On this week's show,  we start by chatting through some Disney history and then move on to some Disney chat.

Our first topic sees us help out listener Amber Nichols with a Disneyland Hotel dilemma. Amber is planning her first trip to California - what top tips would you give her?

Then, we hop back to Disneyland to share some delicious details about Eva Williams Frank's trip to Club 33.

To end the show, we talk about how we can enjoy the parks more as adults rather than families in the theme parks. 

One massive part of this - for Michelle - is the ability to Disney bound. Are you a fan of dressing in your own interpretation of a beloved Disney character? We would love to see your outfits.

Michelle is a big fan of Disney bounding and has made her own outfits in the past but also has also bought some. She speaks of a dress she bought from The Disney Store and the sub par quality it was when compared to garments she has made or bought from others. 

As mentioned on the show, Michelle is a regular customer of   https://www.queenursulauk.co.uk/ who designs for her own store and prides itself on being incredibly size inclusive.

That's about it for this week! But you can always keep in touch with us via our social media channels.

Kat and Lewis back in the day when they could travel
We start the show with talking about what the last couple of years have been like for them; being so isolated from the world of Disney in Perth, Australia. Then, discuss their future travel plans. 

Then, we much our way through the highlights of the 2022 DCA Food and Wine Festival and they share some of the items they are wanting to try.

As we love our sweet treats, how about a mango churro or even a Snickers Caramel-peanut milk chocolate Mickey macaron but last but not least the raspberry spiral ration. Anything caught your eye yet?

As always, there are treats for every taste and we all fell for the old world aged white cheddar lager soup with toasted fig and prosciutto sandwich.

There are also lots of beverages to choose from and below is the blue peach basil cocktail and the smoked pineapple bourbon. Which looks the most appealing to you?

If you plan a trip - why not let us know your thoughts?

We share our list of our favourite DLP snacks and agree that our in-park favourite was the pineapple whip however, we did like quite a lot from the Disney Village area. 

Then, just literally as we finished recording, Disneyland Paris released some amazing food news. They will will be upping their snack game by having the Mickey bar (and lots of other new to DLP items) available in the park!

Yes the Mickey bar will be coming to DLP!
