Tim, CJ, and Cathy join forces for this main topic, sharing their very different adventures at one of Disney World’s most unique accommodations. Whether staying in a camper, pitching a tent, or living the easy life in a cabin, all three hosts have their own experiences and perspectives to share. There’s a deep history to this resort, and it’s an important role in the ep.

    Visiting Walt Disney World as a DVC Member EP.120

    What’s it like to visit Walt Disney World as a Disney Vacation Club Member? This week, Danny and Steph relive a recent trip where they experienced a Disney vacation through the eyes of  DVC members. As non-DVC members, this was a truly educational experience, and there’s a lot to unpack in this trip report show. Thank you to Disney for hosting us on a 3-night Disney Vacation Club Membership Magic stay. CJ brings another On Location Mini Segment, reliving his recent WDW Magazine assignment at Level 99. The newest addition to Disney Springs was such a “wow” to him, and he explains why he wants to see this new experience thrive in the Disney bubble. Food, beverage, and entertainment — it really has it all to CJ.  Mail Call defends Danny and soothes his worry over paving the Mickey beignets, a move he was sure would be contentious. Instead, Jess comes to his defense and pits the gentlemen and Steph with a fairly difficult choice to make regarding some Disney entertainment no longer in the parks.  Thank you for joining Parks & Pages every Tuesday, and be sure to subscribe so you never miss an episode.

    Ballin' On A Budget: Disney's Animal Kingdom EP.119

    Join in for ALL the “DAK SNAKS” as Tim, CJ, and friend of the podcast, Carly Caramanna, Ball on a Budget in Disney’s Animal Kingdom to test just how far $100 dollars can get you! The trio enjoys breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even cocktails and sit-down meals, proving you can budget your days without compromising great meals and snacks. Want the newest and most viral treat in the park or to enjoy a cold beer on a walk through one of the trails? This episode has you covered (though listening with snacks in reach is recommended). Don't miss this episode if you're a Disney foodie! Tatjana brings a new take on This or That with a question that forces you to consider what kind of Walt Disney World Resort guest you are and what things are a priority. There's no backing out of this incredibly tough choice, so let us know what YOU choose over on our Instagram post! The show kicks off with some listener involvement as Jenn Q drops a call from Cali! She brings a very fun and somewhat “controversial” question by asking our hosts what they deem their most “overrated attraction.” CJ may have ruffled some host and listener feathers with his answer, but it's not far off from the attraction that started the entire conversation. This will definitely need an episode of its own one day, but for now, don't miss out on Mail Call!! Big thank you to @adventuresbycarly for joining the podcast again and bringing her savvy spending skills to another episode. For more on Carly’s cookbook, click here.

    Desert Island Disney: 90's Movie Edition EP.118

    Hey, ’90s kids, we are SO back! Join CJ, Danny, and their special guest host, Adam Bankhurst, as they discuss their desert island Disney movies of the 1990s (list). Each host gets three movies to stow away in his survival bag for their desert island adventure. Which movies do they each pick? Are there any crossovers? Any unpopular picks? There's a lot of laughs as the guys discuss and defend their choices. Even some sequels make the cut over their originals, and some choices may be a little too on the nose for the living arrangement. Don’t miss out on the chuckles and drop a listen now! The episode starts with a listener’s own This or That scenario, pitting Magic Kingdom’s premier ticketed parties (Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party vs. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party) against each other. Which way will CJ and Danny vote? Mail call continues with an email that reminds us just how powerful this little Parks & Pages community already is!  Steph returns for a mid-break segment, this time highlighting the iconic Disney VHS tapes of the ’90s. Did you have a Black Diamond collection tape? Are you digging deep for Disney nostalgia? This is definitely the segment (and show topic) for you! For more on the history of Disney VHS, check out our deep dive online.  Big thank you to Adam for joining the show today and bringing his expertise! For more about Adam, check out his Instagram.

    Halfway To The Holidays: Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Vs Jollywood Nights EP.117

    The holidays are a big deal at Walt Disney World — and the planning starts each summer. As such, today’s episode is packed with Christmas cheer! One of the biggest Christmas fans (and CEO of the company), Steph, joins CJ and Danny to compare, contrast, and ultimately choose between Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights. Does the classic Magic Kingdom party take the crown, or is it the newer, jazzier gig in town that won the hosts over? The glitz and glam of Jollywood or the nostalgic feel of snoap on Main Street: Join in the fun to see which takes the fruitcake. Also in this episode, CJ brings another truly challenging This or That scenario, with a holiday twist. It’s a difficult choice that had Danny and Steph on different sides of the coin. An empty Magic Kingdom is a piece of the puzzle, and we can’t wait to hear your answers! As always, the podcast kicks off with some listener involvement, so keep those emails and calls coming! From some favorite merch of a listener to a question regarding inclement weather, you always bring something fun to discuss and our hosts and community love it. Keep those ice breakers coming!

    What happens when you mix Disney magic with the perfect beach vacation? Join CJ and Danny as they relive a vacation CJ and his family took to Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, thanks to our friend and sponsors, David’s Vacation Club Rentals. This episode is best viewed on YouTube to see CJ’s photography, but you can enjoy the deep dive into this beautiful resort from anywhere. Learn some resort history, why the design of the resort has a direct influence on turtle nesting, and what it’s like staying at a resort with more limited dining options. Stepping outside the parks may surprise you, but there’s still plenty of magic at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort! James from NY brings a brand-new variation on Mail Call and adds to our visual show with a video message from Las Vegas! What do a trip to Vegas and a recent Preserve, Pave, or Plus have in common? Find out in this week’s Mail Call! We also receive a touching email from listener Scott and a voicemail from a special friend and sponsor of the podcast, Circa Nicole from Circa 1955. We are also joined by our youngest contributor, Riley, for another Core Memory Corner, where she adds her memories from Vero Beach.
