But MOSTLY Disney

What even is a Disney Adult? And why do you have to be an adult at all? Is it a term of endearmant? Or are your friends making fun of you right in front of your face? On this episode we talk about what a Disney Adult is and whether it’s good or bad…or like most things a little bit of both! And with your help in the chat, we will try to define the term and then dig into how that effects people's pe...

This week Andrew and I wanted to talk about who inspires us to keep plugging away with our podcast, YouTube, Facebook etc. So we invited our buddy Matthew Woolley from Married to a Disney Addict on to join us. If I am being honest, and this is a little bit of a spoiler alert, we ended talking endlessly about Lou Mongello. And why not? He is truly a giant in this space and one of the nicest most he...

This week Andrew and I discuss how to beat the system and spend less time in line waiting for attractions! Of course as we insiders know, The Line is the Ride! (This is of course a not so subtle hint to go buy a t-shirt in the But. MOSTLY Disney store!) We run through some strategies, some tips and sometimes just some dumb luck that might help you enjoy more time riding than waiting! This also our...

This week we are talking about the Swan and Dolphin's Food and Wine Classic - not to be confused with Epcot's Food and Wine Festival! (We will get to that one later!!!) My wife and I hopped down to Orlando to attend this pretty amazing event! While it's not cheap - it does have a lot to offer. And if done right some might even consider this a pretty good value! We also had dinner at To...

Tonight we are joined by the legendary Tim Foster from Celebrations Magazine! It’s really a fantastic way to bring a little magic home and drop you off into the Most Magical Place on Earth! He also hosts the Celebrations Disney Podcast - yet another fantastic way to throw some magic into your car ride or workout!

Oh boy, as our pal Mickey is wont to say, this is a good one! First and foremost we have our buddy Jeremy Stein from the Main Street Magic podcast joining us this week and he is a true Disney expert. And this week we talk about raising our kids with a little Disney magic! Disney gives us a lot! And i think that some of what we get from the movies and the parks translates to putting some pretty goo...

So why? Why do we do this podcast? Why is there a But MOSTLY Disney YouTube channel? Why all the social media? Om one hand there is an easy answer - we love Disney and want to share it with you - the listener. But a bigger question might be why go through all the work and time it takes to get all this together each week? On this episode we explore a little bit about why we have committed so substa...

They seem awesome. Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween - A Very Merry Christmas - Jollywood Nights - they promise shorter wait times for attractions, characters in special holiday garb, fantastic food options. But all this holiday cheer comes at a price...and it's as much if not more than a park ticket. Well, Andrew and I have been to all of them. And what started out as a mystery topic night turned i...

While I am still a few episodes behind, I am working on catching up with the audio. If you really need a But MOSTLY Disney fix you can always head over to YouTube and grab a little bite there...or would it be byte? I am not certain. What I do know is here is our Top 10 list of animated Disney films, not necessarily in any order. We also grouped Pixar in here which is not meant to offend any purist...

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...
