    No-Guilt Disney Podcast

    To all those that come to our happy place, welcome to the No-Guilt Disney Podcast. We're three Disney fangirls who probably know way too much about the Disney parks than any adult should- and we're perfectly ok with that. Join us, Patty, Theresa, and Jane as we share stories of the Disney parks and why we love them. Segments include listener-submitted memorable moments and unpopular opinions as well as travel planning tips and discussions. If people have ever asked you why you love Disney and keep going back: this is the podcast for you. So be sure to subscribe and share- because it's no fun to fangirl Disney alone!

    The runDisney Balloon Ladies: Runners, Just Like Us!

    The runDisney Balloon Ladies: Runners, Just Like Us!

    The myth of the runDisney Balloon Ladies is busted today: they're just like us. Really. 

    We interviewed Molly, Kathleen and Heather just before the Princess Half Marathon to talk about some tips you can use if you find yourself in the back of the pack. 

    They answer some questions like: 

    • How can I become a Balloon Lady?
    • Are you scary? 
    • Can you get swept?
    • What happens if you pass me on the course?

    Here are a few posts that might be helpful to the BOP (back of the pack) runner or new runDisney participant:

    2024 Disney Marathon and Disneyland Half Marathon runDisney Pre-Check

    We're checking in before TWO of the biggest runDisney weekends of the year! 

    The Walt Disney World Marathon and the Disneyland Half Marathon are happening in the first half of January 2024. 

    We're talking some basic reminders for the race weekends, some tips and details for expo, and we have a "newbie" running her first half marathon: Theresa! 

    She's talking about why she's running and who she's running for as well as touching on some ways she prepared for her first race. 

    We also have some concerns for the Athletes With Disabilities at the runDisney races this year, which Theresa has some personal experience with. If this is something that might affect you, we've got some details you may need about the changes happening this year.

    Non-Dramatic 1st Night Jollywood Nights Review (2023)

    Non-Dramatic 1st Night Jollywood Nights Review (2023)

    By now, you have probably heard about Disney's Hollywood Studio's Jollywood Nights, the newest  Disney World Christmas Party hard ticket event.

    And most of the news after the first party was dire. "Worst Disney experience EVER" "Disaster" "Cancel and refund ALL of it!" were thrown with whole chests all over the internet.

    We were there on night 1- and it was absolutely not the dumpster fire people made it out to be. 

    It wasn't that dramatic of a failure- most of the issues were absolutely correctable.

    And guess what: they were based on what we saw with the night 2 party.

    If you want a level-headed and honest review about what was done well, what wasn't, and what we were glad to see changed, this is the Jollywood Nights review for you.

    But it's spooky season and I have all things Halloween on the brain, so that's what I'm going with today. 

    Meet the runDisney Balloon Ladies, Molly and Heather. 

    This interview was recorded and shared on the No-Guilt Fangirls Podcast in 2020, but the information still holds up. And both ladies are still active Galloway pacers- and altogether great people.

    The Great (Main Street) Pumpkin Debate: Which Park Has A Better Disney Halloween?

    The Great (Main Street) Pumpkin Debate: Which Park Has A Better Disney Halloween?

    If you've listened to any of our episodes before, you know we're team #Halloween365 here. 

    Or at least, Jane is- and she's pulled Patty right along with her! (We're still working on Theresa)

    This episode is a review of the Oogie Boogie Bash, the specially ticketed Halloween party at Disneyland, PLUS a compare and contrast between Disney World and Disneyland Halloween vibes. 

    If you have Halloween Disney dreams, which park should you plan for next year? 

    We think there's a compelling argument for one of them - that doesn't even have anything to do with the Halloween parties! 

    Though, if Josh and Bob are listening (hi guys!) we think there's a hidden gem waiting to be utilized at one of the WDW parks that might just make us change our Halloween minds. 

    Visit the blog page at noguiltdisney.com for additional pictures from Disneyland and Disney World at Halloween and don't forget to subscribe wherever you're listening or watching this from for more Disney tips and ideas. 

    And Halloween 365 love, of course.

    Fangirling Rogers The Musical: Review at Disneyland's Hyperion Theater

    We've been waiting to do this one allll daaaayyyyy since the first episode of Hawkeye on Disney Plus. 

    And finally, we had our chance. 

    Jane and Patty went to Disneyland just to see Rogers: The Musical and to will an extended run into existence for the rest of you. While that hasn't happened (yet!) we are super hopeful it makes a return to the Hyperion as soon as possible. 

    Because: yes, y'all, it's THAT good. 

    If you've seen Aladdin or Frozen at the Hyperion and enjoyed those shows, then you will love the production of Rogers: The Musical. 

    Catch it before it goes away August 31! 

    Special thanks to the HoJo MoJo Casa House for hosting us this weekend! We recorded this one from Howard Johnson's Anaheim Resort (check out the previous episode for all the reasons we loved it and think you may want to book your next Disneyland trip here!).

    How close is the HoJo to Disneyland? Can you believe it took 8 minutes to walk back and forth?! Walt Disney World could NEVER, y'all... which is why we love Disneyland (and the HoJo!) so much!

    We're reviewing this one for you, especially if you are still looking for a Disneyland area hotel for the runDisney Half Marathon Weekend in January 2024.

    Spoiler alert: this would be a fantastic option for runDisney events for many reasons!

    Patty also checked out the Tomorrowland Skyline Terrace Fireworks Dinner package... and has some mixed thoughts on this experience. But as always, Jane is there to save the day with her logic and a touch of Disney math to make it make a bit more financial sense.

    Preserve Refurb Demolish: Monorail Resorts Review

    Every Disney lover dreams of staying at a monorail resort. 

    But which ones are worth it? 

    Trick question- they all are. But for the sake of reviewing the monorail resorts, we're playing Preserve, Refurb, Demolish: our version of Kiss, Marry, Kill. 

    And in the end (in what might be a first for this game) we all came to a consensus on which one should be demolished--- and the reason(s - about 365 of them) why are very on-brand.
