On today's episode, we are live from California! We traveled to Disneyland Resort to check out Disneyland Park, Disney's California Adventure Park, and Downtown Disney! We had a fantastic time in the familiar yet not familiar surroundings!

Do you recall your first visit to Disneyland? The magical allure, the whimsical rides, the enchanting characters - it's an experience that stays with you for life. We dive deep into our reservoirs of nostalgia, reflecting on our earliest encounters with the House of Mickey and deliberating on the best time to introduce our children to this magical universe. We also recount our recent trip to Disneyland, sharing the ecstatic joy of our daughter's first Disneyland adventure, and the logistic nightmares and recovery weekends that characterize such family outings.

It's the holiday season, and we're all set to party! But how does one ensure a fun, safe, and memorable bash that doesn't end up in unfortunate incidents? We open up on our plans of hosting a pre-New Year's party, where we ditch the alcohol-induced chaos of New Year's Eve, replacing it with a joyous celebration swathed in ugly sweaters, comfy PJs, and a white elephant in the room (figuratively, of course!). We offer some real and practical tips to make your holiday gatherings a resounding success.

How about some culinary adventures? We turn our attention to the realm of grills and smokers, comparing the features of various tabletop grills and discussing the pros and cons of gas and electric smokers, wood-fired smokers, and those that use pellets or propane. We delve into cooking techniques and toddler-friendly meals, sharing our secrets to making the perfect turkey brine, irresistible pizza dough, and drool-worthy oatmeal. Whether you're a master chef or an amateur cook, you'll find some handy tips to spice up your cooking game. From Disneyland memories to holiday parties to culinary exploits, we've got you covered. So sit back, relax, and join us on this festive journey.

In this episode we discuss the history of Pixar Pal-A-Round, Mickey's Fun Wheel, the Sun Wheel. We talk about how DCA went from a scattered version of a California postcard to a disjointed mix of Pixar and Marvel.

This recording starts as soon as you enter the interior of the queue, getting over 20 minutes of queue time, the pre-show (nice work, pal), and the attraction. This complete experience wouldn’t be complete without some people perhaps being a little too loud, but it’s to be expected. A young kid to my left on the ride was EXTREMELY excited, and while some here may not be wanting to hear people talking over some of the best in-park music, his excitement is quite infectious.

Drink of the Day: 

The Crazed Captain (inspired by the hunky Captain Hook)

Captain Hook gets in on the fun with the Crazed Captain. Of course, it includes a healthy dose of rum — both Spiced and 151 — with a little Midori thrown in for good measure.

My family loves Disneyland at Halloween, and in this episode I share all the reasons from the Haunted Mansion Holiday to the Oogie Boogie Bash that you may want to add it to your family's list of trips to take flying free. We also talk a little bit about Disney World at Halloween and the difference between the two. Happy fall and Halloween!

Cozy Cone Bacon Mac-n-Cheese Cones

(recipe from www.insidethemagic.net)

Specialty items:

6 manila folders

Tape or staples

6 10-inch-long foil sheets

For pizza cones:

Cooking spray of choice

1 tbsp flour

1 tube of Pillsbury Thin crust pizza dough (or preferred brand)

For mac ‘n’ cheese:

1 lb elbow macaroni

Salt, to taste

1/4 c butter

1/4 c flour

1 c milk

2 c shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 c cream cheese

Pepper, to taste

6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled

What You Do:

To make cones: 

1. Preheat oven to 425ºF to bake cones
2. Roll a manila folder into a tight cone, securing the end with a staple or tape. Wrap cone tightly with foil, covering the paper completely. Wrapping the manila cone will protect it from burning while baking. Lightly grease the outside of the cone with cooking spray and set aside.
3. Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface, to prevent sticking. With the long side facing you, cut 12 1-inch strips with a knife or pizza cutter. Starting at the tip of the cone, wrap one strip around the bottom and continue working your way up, spiraling as you go. Make sure that each row of dough touches the row underneath it. Add a second strip if needed.
4. Repeat step 3 5 times to make 6 cones in all.
5. Place cones on greased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, rotating once, until dough is golden brown.
6. Remove cones from the oven, let cool slightly, and then gently twist the foil cone to remove from the dough. Let cool.
7. Make mac ‘n’ cheese:  
8. Heat water in a stock pot and salt heavily. Once it boils, cook macaroni for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
9. In a large stock pot over medium heat, melt butter, and add flour. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the flour is just toasted. Do not burn. Add milk, whisking vigorously to eliminate clumps. Add cheese, cream cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. Add pasta and stir to combine. Let mac ‘n’ cheese sit for 10 minutes.
10. Fill each cone with mac and cheese and garnish with a big scoop of crumbled bacon. Enjoy!

In this week's episode, we discuss the secret wine list at Alfresco Tasting Terrace above Wine Country Trattoria at Disney's California Adventure. This Terrace is a Disney Legacy Passholder exclusive location, and it is the ONLY place on Disney property where you can try all of the Disney Family of Wines. After discussing all things wine, we revisit one of the best impromptu shows in Disney history, the World Showcase Players that played in EPCOT until 2014.  All that and more, on this week's show.

• Try to limit salt/sodium to reduce leg swelling while sitting in the car/plane for extended periods of time.
• Avoid spicy foods that could cause a stomach “situation”...
• Stay hydrated with water & Starbucks :)

Kirk and Rain recap a trip to just a touch of a park, a small touch, maybe a taste, maybe a thought, but definitely A Touch of Disney.

Touch, I remember Disney. 
DCA came with touch. 
A theme park in my mind. 
Tell me what you see. 

A tourist in a park. 
A visitor it seems. 
A half-forgotten vibe. 
Where do I belong?
Tell me what you see. 
I need something more.
