Episode 4 – Favorite Quick Service Restaurants

In this week’s On the Road with Mickey, we are talking about our favorite quick service restaurants at Walt Disney World. A little disclaimer, this week is a little short because we’ve been battling with a nasty head cold, so our voice quality is worse than normal as a result. Still, Sophie and I didn’t want to miss a week of recording, and here’s what we talked about.

First, Sophie gave an overview of what the Quick Service Dining Plan is — kind of a high-level overview in case anyone wanted to look into adding it for their next Disney vacation.
Then, we went around the parks, looking at first the Magic Kingdom, then Epcot, then Animal Kingdom, and finally, Hollywood Studios.
After that, Sophie gave her This Day in Disney History segment for January 27th.
Lastly, I talked about the Disney Who’s Who character for this week. Can you guess who it is?

Coming up next week in Episode 5, Sophie and I are going to talk some more about the upcoming trip — will you believe that next week we’ll already be into February, and only a little over a month from our trip? So we hope you’ll stop by and give us a listen! Thanks for following us on all of your favorite podcast platforms, and for giving us excitement about the podcast!

Episode 3 – On Property vs. Off Property at Disney

Welcome to episode 3 of On the Road with Mickey! In today’s podcast, we are taking a look at the pros and cons of staying on property and off property when visiting Walt Disney World. Here’s the rundown of what we’re covering today:

Staying on property or going off property — what are the pros and cons of each?
- In this topic, we’ve asked Sophie’s friend Zach to join us — he and his family spent Christmas at Walt Disney World and stayed off property, so we’ve got his take on it for you.
We also recap the FastPass selections we made last Wednesday the 15th. Do our selections match up with yours?
We’ve got an “out of this World” this day in Disney history segment for you!
Our Disney Who’s Who character is one you know and love; she’s been in a full length animated feature as well as a live action feature!

Coming up next week, we’re talking all about Disney food, so you won’t want to miss that! We’re going to go over our dining reservations as well as our favorite quick service restaurants at each of the parks. Do you want to chime in with your favorites?
