Episode #172: Which Character? 08/15/2026

Episode #172: Which Character? We all have our favorite Disney characters. And we have reasons why we like them. We might even invite them to dinner if we could. But what if I asked you who you’d like to visit the parks with, or who would make the best Skipper on the Jungle Cruise? Well, that’s another story entirely, but it does make for a fun game. So sit back, relax, and join us as we play a game of Which Character! /episode/index/show/celebrationspress/id/42448450

Episode #171: The Lands of Disney 08/02/2026

Episode #171: The Lands of Disney Adventureland. Frontierland. Tomorrowland. In the world of Disney parks, “land” has its own special meaning. It's not just a place, it's an experience. A themed world filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of exotic locations near and far – and sometimes imagined. Tonight, we're going to explore new lands that are on the way, and a few that live on in our memories. So sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the lands of Walt Disney World! /episode/index/show/celebrationspress/id/42291110

Episode #169: Our Snack Cart Wish List 07/05/2026

Episode #169: Our Snack Cart Wish List Food and Disney go together like peanut butter and jelly. Like bacon and eggs. Like…well, you get the idea. And there are lots of snacks that we associate with certain attractions, like the Citrus Swirl and the Enchanted Tiki Room. But we think there may be some other missed opportunities for the perfect pairing… So sit back, relax, and join us as talk about snack carts we’d like to see at Walt Disney World! /episode/index/show/celebrationspress/id/41965190

Episode #167: Our Favorite Refurbishments The past few years have seen many changes come to Walt Disney World, most recently the announcement that the Carousel of Progress will be getting a major update.

So sit back, relax, and join us as we take a look back at some of our favorite refurbishments in Walt Disney World! /episode/index/show/celebrationspress/id/41559170

Episode #166: A Storybook of Magic 05/24/2026

Episode #166: A Storybook of Magic What is it about Walt Disney World that keeps us coming back? The attractions? The characters? The food? Well, it’s all of that, but it’s actually so much more. It’s the magic. Now, we say that a lot, but what do we mean by that? Tonight we’re going to explore that very topic with our good friend and photographer extraordinaire, Collin Kendall, who has a beautiful new book, "The Storybook Project." So sit back, relax, and join us as we explore a Storybook of Disney Magic! /episode/index/show/celebrationspress/id/41406595

Episode #165: The Reptiles of Disney When it comes to animals and Disney, you’ll find everything from bears and elephants to dogs and cats…and yes, even the occasional mouse.

So sit back, relax, and join us as we talk about the Reptiles of Disney! /episode/index/show/celebrationspress/id/41237925

Episode #164: The Moons of Disney As the world came together to watch the historic flight of Artemis II, we got to experience the thrill and wonder of space exploration, and the first step in our renewed journey to the stars.

So sit back, relax, and join us as we talk about the Moon and Walt Disney World! /episode/index/show/celebrationspress/id/41014000

Episode #163: The Rodentia of Disney 04/11/2026

Episode #163: The Rodentia of Disney Walt Disney famously said that his empire was all started by a mouse. Not a cat, not a dog. A mouse. A rodent. Cousin to the squirrel, the rat, and many other creatures. It turns out that, in addition to Mickey and Minnie, there are many other members of the rodent family in the Disney universe, more than you might think. So sit back, relax, and join us as we talk about the Rodentia of Disney! /episode/index/show/celebrationspress/id/40812375

Episode #161: What's That Doing Here? 03/14/2026

Episode #161: What's That Doing Here? There are so many things that we love to experience at the parks. The attractions. The shops. The restaurants. But there are many other places and objects that don’t seem to serve a real purpose. They’re just…there. However, just because they don’t seem to serve a function, we’ll find that they really do. So sit back, relax, and join us as we ask the question, “What’s that doing here?” /episode/index/show/celebrationspress/id/40460395

Episode #158: Our Favorite Disney Doors 01/31/2026

Episode #158: Our Favorite Disney Doors One of great things about Disney is the fact that no detail is overlooked. If there’s a chance for Imagineers to add another layer to the story being told, they’ll take it, even if it’s something as mundane as a simple door. But can doors really be that exciting? In the hands of a Disney Imagineer, the answer is “absolutely!” So sit back, relax, and join us as we talk about Our Favorite Disney Doors! /episode/index/show/celebrationspress/id/39945485

Episode #154: Disney Christmas Gifts & Lists 12/08/2025

Episode #154: Disney Christmas Gifts & Lists When it comes to picking out that special Christmas gift, or making that list and checking it twice, Disney characters certainly present a challenge.

So sit back, relax and join us as we celebrate Thanksgiving, Disney-style! /episode/index/show/celebrationspress/id/39139145

Episode #152: Baseball in Disney 11/09/2025

Episode #152: Baseball in Disney In 1942, Disney released a cartoon short called “How to Play Baseball,” in which Goofy taught us all the nuances of this classic sport. OK, perhaps it might not be the best idea to take our baseball lessons from someone once called Dippy Dawg, but it does represent Disney’s long association with America’s Pastime. So sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the world of baseball, Disney style! /episode/index/show/celebrationspress/id/38967320

Episode #151: Halloween Mischief 10/25/2025

Episode #149: Disney Legends When it comes to talking about the things that make Disney so magical, let’s talk about the people.

Over the years their contributions have been many, and to this day they continue to work tirelessly to bring Walt Disney’s dream to life. So, sit back, relax, and join us we talk about, the Disney Legends! /episode/index/show/celebrationspress/id/38381545

Episode #148: Living IN Disney 09/14/2025

Episode #148: Living IN Disney Instead of visiting Walt Disney World, have you ever imagined what it would be like to live there? Not just in Florida, but in the actual parks. True, there isn’t any place you can actually do that, but hey, we can dream! After all, dreaming is what this Disney magic is all about.

Episode 145: The Magic of Light How do you create magic? How do you create an immersive world of fantasy and wonderment that will transport Guests to landscapes and environments straight out of a dream? As we take in the splendor of the new Disney Starlight parade at the Magic Kingdom, it got us to thinking about one of the most important tools in the Imagineers’ bag of tricks.
