Your Guide to Disney Parks & ExperiencesHello, my friend! If you are in Florida, I hope you and yours are staying safe and dry as Hurricane Milton passes through. As you have heard, Disney Parks and resorts have temporarily closed due to the storm, but they’ll be back to welcoming guests with open arms soon. While we wait, I’d love to hear from you! 🥨 What is your go-to snack if/when you have to hunker down? Oh, and I still plan on going live tonight 🔴 at 7:30pm ET... weather, internet, and power permitting, of course. Speaking of lightning (and Lightning), a Walt Disney World attraction permanently closed this week. How do you feel about it? Share your thoughts and memories with us here... I'm curious to hear what you think! And as long as we're talking about change… If you were CEO of Disney for a day and had the power to make ONE change, what would it be? 🏰✨ I’m excited to hear YOUR ideas here! 🎙️ Have you caught up on this week's podcast yet? Princess Beci from Mouse Fan Travel joined me to answer your questions about some of Disney’s hidden secrets, park planning tips, Tokyo Disneyland, VIP tours, and even clear up a Disney history mystery on episode #804. Listen on the site, Apple Podcasts or Spotify 🚢 Oh, and due to Milton, the Sun Princess live broadcast that was scheduled for Friday has unfortunately been canceled. I’ll be sure to let you know when it’s rescheduled—stay tuned for updates! Thankfully, Milton should be long gone before our Meet of the Month this Saturday, Oct. 12 as we say goodbye to Dinoland, USA! I hope to see you there! 🎩 As for other events... we are almost sold out for our Evening at the Tip Top Club on October 26 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Ticket sales end this Sunday, October 13, so don’t miss out. Plus, there’s a fun, never-before-heard backstory about a character tied to the Tower of Terror and the Tip Top Club that you can read on the WDW Radio site. 📆 I also hope you can join me at my favorite foodie event of the year, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic on November 15-16! It’s an immersive experience with unlimited top-tier cuisine, beverages, live entertainment, and more. I’ll be there... will you? 🍽️🍷 Let me know! 🗺️ Want to join me on an upcoming WDW Radio group adventure? We have one spot left for Adventures by Disney Japan in May 2025, two spots for Disneyland in July, and a Seine river cruise and Disneyland Paris in September.
