    The One with the (Updated) Star Wars Film Rankings

    In the 294th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave look back a year or so, to an episode done in April of 2025 - when we decided to rank all 12 theatrical Star Wars Films... and of course, we had to have on our Star Wars fanboy friend, The Derek Frank, to discuss. And he is back again!   First up, not only is Jenn getting ready for her upcoming Disney travels, Dave has in his magic bands for his own trip and Derek gives the scoop on the Star Wars After Dark event in Disneyland. Then, the trio dives into the films - the prequel trilogy, the originals,  the sequel trilogy, and the three extra movies - ranking the 12 to 1, least to most favorite, and the reasons why.  Plus, why does Jenn hate Empire Strikes Back so much? Then, an update on Jenn's travels, Derek's new men's clothing company, and Dave telling you to all go see Project Hail Mary.

    Ep 293. The One with the Disney Resort CEOs

    In the 293th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are ready to fix all the things at Walt Disney World that are outside of the parks, putting on their CEO hats once again!  First, new shirts for Dave and new planning for Jenn, plus Jenn gives her ideas on how to store Mickey Ears. Or at least what she'd like to do, and what she actually does.  We go over the new details for the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, including what to expect, some new features, and all the dates.  Then a quick look at what we know for Epcot's Food & Wine Festival this coming fall. Then, we put on our CEO hats, now assigned to look at resorts, Disney Springs, and everything else that isn't the four theme parks.  What would we do (within reason of course) - Adventurers Club returning?  Character meals in Disney Springs? Could Cinderella and Tiana moved out of 1900 Park Fare would end up making bank for Disney?   And those stupid ESPN passes on your app.  We rant about it.  Plus, Toad the Wet Sprocket lyrics (it's "But we wouldn't be that brave, I know"), why d$ really wants Ryan Cabrera in Epcot... Taco Bell aint, and KIRSCHWASSER, darn it.

    The One with It's Gonna Be MAY

    In the 292nd episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave reunite after Jenn's week off and Dave's solo show...  First (and we forgot to even say it on the episode...) THANK YOU FOR 100,000 DOWNLOADS!   Second... we dive back in to some familiar news, covering some of the things we did mention last week, but this time to get Jenn's take on in, including the Muppets song list on the revamped Rock'n Roller Coaster, the returning Dexlue Disney Sining Plan, and Big Thunder reopening. Plus, a look at Disney's upcoming Lakeshort Lodge, projected to open in 2027, and then a look at the recently announced Disney Legend 2026 line up - and who should be in, who is in that grey area and... then... a discussion on Anne Hathaway. Finally, the May calendar at Disney - the After Hours dates, Marvel TV dates, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mando & Grogu movie dates... and another scan at May 26th, and ALL the big things happening on that single day - Muppets, Dis Jr, Animation Courtyard, Soarin, Bluey, and Falcon's new mission.

    The One with WDW27 & The Muppets

    In the 291st episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave is just Dave this time around as Jenn is out - so Dave carries the show... on a big Disney news week! First, getting the ticket for The Mandalorian & Grogu, and why I'm looking forward to some simple Star Wars. Then, diving into Walt Disney World 2027, as new prices and packages were released this week. We run through new additions - a dining plan returning, discounts on dining for kids, water park information - plus booking through October 2027. Plus, why should you consider booking this far out? I give you the reasons! Finally, The Muppets are all over the Disney socials! The song list has been released for Rock'n Roller Coaster with the Muppets - I'll run through it and help those of you confused to remember what a "Song 2" is.  Also, the cameos in the queue, the storyline behind G-Force Records now, the L.I.M.O. idea, and my excited for the ride retheme and what it might mean for Muppet Fans (and how this is a home run for Disney... unless they Zootopia it...) Find it on all the podplaces!!

    The One with Aulani & the Dominican

    In the 290th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are finally joined again by fan fave #KylaKylaKyla, for the first time since last September!  In the news, Buzz Lightyear has reopened, and we all chat about it even though none of us have done the new version... Big Thunder has to have an opening date soon, right? [spoiler alert, they announced it right as we were done recording - its May 3]  Plus, the Rock'n Roller Coaster Guitar is getting an new rethemed paint job... and Annual Passholder discounts this year, with 2026's VIPassholder dining discounts. Then, Kyla Melberg is here to talk a little travel and her busy, busy winter so far this year. She gives her Aulani report first - the dining, the travel there and back, the hotel itself, things she didn't know going in, and so on.  Then her look around the island, in the other hotel they moved to, and finally a recent trip to the Dominican, with a stay at Hard Rock.  Jenn chimes in with her takes as well, while Dave offers an idea for the monkey cages in Animal Kingdom (because that's all he's got for this topic!)

    The One with Jenn in Land & Dave in World

    In the 289th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are back after a few weeks away!  Spring Break weeks have come and gone, including when Jenn went to Disneyland then returned home to Pittsburgh late Monday night, only for Dave to leave Birmingham early Tuesday morning for week in Disney World! First up, Buzz Lightyear has some soft openings, ready for next week's official reopening... Rafiki gets his name dropped in Animal Kingdom's Conversation Conservation Station... brand new ticket deals for Disney... and Crocs are getting into the headband game... Then, Jenn and Dave share their trip reports from the parks on each coast -- Jenn (with Travel Amanda) visiting Bluey's new show, hanging at Disneyland Hotel, enjoying California Adventure's Food & Wine, and soaking in the 70th anniversary before it disappears...  And Dave on his annual family trip, with all the dining, including Le Cellier and Sci Fi and Akershus, doing the Garden Graze at Flower & Garden Festival, and the kid's Meeting Princess stance.  And lamenting on Disney's poor Egg Display system this year.  It's a great time to visit either park!

    The One with World vs Land

    In the 288th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" early to Friend of the Show THE Derek Franks!  After a few Disney's This Week, we catch up with Derek and the new job and the new company and more!  Then, we take a look at two of our favorite places... Disney World and Disneyland. And how do they stack up? Resorts?  Dining?  Snackage?  Attractions like Haunted Mansion and Pirates and big coasters?  And Derek (may) have some Big Thunder insight! For those who love both parks - or maybe has only been to one - its a great take on what we think, what we know, and what we love... and of course, we keep score!
