This month, for our Great British Mickey Waffle Mid-month show, the team of Wafflers, led by Claire, made some new friends - or as they like to call their own community - ‘Ohana.

The team of Matt and Krystle from Married to Disney Addict Podcast and community joined us for a chat that, quite frankly, could have kept going for hours and hours and hours!

Claire had joined Matt and Krystle for one of their shows back in December and had a load of fun, so we invited them to join us to waffle about some Disney history, and future.

First of all though, as newcomers to our community we extended the warm and fuzzy hug of welcome, known only as the Carousel of Questions. It’s been a couple of years since this feature was retired - maybe we should bring it back for new guests? Let us know in the comments if you think we should. 

After that we chatted about some classic attractions that have long since hung up their offerings to guests, and whether we as a group believe that what has replaced them is better… or worse? 

Is Frozen Ever After an improvement on Maelstrom? 

Is Toy Story Land a better experience than the classic MGM Studios Backlot Tour? 

Could Creations ever be preferable to Mouse Gear? 

And the one we found the hardest - is Baseline Tap House an adequate replacement for the glory and oasis that was The Writer’s Stop?

We discuss attractions, restaurants, shopping and even some night-time spectaculars and decide if the newer offerings are a step up, or a step down from the previous inhabitants of that space.

It left the team with a very long list that we didn’t get round to covering, so let us know if we didn’t talk about your favourite and perhaps we can discuss it on a future show?!

You can find Married to a Disney Addict at www.marriedtoadisneyaddict.com, and all on all socials @marriedtoadisneyaddict 

We look forward to welcoming Matt and Krystle back for a future episode.

So, what happens when your childhood Disney Dream becomes reality? 

We are joined by Morg and Josh who have had the amazing news that they have been accepted onto the Disney Cultural Exchange Program for Summer 2024. 

Their Disney experiences go back a while, even sharing that infamous Family Tour in 2011 when both Claire and John actually met in Magic Kingdom and never knew each other! 

We discuss how they arrived at this exciting point in their lives, the selection process, the interviews, the waiting and the realisation that they are heading to Walt Disney World to work for Disney this summer. 

Join us, as we embark on their journey where Dreams take Flight and be assured we will keep you updated of their progress towards take off!

 Enjoy the show and hopefully it will inspire the next generation of Disney Dreamer to fulfil their own personal dreams.
