Welcome to the show notes for podcast number 060 for 29th August 2015. You can hear the show by subscribing to our show via iTunes, Stitcher Radio or any of the other podcast catching places out there. Finally, you can also click on the link below.
This show is very different and requires you to listen to another podcast in preparation. Before listening, listen to Window to the Magic (WTTM) podcast 485.5 iTunes link as that is where our two-part audio adventure begins.
So part one, on WTTM, begins with a quest to ride one of Michelle's favourite attractions and along with Paul Barrie (host of WTTM) and friend Wendy Cooper the trio walk around Disneyland and Disney California Adventure to try to find and then ride it. With Paul in charge, chaos begins and so does our adventure.
We are running a competition on this show, you need to listen to both adventures, then send us an email info@disneydreamgirls.com listing the attractions we ride (in order) and make a comment on the show. The competition will close on 20th September 2015. So good luck!
Things will be back to normal next week but in the meantime, to see some of Michelle's videos from her trip, visit our Facebook page, Disney Dream Girls.

And that is it for this set of show notes. We will be back on Sunday 30th August with the show notes for show 60 which is a special crossover show! Part one will be released on Window to the Magic Podcast on 24th August (show number 485 1/2) and it begins an in-park adventure, where we begin a quest to ride an attraction but with Paul Barrie in charge, it gets a little confusing! Then, part 2 will be released on Sunday 30th August by us. Listen to both shows, answer the question we pose at the end to win a prize.
So, ahead of you, you will find answers to some listener questions on:
- Summer snack attacks
- How much money should you take

First, we would like to share an email with you. Michelle and Jayne. I was hoping you would
help me as I am going to Disneyland for the first time in 6 years. I am on a
limited budget so I plan to try and eat lots of snacks. Can you
advise what I should try? Eric from Wisconson. Well, curiously we also received a message
via Facebook from Julian from Bromsgrove, as he and his family are going to Walt
Disney World and they are wanting us to recommend our top five snacks. So here goes with the information we shared on the podcast.
Lets start with Walt Disney World:
- Downtown Disney does offer some cheap
options and I recommend the Earl of Sandwich Brownie Sandwich. This is two of
the most delicious brownies filled and sandwiched together with creamy, sugary and delicious vanilla, chocolate or peanut butter frosting. This is available in Disneyland and WDW.
Napoleon - Photo Credit, Disney Food Blog - EPCOT is a fabulous place to graze and get great snacks at a reasonable price – some are quite generous and can be shared! However, we recommend visiting France and Norway. Firstly, in France you will find the Napoleon. This pastry is topped with a thick layer of icing it has layers of flaky, buttery pastry are with thick, rich vanilla custard cream in between. My local Greggs do one and they are delish! Its available at Les Halles Boulangerie & Pâtisserie for $4.25 And as you are in France, don’t forget the Artisan d’Glace ice cream brioche sandwich for $4. Next stop we mentioned was Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe for their $3 school bread or the rice cream for $2.69.
- Now to the Magic Kingdom and on the edge of Fantasyland, almost Tomorrowland, there is a kiosk called Cheshire Cafe and
they serve up a Gourmet Cake Cup but it is de-constructed and is basically
layers of cake sweet cake and frosting with chocolate decoration on top. This
runs in at just under $5.
Gourmet Cake Cup - Quick mention for the carrot cake cookie from Writers Stop at DHS.
- Talking of cupcakes, WDW does offer the most
amazing array of choices in both parks and resort hotels. From Red velvet to peanut butter, these $5 (or so)
treats are very shareable. So try these!
Butterfinger Cupcake
Now lets move to Disneyland:
- Maurices’s treats offer a range of twists from the
cheddar garlic to the strawberry or chocolate one and are around the $4 mark.
Twists - Photo Credit Disney Parks Blog - Edelweiss snacks in Disneyland have the chilli lime corn on the cob which it great value for just under $5.
- Another great snack is available from the Harbour galley – just near The Haunted Mansion. They do a range of jacket potatoes from around the $7 price point and you can choose from BBQ chicken, bacon and sour cream and shrimp salad. Awesome carb loading for the days where you are hitting the park for a long day.
Next question is about budgets and this is
from Clare in Penkridge. I’m going to WDW for the first time. I do not know
what expenses I should reasonable expect. I have park tickets and I am staying at an off site hotel
and expect to spend three days in WDW (1 MK, 1 DAK/EPCOT and 1 DHS). Can you
advise?
This is difficult as everyone has different
spending habits and at the end of the day you could manage on around $20 a day
but you could aos quite easily spend $400! But here are a few guidelines:
Walt Disney World - Photo Credit, Disney World Website |
- Biggest expense is food. If you eat breakfast off site you only have to purchase two meals in park. So I would budget $35-40 a day providing you are not having any sit down table service meals. This figure sounds high but includes buying water as hydration is important. Remember can bring water in with you too. I buy the small concentrate juice bottles and add that to water bottle or water fountain re-fills.
- Souvenirs range from a few dollars upwards. I like to post myself a postcard, also maybe buy a pin with the year or season on. You can spend $$ on this section so set yourself a budget!
- Ride photos, tend to be a pricey option but if you get one take and you love it, it will set you back around $17. If you want ten or more of such photos or character pictures, Disney do Photopass and in WDW it is around $170 but occasionally you can find vouchers to get it a bit cheaper.
- Things such as headache tablets, sun cream and plasters can be bought inside the park but are expensive. Take your own.
- How are you going to pay for goods? It may seem irrelevant if you live in the USA but as you are from the UK us overseas visitors need to plan ahead as most credit cards charge additional transaction costs for converting currency. I always take currency and a pre-payment card that I load with US dollars prior to my trip.
- Final cost - cell phone use. At Walt Disney World there is wifi in the parks and most hotels offer this free of charge. However, texting and calls if not done via the internet can be costly and leave you with a nasty surprise 3/4 weeks post holidays. For UK guests, the mobile network Three off the ability to take your package with you for no additional cost, where as Vodafone charge £5 a day! So check up on this. In Disneyland, there is no in park wifi. So unless you visit a Disney hotel or certain establishments at Downtown Disney you will have to wait until you return to your hotel.
And that is it for this set of show notes. We will be back on Sunday 30th August with the show notes for show 60 which is a special crossover show! Part one will be released on Window to the Magic Podcast on 24th August (show number 485 1/2) and it begins an in-park adventure, where we begin a quest to ride an attraction but with Paul Barrie in charge, it gets a little confusing! Then, part 2 will be released on Sunday 30th August by us. Listen to both shows, answer the question we pose at the end to win a prize.

Show 57 - Symphonies, Weddings and Listener Assistance
Welcome to the show notes to accompany our podcast, number 57, for 9th
August 2015. Coming up in this episode:
- We share news of the silly symphony release
- Open our listener mailbag to discuss WDW favourites
- Plan a virtual Disney wedding
- Talk about how we see the podcast growing and how you can help
Silly Symphony Collection
We were approached by the team behind the exciting project to share the news about this projects pre-order date. Boy were we excited to do so! So we recommend you watch this eight minute youtube clip (Silly Symphony Clip) that will tell you everything you need to know about the project.
So you will now know, it is a 16-record set containing the audio from the Silly Symphonies. It will become available for pre-order at D23 and then on their website from 17th August 2015. Exciting stuff! So our competition. We asked for your to email us the names of the very first and the last Silly Symphonies to info@disneydreamgirls.com and we will put all the correct names in a hat and draw the lucky winners name out. The prize is one of the limited edition publicity postcards, which are only selectively being given out at D23. Also we will pop in some other swag that we collect during the expo.
Favourites
A listener, Christa from Germany, emailed us to ask about our own personal Disney favourites as well as to help with a date night. Well we love giving out our advice! So to hear what we advise, listen to the show!
Disney Weddings
It has been reported in the San Francisco magazine that a couple recently (and secretly) married on Disney property. Whilst we don't officially agree with any rule breaking, wouldn't it be fun to dream up your own imaginary Disney wedding? We discuss what we would do and invite you to email us your ideas for sharing on a future show.
Changes to the Podcast
Over the past few months we have been trialling being a weekly show by adding a news show. So firstly, we wondered what you thought about this? Secondly, the show is growing! We have added the wonderful Sarah Woloski, from Skywalking Through Neverland, and Jeanie Gallo, of the Princess Papers, to the show. Both these wonderful ladies enable us to have a presence in both theme parks: Sarah being a Disneylander and Jeanie now resident near to Walt Disney World. This means more content direct from the parks and also we are wanting to have more give aways and create more DDG products, other than buttons.
There are lots of ways we can achieve this. On the show we discuss these options in more detail. However, we want to stress, the podcast will be available free of charge via the same methods regardless of what we do. Here are the options:

There are lots of ways we can achieve this. On the show we discuss these options in more detail. However, we want to stress, the podcast will be available free of charge via the same methods regardless of what we do. Here are the options:
- Attract sponsorship
- Continue to self fund
- Investigate using Patreon
So firstly, sponsorship. Lets be honest who watches adverts on TV? I personally forward wind them and its the same when I listen to a podcast - I speed that section up. Also with us being UK based and the majority of our listeners being in the USA, it gets complicated. Also we pride ourselves in being able to freely express our views so we can reflect on Disney services without fear of alienating a sponsor. So we do not think this is the right route.
Second option, we could stay as we are and fund the show on our own. Sure, we can continue doing this. So far we pay for our own fees to have the show available, artwork, buttons and giveaways but the costs are rising and there comes a point it isn't realistic to do so.
Third option, Patreon. Many other podcasters are turning to these services. Listeners visit a secure website and set up a monthly payment, which in turn goes to our account. It is not a lifetime commitment and can be cancelled as and when. We view it as a way of our listeners giving us a financial 'tip' if they have enjoyed the show - like you would for good barista service at a coffee house. We do not see it as compulsory, a massive financial commitment or permanent. So if you subscribe to our show and want to throw in a dollar or so a month, you will have our eternal thanks. If every listener paid a $1 it would make a massive difference and we would then use this to improve the show as outlined above but also buy additional recording and editing equipment.
We do not, and again we want to stress this, want to make anyone feel compelled to donate via Patreon, we haven't as yet even set it up. We would, at this stage, value your input. So please, send us your thoughts to info@disneydreamgirls.com or comment on this blog post.
We will be back on August 9th with another set of notes to support the podcast.
