Ep 262. The One with the EPCOT CEOs

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!!

In the 262nd episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are back after a few weeks away, with Jenn traveling and Dave getting a kid back to school!

After a little catch up conversation, they chat up the news, including Disneyland changes... announcements on Big Thunder Mountain and Zootopia.. Spaceship Earth's refurbishment... a storyline for the Muppet's Coaster... and the Food & Wine Festival starts NOW!

Then, they dream a little, to ask "What would we do if we were Epcot CEO?" - nothing massive, no moving attractions from park to park or creating whole new lands... but what would we bring back? What changes would we make? And what is Jenn's #1 above everything?

Ep 234. The One with the Busy December

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE HERE!!

In the 234th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave finally get to record again!  After an extremely hectic holiday season that saw Jenn take TWO trips to Walt Disney World, while d$ took a 7 day trip that turned into 10 days, they are both here to give the scoop on all the news and reviews.

First up, a quick review of the Disney+ documentary "Jim Henson: Idea Man", a movie that d$ absolutely loved. Then, the fate of Rip Ride Rockit at Universal, plus how Animal Kingdom's Boneyard can be saved.  Free Dining was announced recently, while Big Thunder Mountain and Gran Fiesta Tour are both closed for refurb - one with a much longer down time than the other.

To finally cap off the Christmas season, they give their thoughts on 2024's Jollywood Nights event and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, while Jenn chats about her New Years night spent in Epcot.  

Then d$ shares a little about his travels to WDW, and why three of those vacation days were spent in the hospital - and the incredible respond of Disney.

Ep 226. The One with Premier Passes & Halloween Parties

LISTEN TO THE SHOW!!

In the 226th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Kyla & Dave are in studio this time around, as Upon a Star Jenn and Quasi-Producer Heather, aka The Moana Mom, are at a Disney Conference (and will be back next week!)

A loaded show today, full of news and reviews, including upcoming vacation plans... Universal rumored Epic dates... Big Thunder Mountain closing... DinoLand closing... Jingle Cruise opening... holiday happenings at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom... 

Then a rundown of the just relea
sed Candlelight Processional narrators! 

Disney has also just released information about the Lightning Lane Premier Pass, and we discuss the pros and cons, and why people shouldn't be worried about the pricing.

Finally, Kyla gives her review of the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party -- the food, the merch, the crowds, the atmosphere and more! 

Ep 219. The One with Princess Week

CATCH THE SHOW HERE!!

In the 219th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn is on a ship (because she's a Celebrity) so Dave and Kyla take the reins this time around in a conversation much longer than we intended... 

But we talk about a LOT... Kyla just got back, while Dave has another 5K in the works... 

Then the list of news includes losing the California Adventure trolley... Death Eaters back in Universal... Epic Universe's new hotel... Disney Destiny's news... Polynesian Island Tower's opening... Big Thunder's possible closing... 

And finally, to celebrate World Princess Week, the duo chats about the original Disney Princess Lineup, who was kicked out, who are the newbies, who qualifies and who doesn't.  And why Princess Leia and Anastacia aren't official.

Then, they rank them from top to bottom - same opinions on some, differing on others - and we hope you enjoy this comprehensive Princess chat! 

Ep 173. The One with Roller Coasters... LIVE

LISTEN TO THE SHOW

In the 173rd episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave hit the YouTubes and go LIVE!  

First up, Jenn is ready to travel again, while d$ is traveling as you hear this ep (provided you hear it within a few days of it dropping, anyway).  Then,
they discuss a few thoughts and predictions on Disney's announcement about spending upwards of $60 billion (with a B!) on parks and experiences in the coming years.

Finally, they revisit a topic that has become an annual list... the top ten roller coasters in Disney and Universal parks. Of course, they can only rank what they've done so far -- so that leaves out Universal Hollywood and overseas parks -- but they also review what their Top Ten looked like in previous years.

It's a LIVE show as featured on YouTube, so you get all the blunders and glitches that go with it, including some long awaited Patreon news! 

 

Ep 127. The One with the Disney Villains Park

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!! 

In the 127th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave cannot start the show and it's Quasi Producer Heather, aka Upon a Star Heather, aka The Moana Mom, joining Dave, since Upon a Star Jenn is literally in Mexico (at a conference) as we record.

First up, a little Disney'ing by wearing vintage shirts and new Disney PJ pants, plus Heather remembers to book her own room for a trip upcoming.

Then, sorting through the news and rumors including a possible canceled pavilion (rumor) and a princess breakfast returning (fact), we also take a look at five still-closed attraction and experiences, and weigh in on whether they will return or not. 

And then, we harken back to D23 when Josh D'Amaro dared to dream and tell us, the rabid Disney fans, that maybe someday maybe, Disney will take a look at what "lies beyond Big Thunder Mountain" -- and then he mentioned the magic word... "Villains".

So tonight, we build our own Villains Land in Magic Kingdom with each giving their ideas of the Disney Big Bads who could lead their own rides, shows, restaurants and more.  From Henchmen dancing to a speeding carpet through the streets of Agrabah to a Fantasia ride... a scary Fantasia ride. 

Hope you enjoy our suggestions for how we'd build this land, and we'd love to hear your own!  

034. The One with Adventureland & Frontierland (ft Christine Fox!)

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE HERE!!

In the 34th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave bring on Friend, Friend of the Show, and Keto author Christine Fox... Jenn's co-host on the Divas Dish Diz podcast (the original Diz Dishers!).  

They chat a little about Disney'ing, from vintage Figment to Disney history books, then set out to rate Adventureland and Frontierland experiences! 

From Big Thunder to Pecos Bills, from Swiss Family Treehouse to Jungle Cruise, they give their opinion on whether its overrated... underrated... or just rated... rated.  

Plus a funny Magical Moment with a fishbowl and whipped cream!  And, of course, All Star Sports.
