incredible! And now I'd like to think he's a friend!


    So find a quiet spot, sit back and enjoy! And if you feel the urge, maybe leave us a little review wherever you podcast!


    If you do, maybe Ken will come back!!!!

  • Episode 28 - Father Daughter Trip to Disney and 5 Parks in One Day!
    May 1 2025

    Better late than never! And we missed a week which I am sincerely sorry . I will try to do better!

    But the reason for a week with no show was because both Andrew and I were in Disney on our regular night! We actually met in real life. Neither of us AI…so that’s something! We had a wonderful meal at Kona Cafe at Disney's Polynesian and a great time was had by all!

    Join us for this episode where we talk about both of our trips, as well as some of our ever popular opinions about Disney stuff! (Popular might be a strong word!)

    It's like hanging out with us on a Sunday night on the front porch swing and enjoying the late evening Disney breeze. Maybe there's a train or ferry whistle off in the distance!

    I’ll bring lemonade!

  • Episode 27 - Epic Universe vs Disney World Showdown!!!
    Apr 19 2025

    Well, it's not quite a cage match, but this week Andrew and compare and contrast Apples and Churos! I have never been to Universal (cue gasp) so it's completely unfair of me to give my opinion...but I am going to do it anyway! I will also state for the record that I am in no way against Universal parks and am truly looking forward to going and taking it all in.


    But until that happens, you are stuck with us just speculating wildly! So have fun, dear listener, and maybe let us know if you love Universal, or is there only room in your heart for one park!

This week we talk to Moose Moran, a certified collecting expert who runs through what collecting is, whether it's about financial gain or personal joy and maybe even how to get it all organized!
