Which Hard Ticket Event Is Right For Me?

On the show, we discuss the options available if you wish to pay the extra dollars to attend one of the hard ticket events. These are ideal if your time is short and you want to gain extra park time. For the Magic Kingdom you have the option of early mornings or late nights. However, on the show we discuss the option of checking the park calendar to gain late night access to the park - for free! Some select nights you will find the Magic Kingdom open to 11pm or 12 midnight.

There is also the evening Disney Animal Kingdom event (this costs $125) and also the much anticipated Villains event, which is $139.

Disneyland Update
We then move on to discussing Disneyland.  We comment about the construction walls, how cast members have been blocked from park entry on their off days May through August and that the Food and Wine event is rolling onwards through April. Plus if you visit prior to Easter, you will be able to meet Mr Bunny himself!

DDG 256 Disney with Deborah Wolfe

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, show number 256 for Sunday 14th April 2019.  If you want to listen, whilst reading these notes, just click the player below or alternatively find us in iTunes, Libsyn, on Stitcher Radio or via any good podcast catching app.

Coming up on this weeks show, Michelle is joined by Deborah Wolfe to talk about the Toy Story Land hard ticket event, Run Disney and the difference between Disney Cruise Line offerings and those from Royal Carribean.

Deborah loves Run Disney and has taken part in an array of events. For her, her costume is a major part of the event! 

Have you a fantastic Run Disney story, costume or picture to share? We would love to hear from you!

After that, Deborah talks about her experiences of attending the Early Magic Morning Event at Disney Hollywood Studios. 

Since recording, the breakfast has been moved to the Backlot Express and timings can vary with some guests being able to gain entry at 7am (purely to eat breakfast) and then make their way to the land at 7.30am.


You, as well as the other guests who have purchased this package, will have the land to yourself until 9am (day guests will be arriving from 8.45am). Breakfast is also served until 10am.

Breakfast is stated as all you care to enjoy for the cold offerings (eg the yoghurt bar and pastries) and whilst it says  one hot item in reality you can have more than that.
 
This event is great if you want to be able to have multiple rides on the attractions in this land and a theme park breakfast. However, at around $ a minute it is expensive.

If you want to find out how to book or just more information, visit the WDW website.

Then the discussion moved on to cruises. Both Michelle and Deborah have experience of travelling with Royal Carribean and Disney so between them they were able to discuss the differences and their opinion on whether the additional cost of Disney cruises was worth it. 

We also gave information for listener Vikki Marie, who will be taking her family on their first cruise this coming summer! 

Then that's about it for this week, we will be back next week with some more Disney chat!

It has been a fair old while since clan Phipps have trod foot in Walt Disney World. Yes, they have had a family trip to Disneyland Paris and Michelle and Jayne also had a girls trip there but its coming up for 6 years now. We have spoken about it on the show numerous times about how to cope with the homesickness and Jayne's response has been lots of Disney ink and joining several costuming groups.

Well it looks like there are trip plans being made!

Keep listening in as you will be hearing more about these plans - plus lots lots more very soon! Disney Weddings

For many, a Disney wedding is the ultimate goal but the price tag is quite high. However, there are ways to make this happen without spending the $. We take a look at some of the packages, places and dreams you can make in Walt Disney World to become a member of the 'I got married at Disney' club.
