Main Street Magic - A Walt Disney World Podcast

We dive into Disney’s Memory Maker, the ultimate way to capture and relive every magical moment of your Walt Disney World vacation. We’ll break down what Memory Maker is, how much it costs, and what’s included—from attraction photos and Magic Shots to character meet-and-greets and dining experiences. Whether you're striking a pose, caught in a scream, or making a silly face with your travel crew, ride photos are a snapshot in time that bring the magic home with you. But not all ride photos are created equal so we’re talking about them all. We’ll explore what makes a great PhotoPass experience, from the timing and placement of the camera to the quality of the image and how well it captures the spirit of the attraction. Some offer the perfect moment to show off your themed shirts or matching ears, while others might catch you totally off guard. A few might leave you wondering where the camera even was, while others deliver the kind of image you’ll want to frame the moment you get home. As Walt Disney World regulars, we’ve had our fair share of ride photos—some amazing, some hilarious, and a few we’d rather forget. In this episode, we’ll reflect on the overall experience of these in-ride captures, how they add to the magic, and which ones really stand out. These images are part of the joy and surprise that comes with every Disney visit. It’s time to say “cheese,” hold on tight, and find out which Walt Disney World attraction PhotoPass comes out on top!

We’re heading to EPCOT for a snack-filled adventure around World Showcase and beyond, where we put some of the park’s most popular bites to the test in our ongoing series: Eat It or Beat It. This time, we’re diving fork-first into ten of EPCOT’s most talked-about treats—judging each one based on taste, value, portion size, and overall experience to help you decide if they’re worth your time (and money) or if you should skip them altogether. We’re talking about long-standing staples like School Bread from Norway, the buttery Fish and Chips from the UK, and the beloved Traditional Poutine near Canada, as well as sweet sensations like the Liege Waffle at Connections Café, Pretzel Bread Pudding from Germany, and the decadent Werther’s Original Caramel Snickerdoodle Cookie Sandwich. We even cool things down with a trip to Japan for a refreshing Kakigōri, explore maple-flavored goodness with Maple Popcorn, and wrap things up with the warm-pressed ice cream-filled Croque Glacé from France. Plus, we dig into the history and cultural roots of each item, share fun facts you may not know, and offer our own verdicts: Eat It or Beat It? Whether you’re a Disney foodie looking to plan your next snack crawl or just hungry for some EPCOT flavor from home, this episode is a can’t-miss guide to the best (and not-so-best) bites in the park.

It’s March Madness season, and the tournament fun continues on this episode of the Main Street Magic Podcast—but this time, we’re heading into the delicious world of table service dining at Walt Disney World. We are back to break down a bracket challenge featuring some of the most popular, iconic, and flavorful dining locations across the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs to find out which restaurant will be crowned the ultimate champion. This culinary showdown spans four themed regions: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios & Animal Kingdom, and Resorts & Disney Springs. Each division is stacked with beloved restaurants, from character dining favorites to signature fine dining experiences. Matchups are judged across five key categories that define what makes a dining experience truly magical at Walt Disney World: food quality and flavor, theming and atmosphere, value for the price, service and overall experience, and popularity among guests. We discuss each restaurant head-to-head, diving into what sets them apart—from unique menus and immersive design to guest satisfaction and whether the overall experience justifies the cost. As always, we bring our personal experiences, insights, and a few fun stories along the way, making each matchup a tough and entertaining call. Will a high-end signature restaurant win it all, or will a fan-favorite character meal pull off the upset? Can nostalgia or theming outshine culinary innovation? And which restaurant has the broadest appeal to guests of all ages and tastes? It’s a bracket built for foodies, Disney fans, and anyone who loves talking about great meals and magical memories. Tune in and play along as we narrow the field of 32 down to one ultimate table service champion. This is one dining tournament you won’t want to miss. Download the Bracket!

It’s time for some March Madness—with a Disney twist. We are diving into a bracket challenge that pits Walt Disney World’s most beloved rides and attractions against each other to determine the ultimate champion. Inspired by the format of the NCAA tournament, this bracket showdown is broken into four regions: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Each region features eight attractions, seeded and matched up for a series of head-to-head battles. But this isn’t just about personal favorites—it’s a competition grounded in five key categories that help define what makes a Walt Disney World experience truly magical. The first category is popularity, taking into account average wait times, Lightning Lane demand, and general hype among guests. Next is theming and immersion, which looks at the storytelling, design details, and how transported guests feel once they step into the attraction. Innovation and ride technology plays a major role as well, factoring in the use of cutting-edge systems, ride mechanics, and visual effects. Then there’s broad appeal—how accessible and enjoyable the attraction is for guests of all ages and thrill levels. And finally, guest satisfaction, which covers overall enjoyment, re-ride value, and consistently high guest ratings. Throughout the episode, we'll debate each matchup, make tough calls, and share some personal memories tied to the rides. Whether you’re team thrills, team nostalgia, or just here for the magic, this bracket challenge is the perfect way to celebrate the best of what Walt Disney World has to offer. Will a classic attraction come out on top, or will cutting-edge technology and big thrills steal the crown? Tune in to find out, and see if your favorite makes it all the way to the championship.

In this heartfelt episode, I am honored to share the inspiring story of Liz Hatton, a talented young photographer whose passion for Disney, love for photography, and unwavering strength left a lasting impact on everyone she met. We’ll take a look at how Liz’s love for Disney first began, how her family fell in love with Disney Cruise Line, and the special connections they made along the way, including meeting Jessica and Landon (former Disney Cast Members and owners of Vacation Grocery Delivery), who are friends that became like family. Liz’s story is one of courage, creativity, and unforgettable experiences, including the incredible moment when she had the opportunity to photograph and meet the Prince and Princess of Wales at Windsor Castle. Liz’s journey was shaped by her battle with Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT), a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Through her diagnosis, she continued to chase her dreams, inspire others, and use her passion for photography to bring joy to those around her. We’ll also discuss Capture, a charity being created in her honor to support young people and their families facing cancer and to raise awareness for DSRCT research. Join us as we celebrate Liz’s remarkable life, her love for Disney, and her incredible achievements, and learn how you can help continue her legacy by supporting the fight against DSRCT. Tune in now to hear Liz’s inspiring story and find out how you can help make a difference.
