But MOSTLY Disney

Since I am moving a little slow right now, I was thinking about being in the parks and where the best stops to stop and smell the roses…and by that I may or may not mean take a nap! So join us as we pull back from our normal 30,000 steps a day and rest our eye lids in some (maybe) secret spots!

We all know that 20,000 steps at Disney World is amatuer level numbers. I have seen much a higher step-counts by lunchtime! But there other ways to get around. And yes, I am fully aware of how far behind I am on uploading shows the internet. I am working on it! Good news is I am back with a vengeance so if you need some But MOSTLY Disney goodness fora road trip - you are going to get a bunch over...

After seeing both Paint the Night and the Starlight parades at Disneyland and Disney World respectively, it made us start thinking about all the Disney parades that have come and gone. Some short lived, some had longer tenures and some were just gone too soon (Main Street Electrical Parade I am looking at you!!!) So this week we run through and talk about some, if not most, of these incredible, sh...

So are you West Coast or East Coast? Small castle or big castle? Are you Walt or Roy? Or are you like me and the answer to all these questions is - YES! Well, this week on the But MOSTLY Disney podcast we compare and contrast each park. We went out to celebrate Disneyland's 70th anniversary and really had an incredible time. Spoiler alert we love both parks and it's almost impossible for u...

Orlando is hot. And it might be a different kind of hot than anywhere else in the world. Maybe it's the concrete. Maybe it's all the vacationers crammed into a confined space as they are all heading to the same places. I don't really know but it's a lot! So this week we throw out some strategies to keep the heat at bay. Or at least to minimize the effects of the blazing Orlando sun...

We've been going to Disney for a long time! Every year since 2006. And we have spent a lot of money on these amazing trips! And while I do not regret one single dollar we've spent, DVC has always lurked over in the corner, taunting me with saving and benefits, but seemingly out of reach financially. It's a big investment up front. One we could arguably not afford for most of our young...

So I just realized that I did not get this episode uploaded before I left for vacation! And it's a REALLY good one. I have been to Disney World countless times. I feel pretty confident when I put together a Florida trip. The west coast, however is a whole different animal! Fortunately I have a true expert in my arsenal. Stacey - The Disney Hotel Lady - has come to my rescue! Nobody knows Disne...

So if you don't know and follow Andrew Prince - You are truly missing out! His YouTube channel "Accessible Adventures with Andrew" is chock full of great videos about cruising and Disney, among other things, and gives you some great tips and ideas - whether you need different access or not! Andrew is one of the most fun loving and positive people I've met! And his disposition is...

What better way to honor the sacrifice of our fallen military than by discussing the deep patriotism of Walt Disney himself. The beginning monologue in Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress proclaims that Walt was as about American as anyone could be. And he himself said, "If you could see in my eyes, the American flag is waving in both of them and my spine is growing this red, white and blu...

Well, I am fan-girling out here a little! Brian Crawford is here...and if you don't know his name you might recognize his YouTube channel - Keeping Walt in Disney!!! His YouTube channel and Instagram (of the same name) are some of the best Disney content on the internet! Well, particularly for folks of my age! These videos he has curated are the memories of my childhood! And they are call cata...

Well, this is a fun one! Andrew and I talk to our Beatrice Beadizfan about the joys of working as a cast member at the happiest place on earth!!!! I mean be honest, no matter our station in life, we all secretly pine to work for the Mouse! It's possible that it's just me, but I do think there is a fascination for those of us on the outside to know all the secrets and philosophies behind Di...

I try...I really do. I wanted to get this up on Friday, if for no other reason that to keep me on a schedule. But life keeps getting in the way. However, if I get the newsletter up tomorrow (please subscribe) then I will be back on track. Then I can fall behind again next week! But on this episode Andrew and I run through, sort of chronologically, the history of the Walt Disney World Hotels. We ta...

This was a really amazing opportunity for our little podcast and an episode you absolutely do not want to miss!!! Ken Bruce has written the most incredible book about Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room! It is chock full of stories and info that was shockingly new to me, and I feel like I have read a lot of Disney books! You really should stop reading this and go order the book. You can thank me...

Better late than never! And we missed a week which I am sincerely sorry . I will try to do better! But the reason for a week with no show was because both Andrew and I were in Disney on our regular night! We actually met in real life. Neither of us AI…so that’s something! We had a wonderful meal at Kona Cafe at Disney's Polynesian and a great time was had by all! Join us for this episode where...

Well, it's not quite a cage match, but this week Andrew and compare and contrast Apples and Churos! I have never been to Universal (cue gasp) so it's completely unfair of me to give my opinion...but I am going to do it anyway! I will also state for the record that I am in no way against Universal parks and am truly looking forward to going and taking it all in. But until that happens, you...

Join us on an adventure into the history of standing in line at good ol' Walt Disney World! It is probably the complaint Disney addresses most frequently. And this week we go back to the beginning to see how Disney World has dealt with the ever growing population of park goers. It's a wild ride into how Disney handles the river of flowing people moving to an from the rides. oh. sorry...att...

So do not be afraid to listen if you are not a golfer, there are a few surprises in here that will satisfy your needs even if you hate golf. And if you are a golfer, well then proceed as we will talk about options, history and even pricing at these amazing courses! Walt was not a golfer, but he knew the importance of offering leisure activity for guest that would be coming to his Florida Project....

How much, Disney or otherwise, stuff have you accumulated over the years? If you are like me - it's a lot! And all of it is precious to me...but not in a Gollum like way! This week we talk to Moose Moran, a certified collecting expert who runs through what collecting is, whether it's about financial gain or personal joy and maybe even how to get it all organized! OK, well, maybe there is n...

23 Episodes! WOW! And what a way to celebrate! This week, in addition to getting excited about some of the new SXSW Disney announcements, we chat about my recent trip to Epcot's Flower and Garden Festival. Spoiler alert - it was incredible! It really is a time when Epcot puts it's best foot forward! The topiaries, the food...it might be my favorite festival. Though frankly I think I say th...

Do your feet hurt after a day at the parks? Back sore? Tough to get out of bed for rope drop on your second day? Well this week we should be able to help you out! Stephen (he let us drop the Dr. for conversation purposes...but I think I would keep it if it were me) not only has a podcast (Happily Eve Active - great name!) and a book, but also a companion course on how to stay health for your Disne...

This is gonna be a good one my friend! Join us we head back in time to try and walk a little in Walt's shoes, or maybe someone walking Walt-adjacent, in order to peek in and see what was like to do the planning and the dreaming required to make the original idea of and Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow come together! Walt had already done a theme park so this was truly going to be someth...

On this Episode we are joined by our good Friend Caleb Joshua Hill from Fantasyland Adventures to talk about the Disney Store of our childhood…well, maybe my children’s childhood. Our family spent a lot of time roaming the Disney Store at our mall and letting the merchandise and animatronics give us a little bit of magic when we couldn’t be at the parks. And while the stores have all but vanished,...
