Ep 289. The One with Jenn in Land & Dave in World

 FIND THE EPISODE HERE

In the 289th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are back after a few weeks away!  Spring Break weeks have come and gone, including when Jenn went to Disneyland then returned home to Pittsburgh late Monday night, only for Dave to leave Birmingham early Tuesday morning for week in Disney World!

First up, Buzz Lightyear has some soft openings, ready for next week's official reopening... Rafiki gets his name dropped in Animal Kingdom's Conversation Conservation Station... brand new ticket deals for Disney... and Crocs are getting into the headband game...

Then, Jenn and Dave share their trip reports from the parks on each coast -- Jenn (with Travel Amanda) visiting Bluey's new show, hanging at Disneyland Hotel, enjoying California Adventure's Food & Wine, and soaking in the 70th anniversary before it disappears... 

And Dave on his annual family trip, with all the dining, including Le Cellier and Sci Fi and Akershus, doing the Garden Graze at Flower & Garden Festival, and the kid's Meeting Princess stance.  And a lament on how badly Disney has handled the Easter Egg displays this year. 

It's a great time to visit either park!

Ep 258. The One with Disneyland's First Day

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE!

In the 258th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are celebrating the 70th anniversary of the park that started it all - Disneyland

First, the news of Jollywood and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party is out, and they give the quick rundown of what to expect in each. Then, a take on the Walt animatronic that everyone can't stop talking about.

And finally - it was called Black Sunday, the opening day of Disneyland that turned out to be a disaster. We give you some highlights of the day - no water, melted asphalt, lots of people trespassing - and the lead up of the day itself!  

It's a look at Disney's memories of the original park, plus what Walt means to all of us, as we say Happy 70th Disneyland

LISTEN TO THE SHOW!!

In the 255th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are still feeling the magical glow of a recent Disneyland trip - and to recap and review, it's time to bring in fan fave, #KylaKylaKyla!

First, a little WDW news with the closing announcement of Rivers of American and Liberty Belle, and then the Boneyard in Animal Kingdom, then over to the West Coast! 

The trio chats up World of Color... the 70th Celebration Tour... Paint the Night... Carthay Circle... Pixar Place... The Grand Californian Resort... the rides... the snacks... the merch... and Dave's walk down a desolate street on the backside of the parks. (suggestion - dont do this!)
