Two neighbors, two totally different vibes. In this episode, we explore the calm beauty of China - with its stunning architecture, gardens, and talented acrobats before heading next door to Norway for a mix of folklore, Frozen, and princess dining.

This week we’re heading back to EPCOT’s World Showcase to continue our series with a focus on Italy and Germany. Two neighbors, two very different vibes. In Italy, we’re talking piazzas, pizza, and all the gelato you can handle. Is it one of the most beautiful pavilions to walk through? Absolutely. Is it also missing a few things that could make it even better? You’ll hear our take. Then we head next door to Germany, where the smells of pretzels, caramel, and beer pretty much call your name the second you walk in. We’ll break down what makes the Biergarten one of EPCOT’s most fun dining spots, and why this pavilion feels like a party even if you’re just grabbing a snack. Along the way, we compare, critique, and of course, share which pavilion we’d rather spend more time (and money) in. Whether you’re here for wine in Italy or bratwurst in Germany, you’ll come away with tips, laughs, and maybe a craving or two. Grab a fork, raise a glass, and join us for another round of EPCOT pavilion fun.   ✨ Want more Disney magic? Follow along on Instagram @ashleyc_mousecounselor. Got an idea for a future episode?

This Labor Day trip was one for the books: Ashley’s birthday, Eloise finally tall enough for big rides, our first spin on the new Test Track, and plenty of Halloween fun at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary. But what surprised us most? Slowing down, soaking up time at Wilderness Lodge and Boulder Ridge, and realizing that the magic isn’t just in the parks - it’s in the moments we’ll remember as a family. ✨ Want more Disney magic?

You think choosing a Disney snack is innocent? No, no — it’s a window into your soul, and we’re here to call you out. In this episode, we roast the iconic Disney snacks and the people who worship them: from the churro fan who thinks they’re edgy for buying cinnamon breadstick dust, to the turkey leg enthusiast who treats Fantasyland like a medieval battlefield, to the Dole Whip stan who somehow thinks pineapple foam is their entire personality.Whether you’re clutching a Mickey bar while it melts down your wrist, or treating a Sleepy Hollow waffle like it’s the second coming of brunch, we see you.

You think picking your favorite Disney ride says something wholesome about you? Wrong. It says everything — and we’re here to judge you for it. From the competitive chaos of Toy Story Mania to the people who call Living with the Land “iconic” like they invented agriculture, we’re roasting every ride and the people who love them (yes, including you, Space Mountain girlie with the compression socks and trauma).

Let’s be honest: where you stay at Disney says a lot about who you are. And in this episode, Ashley and Andrew are diving into the psychology (and the chaos) behind your favorite resorts — from luxury-lovers at the Grand Floridian to Birkenstock-wearin' Dole Whip dreamers at the Polynesian, and right down to the All-Star crowd who treat 6 a.m. rope drop like a competitive sport. We’re talking: Riviera guests who packed a beret “just in case” Wilderness Lodge people who cry at fireplaces French Quarter stans who think beignets are breakfast Caribbean Beach folks who romanticize a 15-minute walk to coffee Gran Destino Tower travelers who want luxury on a LinkedIn budget Art of Animation superfans who basically live inside a Pixar movie …and the All-Star crew who know that $119 a night = more money for Mickey bars No resort is safe.
