Disney Dream Girls 121 - Listener Questions

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, for Sunday 21st August 2016. As always, if you wish to listen whilst reading, click on the icon below.

 
Coming up on today's show, we have the answers to some listener questions. From how would Michelle re-introduce Jayne to Disneyland, to creating an afternoon tea to where to eat at Disney Springs the trio of Dream Girls will endeavour to find you the answers. 

It has been a number of years since Jayne last visited Disneyland, in fact Cars Land was a construction zone! So our first question looked at how Michelle would showcase the best of the Disneyland Resort to Jayne. 

Disneyland in a day!

So how would you tackle Disneyland if you only had one day? Please email us - info@disneydreamgirls.com as we would love to know!

The next question, called for us to create our very own afternoon tea. As you may have read via the Disney Parks Blog, they are introducing a Halloween Trick or Tea at Steakhouse 55 this fall. What would you like to see in a tea? Whilst Jayne went down the traditional, ultra English route... Michelle went a little off track and managed to mash up a tea come meet and greet. We would love to hear your thoughts!

Finally, our wonderful princess Jeanie answers the final question about dining at Disney Springs. With so many options it is really difficult to choose, especially if, like our listener who posed the question, you are only there for one meal. Jeanie offered up two options but to hear every mouthwatering mouthful you will have to listen but we will give you a clue, it involved Art Smith and BB Wolf!
We will be back next week with some more Disney fun, but until then, keep upto date with Michelle's travels in Walt Disney World by ensuring you follow all of our social media sites:

Disney Dream Girls 119 - Olympics Disney Mash Up

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls podcast, show number 119 for Sunday 7th August. As usual, if you wish to listen to the show, whilst reading the blog - click on the image below.  

 
On this show, Michelle and Jayne start by reviewing the Disney news. This section includes news of entertainment ending at Disneyland (as the 60th celebrations come to an end), Disney possibly tracking your footwear and the future of scoping in the parks. Then, our main feature. This idea was sent to us by listener (and dear friend) Anthony Markham. It ties in to the start of Olympic fever with us compiling our very own Team Disney to compete. Along the way, there are a few giggles as we compile this very tongue in cheek team. Why not join in the fun and  let us know your team!

Disney Dream Girls 108 - Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, show 108 for 22nd May 2016.
 
On this show, we start by taking a tongue-in-cheek look at the Disney property portfolio (from the viewpoint of an estate agent) and then our resident princess - Jeanie - discusses the opening of Town Centre at Disney Springs. Whilst on the show she mentions several eateries, below we share photos and some additional information on B. B. Wolf and The Daily Poutine.  So let's start with B. B. Wolf.

B. B. Wolf is themed around the 1933 Disney Silly Symphony of The Three Little Pigs and there are some cute little nods to this within the theme such as the brick chimney and the wolf shaped weather vane. Its sells sausage and tasty sausage at that!

Looks amazing? Well Jeanie can confirm that each and every one tastes fabulous. She was particularly impressed with the Italian veggie sausage, which she said had a lovely texture, and tasted sublime (a pleasant change from the usual tofu variety). Each sausage is served with a zingy side of crispy house-made pickles. Prices range from $8.49 to $10.39. Soft drinks, as well as two draft beers, are available.

Next port of call was The Daily Poutine. This is a dish I have never eaten... I know where have I been hiding! Thanks to Jeanie, I know now this is a Canadian speciality based on thick cut fries (or as Brits like me call them - chunky chips), cheese curds and beef gravy. The store is nestled across from Amorettes (which we also discuss on this show) and has a stunning fountain surrounded by pretty flowers right by the queue line.

Four varieties are currently being served; the classic, Latin, Italian and French. Each one looks delicious and are distinctly different. We discuss each on the podcast but I can't help but say that the servings are very generous and the Latin is a very unique take - not involving fried potato at all!

Both B. B. Wolfe and The Daily Poutine accept the Disney Dining Plan Counter Service credit but as there is no dessert option, they offer two non-alcoholic drinks instead. 

We hope we have tantalised your taste-buds... however, there are lots more detail on the podcast so please give it a listen and get in touch when you try these dishes! We will be back next week with some more Disney theme park fun.

On this show, we started a very exciting completition to find the ultimate Disney boat ride and where else could we begin our search but at the original park, Disneyland.

We start running through the attractions ourselves, with lots of fun facts, then we are joined by our friend and past guest, Mr Thomas Allison (who also hosts the Cruise Dudes Podcast and appears on the Disgeeks Podcast).

The show discusses how you can get involved! All you have to do is vote, from your least to most favourite boat ride on our Facebook page (search Disney Dream Girls). All entrants will be entered into a prize draw also. The winning attraction will be entered, along with the attraction chosen by Tommy, in to the grand final.

Then we have our good friend, Jeanie Gallo join us on the show to discuss her recent re-visit to the Boathouse restaurant, located at Disney Springs. If you recall, Jeanie didnt have a magical time on her first visit. So the management invited her back and she shares her review on air. Did she find calmer waters on this trip? Here are some pictures to tempt you!

The food sounds amazing, the drinks are incredibly creative and very drinkable but what pulls it all together is the fabulous theming. 

Jeanie tried three dishes and two different drinks during her visit. For full description, listen to the podcast but below are some of her pictures. 

Tanis Tacos

The tacos are a devine Lost City Specialty!  Filled with falafel (traditionally made from chick peas and a great filling vegetarian option), shredded lettuce, and cucumber-tomato salad. For just under $10 they made for a great filling option to have alongside a cocktail.

Squid! Why'd it have to be squid!

The squid is calmari (tentacles not rings) served on a flatbread with a pepper harissa spread, Jeanie highly recommends this dish for its quality and quantity.

Air Pirate's Pretzels

For the sheer fun factor of how this arrives it is worth ordering! It flies to your table, via the fabulously fun staff, and it is a stack of delectable pretzels with perfectly matched dipping sauces.

Obviously, Jeanie wouldn't visit anywhere without sampling the drinks and she recommends the cool-headed monkey!

Cool Headed Monkey Cocktail

If you make a visit to Jocks, please let us know your thoughts! And until next week - see you soon!
