Ep 298. The One with the Disney Horror Stories

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE

In the 298th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are ready to share some Disney horror stories... but first... we know the best answer to any question is "Spend the night in Disney".  And for Dave's kid, the best answer is "We have a reservation at Cinderella's Royal Table!"

Then, Jenn is getting set for her upcoming cruise in Italy, walking through both the cruise itinerary she's ready for, but also getting ready for the cruise - some tips on things to know and pack for, and some differences in American cruises and European cruises.

Finally, they give their is "horror stories"... not the awful, devastating things, but those things we just find super duper inconvenience - getting stuck on a ride... in the hot sun.  Getting caught in the rain... and the humidity that comes after.  Finding out the MCO lines are closed... or the wrong song... or a Lightning Lane across the entire park...

Ep 246. The One with Disney on the Spectrum

LISTEN TO THE SHOW!!

In the 246th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are doing a sort-of part 2 to last week's episode - about Autism on the Disney Cruise - with a discussion about Autism in the parks! 

First up, an Epic Universe update with the just announced soft opening, and what to expect (and how to get in!)

Then, the first of a new segment of Travel Tips... pay attention to your TSA line! Including MCO, which has a habit of closing their TSA pre-check early! And get your STAR ID! 

Finally, a revisit to previous ep 120, when they discussed special needs in the parks - with the newer DAS qualifications, they chat about d$'s recent trip to the parks, working with DAS and dietary restrictions, and helpful tips to navigate with Autism and more. (as always, d$'s family's experience will be different than yours so with all advice, your mileage may vary.) 

Oh, and what happens when you lose your kid in the Magic Kingdom. Because that happened.

Ep 144. The One with Airport Transfers & TSA

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!!

In the 144th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are talking all about airport transfers and TSA Precheck woes, both having experienced the same insanity of a long line at Orlando's MCO airport...

First up, several news items, including guests being told a ride was closed after all the signs say that the ride is closed... Small World adding some disability representation... the new Disney Cruise Line status... eating BRUNCHCOT in EPCOT... Capt Steve Rogers getting his own musical... 

And updated info on Florida taking over Reedy Creek at Disney World. 

Then, the duo discuss the good and bad about the available transportation first for those arriving at MCO and trying to get to their Disney World resort, including Mears, Sunshine Flyers, rideshares, private cars, Away We Go and more...

And then the far worse, and more entertaining, travails of trying to return back to Orlando's airport, including d$'s Mears fiasco and what happens when PreCheck is just straight up closed.
