Summary

We’re hitting record from some of Walt Disney World’s most stunning deluxe resorts while answering a lightning round of listener-style questions all about the podcast, Disney, and beyond! From the first trip that made us truly fall in love with the parks to the spark that turned that passion into nearly 800 episodes, we’re pulling back the curtain on the moments that shaped Main Street Magic. We’ll share what episode felt like a milestone, our favorite collaborations, and even the bloopers that had us cracking up. We’ll debate which Magic Kingdom resort we’d actually live in, which EPCOT pavilion we’d move into for a week, and the bold Disney hot takes we’ll defend to the end. Plus, we dive into what recording inside an attraction might look like, the series we’re excited to launch next, and where we’d host a dream live show. Along the way, we reflect on what we’ve learned about each other, which Universal land secretly rivals Disney, the snack that needs to be fired, and what hitting 800 episodes means to us. It’s a mix of memories, milestones, and mayhem—recorded in the heart of deluxe Disney magic.
