Ep 214. The One with Being Stuck on a Disney Ride

HEAR THE EPISODE HERE!!

In the 214th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are back together again on the mic, as Jenn's world travels finally stop... for now, anyway.


And back on the show again is our own Quasi-Producer Heather, aka The Moana Mom! 

First, Heather is always at Disney, Jenn is drinking the coffee, and Dave is running (walking) the 5Ks this summer.  Jenn and Heather gives the update on the Disney Destiny, while Genie+ is gone, Multi Pass is here! 

Then, by request of our wonderful listener Rory in PA, we discuss rides to get stuck on.  And by "stuck", we mean ALL day... what attractions would you be fine with spending the day on, especially if it kept running? And what rides would be terrible, maybe disastrous for hours on end? 

Plus, more proof that Heather does in fact love hippos. 

Ep 211. The One with the Genie+ Changes

LISTEN NOW!

In the 211th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave this week are Heather & Dave, as Jenn is returning from one of her final trips of the summer season! 

Heather, aka The Moana Mom, fills the co-host spot today and she and Dave jump into news immediately, with so much to discuss!

Starting out with Heather and her girls heading to Tiana's for an event (which allows them to ride over and over!), they discuss CommuniCore Hall in Epcot... the Fort Wilderness Cabins that have opened... the Eat to the Beat lineup coming in the fall (and what Justin Timberlake's best PR move could possibly be)... the dates for Jollywood and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party... and more.

Then, an overview of the changes coming to Walt Disney World with Genie+... the new Multi Pass... the Single Day Pass... how it will (or should) work... some of the things you can and cannot do... and opinions on how Disney makes things harder than it ever has to be. 

Ep 197. The One with Another Magical Roundup

 LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!!!!

In the 197th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are just here to chit-chat Disney adventures, upcoming events, and a little news.

Jenn just returned from her magical stay - and possibly betraying her beloved Grand Floridian - while Dave makes a city-wide search for Encanto, with good reason. Jenn also gives her take on Roundup Rodeo BBQ in Hollywood Studios.

We explain what happens with "stacking" Lightning Lane reservations, then give an update on the "other park" down the road -- and how fast Universal's Epic Universe is coming along.  Disney filing for work permits around Animal Kingdom fuels the speculation and Dave laments Disneyland getting the good stuff... again.

Plus, a way, way too early preview of this summer's D23 fan event, and the Disney Legend announcements, with a short list of some names who should be Disney Legends by now... and yeah, one name will shock you.
