Coming up on this weeks show, we decide to tempt your taste buds with some new delacies that are being offered in the parks and then we are joined by Kat and Lewis to discuss which is the best Big Thunder and along the way, share some little known facts.

First to food, in Walt Disney World we have ice-cream sundaes! A 12 ounce clear cup is filled with soft serve ice-cream with three choices of additions. The first is the berry blast sundae with: poundcake, blueberries, strawberries and blue cotton candy topped with a whole strawberry, strawberry candy bites and cream. But it is not just any cream - it is vanilla bean cream and it seems to be all the rage this year at WDW.

Secondly, is the churro chocolate sundae. Chocolate, ice-cream and two uber long pieces of churro with lashings of hot fudge sauce oh did I also say more of the aforementioned vanilla bean cream? Finished off with a flurry of chocolate.  

The final one is the apple pie sundae - you can't get more American than that! This one has apple pie pockets - plural! That's right - three! Plus there is caramel sauce, caramel popcorn and caramel candy bites. The price? $6.50 and available from lunchtimes onwards from the kiosk by Test Track.

In addition, at WDW there is also the Do It Yourself desert party at the Grand Floridian. Arrive early; it starts at 7.00pm and runs til 9.30pm. Once there, you can buy alcoholic drinks and themed cupcakes in the setting themed around Alice in Wonderland.

In Disneyland the hot ticket is the I am Bread Jalepino cheese sourdough bread, currently selling in DCA for $8.50.

Moving on to drinks, Jayne managed to find some interesting drinks to talk about this week, as Dockside Margarita's - located at Disney Springs - will be selling some old and new favourites. A firm favourite has to be the return of the Kungaloosh plus other Pleasure Island club drinks such as Bell Bottom, Tech-no and Punchline. Prices are $9 upwards for the alcoholic versions starting 29th June through til 28th September 2017.

On to our second feature, we discuss each incarnation of Big Thunder Mountain (or as in some of the parks it also is known as - Railway). Having Kat and Lewis on board to discuss the far east parks is a massive bonus as we have yet to experience these. From tips such as the goat trick to the speeds, we share what we know and hope you will let us know which is your favourite.

We have an absolutely crammed full show for you today! We are reviewing the Guardians of the Galaxy new attraction at Disney California Adventure and then we have a review of Chef Art Smiths Homecomin' which is in Disney Springs.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Tommy gave a great review of this new attraction and he hastens to add it is a thorough, new working of the building and it has resulted in a fabulously themed attraction with a new story, re-rideability and a whole heap of Disney merchandise for you to acquire!

Entrance lobby

He was incredibly careful not to spoil it for you but gave enough detail to build this excitement til your next trip. Hope you enjoy listening to the show and remember - once you have ridden it - let us know your thoughts!

Homecomin' Kitchen
I'm hoping the wise words of our guest Alisha and the pictures below will get you running to book your ADR's for this restaurant. I will be honest, it is a style of cuisine that is a challenge for me. However, straight after recording the show, Tommy and I booked a reservation to go together in August!

Lets take a look at some of the starters we discussed...

Shrimp Cocktail

Jasper Board

Hush Puppies

I must admit, the food looks delicious! Alisha was totally correct when she said that the best way forward is to go in a group and everyone get a different meals because I would love to try a bit of everyones!

Chef Art Smith

As to main courses, there is a wide variety of dishes - this is not a one trick pony establishment but for many the chicken is the reason to go there... take a taste and Alisha is sure you will agree!

Chicken and Doughnuts

If you aren't full there is a range of desserts that you can enjoy plus a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. For something slightly different, Alisha recommends the Moonshine flight!

They are well-known for their Moonshine
