Disney Dream Girls - Show 436

Welcome to this week's Disney Dream Girls Podcast - show number 436 for Sunday 11th December 2022.

If you would like to ensure you never miss a show, please subscribe to us via your podcast catching place or alternatively you can listen in using the audio player below.

This week the girls take a look at some news, dining packages and Christmas movies.

News

Disneyland Paris has just announced some price increases to their table service and buffet restaurants and some of the increases are rather large. While some restaurants have seen only a few Euro increase there are some with increases as high as 16 Euros!

In Walt Disney World changes to the RunDisney events have surprised the much needed volunteers who make these events possible. A previous reward of a days park ticket has now been reduced to a half day ticket.

Holiday Dining Packages

Over at Disneyland, the Plaza Inn is currently offering two seasonal dining packages.

The Christmas Fantasy Parade Dining Package gives you preferred viewing for the parade with dining between 1pm and 3.30pm. Prices are $40 per adult and $25 per child (plus tax & gratuity).

And then on New Years Eve there is the slightly more expensive New Years Eve Fireworks Dining Package. This will set adults back $125 and children $100 but gives preferred seating for those extra special fireworks.

Christmas Movies

After posing a question over on the Dream Girls Podcast Family page on Facebook the girls discuss some favourite Disney Christmas movies. And the big debate is whether Die Hard can now be classed as a Disney movie as it's available on Disney + and whether it is a Christmas movie!!
