Well the Road to 100 Series comes to a close, and I could not think of a better guest to close us out strong than KG! KG hosts the Living the KG Life and is a fellow Boston based Disney podcaster. KG teaches us all a little more about DVC and RunDisney which are admittedly 2 Disney topics I know not much about, so I am taking notes on this appearance as well. We also learn more about KG's Disney parks personality and of course we close it out with recruiting her to take part in my 100th podcast ...

The Road to 100 Series is almost over, and we are definitely closing strong as we enter the final stretch with these 2 wonderful guests we have for you here on Episode 95.

When I think of Disneyland and big time Disney fans, 2 of the first names I think of are Dave ( @daveifornia ) and Q ( @qs_trips ). If someone asked me to come up with a list of 10 MUST FOLLOW IG accounts to recommend someone new just coming into the world of the online Disney community should follow, Dave and Q would both be on that list for me. Not only do Dave and Q both make great content, but these guys are 2 of the kindest and most supportive people you can meet in the entire Disney fan ba...

Not a lot of bells and whistles needed for this description. It's a good old fashioned rankings type of podcast episode, and I give my Top 10 Disney Animated movies of all time. I throw a few honorable mentions out there, and I also list the animated movies I have still some how some way not found a chance to watch yet. This was a fun episode topic to discuss, but enjoy this solo hosted episode, because its going to be the last one for a pretty long stretch coming up. I have been working hard be...

Well it's been a long time since we've had to do a "You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?" episode, but this one has been brewing for a few weeks behind the scenes. It started with the announcement that Mando was not coming back for a 4th season and instead was being made into a movie. Then out of nowhere Disney dropped the announcement that we were going to get Moana 2 as a movie, in November of this year. Having to watch the Chiefs win another championship, along with the combo of a Disney+ co...

Well it has been a few weeks, but I hope the idea I had for this episode turns out to be worth the wait for you. I took some time off for the holidays to relax with my family, then we hit my birthday and New Years Day, and we made a BIG announcement for the future of the podcast on Instagram. When I talked about that BIG announcement here on the podcast for the first time, I wanted to make sure it was an extra special episode. I have always wanted to record LIVE from somewhere on WDW property, a...

This is a SPOILER HEAVY review for Loki Season 2. I have been so excited to talk about this Disney+ show on the podcast because in my opinion it was far and away the BEST MCU project we have see brought to the streaming site so far. I was blow away by the acting performances, the music, and most of the writing and story telling they did this season. I feel like they gave Loki a FLAWLESS complete character arc, and I really appreciate the way they ended the season. It allows time to let Loki sit ...

Larry makes heartfelt, emotional, and amazing family videos for your trip to Disneyland or DCA. I promise if you take the time to go watch just one or two, you will get hooked and end up watching 5 or 6 easily. The quality of his work is...

Right off the bat, I apologize for the audio quality for my portion of the interview with my daughter Sydney. I did not realize my podcast mic had not connected properly so our entire hour plus interview my audio was only recorded from the mic built into the laptop and you can here the drop in quality from what I normally try to bring to the table here on this podcast, and I did not want to make my daughter have to re-record everything that we had just talked about a second time.

I made it a good way through recording this episode last week, and it was most definitely going to be a "You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?" type of episode.
