Ep 282. The One with the Festival of the Arts Weekend Review

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!

In the 282nd episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave have returned from the Upon a Star Travel meet up in Disney World for Festival of the Arts!!

The whole episode is one big "How did you Disney this week" as they give a handful of quick reviews on a large amount of places eaten, parties attended, resorts slept in, and much more.  Dave got a couple of new shirts, including a brand new Figment to sport. 

You'll find our takes on resort stays in Bay Lake Tower and Caribbean Beach... restaurants like Biergarten, Topolino's, Skipper's Canteen, Tuttio Italia, and Jaleo... lounges like Geo-82 and a return to Beak & Barrel... and events like the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Party - and the differences in the pre-party, the Seats & Eats, and the post-party - and which one we recommend.

And of course, snacking, enjoying Broadway, and buying artwork, and the actual Festival of the Arts! 

Plus, who is right when it comes to those Pop Tart things in Woody's Lunchbox? 

It's a quick paced look at a lot of different things enjoyed by Disney, theme park and travel fans! 

Ep 281. The One Revisiting Stacey & the Must Dos

LISTEN TO THE SHOW

In the 281st Episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are working on borrowed time as they are both getting set for the annual gathering of Upon a Star friends in Disney World! 

First up, Jenn is doing her packing, while Dave tells the story about Southwest that had him fuming... then how the Lovely Wife solved the problem.  

Then, a quick look at Fast & Furious in Universal - the bad (Fast and Furious Supercharged) and the hopefully good (the Fast & Furious Roller Coaster) coming in a few years.

And then they look back to 2020, when Stacey Aswad came on the show (for the first of two appearances!) and we revisit our conversation with her, discussing everything from crying in movies and fashion to starting in voice overs and roller skating and of course, how she got started with Disney and some behind the scenes fun. 

Hope you enjoy looking back at our convo with the legend that is Stacey from the Must Do Disney days, and let us know if you want to hear her on the show again!

Ep 280. The One with Galaxy's Edge and Wizarding Worlds

LISTEN TO THE SHOW!

In the 280th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are ready to chat about the Wizarding World... but first, the Star Wars... 

To open up, both are set with their Guardians of the Galaxy Lightning Lanes for their upcoming trip with Upon a Star Team! Then... the big news that Original Trilogy Star Wars is coming to Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge - Han, Luke, Leia, Vader, with John Williams music, as Disney seeks to redo a little theming and timelines in the SW areas. 

Plus, a quick look at the sequel trilogy and why this move maybe should have been done years ago (we've been screaming it!)

Then, focusing on the Wizarding Worlds of Harry Potter in Universal Orlando! 

We discuss our own relationships to the Potterverse - reading the books, watching the movies, and impressions on seeing the first Potter area in Islands of Adventure many years ago.  Then, a look at Hogsmeade, along with Hogwarts Castle and Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure over in Islands, then Diagon Alley, with Gringott's ride and Nocturn Alley in Universal Studios, and finally, the Parisian theming and the Ministry of Magic, plus the circus show and that French cafe that we forgot the name of, all over in Epic Universe.

It's not nearly as comprensive as it could be - that would take many hours - but it's a great overview of what you can expect at the Wizarding Worlds - plus how you can (and should) ride the Hogwarts Express!
