Welcome, Foolish Mortals, to another episode of the Grim Grinning Dads!The Dads are back, and this week we’ve got a little bit of everything. We’re digging into the latest announcements from Disney’s D23 Entertainment Panel, taking a very hungry look at the newly revealed Epcot International Food & Wine Festival menus, and finally hearing all about Charlie’s epic 18-day adventure through Prague and Greece.First up, Food & Wine is almost here, and Tyler has the Dads’ stomachs working overtime. From the new cannoli milkshake and Buffalo Dill Pickle wings to wagyu hand rolls, chicken souvlaki, poutine, filet mignon, and plenty more, there’s a LOT to eat. Naturally, this leads to the most important question of the episode: can anything dethrone Caleb’s beloved pickle milkshake?We’re also saying goodbye to the Play Disney Parks app, including the DuckTales World Showcase Adventure and some of the interactive experiences that have been part of the parks for years. Is this the end of an era, or is Disney simply moving these experiences in a different direction?Then we dive into the D23 Entertainment Panel and everything coming from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and 20th Century Studios. Incredibles 3, Ahsoka Season 2, Star Wars: Starfighter, the new X-Men casting, Avengers: Doomsday, Vision Quest, Frozen 3, Zootopia 3, the live-action Tangled, Coco 2, The Simpsons Movie, Ice Age: Boiling Point, and more give the Dads plenty to debate.And then… Charlie’s Odyssey begins.After an 18-day journey through Prague, Thessaloniki, Athens, and the island of Lesvos, Charlie has stories. A LOT of stories. There are narrow European roads, questionable Uber rides, haunted tours, soccer jerseys, Pokémon GO, octopus tentacles, inflatable water parks, Greek festivals, power outages, a flying beach umbrella, a lost passport, an airport bathroom adventure, and one particularly memorable encounter involving Sawyer, a wheelchair, and a man who apparently had some life advice to share.Oh, and Charlie may or may not have accidentally thanked a Greek man in Spanish.So grab your favorite Disney snack, settle in, and join the Dads as they talk Disney news, questionable travel decisions, amazing food, and everything in between.What are you most excited about from the D23 announcements? What’s on YOUR Food & Wine must-try list? And would you survive an 18-day European adventure with Charlie?⸻Follow the Grim Grinning Dads:TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@grim.grinning.dadsInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/grimgrinningdadsSummon us anytime at grimgrinningdads@gmail.comIf you’d like help planning your next Disney vacation, European adventure, cruise, all-inclusive resort, or just about anywhere else, the Dads are also travel advisors with Genie Travel Company.
