Ep 125. The One with Epcot's 40th

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!!

In the 125th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave have returned to their respective homes in their respective states after a crazy and chaotic group trip over the weekend, all to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their beloved Epcot's doors opening for the first time. 

The damage to Disney World vs Universal, and Peppa Pig has a park (or had?)... riding out the Hurricane... taking the group to Epcot's 40th... an overview of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, with new and improved bags... decisions you have to make at special parties... fine dining at Topolino Terrace at Riviera Resort... quick service breakfast... 

We take a look at Epcot's history, including what led up to building the park, and the opening day attractions and a number of those attractions added since. 

We also ask the question, "What makes you love Epcot so much?" and our first experiences at the park in our younger days... and we answer the question, "Is Epcot good for kids?"... 

Finally, we play a little "Stop Start Continue" with some ideas for Disney & Chapek on what Disney should STOP doing with Epcot (too much tech?) and what Disney should START doing with Epcot (more original stories) and what Disney should CONTINUE doing with Epcot.  SummerFest with Olaf anyone?

Ep 108. The One with Our Universal Faves

In the 108th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave get to record from the same room again!  They've shared a mic twice in Cancun, and now for the second time, Universal Studios! 

After spending a day with the Upon a Star Team in both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, and finishing the day in CityWalk, the duo give a quick overview of the day and some of the things they enjoy the most enjoy about the other park that isn't Disney World. 

And as a bonus, fan fave #kylaKylaKYLA returns to the show as well as a few other voices to share some of their faves and takes on VelociCoaster, doughnuts, Universal restaurants, a look at Endless Summer resorts, the perks of a premium resort, and even Brenden Fraser... yes, that one! 

Ep 097. The One with Tickets, Passes, & Hoppers

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!! 

In the 97th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave welcome back to the show their very own Quasi Producer Heather, as they tackle what has become a tricky trio of topics.. Park Tickets... Park Hoppers... and Park Pass Reservations.

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. 

A fun discussion, hopefully informative to you who may be confused -- and a refresher to the experts!
