The Main Street Electrical Podcast

11/09/2024

Hey look! It's our podcast page!

And in our latest Main Street Electrical Podcast, Upon A Star Jenn and Kyla and d$ chat about the new Multi Pass and Single Pass system... well, Jenn & Kyla do anyway. But here come the pros and cons, including using it 7 days ahead of their trips, and during their park visits.

Also -- a review of the new Country Bears, Jenn gives her quick overview on her recent Celebrity Cruise trip, Halloween and Christmas party ticket updates, Sports gets a mural, Encanto meet ups, the Ministry of Magic at Epic, and a sad ending for McQueen's Racing Academy but a welcome to the Villains Show next year.
And all hail the Finesse Party Band at Epcot's Food & Wine Festival!
Another fun ep where Kyla hates birds in Animal Kingdom and the struggles of Travel Agents doing their own trips.

Jenn returns and gives a quick rundown on the Mexican humidity (and the hair poofy) and Dave shares one of his upcoming Disney plans that he's super excited about.

A little news kicks off, including Blizzard Beach reopening... Fantasmic! returning... Candlelight Processional's restaurants... and Elton John on Disney+, which leads to an entire side conversation about concerts, who they want to see and why neither do many concerts.

Then! The Villain Songs! Before the show, Dave reached out to several Friends of the Show to get their own Top Ten lists of Fave Disney Villain songs, and with almost two dozen submitted, one definitive Top Ten list was created!

Finally, the list... starting at 10, they take it song by song, share a story or two, and take about some great behind the scenes -- including the two songs that have super serious backstories mirroring both history and real-life... the Villain songs not sung by the actual villains... the creepiest Disney Villain song out there... and Gaston sings Shakespeare...

Find the show on all the usual places... Apple Podcasts and iTunes and Spotify and Amazon Music and Audible.com and iHeartRadio and TheMSEPodcast.com - and on our website there, you can find links to all of our show contributors this week and you can hear the top ten for yourself!

So while Jennifer is slumming it on the Disney Wish, the show must go on! And because she doesnt watch movies (its hard to hear the sound when getting weekly mani/pedis at the Grand Flo), it's fortunate for d$ because he can bring in The Moana Mom herself, aka Heather K, to discuss all the movies Jenn hasn't seen..

Like...

Chi-chi-chip n dale's rescue rangers...

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (and Spidey No Way Home)

and of course, the most recent Thor Love & Thunder!

Plus... a little news, a few rumors, and an overall magical conversation =)

Jenn & Dave are all about some HOLLYWOOD this week... The Studios, to be specific..

First up, we take a look at the WDW Railroad testing... MinnieVans returning... BBB now casting... Epcot getting it's people back... medals for the summer virtual runs... and Typhoon Lagoon's H2Glow event.

Then, before Dave takes a real stroll down Hollywood, we do a virtual stroll down Hollywood Studios Hollywood Boulevard, taking a right onto Sunset, to take a look at the shops, the landmarks, the attractions and more.

Starting with the legendary Crossroads of the World (and its inspiration), then discussing Fuel Rods, McQueen's Racing Academy, the convenience of single riders, and shopping along the way, it's a great look at the front of an incredible theme park.
