    Unpacking Disney: Part 4 - Demi (@MagicalHijinx)

    Who is a Disney Adult? What is a Disney Adult? And why does the internet and society as a whole care so much? Well, that’s what we hope to find out in a new series we’re calling ‘Unpacking Disney: A Disney Adult Deep Dive’ where each month we’ll interview one so-called Disney Adult about their lived experiences to find out what led to them to a life-consuming copious amounts of churros and Dole Whips way past adolescence. This week’s guest is
    Demi (@MagicalHijinx); she is a fantastic friend of the pod and a tip/review queen for the theme park world. Through her many social media pursuits, she is out there doing the hard work, and making the confusing endeavor of these Vay Cays something that is simple and understandable. As a late-stage Disney Adult, Demi sheds some light on what it is like to become obsessed without all that sticky nostalgia gumming up the works. We are pleased as Polynesian Punch to find out all about what makes her omnimover operate. Come listen and find out!

Honeypots and High Spirits on a Whimsical Wednesday!

Oh, bother! What a treat! It’s Tested Travel here, tumbling like a little black raincloud into the wonderfully whimsical world of “The Dark Ride by Drunk Distory.” Each Wednesday, Adriane and Ryan pour a bit of sunshine into our cups, spinning tales and trivia about the many corners of Disney World—all while sipping on their favorite adult versions of Pooh Bear’s hunny pots.

Whether they’re exploring the jungle-esque nooks of Animal Kingdom or sailing the spirited seas of the Caribbean at Magic Kingdom, it’s always a grand expedition. And like a visit to Rabbit’s garden, you never quite know what you’ll pick up, be it a pumpkin or a little wisdom on the serious matters like the treatment of Disney guides.

Adriane, a friend as dear as Christopher Robin, and Ryan, well, I don’t know you outside the podcast but let’s just say as spirited as Tigger on his bounciest day, invite us all to giggle at the silliest overlays and offerings Disney has ever dreamed up.

Each episode is sweeter than a smackerel of honey and more comforting than being snug inside the hollow of the Big Oak Tree. So, for a dose of glee that’s as delightful as finding the north end of a southbound Woozle, tune in to their chatter. It’s more fun than a Heffalump’s birthday party—and you’re always invited!

So raise your hunny pots—or perhaps something a tad stronger—and toast to adventures with the most heart, humor, and a little dash of pixie dust.

Cheers to you, Adriane and Ryan!

“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”

Pooh Bear

This one grew on me

This podcast has really grown on me! I’m not particularly a Disney fan. Between Anaheim and Orlando, I’ve been about 6 times in my life. I’ve never stayed at any of the resort hotels. Also, I love big roller coasters that Disney just doesn’t do.
With that being said, I started listening to this podcast when I moved to Tampa a couple of years ago. The excitement that you two express for the mouse makes me really want to get a season pass and experience the things you all talk about. I know all of the most popular attractions but you two make me want to explore the parts I don’t know as much about.
