If you want to listen via this page, just click the player below or alternatively find us on iTunes, Libsyn, Stitcher Radio, or any good podcast catching apps.

We welcome on to this week's podcast, Christine Surh, the wonderful travel agent that has helped Michelle book her last few Disney trips. 

Christine shares with Michelle details about her recent Walt Disney World trip including: four parks in one day, accomodation at The Grand Floridian and Carribean Beach, plus a fantastic photo shoot that cost a mere $50! So read the notes and listen to the show!

 Grand Floridian Accomodation

Christine was given some special Disney magic of her own! An upgrade to the Grand Floridian!

 

Enchanted Rose Lounge

As she was staying at the Grand Floridian, it would have been rude to miss a trip to the lounge! Christine enjoyed a cheese platter, beef sliders (not shown) and a lavender fog cocktail.

Special Photoshoot

During her stay, Christine has books a special photoshoot. As she had participated in a virtual Run Disney event, she wanted a medal photoshoot to go with it. You can book your very own 20 minute session for just $50!

Gideon's Bakehouse

It seems every guest we have on the show comes on to talk about Gideon's! Have you been? What was your favourite?

Four Parks In One Day

 

Christine also shared her experiences of completing four parks in one day - during Covid restrictions! Michelle completed this herself back in 2019 and it was a lot of fun to do. What 'rules' would you put in place if your were to attempt such a challenge?

That's it for this week's show - we hope you enjoyed it!

355 The Trip - Walt Disney World March 2021

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, show number 355, for Sunday 21st March 2021.

If you want to listen, whilst reading these notes, just click the player below or alternatively find us on iTunes, Libsyn, Stitcher Radio, or any good podcast catching apps. 

On this week's podcast, we are joined by our very good friend - Anthony Markham - as he shares details of his recent Walt Disney World trip. 

Anthony drove from North Carolina and met his friend Josh there. They choose to stay at Pop Century and found the resort to be working well and did not find any issues with thee room nor transportation. 

Anthony split his time so that he could visit each park once and managed a half day trip also to Disney's Hollywood Studios. He was there just before Flower and Garden began so benefitted from the lighter crowds as well as being able to admire the beautiful toparies. 

EPCOT looked stunning but alas no food booths were open and neither was the much anticipated Remy's Ratatouille Adventure.

Anthony managed to partake in a range of delicious foods and highly praised the new plant based Loco Moco at Kona Cafe, whilst Josh tucked into the sampler platter. 

We will be sharing more pictures from Anthony's trip over on our instagram page this week. 

That's about it for this week - we hope you enjoy the show and we will be back next week for some more Disney chatter.

314 Merchandise and Memories

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, show number 314, for Sunday 10th May 2020. If you want to listen, whilst reading these notes, just click the player below or alternatively find us on iTunes, Libsyn, Stitcher Radio, or via any good podcast catching apps.
On this week's show, we give an update on our upcoming trips, how Michelle will celebrate her lockdown birthday and then we muse about merchandise and memories. 

Merchandise
Star Wars Day saw Shop Disney fail its customers. Michelle managed to get the UK key, which was free of charge. However, the pins disappeared and there was not much else. Whereas the USA site had much more merchandise but you couldn't get on it! Their key was $12.95. Sadly, Michelle was unable to get the special Starbucks Star Wars mugs - currently, the site has them on backorder for July. 

However, Michelle is over the moon to have finally ordered the Lego Disneyland Station station set - updates soon!

Disney Sentimental Items
Jayne shared the story of her Star Wars tattoo on her left shoulder. This is a symbol taken from Star Wars Rebels, representing the character Sabine Wren.

The tattoo marks the spot where Dave's hand was placed. This was done to connect with a memory from Star Wars Celebration in London in 2016. This memory links to when Jayne met Dave Filoni and below there is a great picture of them. 

Michelle
Michelle shared the story of her Disney Pandora bracelet; she began collecting charms all the way back in 2006! She now has sufficient to fill a necklace and have some to spare. Each one of the charms on the necklace is linked to a memory.

Michelle has now completed a necklace and has a range of charms. From gifts from friends to the charm given to her in 2018 when her now-husband proposed to her in the hub at the Magic Kingdom using the attached Mickey and Minnie charm; she has a pretty impressive collection.

On this week's show, we are joined by James H Carter II (of the Creepy Kingdom Podcast Network) to complete a fun challenge - to create a darker Disney theme park.

So here is the challenge we set James - put together a brand new theme park with ten attractions and these can be from any Disney park. When selecting these attractions, they can be from the past, present or future.

So here is the park James created, which he named Disneyland James.

1. A trio of mansions - Phantom Manor, Haunted Mansion and Mystic Manor

2. Snow White's Scary Adventure

3. ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter

7. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

8. Pirates of the Caribbean

9. Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin
