281 Disney for kids, for foodies and the wallet conscious

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, show number 281 for Sunday 13th October 2019.  If you want to listen, whilst reading these notes, just click the player below or alternatively find us in iTunes, Libsyn, on Stitcher Radio or via any good podcast catching app. On this week's show, we chat through a range of topics before sharing an interview with Tiffany, Daniel and Abigail Morse. Then we end the show talking about Ohana.

Little Mermaid Takes Over The Coral Reef

When we heard the brief details sent out - i.e. just changing the names of food we were a tad disappointed so we decided to talk through how we envisage this! We would love Ursula to meet and greet with a set backdrop and perhaps Prince Eric and Ariel could wander around. May be even a Sebastian being brough out under a cloche! What do you think? What other restaurants would you like to have turned over to this style of dinner event?

Halloween Disney Delights to Tantalise and Terrorise

Next, we share some top treats to try whilst in the parks during the Halloween season. What do you want to try?

The Morse Family
We welcome back to the show, Tiffany and her children Daniel and Abigail and what a delightful chat we had! Abigail and Daniel presented a list of their top eateries and these were places that they highly recommend for kids.

Then Tiffany shares details about her visit to Walt Disney World and how she found Galaxy's Edge on Opening Day.
Ohana This August, Michelle (together with her husband Tom and Tommy and Lena) ate dinner at Ohana.

The price for Ohana is $55 (approximately including tax but not tip) or one dining credit. It is one of those reservations you have to make at the round about 180 day pre-trip mark.

The meal starts with pineapple bread, then salad, stir-fry vegetables, pork dumplings, chicken wings and noodles.

Then, the endless supply skewers - sirloin steak, chicken and shrimp.

To close the meal is their famous bread pudding with banana and caramel sauce.  

The meal was delicious and if you have a big appetite then you will definately get value for money.  However, for people like myself, with smaller appetites, it is a lot of money. So... how about visiting the Tambu Lounge - which is next door - then ordering from their menu. You are able to get a single serve skewer (it comes with a trio of the protein offerings) for $13, the bread, noodles and the dessert. This would be my top tip and also - no reservation is needed!

Another consideration, is that we felt the service was incredibly rushed - in and out in 70 minutes. Have you eaten here? Is it a must do?

Well that's just about it for this week, as usual, you can contact us via Email: info@disneydreamgirls.com Follow our posts on Twitter @DisDreamGirls and Instagram @disdreamgirls. Plus don't forget our Facebook page by searching Disney Dream Girls.

Disney Dream Girls 201 - The Disney Imagineer Interaction

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, show number 201 for Sunday 19th March 2018. If you want to listen, whilst you read these notes, all you have to do is press the green triangle on the audio player below.

Coming up on todays show, Michelle is joined by former Disney imagineer Terri Hardin to do what Terri does best - talk!

Our discussion began with Terri talking about some of the projects she is currently involved in. The first being the third sculpture in her impressions range, namely Baby Groot.

 

The next in the set will be the three hitch hiking ghosts from the much loved Haunted Mansion but they will be presented in a manner not attempted by any other artist! For the details you will have to listen to the show!

Another project Terri is working on is a Paris Retreat. Where you can by guided, by Terri, through not just Disneyland Paris but also Paris itself. 

Those of you who are avid listeners of the show, you will know that Terri worked on a number of attractions at Disneyland Paris. On her retreat, you will get to hear about them from conception to visualisation and then be able to question and discuss these with her right by the attraction.

What makes this tour unique is that you get the opportunity to appreciate Paris through the eyes of an artist. On the retreat, prepare for some foodie elements too as Terri loves her fine cuisine!

The final item Terri discussed was a very special creative course she is planning for October 2018. During this event she will tease out your creativity and guide you through the  how draw and she also mentioned playing with clay! If you wish to register an interest in this, or any of the other mention items please get in touch with either Michelle or Terri. Terri can be reached via her website http://terrihardin.com/

Then the discussion turned to Galaxy's Edge (aka Star Wars Land) and its upcoming opening in Disneyland in 2019. Terri had heard some rumours about opening day and she did not mince her words!

Along the way a few other topics were discussed but the show ended with Terri sharing a few details about the Muppets. Many of you may not realise that Terri is also a highly regarded puppeteer, having worked on previous Muppet shows and films such as Ghostbusters and The Flintsones. So Michelle couldn't let her go with out discussing that and also sharing her Nicolas Cage story.
