Welcome to Episode 31: Disney Cruise Tips

What’s It About?
In this podcast Brad and AJ give their top tips for Disney Cruising! (Obvi.)

AJ just got back from an Alaska cruise on the Disney Wonder, and is just about to head out again on the Magic to Canada, so we figured it was the perfect time to chat tips and tricks for Disney Cruise Line dining!

(Oh, and there may be a little 80s Music Trivia in there for you, too.)

This podcast is a general overview of our tips for all the ships, but feel free to ask us all of your questions about specific destinations and specific ships! We’ll do our best to answer them all in future podcasts!

Welcome to Episode 30: Tips for Solo Disney Dining

What’s It About?
In this podcast AJ is all alone…and talking about solo dining at Disney parks and resorts!

I don’t know about you, but when I get to spend an unfettered solo day in Disney World or Disneyland, I find it to be very relaxing and super fun! Getting to make all my own decisions, not having to worry about who needs a diaper change or who has to go potty or who wants to ride Space Mountain AGAIN…it’s awesome!

In this podcast, I give you my top tips for dining solo in Disney World and Disneyland, how to treat yourself when you have the chance, and how to be more comfortable about dining solo if you’re not used to doing it.

Besides the fact that you have to listen to my voice drone on and on with no reprieve, it’s a pretty good podcast packed with helpful info if you happen to find yourself solo at the parks while you’re in Orlando or Anaheim for a business conference or for any other reason!

Welcome to Episode 29: Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival Review!

What’s It About?
In this podcast DFB Disneyland columnist Heather Sievers joins AJ to chat about the Disney California Food and Wine Festival, which just returned to Disneyland Resort after a 5 year hiatus!

We were SO excited to hear that the festival was returning to Disneyland, and this year they added marketplace booths — similar to what you’ll see around World Showcase at Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival — for the first time!

We are back with Episode 28: What’s In Store for Disney’s Hollywood Studios?

What’s It About?
In this podcast AJ is joined by Hollywood Studios genius and historian Matt Hochberg from StudiosCentral.com!

There’s LOTS of change in store for Disney World’s third theme park, Hollywood Studios. In the coming years, we’ll see Star Wars Land, Toy Story Land, new restaurants, and more coming to this park; but we’ll also be saying goodbye to several beloved dining locations and attractions. In Episode 28, AJ and Matt take a look at what’s just around the corner, speculate on what types of restaurants and food we might be enjoying in 2017 at DHS, and bid farewell to some spots that will be missed.

FYI – we apologize for the sound quality on this one; it was recorded over skype and isn’t our usual quality. We’re working on it!

We are back with our first Podcast of 2016! Welcome to Episode 27: Resort Snackage!

What’s It About?
In this podcast we go over some of our favorite snack options at Disney World and Disneyland resort hotels!

Sometimes it feels like all of the snack credit attention goes to the parks, so wanted to showcase some of the other awesome options you can grab outside of the usuals.

We go over a bunch of treats, including breakfast items and pastries from your favorite resorts like Pop Century, Animal Kingdom Lodge and more.

We are back with episode 26 of the DFB Podcast!

With so many people planning on visiting the parks in the upcoming months we wanted to discuss some helpful tips and ideas.

In this episode we discuss what options you have when you can’t get a reservation at Disney’s most popular dining locations. Is Cinderella’s Royal Table all booked up? No room at California Grill? We go over everything from character buffets to fine-dining at the parks and resorts to give you the best “second choice” spots when the iconic restaurants are full up. (There are even a few “second choice” spots that we like better than the “first choice” locations!)

Tune in and listen as we share our favorite tips for a busy visit to Disney!
