Ep 272. The One with the 2025 Disney Holiday Guide
Previous guest, Friend of the Show, promoted to somewhat sorta guest host Jessica Levine, aka Pocket Jess, comes back to the show to hang with host Dave and talk about Christmas at Disney World.
Jess is getting her house ready for Hanukkah and Christmas, while Dave is pulling out the Christmas Disney PJs, and then they jump into the parks for Christmas!
They chat about each park - Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom - then the resorts and Disney Springs, putting a spotlight on Christmas activities, theming, events, and more.
We discuss everything from Jollywood Nights to Glimmering Greenhouse to Merry Menagerie to Christmas Tree Strolls to Candlelight Processional to the resort trees and so much more.
Plus, Jessica gives a rundown on how Disney represents her Jewish faith in the parks - both the awesome things Disney is doing, and a few things they could be slightly better on.
Use this as your guide for all things Disney World and holidays!

Ep 268. The One with Our World Showcase Rankings
In the 268th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are joined by super Upon a Star super planner Jessica Levine, aka "Pocket Jess", in her first appearance since way back in July 2023 on Episode 165.
On today's episode, the trio chat about Jenn's upcoming Destiny journey, Jess' upcoming trips, and Dave's quick review of Pixar's "ELIO". Plus, we chat a little about Jess and her family, her move to Jacksonville, and how she still frequents the parks.
In the news, some quick hits on Disney raising prices... new pricing out for Christmas 2026... a new timeline for Muppets in Rock'n Roller Coaster... a revised Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique menu - and wondering why there is still only one BBB location open... Disney leaning to cashless kiosks... and Frozen Ever After losing the projection faces.
Finally, in a revisit of a topic done in October 2021 on Episode 75, a ranking of World Showcase pavilions. Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, American Adventure, Japan, Morocco, France, United Kingdom, and Canada - each get a quick discussion about what we love (and what we don't love as much) and we rank them on our list, 1 thru 11.
Plus, another mini-rant from Jenn about Anne Hathaway's thrilling, Oscar winning performance in "Les Miserables".
