LISTEN TO THE EPISODE HERE! 

In the 253rd episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are ready for the summer season with all the fun stuff coming up! 

First, Jenn just finished her birthday trip, while Dave is getting ready for his summer trip in July. 

A bevy of news stories include the upcoming premiere of Disney Starlight Parade... Lilo & Stitch movies opens like gangbusters... a store reopens in Hollywood Studios.... Disneyland's 70th approaches... and Epic Universe's grand opening.

Plus, Jenn reviews the new Little Mermaid-A Musical Adventure and Villains Unfairly Ever After, both new at Hollywood Studios, and an overview of her recent dinner at the fancy schmancy swanky panky Victoria & Alberts in Disney's Grand Floridian.

Finally, Dave gives a quick review of Marvel's new flick, "Thunderbolts*" to round out this discussion of all sorts of topics. 

Ep 217. The One with D23

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE! 

In the 217th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are super pumped about the weekend that was -- the D23: Ultimate Fan Event has concluded, and there is SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT.

So much, in fact, that the entire podcast crew is here -- #KylaKylaKyla and Quasi Producer Heather, aka The Moana Mom, joins Jenn & Dave to discuss everything. 

From the top of the show, with Patrick giving an intro, we cover overseas parks, the confusion of Fortnite, all the new ships coming, Avengers stuff in Disneyland, Coco getting a ride, and even Avatar. And crying over Walt.

Then, we take a long look at Walt Disney World, from the expected updates (Indiana Jones... confirmed! Encanto... confirmed!) and the surprises (Monsters Inc?! Cars?!) to the delights (new nighttime parade), and of course... the villains.

Also, how we all feel about losing Tom Sawyer Island as well as DinoLand, what Disney did right and what they may have missed during the weekend, and Jenn's super joy about losing the Bugs.

Ep 128. The One with Disney Villain Songs

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!

After dreaming about what's Beyond Big Thunder last week with Quasi Producer Heather and d$, building a Villains park, and basically planning Magic Kingdom's future... Jenn returns from her jaunt to Mexico on this Halloween themed episode! 

She gives a quick rundown on the Mexican humidity (and the hair poofy) and Dave shares one of his upcoming Disney plans that he's super excited about.  

A little news kicks off, including Blizzard Beach reopening... Fantasmic! returning... Candlelight Processional's restaurants... and Elton John on Disney+, which leads to an entire side conversation about concerts, who they want to see and why neither do many concerts.

Then!  The Villain Songs!  Before the show, Dave reached out to several Friends of the Show to get their own Top Ten lists of Fave Disney Villain songs, and with almost two dozen submitted, one definitive Top Ten list was created!

Jenn & Dave share their own personal top ten Disney villain songs, then a look at many of the songs that didn't make the official Top Ten list. 

Finally, the list... starting at 10, they take it song by song, share a story or two, and take about some great behind the scenes -- including the two songs that have super serious backstories mirroring both history and real-life... the Villain songs not sung by the actual villains... the creepiest Disney Villain song out there... and Gaston sings Shakespeare...

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!
