 LISTEN TO THE SHOW

In the 204th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are a day away (at the recording) from heading to the Caribbean -- Sandals Negril Resort in Jamaica, to be exact, on a travel agent group.

Before they split, however, they cover the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party news released with party dates and details (prices were not out at time of recording, but are available now).

Then, we present the audio of the most recent Travel With the Stars, the YouTube show hosted by Jenn herself, featuring Dave, with fellow agents Jamie and Emily.  It's a fun conversation about the Disney resorts, and so many of the things to do from Pop Century resort  to Grand Floridian, and all in between.

Plus, the infamous Surrey Bike ride of 2022... 

Dave & Jenn will be back next week with a full report on Sandals in Jamaica as well!

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!!

In the 147th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave kick off the show with a house update from Jenn, and planning a Disney trip around an overly excited 11yo at d$'s house. 

But first... a handful of news bites, including the reopening of ToonTown at Disneyland Park, as well as the soft opening of Tron in Magic Kingdom, and a great change to Genie+.

Then, advice on why you should never assume Disney will be slow, and why you pretty much need to have a plan when you go.

Finally... a look at the history of the Grand Floridian, including what it was supposed to be (an Asian themed resort?), how it morphed into what it is now, and the beauty and wonder of the resort itself -- including how Disney helps you not be disoriented when you come into the lobby from the 2nd floor.

Plus, Jenn's own take on her favorite restaurants there, the Enchanted Rose, Victoria & Alberts, the best shops, and why she feels so at home when she stayed at the Grand Flo.

First up, a list of quick hit news topics, including masks on Skyliners... the Aloha show says Aloha... Vic & Al's coming back... new DVC resorts... Tumble Monkey's tumble again... another Guardians update... and Universal sensory rooms and park pass polling. 

Then, some good chatter about the ins and outs of buying tickets at Disney World in this post-Covid era, along with getting your park pass reservations, and when to use park hoppers - and do you even need park hoppers?  Plus, opinions on pros and cons of the way it's being done, including Heather's defense of Park Pass Reservations.

Ep 096. The One with The Disney Underground

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!!

In the 96th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave decided it was finally time to bring a guest to the show, so naturally, they chose someone awesome -- like Gene FitzMagic from the FPE Network on YouTube, with The Disney Underground Podcast, the Magical Lifestyle, live shows and so much more all online. 

After the initial How'd You Disney chat, they talk about the Festival of Fantasy... Genie+ evolution... Jenn's new (Grand) Flow... Tron testing... and whether people actually knew the Epcot Experience existed, much less closed.

046. The One with the Disney Park Draft

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!! 

In the 46th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave talk a little about Dave's recent trip, some next week's news, then stage the very first MSEPodcast Theme Park Draft. It's no fun with just the two hosts, so Chris, Catron, and Ryan from the IAmGeek podcast join the show to create parks of their own!

A little trivia determines who goes first, then everything and anything at WDW is fair game -- attractions, resorts, restaurants... and lightsaber shops? That too.

This is a hilarious hour as everyone grabs the good attractions, and even some bad attractions, and can Jenn get The Grand Floridian before anyone else does? Will d$ take any of the All Stars?  And will Ryan realize there is more than Star Wars at Walt Disney World? 

Check out IAmGeek podcast on their website.
