599 The Disney Dream Girls

Welcome to the show for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast - show number 599 for Sunday 14th June 2026.


As always, if you wish to listen to the podcast direct - click the player below.
On this week's show, we discuss some amazing ways you can save literally hundreds of dollars on your hotel accommodation. Additionally, Michelle's grandson joins the show for his trip report from their DLP trip. 

Using A DVC Rental Service

We would never recommend a service we haven't used before so as Michelle has used David's Vacation Club Rental before, that is the company we contacted for some top tips. 

To find out more, visit David's Vacation Club Rental 

Booking at Swan and Dolphin

This Marriot hotel is another location that Michelle has stayed at before and will be staying at in August 2026. To find out more, visit Swan and Dolphin

Again - both of the above companies are promoted here without any financial gain for us. It is purely us acknowledging their service having used them before for holiday bookings.  

That's it for this week! 

We do have a Patreon Page and if you would like to drop us a $1 a month (or more) it would really help us with the running costs. This also keeps our show from having to add adverts in order to keep the show up and running. Supporters from $5 or above get additional podcast content - exclusively just for them. 

Finally, we encourage you to follow (and interact with) us on our our socials - @disdreamgirls our email address is info@disneydreamgirls.com and join us as on our Facebook Page - Disney Dream Girls Podcast Family.

On this week's podcast, we start with some Disney history, celebrate a female Disney imagineer and then talk about 15 Disney rabbits you should know!

15 Disney Rabbits Your Should Know

As you are listening along, can you name the 15 rabbits that are on our list? I must admit, Jayne struggled a little!

That's about it for this week!

Mousekeeping - What we Know 

According to the Disney Parks Blog, daily service will commence by the end of February - as yet Michelle's booking still states every other day as the offering. Have you a resort booking? Please let us know what service you get on your upcoming trip.

372 The Disney Magic Staycation Review

Welcome to the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, show number 372, for Sunday 1st August 2021.

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 app.

On this week's show, we are joined by our own travel industry expert - Martin Walker from Holiday Hamster. 

Martin has recently returned from two Staycation cruises - one on the Disney Magic and the other on Celebrity Cruise. 

Martin, his wife Hayley and son Jake
On the show, Martin shared details about booking, cabins, dining, characters and lots lots more!

Listen in to find out about the sundae on the side
Firstly, we are all about the food! The Disney Magic has 3 evening dining options that are included with the cost of your cruise - Rapunzel's Royal Table, Lumiere's and Animator's Palate and as you can see the food is plentiful and delicious. Martin shares lots of details that will get you salivating!

Mickey waffles for breakfast
Animator's Palate Fun
Another fun thing to do onboard is shopping! Sadly, all purchases in the shops attract a 20% tax. However, Martin's top tip is to pay with a card that does not charge a currency exchange cost. 

Hayley and her new Dooney and Bourke
A big difference between the two cruises Martin had enjoyed was the characters on the Disney Magic. He was very impressed that they were over 35 different characters available to meet - all in a socially distanced way! Plus Disney Dreams stage show and Freezing the Night Away show. 

Over the week, we will be sharing more pictures on our Instagram account.

We hope you have enjoyed the show and we will be back next week with more Disney fun.

Martin can be found @Holiday_Hamster on Twitter or via his website www.holidayhamster.co.uk As a client of Holiday Hamster - I can highly recommend their services.

328 A Dynamic Duo of Disney Fans Discuss Paris

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, show number 328, for Sunday 16th August 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 any good podcast catching apps.
On this week's show, we welcome a duo of DLP fans to share with us their experience of making two trips to Disneyland Paris since it re-opened last month. This show was recorded prior to the change in quarantine rules when travelling to France from the UK.

Meet Daniel and Jamie; a pair of devoted Disneyland Paris fans. Daniel has been visiting DLP since 1992 whereas Jamie is a more recent convert, having been visiting for the past ten years. Once the parks re-opened they made two trips on consecutive weekends and they kindly joined us to share their opinions on the park with us.

Hotels
At the moment, the only Disney 'on-site' hotels that are accepting guests are the Newport Bay Club, Disney's Santa Fe, and Disney's Hotel Cheyenne; though this is changing constantly.
Daniel and Jamie stayed at the Newport Bay Club as well as at an off-site hotel and were impressed by the Covid measures in place in both locations. The found no need to use the bus from Newport Bay Club as the walk was quite short and the security procedure straight forwards to gain entrance to the parks.

In-Park  
Once in the park, there are plenty of sanitising stations (pre-eateries, shops, and at the entry of attraction queues), and cast members will insist and watch you as you use them. Masks are to be worn and removing them for attractions or photography is not tolerated. In fact, they had seen people been escorted out of the park for non-compliance.

Whilst they do not have any 'relaxation zones' (a place where you are permitted to remove your mask in the park), if you are seated and eating food or having a drink it is permitted to remove your mask.

Food  
They were impressed by the table-service meals they had (as well as the quick service) but found the buffet's re-imagined offerings catered more for a European market so for their second trip they decided to cancel their bookings.
Bookings can be made via the Disneyland Paris App or by telephoning 60 days in advance and this is highly recommended. 

Characters  
They are both self-confessed Disney character junkies and as you can see from the pictures - DLP has done a fabulous job making the characters visible but socially distant.

Prior to visiting they urge you to download the Lineberty app as a lot of the experiences in DLP have to be made via this. 

That's about it for this week. To find out more about our fabulous guests, you can find them on Instagram and youtube @dandjdisney or on their DLP dedicated page on Facebook - Disneyland Paris Advice.
