Kristen and Catherine get ahold of the Timestone and travel to a magical reality two weeks in the future of the last episode.  In their new future, strangers buy you cookies and macaroons melt in your hands, while you ~MaRVeL~ at the wonders of Rogers the Musical.  The gals try new foods at San Fransokyo in DCA, and Catherine is so charmed by Kristen's Editing Song that it makes the final cut of the episode.  Magic abounds!

It’s Lemon, everybody! Catherine and Kristen hit the road to DLR again, this time for a day at California Adventure! Avengers Campus, ahoy! The anticipation is high as we failed at our 7am boarding pass attempt for Spider-Man: Webslingers. Will noon bring salvation…dare we say a vengeance?

Disneyland is back and so is Driving to Disneyland!  Kristen and Catherine cover bucket hats, the fact that cotton candy is basically made in a particle accelerator, and pop sensation Hoku - you know, the usual.  They also discuss plans for their imminent trip back to the motherland - we're headed to Disneyland!  

Welcome to Disneyland!  Today we're joined by Marvel and Disney gurus Loni Clark (@lonicatherinec) and Ricky Trann (@robodenim) to talk about Wandavision, their favorite places in Disneyland (and WDW!), and what Valentines day looks like when you haven't seen your significant other in a year. 

This episode has it all - Love Island-style games, video games, X-men crossovers, and why it's so terrifying to actually get to the character part of a meet-and-greet.  There's a lot of sweating involved. 

Sometimes you gotta reach beyond the 101 Dalmatians from the movie and get yourself some off-brand ones.  Kristen and Catherine play spin-the-wheel with Disney movies and talk about their experiences, revel in rich and varied reactions to Fox and the Hound, wonder at the marvel of Disney World's new Krispy Kreme Grilled Cheese, and are joined by friend of the pod @Lindseyruffles.  Toot Toot Beep Beep!

This episode, Catherine and Kristen gathered on zoom to squee about the news of Disneyland becoming a vaccination sight, and sigh about the loss of Annual Passes. Kristen brought expert efficiency and rhyming to the episode by suggesting this week’s topics: Vax Chat, Pass Chat, Tat Chat, Math Chat, Dad Chat, Pad Chat, and of course Rat Chat. Grab a cat and a mat and step into the podcast!

It's Chreestmas time again!  And all the other holidays we love so much.  Join Catherine and Kristen on a sentimental journey through the Disney toys they got for Christmas as kids, how to celebrate the holidays right this very weird year, and some badass grandmas and historical ladies.  We also cover the recent Disney announcements (SPOILER: it's a sh*t-ton of sequels) including Disenchanted, the Hocus Pocus sequel, and don't worry they threw in some reboots as well.  We round it all out with some Disney Holiday treats... enjoy and we'll see ya next year!

The girls hold a variety of stuffed Dumbos and bring big sleepover energy to the newest episode of Driving to Disneyland!  Secrets are divulged, including a mother's zipper-hoarding, a stuffie pilfered from a small child, and really great new info on a Spoonful of Sugar (and the song Julie Andrews kicked out of Mary Poppins).  

It's the most controversial Thanksgiving of them all!  Kristen and Catherine reach into the depths of Disney's history with Native cultures - what they got right and what they got woefully wrong.  Kristen teaches us about the Native American village at Disneyland and the folks who felt it was like home, we're haunted by a mysterious lumberjack, and find our way to mistaking a Puritan for a famous footballer.  If you learn nothing else from this episode, you'll learn how to properly be guilted into complementing the chef at a Thanksgiving dinner.
