Main Street Magic is an informative, realistic, unbiased and entertaining podcast to help serve the Disney and Universal community for both veterans and rookies.

<p>We wrap up our epic 4-day Disneyland adventure with a jam-packed finale full of iconic attractions, creative eats, and unforgettable vibes. We kick things off by blasting into Hyperspace Mountain and conquering the classic Matterhorn Bobsleds before fueling up with a legendary Disneyland breakfast chimichanga from Ship to Shore Marketplace.<br /><br />Our Downtown Disney detour leads to a shopping spree and a wild bite of the viral Pickle Corn Dog at Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. Then it’s back to Ballast Point for a midday refresh before diving deep into Disneyland’s Food & Wine Festival. We break down standout dishes like the sirloin Gruyère mac, musubi fried rice, and spicy shrimp papas locas, plus sweet and savory hits from Peppers Cali-Ente and Golden Dreams.<br /><br />After that, it’s off to Lamplight Lounge for drinks, bites, and a much-needed break—including the fan-favorite 2319 mocktail and loaded potato skins. The evening shifts to lounge hopping with stops at Broken Spell and Trader Sam’s, where we try tiki cocktails, pork gyoza, and poke bowls.<br /><br />We hop aboard the Disneyland Monorail back to Tomorrowland, soak up the nighttime magic with popcorn, Dapper Dans, and shopping, and then wrap up with a Blue Bayou dinner—complete with crab cakes, filet mignon, and a refreshing mint julep. Before calling it a night, we experience Mickey's Mic Magic, and we hit Radiator Springs Racers, Jungle Cruise, and Haunted Mansion, before reflecting on the highlights of our entire Disneyland trip.<br /><br />If you’ve been following along, don’t miss this big finish—and if you haven’t, go back and catch Days 1–3 to hear the full magic unfold!</p><h2>MEI-Travel – Expertise.

767: Churros, Coasters, and Classics: Our Disneyland Adventure Day 2

<p>We’re kicking off our multi-day Disneyland trip report with everything that went down on Day 1—from coast-to-coast travel logistics to indulging in incredible food and drink around Downtown Disney.<br /><br />We start with trip planning details, including why we chose this time of year, how far in advance we booked, total costs, and what it took to get from Florida to Anaheim. We break down our travel day experience, our choice of transportation, and what it’s like navigating the journey from the airport to the magic.<br /><br />Next, we dive into our stay at the charming and historic Candy Cane Inn, including fun facts (like how it was almost named the “Cinderella Inn” until Walt stepped in), amenities, and why it might be the best off-property value near Disneyland.<br /><br />Then we explore Downtown Disney, grabbing a bite at Naples Ristorante e Bar (spoiler: the Prosciutto e Melone pizza and mocktails are winners), shopping at World of Disney, and taking in the luxurious ambiance of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel.<br /><br />Our evening wraps up with refreshing drinks—including an impressive non-alcoholic lineup—at Ballast Point Brewing Co., a flavorful dinner at the newly reimagined Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio, and a sweet stop at Beignets Expressed.</p><h2>MEI-Travel – Expertise.
