Miles from Main Street - Your Far from Disney Podcast

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!  Make sure you hit that subscribe button so you know when there are new episodes.Do you want to share your experiences?

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.   Make sure you hit that subscribe button so you know when there are new episodes.Do you want to share your experiences?

We've returned from Walt Disney World and we have some fun things to share.  We start with some conversation of the type of trip we had and how everyone fit in. This was a trip originated by Tammy and Bryan with their two daughters and Tammy's mom coming along. With a stay at the Polynesian Resort, Mykhailo and Kristin come along and did their best to pretend they were staying there with us.  We cover some of this dynamic before we get into the excitement of being evacuated from Pirates of the Caribbean!While in the Magic Kingdom, we were able to get backstage when Pirates went down. It was a great experience and we get into the details of this neat happening. We end up including some of the other troubled ride experiences we had during the trip which leads Bryan and Mykhailo down a rabbit hole about the state of the rides in the parks.We get into discussing some of the financials around Disney+ and the trouble they had with their movies and how this may be effecting the parks.  A fun conversation that is one of those typical tangents that we like to go on.We'll get into more of the trip on upcoming episodes, but definitely wanted to talk about Pirates of the Caribbean.Make sure you hit that subscribe button so you know when there are new episodes.Do you want to share your experiences?

Do you wish you could stay at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel for the rest of your life?  We do!  This week, we take a look at the Disney resorts we would love to live in forever, the resorts we would enjoy one fun night in and the one that we will destroy.  We start with the WDW's Value resorts and decide between the All-Stars, Pop Century Resort or Art of Animation.  What will we love, enjoy or destroy? There is some interesting discussion here between Art of Animation and the All-Star Resorts.  Pop Century seems to be the middle child here.  We move on to the Disney's Moderate category and decide between Port Orleans, Caribbean Beach and Coronado Springs.  This discussion shows that we all have a favorite and we don't seem to agree.  We move into the Disney Deluxe Category next.  We narrow it down to choosing between the Contemporary Resort, Polynesian Resort or the Grand Floridian Resort.  This discussion is where the fun begins.  We discuss fireworks views, the restaurants and the sights of these extraordinary resorts.  Its hard to choose between these wonderful hotels, but we manage to find away.Finally, we open the discussion up and talk about the three places we would choose if we didn't have limits.  Would we still bulldoze the All-Stars, where would we choose to live the rest of our life? It gets a little off the rails, but we have a lot of fun discussing it!Make sure you hit that subscribe button so you know when there are new episodes.Do you want to share your experiences?
