Ep 248. The One with the Star Wars Movie Rankings

 LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!!! 

In the 248th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are not hanging out here - because Jenn is in Epic Universe!

So d$ has invited in one of the best friends of the show, none other than THE Derek Frank! 

After a little chit-chat, including discussing the VIPassholders dining perks this summer, Derek and d$ give their own Star Wars stories and how they became life long fans.

Then, starting at 1977's original Star Wars, they rank all 12 theatrical films in the SW Universe... the 9 films in the three trilogies, the two stand-alone films, and that gosh awful Clone Wars movie.

Two life long Star Wars fans talking The Force and Disney... what more could you want!

Ep 246. The One with Disney on the Spectrum

LISTEN TO THE SHOW!!

In the 246th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are doing a sort-of part 2 to last week's episode - about Autism on the Disney Cruise - with a discussion about Autism in the parks! 

First up, an Epic Universe update with the just announced soft opening, and what to expect (and how to get in!)

Then, the first of a new segment of Travel Tips... pay attention to your TSA line! Including MCO, which has a habit of closing their TSA pre-check early! And get your STAR ID! 

Finally, a revisit to previous ep 120, when they discussed special needs in the parks - with the newer DAS qualifications, they chat about d$'s recent trip to the parks, working with DAS and dietary restrictions, and helpful tips to navigate with Autism and more. (as always, d$'s family's experience will be different than yours so with all advice, your mileage may vary.) 

Oh, and what happens when you lose your kid in the Magic Kingdom. Because that happened.

Ep 245. The One with Autism on Disney Cruise Line

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE

In the 245th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are back together (as it should be) with d$ returning from all his travels!  Thanks to Kyla & The Moana Mom for filling in the gap last week! 

The news is aplenty, with new promos, thoughts on Disney's Epic perspective, water parks opening up, new shows finally debuting at Hollywood Studios, Buzz getting a massive makeover, and the possible return of baggage carrying at resorts.

Then, d$ shares some from his Disney Fantasy voyage from the perspective of an Autism family, and how the sailing went - from dietary needs to working with Cast Members to navigating the ship... plus the dark thought of "what happens if you fall off the boat"... and the banana boat / missing wife disaster.
