We start this weeks show discussing on the week in Disney history and what a week ahead it was (or is that is?). Robert Iger was born in 1951, Whitney Houston passed away, Ghiradelli Soda Fountain opened in Downtown Disney Marketplace and finally Lillian Marie Bounds was born in 1899.

Lillian and Walt Disney

Michelle and Jayne then chat through where they would visit if they had the chance of an all expences paid trip.

Who wants to join us in Tokyo?

After that, we share a listeners question about dining at Disneyland Paris. 

Cafe Aagrabah

Tracey Farley asked for recommendations of places to eat in Disneyland Paris using the half board dining plan. So our resident DLP expert, Liz Read, suggested some of her favourite places and also advised that post April, breakfasts can also be taken in the hotels.

Newport Bay Hotel

Then, Jayne checks with Michelle that her August trip reservations at Beaches and Cream would be safe - following the announcement that the soda shop would be closing for a lengthly refurbishment from August to December 2019.

After that, we play guess the Disney souvenir price.

Disney Dream Girls 155 - Deluxe Dining Dilemma and DLP Get Prepared!

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls podcast for show number 155 for Sunday 23rd April 2017. As always, if you wish to listen to the podcast, whilst reading this blog, all you have to do is click on the audio player below. Alternatively, our podcast can be found in places that host podcasts such as iTunes (click here to subscribe) and Stitcher Radio.

 
Coming up on this weeks show, we have two features based around visits to two different Disney theme parks. 

The first feature is thanks to listener John Kretz, he is planning a trip is December 2017 to Walt Disney World. This will be his first Walt Disney World trip and it is to celebrate a special birthday. He has opted to stay at the Boardwalk, then move over to The Portofino Bay at Universal and then end his stay at The Wilderness Lodge. With his package, he has got the deluxe dining package. This consists of:

• 3 meals (can be table service or quick service) 
• 2 snacks 
• 1 refillable mug

This can be bought for currently $106.68 per person (aged 10+). In doing the maths to check its value (if paying for the plan rather than having it as a dining promotion), you can really get great value on this and we will look at how to maximise this on a later podcast. 

On the podcast, we discuss the many places he has chosen to eat. On the whole, we agree with most of them but we do offer a few alternatives and suggestions to his schedule. To whet your appetite, here are some temping food dishes that John may indeed try on his trip.

The Boathouse - John must add a reservation here!

Kona Cafe is a must! Here's some pancakes

Tiffins - for exquisite food

Amorettes in Disney Springs - another must

We know John will have an amazing time. If you would like to give him any suggestions, please get in touch info@disneydreamgirls.com or comment on our Facebook feed for this show.

We now move on to the big Disney news... we (as in Jayne and Michelle) have booked a girls trip to Disneyland Paris! May 2017 will see us both travel to the park and see all of the wonders of the 25th celebrations to come back and share with you. The last time we were in a Disney park together was in 2013 and needless to say, we are both incredibly excited for the trip. 

We couldn't have planned it without the wonderful assistance from our friends over at Holiday Hamster, so if you are thinking of booking a holiday - Disney or otherwise - please get in touch with them and I can assure you that they will take good care of you.
