463 Disney Dream Girls Podcast

Welcome to this week's Disney Dream Girls Podcast - show number 463 for Sunday 16th July 2023.

If you would like to ensure you never miss a show, please subscribe to us via your podcast catching place or alternatively you can listen in using the audio player below.

We start this weeks show, after our history segment, to look at what is  has been announced regarding the price hike for the annual passes at Disneyland Paris. 

What we do know, is that they have new names - Bronze, Silver and Gold and for each pass, they have a range of available dates and different benefits. Are you an annual pass holder for DLP? We would love to hear your thoughts. 

We then move on to talking about some of the price rises at the upscale dining locations on Disney Cruise Line. For me, value is still here as the food is devine. However, is getting closer to the point (for me anyway) of pricing me out. 

Our final feature looks at the shrinking menu at The Rose and Crown over at EPCOT. 

It is quite striking how it has shrunk and that the food options (in our opnion) are moving away from being the pub classics we know and love. 

OuWhat do we mean? Well, there are now only two dessert options - gelato or sticky toffee pudding. This has made me a very unhappy podcaster so bring back the trifle!

What are your thoughts on the topics raised this week? Get in touch.

Disney Dream Girls 130 - Via Napoli Wins Everytime

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, show number 130 for Sunday 23rd October 2016. As always, if you wish to listen now, whilst looking at these pictures, click on the player.


Amongst our Disney musings on this weeks show, Michelle shares her experiences of EPCOT dining at Via Napoli against The Rose and Crown. She thought it would be a fun idea to have a starter and entree in Italy with her friend, Youtube video host of The Big Fat Panda Show John Saccheri, then have dessert in the UK pavillion. 

What could go wrong? Well we dined on delicious food in Italy, however the desserts at EPCOT were more of an interpretation of English 'puddings' rather than the delicious desserts Michelle is more used to. At this point, insert Jayne getting cross that the trifle did not have sherry in it nor any sponge fingers!

Arancini - delightful Via Napoli Starter

Huge Via Napoli Pizza

A Very UnBritish Trifle at The Rose and Crown
