Ep 228. The One with Jenn's Takes


LISTEN TO THE SHOW

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!!

Ep 225. The One with Bougie & Budget Swag

 LISTEN TO THE EP HERE!!

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!

Ep 224. The One with Would You Rather

LISTEN TO THE SHOW!!!

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.

And finally, would you rather be at Disneyland opening day, or Walt Disney World's opening day... opening attractions at Magic Kingdom and Epcot... and the E-Ticket books.
