Ep 268. The One with Our World Showcase Rankings

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE!!

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".

Ep 114. The One with Disney World's "Mount Rushmore"

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE!!

In the 114th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are back together again, with Jenn home from the Wish finally!  Jenn shares a little of her Disney fashion, while Dave laments the loss of the CD Culture while getting an Epcot soundtrack. 

A little bit of news involves another sign removal... finding a lost car... All Star Magic Bands... plus, magic bands vs Key to the Worlds Cards vs Mobile Magic. 

Finally, inspired by a random tweet, the duo takes a look at each part and attempts to create a "Mount Rushmore" for both attractions and park icons -- everything from the obvious (Cinderella's Castle! Tree of Life!) to the not so obvious (where would you put the Jammin' Jungle Parade?) to the hard decisions... does Spaceship Earth go on the Attraction Mount Rushmore? or the Icon Mount Rushmore?
