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 221. The One with Travel Agent Myths

LISTEN TO THE NEW EPISODE HERE!!! 

In the 221st episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave invite in friend of the show, THE Derek Frank to chat about all things in the the World of Magic.

First, stains on a Remy shirt and Jenn's new vintage map, then a tribute to James Earl Jones... Dick Van Dyke's not-Emmy... when will the new Mermaid show open... another Halloween party update... and Tron goes standby!

Then, Travel Planner d$, Upon a Star Agency Owner Jenn, and agency collaborator Derek discuss the biggest myths surrounding using a Travel Agent, starting with both Jenn's & d$'s "origin stories" of how they became involved in Travel, and even how they met and began working together. 

Myths like "Does it cost extra money to us a TA?", and "Can't I just do it on my own?", and "Do TAs sell you things you don't need", and even "How do I find a good Travel Agent?".

Plus, how we Travel Agents sometimes lose money by making sure your trips are amazing, and even the age old question of "How do I become a Travel agent??"

Hope you enjoy our fun discussion on the behind the scenes world of travel planning!

In the 158th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are back on the show together again, after Jenn celebrated a birthday in Walt Disney World in, where else, The Grand Floridian! 

In addition, Dave discusses the wonder, magic, and yet silliness of "Encanto", which somehow Jenn leads into a chat on the latest "Fast & Furious" film, "Fast X".

A little news on the Starcruiser openings and Apple's brand new partnership with Disney, and the new, possibly terrifying, VR Goggles.  And the Princess 1/2 Marathon details are released! 

Jenn gives the recap of her recent trip, including the food, the parks, and finally getting to experience Tron Lightcycle/Run. 

Then Dave gives his review on both the most recent live-action remake of "Little Mermaid", but also "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse".

And somehow, "Fast X" comes back up because why not.

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!!!

In the 116th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave come to the show with a large handful of news topics, a salute to a recently lost legend, and a good look at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. 

Jenn talks a little about her travel planning -- Costa Rica coming soon! -- and Dave recounts his day spent in Nashville, not only for Universal training, but also at The Grand Ole Opry and the overpriced (but worth it) tour.

Then, the news topics are large in number - Give Kids the World is full back... Genie+ (non)changes... Blizzard Beach's continued closure... Disneyland's Christmas plans... the upcoming D23 and possible new ships... an invite we are expecting from Josh D'Amaro... Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Dessert Party...

Panda is also here to join in on the second round of Hot Takes (See ep 22 for the first list with Ryno from Dis Unplugged)...

HOT TAKE: Something that we really enjoy that most Disney fans may not... or something we are not fans of that most Disney fans love... or just plain ol' unpopular Disney opinions! 

...and we discuss everything from disposing of kidney stones in WDW to cat dry heaves to coffee skunk smells in attractions to Mama Melrose, good or bad.

We have hot takes on American Adventure... the Little Mermaid ride and it's missing scene... the old Pecos Bills... Space Mountain and the Pooh ride... Corn Dog nuggets... and somehow, All Star Sports is mentioned along the way.
