Mouse Chat Disney podcast – A Disney Radio Show by Disney Fans for Fans
Disney Travel Questions
A great group of questions from everyone this week. Thanks for submitting these.
On our show we will cover everything from DVC, Downtown Disney, What to do off of Disney property, Disney Annual Passes, the Disney Dining Plan, and that’s just getting started. I think this show is almost a record long show for us at almost two full hours. But it is jammed packed with Disney Vacation advice thanks to all the Mouse Chat fans that sent in these great vacation questions. If you are planning a trip to Walt Disney World, or even in the car on the way down to Florida, sit back and listen.
- What would you do at the world if you were staying on property but not going to the parks ( 7 day trip)?
- Have they fixed the yeti yet? Also, would you consider animal kingdom a full day park?
- Poly, akl, yacht, or grand fl—standard or club level?
- If I stayed at music and free dining was available but I wanted the plus dining would it still be free?
- I would love to hear about Disney Quest and Splitsville. (that may be in the show I downloaded today)
- I would like to hear the mouse chatters opinions on dvc.
- In addition to what has been put on the table about Disney Springs, do you think there may be updates to other parts of the current DTD? For instance, DisneyQuest?
- Would you suggest a trip to Disney world if your a single traveller? Any tips? any suggestions to keep you from feeling lonely by yourself?
- I booked a 15 day stay at Disney for the end of September- start of October this year. The “biggest” ticket I can get from Disney is the 10 day pass. I plan on spending 1 day in the water parks. Should I go with the 10 day park hopper with water park and more or should I just buy a premium season pass? What are the pros/ cons of the annual pass?
- How is George Kalogridis doing since he switched coasts…again?
- We just had our first child on the 12th and normally go down to the world once a year in October/November. I think unfortunately we will be skipping this year, but what is a good age to first take your child down? We will be flying out of Philadelphia and any tips, tricks for taking a younger child down would be helpful!!
- How many different types of footwear do you bring on your Disney trip?
- Have you ever used the Super Shuttle? I have to get back and forth to the Holiday Inn Lake Buena Vista Downtown Disney from MCO. The price seems great, although I know it makes many stops. Also, if I take a taxi, do they charge per person or per party? Thanks!
- With Disney Hollywood Studios cancelling their 2 parades next month, what would you like to see as replacements for Pixar Pals Countdown to Fun and Disney Channel Rocks? Personally, I’d like to see more guests enjoy the Streetsmosphere, so perhaps a showtime for this improvised art? ( I think people just pass them by and we have some of our best unplanned memories because of these actors.)
- If I want to book a tour, how far in advance do you recommend I do it?
- I just booked a 4-day cruise to the Bahamas on the Dream-our first cruise. It will be just my husband and I and our day at sea is our wedding anniversary. Should we try to book Palo? Or stick with the regular dining rotation since we’ve never been to those restaurants either? (Or am I just kidding myself that Palo won’t be booked up and this is even a consideration anyway?)
- We will be in WDW on the 4th of July, what would you recommend doing, I’m guessing avoiding magic kingdom?
- What do y’all prefer? Rope drop, and doing EMH maybe with a nap and pool time in between (we don’t hop, I do not like hopping!) or sleep in and go later in the day?
- And even More Disney Travel Questions….

I was able to use quick service credits for 3 snacks each at Port Orleans Riverside Food Court in October 2011. Funny thing is, I didn’t even ask. I was only planning to get dessert portion for each quick service credit and a cast member suggested that I could get 3 snacks for EACH quick service credit. Went home with 12 Mickey marshamallow treats! Easy souvenirs.
They stopped that in 2012, as of august 2012 they cannot convert QS into snacks anymore according to a disney rep.
It really sucked because we had like 6 QS left day before we left. so we got a bunch of food and pigged out, would have rather had some snacks for the plane :/
Please give me your comment email address about any of your podcasts, thank you.

Here are some of my favorite things to do on the DW property, but not the parks:
1. Horseback riding
2. Renting a pontoon boat and fishing most of the day
3. PuttPutt
4. Poolside movie hopping
5. Biking around the resorts
One thing I still want to do is the Segway tour at Disney Fort Wilderness.
