289 12 Days of Disney Experiences To Us

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, show number 289 for 15th December 2019.  If you want to listen, whilst reading these notes, just click the player below or alternatively find us on iTunesLibsyn, Stitcher Radio or via any good podcast catching app. Welcome to this week's podcast and this week's show we will be talking about some items of news that caught our eye, acts of kindness plus our alternate twelve days of Christmas. 

Beaches and Cream
Bookings go live on the 26th of December for this refurbished and extended eatery. The concept shows art a more sophisticated (some may say toned down) version of its prior self. For us, it looks like it has retained the original charm but let's wait till it opens its door because we all know that concept to reality can lead to changes. However, the menu has old favourites and some new additions including plant-based options and cookie fries!

Magic Happens
Starting on 28th February 2020, in Disneyland, there is a new parade. Whilst we are loving the concept art, the name does bring about other not so magical images to our heads! The floats look amazing - don't you agree?
As you all know, Michelle's Dad recently passed away. In his memory she has been sharing, via our Instagram, 12 days of kindness. Michelle spoke a little about these on the show and shared some of the things she had been doing. Do you have any stories of Disney Acts of Kindness you would like to share?

We ended the show with a twelve days of Christmas countdown. Well, basically it turned into a very expensive list of 12 things we would love to do connected to Disney. Do you have a list? Why not share it via one of our social media outlets. 

Well, that's just about it for this week, as usual, you can contact us via Email: info@disneydreamgirls.com

288 Back to Talking Disney

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, show number 288  for 8th December 2019.  If you want to listen, whilst reading these notes, just click the player below or alternatively find us on iTunesLibsyn, Stitcher Radio or via any good podcast catching app.
Welcome to this week's podcast! On the show we talk about a few Christmas gifts we quite fancy, Jayne informs Michelle who Baby Yoda is and we share our upcoming excitement about new attractions that are coming.


Christmas Lists
We spoke on this week's show a little bit about some of the items that caught our eye on Shop Disney. Here's just a few that caught our eye!

UP Pendant Necklace by Rebecca Hook - $125
Mickey Mouse Trinket Box by Arribas $29.00, which can be hand etched.
Here is an item Michelle will not be buying - mainly due to the $9,500 price tag!

Michelle was a little confused by all the recent Baby Yoda talk but thankfully Jayne having seen some of the new Star Wars 'The Mandalorian' was able to bring Michelle up to speed with all this cuteness!!
Remy's Ratatouille Adventure is coming to Epcot this coming Summer and pictures are just beginning to get released. Both Jayne & Michelle are big fans of the version over at Disneyland Paris called Ratatouille: L'Aventure Totalement Toquee de Remy and are excited to see this motion-based, trackless 3D dark ride arrive at Epcot.

Another new ride coming in March 2020 is the much anticipated Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway which will be housed in the Chinese Theatre at Disney's Hollywood Studio. The ride will combine trackless technology, an original music score, audio animatronics and something called 2.5D!
