    Our Top Ten Disney Dining Experiences

    Our Top Ten Disney Dining Experiences

    is all about Disney Dining, not just in the Disney Parks but around Walt Disney World Resort and the Disneyland Resort.  We encourage you to give us your top ten and comments as we go through our top ten dining experiences. We spend some time talking about some quick service locations like Sleepy Hollow and Satuli Canteen. We also talk about our favorite spots to sit down for a wonderful meal outside of the parks.  We look at Whispering Canyon Cafe and California Grill. Does Le Cellier make the list?  How about any restaurants in the Magic Kingdom?  Would Blue Bayou in Disneyland be a good choice?  We love the food at Disney and are excited to provide our thoughts!

    Love it, Enjoy it, Destroy it: Epcot Attractions

    Love it, Enjoy it, Destroy it: Epcot Attractions

    We take a look at Epcot and some of the offerings that the park offers.  Much like our Magic Kingdom episode, we look at the shows, the rides and the food that Epcot offers.  Gran Fiesta Tour with the Three Caballeros, Living with the Land, or Journey into Imagination? We'll pick one for each category.  We have eight groupings in total and even have some friends come along to let us know their take on our choices.  Where will we put Le Cellier or Via Napoli? How about the Caramel Popcorn?  We love Epcot and really struggle at times to pick one to destroy or one to love.

    Come out to our socials and let us know your picks!

    Review of Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney's Wilderness Lodge

    Review of Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney's Wilderness Lodge

    Bryan and his daughter Mia run down their experience at Whispering Canyon Cafe. We start by discussing what we did to get to the Wilderness Lodge from the Polynesian Resort. Taking a Lyft definitely helped with this experience. We then talk about the tremendous lobby at the Wilderness.  We talk about visiting the Carolwood Pacific room and looking for Hidden Mickeys while we waited for our table. Its such a great resort with many things to occupy you while waiting.  

    We finally sit down at our table and discuss the shenanigans from the wait staff, the ketchup, the large sodas and eventually get around to the breakfast skillets full of delicious typical breakfast food, but certainly the Mickey Waffles! We finish up with a birthday celebration and how we then moved on to the Animal Kingdom. 

    After our review, Mia goes rogue and wants to talk about Hoop dee doo revue.  We discuss some of the fun we had at this experience and the food they served there.  

    Finally, Mia gets around to talking about Ohana and some of the experience we had at dinner.  We'll cover the food, the ambience and that we were able to listen to Happily Ever After during dinner.

Johnny J - The DMSW Podcast ,

Dudes that Disney!

This podcast is Disney dad approved! As a dad of 6 I love hearing about all things Disney from these guyss perspectives, and Brian and Kylo Ren (Jungle Skipper level joke on the nickname) deliver fun topics and honest opinions along with helpful info and tips along the way too. Definitely give these guys a listen!

Constant Microphone Sound Level?

There is a lot of good incite and information in the podcast. The one downside is the volume level of the podcast is soft (you have to turn it up to hear) and then LOUD (forcing me to turn my volume down) Kind of frustrating.
