The Pixie Dust Fan Podcast - A Disney Parks Podcast

It's Ride Wars! In Round 3 of our 'This or That' series, Fran and Carrie take on 10 of the biggest attraction debates in the Disney fandom. Haunted Mansion or Pirates? Rise of the Resistance or Flight of Passage? Is Cosmic Rewind a must-ride or a one and done? And is It's a Small World charming or torture? We agree on the classics... but the thrill rides split us right down the middle. Plus, Carrie is back from a week of glorious fall weather in Orlando, with first impressions of the new, much smoother Big Thunder Mountain. And for our Pixie Dust, Carrie shows off two new park mugs and Fran shares her thoughts on Bob Chapek's new book. Next up in the series... Fan Culture and Etiquette! Are you listening to the Solo Show? That's where you'll hear our friend Stan and his animated intros! https://thesoloshow.libsyn.com/ Find Bob Chapek's book - Behind the Castle Walls is available on Amazon.

Food fight! In Round 2 of our 'This or That' series, Fran and Carrie take on 10 of the tastiest debates in the Disney fandom. Dole Whip or churro? Mickey waffles or Tonga Toast? Is Cinderella's Royal Table worth the splurge, and is the grey stuff really all that? We agree on more than you'd think... until we don't. Plus, Carrie is back from a quick split stay at Cabana Bay and Port Orleans Riverside. Hear about her first visit to GEO-82, a last-minute fireworks dinner in the Japan Pavilion that might be EPCOT's best-kept secret, and her first thoughts on the new Disney Believe.

We asked AI to tell us what Disney fans love to argue about, then did what we do best: gave our opinions! In Round 1 of our 'This or That' series, Fran and Carrie take on 10 of the biggest debates in the Disney fandom. A few answers were no surprise (you can probably guess where we landed on Disneyland vs Walt Disney World), but the "Disney adult" question turned into a conversation we didn't see coming. In this episode we debate: Disneyland or Walt Disney World? Magic Kingdom or EPCOT? Rope drop or stay until close? Park hopping or one park per day? Plan every minute or wing it? Pay for Lightning Lane or skip it and wait? Deluxe resort or value resort plus extra park days? Summer heat or holiday crowds? Disney with kids or Disney as adults only? "Disney adult": proud label or cringe? Coming up in future rounds: food fights, ride wars, fan etiquette and more.
