Celebrations Disney Podcast

Food and Disney go together like peanut butter and jelly. Like bacon and eggs. Like…well, you get the idea. And there are lots of snacks that we associate with certain attractions, like the Citrus Swirl and the Enchanted Tiki Room. But we think there may be some other missed opportunities for the perfect pairing… So sit back, relax, and join us as talk about snack carts we'd like to see at Walt Di...

With Toy Story 5 in theaters as we speak (and before you panic, there will be no spoilers tonight so don't worry) we thought this would be a great time to reflect on all of our favorite moments with Buzz, Woody, Rex, Slinky Dog, and the rest of the round up gang. We got to get this wagon train a-movin'...   So sit back, relax, and join us as we celebrate our favorite Toy Story moments!

The past few years have seen many changes come to Walt Disney World, most recently the announcement that the Carousel of Progress will be getting a major update. Change of course is inevitable, and while it might bring with it a tinge of nostalgic sadness, it's also filled with the promise of something new. So sit back, relax, and join us as we take a look back at some of our favorite refurbishmen...

What is it about Walt Disney World that keeps us coming back? The attractions? The characters? The food? Well, it's all of that, but it's actually so much more. It's the magic. Now, we say that a lot, but what do we mean by that? Tonight we're going to explore that very topic with our good friend and photographer extraordinaire, Collin Kendall, who has a beautiful new book, "The Storybook Project....

When it comes to animals and Disney, you'll find everything from bears and elephants to dogs and cats…and yes, even the occasional mouse. And we've talked about many of them in the past. But there is one group of critters that we have yet to discuss, and they just might represent some of the most beloved characters in the Disney canon.    So sit back, relax, and join us as we talk about the Reptil...

As the world came together to watch the historic flight of Artemis II, we got to experience the thrill and wonder of space exploration, and the first step in our renewed journey to the stars. Over the years, Disney has given us a small taste of the excitement of blasting off into space, starting with a visit to our nearest celestial neighbor. So sit back, relax, and join us as we talk about the Mo...

Walt Disney famously said that his empire was all started by a mouse. Not a cat, not a dog. A mouse. A rodent. Cousin to the squirrel, the rat, and many other creatures. It turns out that, in addition to Mickey and Minnie, there are many other members of the rodent family in the Disney universe, more than you might think. So sit back, relax, and join us as we talk about the Rodentia of Disney!

Now that Disneyland has introduced iconic Star Wars characters like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker to the immersive world of Galaxy's Edge, we thought it would be a great time to put on our Imagineering hats and talk about some ways in which we would bring some new Star Wars magic to us right here in Florida.   So sit back, relax, and join us as we share our Star Wars Wish List!

There are so many things that we love to experience at the parks. The attractions. The shops. The restaurants. But there are many other places and objects that don't seem to serve a real purpose. They're just…there. However, just because they don't seem to serve a function, we'll find that they really do.   So sit back, relax, and join us as we ask the question, "What's that doing here?"

Tonight we have a very special show. Normally you get to hear our regular crew of friends as we discuss our love of Disney, with lots of go with me here moments along the way. But tonight we're excited to welcome in some new friends who are taking a break from their own podcast to pay us a visit. So sit back, relax, and join us as we share and evening with Matt and Krystle from Married to a Disney...

Valentines Day is now upon us, offering up that eternal question, how are we going to celebrate? Flowers? Chocolates? How about dinner and a movie? That sounds great, but where should we go? What should we see? Thankfully, when you're talking Disney, you have lots of choices… So sit back, relax, and join us as we plan out our Disney Valentines Evening!

One of great things about Disney is the fact that no detail is overlooked. If there's a chance for Imagineers to add another layer to the story being told, they'll take it, even if it's something as mundane as a simple door. But can doors really be that exciting? In the hands of a Disney Imagineer, the answer is "absolutely!"   So sit back, relax, and join us as we talk about Our Favorite Disney D...

Tonight, we're going to put your Disney Knowledge to the test. Not just your knowledge, but the knowledge of our regular panelists. It's game night, and tonight our very own Joe Gallagher will be hosting our first ever trivia night, and you're invited to play along. Will you fare better that our cast of regulars?   Let's find out as we invite you to join us as for our first ever, Disney Trivia Gam...

As we kick off the new year, we are reminded off the promise of something new. A year in which we can look forward to new experiences and new adventures. It's also a great time to look back nostalgically on some of our favorite Disney First Moments from years past, especially as we look forward to creating new ones. So sit back, relax and join us as we share some personal and historic Disney First...

With Christmas right around the corner, this is the perfect time to partake in that time-honored holiday tradition, the Christmas Movie Marathon. But this year, we thought we'd do things a little differently. We thought it would be fun to take some of those classic films and infuse them with a bit of pixie dust…   So sit back, relax and join us as we share our ideas for Christmas Movies with a Dis...

When it comes to picking out that special Christmas gift, or making that list and checking it twice, Disney characters certainly present a challenge. Who's truly naughty, and who's truly nice? And what exactly do you get that villain who has everything? Tonight, we're going to try and help Santa out…   So sit back, relax and join us as we share our ideas for Disney Christmas Giving!

Christmas and Halloween are two of our favorite times to be at Disney, and when we're not in the parks, Disney offers up plenty of movies and specials to keep the festivities going at home. However, there's another holiday that might not get as much attention, but tonight, we're going to fix that. So sit back, relax and join us as we celebrate Thanksgiving, Disney-style!

In 1942, Disney released a cartoon short called "How to Play Baseball," in which Goofy taught us all the nuances of this classic sport. OK, perhaps it might not be the best idea to take our baseball lessons from someone once called Dippy Dawg, but it does represent Disney's long association with America's Pastime. So sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the world of baseball, Disney style!

"Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween, awaken the spirits with your tambourine!" Those immortal words from Madame Leota are the perfect way to introduce our annual Halloween show, where we'll share some of our favorite spooky moments, creepy characters, and do a bit of grim grinning Imagineering. So sit back, relax, and prepare yourself as we celebrate Halloween – with some Disney flair.

Way back on our very first podcast, we talked about those special moments that touch us the most. Those moments that are at the heart of why we love this place so much. As we celebrate our 150 th episode, we thought it would be fun to revisit those very first questions, this time with some new friends, and hopefully some new memories. So sit back, relax, and join us, as we talk about our Favorite...

When it comes to talking about the things that make Disney so magical, let's talk about the people. None of this would be possible without the collective talents, efforts, and imagination of a special group of individuals. Over the years their contributions have been many, and to this day they continue to work tirelessly to bring Walt Disney's dream to life. So, sit back, relax, and join us we tal...

Instead of visiting Walt Disney World, have you ever imagined what it would be like to live there? Not just in Florida, but in the actual parks. True, there isn't any place you can actually do that, but hey, we can dream! After all, dreaming is what this Disney magic is all about. So, sit back, relax, and join us we share some of our ideas of where we would like to live (if we could) inside Walt D...

As we walk through the parks and resorts, there is so much magic just waiting to be discovered right in front of our eyes. But hiding behind the scenes is a whole other world just waiting to be discovered, a world filled with hidden items, treasure maps, and adventure quests ready to test your Disney sleuthing skills. So, sit back, relax, and join us we embark on our favorite Disney scavenger hunt...

One of our favorite destinations in all of Walt Disney World is the France Pavilion in EPCOT's World Showcase. From the charming shops to adventures with our favorite rat, there is so much here to discover. But you can also experience the wonders of this beautiful country in other parks and resorts… So, sit back, relax, and join us we embark on our Finding France Tour of Walt Disney World!

How do you create magic? How do you create an immersive world of fantasy and wonderment that will transport Guests to landscapes and environments straight out of a dream? As we take in the splendor of the new Disney Starlight parade at the Magic Kingdom, it got us to thinking about one of the most important tools in the Imagineers' bag of tricks. Something that we usually take for granted, but one...
