    Ep. 74 |Evolution of Disney Costumed Characters
    Oct 13 2025
    EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
    Costumed Characters have been dazzling Disney guests for generations, but their appearances weren’t always as magical as the friends we greet today. Early park visitors encountered some rather peculiar outfits, with Mickey and pals looking surprisingly different from the beloved icons we now know. Over time, those costumes evolved, transforming into the lifelike, photo-ready characters that make every Disney trip unforgettable. From whimsical beginnings to cutting-edge character magic, this journey is one for the storybooks.

We’ll explore the hidden adult-only lounges, upscale dining like Palo and Remy, and even private beaches at Castaway Cay that most first-timers don’t realize exist. With insights into honeymoon-worthy experiences, solo escapes, and how Disney balances family magic with grown-up luxury, this conversation will surprise you. Joining us is our special guest Shannon from our Discord community, who shares her firsthand perspective on sailing Disney without kids.

  • Ep. 71 | Should Walt Be Featured In Movies

    Ep. 71 | Should Walt Be Featured In Movies
    Sep 22 2025
    EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
    On this episode, we ask a fascinating question: should Walt Disney himself appear more often in Disney movies? With films like Saving Mr. Banks giving audiences a rare glimpse into the man behind the magic, our hosts dive into whether his story should take center stage more often—or if his legacy is better left in the parks, archives, and documentaries. We explore the challenges of portraying such a larger-than-life figure, how audiences respond when Disney is shown on screen, and what it means for the brand when the focus shifts from fairy tales to the man who created them.
