117: Christmas Mad Q Party

Haul out the holly, put up the tree, and pop the bubbly (or rather, the eggnog) because it’s time for another Mad Q Party, and this week it’s all about the Christmas season! Our friends Jon and Lindsey join us on our latest show to help us answer ten hypothetical questions related to The Walt Disney Company. This week’s topics include the Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail, a retelling of the Nativity story starring Disney characters, a new WDW treat for Christmastime, and much more.

In the latest Disney news, we chat Rogue One, the newly announced DuckTales voice cast, and the introduction of alcohol to more Magic Kingdom restaurants. Plus, we have some fun with the hashtag #DisneyfyAChristmasSong. Come join the festivities!

103: The Music of Magic Kingdom

It’s a small world filled with grim, grinning ghosts. But hey, there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow, so put on your Sunday clothes, queue up The Mad Chatters Podcast, and drink up, me ‘earties. Yo ho!

This week we take a musical tour of Magic Kingdom to discover the background loops that play in the park’s six themed lands, as well as the many original songs written for Disney attractions. We discuss our favorite tunes, dig into their backgrounds and authors, and talk about why music is such an integral part of Walt Disney World.

In “It’s the Small Things, After All,” we each share a hidden gem or often under-appreciated aspect of the Disney universe that we love. Plus, we introduce the hashtag #MisheardDisneyLyrics. Come join the fun now!

96: Quick-Service Restaurants at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

In our efforts to highlight every quick-service menu at Walt Disney World, this week our adventure takes us to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and such eateries as Backlot Express, Starring Rolls Cafe, and ABC Commissary. We discuss featured items like the Carrot Cake Cookie and the Butterfinger Cupcake, and we share a few personal reviews as well.

In the 20 Questions-style game “Where in WDW Am I?” we try to stump our fellow Chatters by “hiding” somewhere in Walt Disney World and asking them to guess where we are. Plus, we introduce a new Disney Hashtag: #RuinADisneyQuote. All that and more awaits on episode 96 of The Mad Chatters Podcast!

We catch up on the latest announcements regarding live-action films, eateries at Disney Springs, nighttime entertainment at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and more.

In this week’s lineup of recurring segments, we do some Disney debating, share our ideas for the hashtag #SadDisneyAttractions, and try to stump one another in the 20 Questions-style game “Where in WDW Am I?” Come join the fun now!

78: On the Scene With First-Timers

This week we sat down with a few of our listeners who recently visited Walt Disney World for the first time, their minds full of the facts, tips, and recommendations they had heard on our show, and we talked to them about the parts that lived up to their expectations and the elements that surprised them most. While Brittany told us about her extensive planning and when it did and didn’t pay off, Dustin and Emily gave us their take on whether or not nine hours in Magic Kingdom is enough to get a real taste of Disney magic.

In a week full of curious news and crazy rumors, we also discuss some of the topics that had the Disney Twitterverse abuzz, including a fire in Animal Kingdom, a 3-hour event with a $150 price tag, and an overlay for Tower of Terror. Plus, in “Armchair Imagineering” we set our sights on Easter, and in the game “Disney Hashtags” we talk about #LiesDisneyToldMe. The ridiculousness awaits on the latest episode of The Mad Chatters Podcast!
