In this fun-filled episode, we’re heading straight to the most magical place on Earth — Magic Kingdom! Join your besties, Chelsea and Jess, as they go head-to-head in this draft style showdown to pick their ultimate lineup of rides in MK. From timeless classics like Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion to thrill-packed favorites like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the competition gets heated! 🔥

You'll hear strategy, nostalgia, some hot takes (how does everyone feel about the Tomorrowland Speedway?), and plenty of pixie dust as we debate which attractions truly define the park. Whether you’re a Disney die-hard or a casual fan, this episode will have you wishing you were in the PeopleMover — or just arguing over which ride should’ve gone #1 overall.

✨ Meet us on Main Street USA in this week’s magical (and competitive) episode!

🩵 Do you want to play along?! Periodically pause the pod after each of our selections to make your own - send us your draft list on the socials!

P.S. the show that Jess refers to when talking about one of her draft picks is called Behind the Attraction and you can find two seasons of it on Disney+. We highly recommend!

Let's see how the plan unfolded during Jess's April 2024 post-trip. Post trips generally include a pretty detailed account of the entire trip, including time stamps, wait times (posted vs actual), prices, commentary, and general tips/tidbits that can apply to any trip.

Here's a few updates based on the episode:

• Since recording this episode, Fastpass/Genie+ line skipping has been renamed Lightning Lane MultiPass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. The practice of booking and using lightning lanes has changed since this trip.
• Rider switch is an option guests can use when one or more in your party do not meet the height requirement and cannot ride a certain ride.
• If you want to upgrade your park tickets, you want to do this while you still have remaining dates on your ticket (so in my case, this would have been before I entered the park on our MK day). Typically guest services outside of the park can assist with ticketing questions/upgrades.
• Baby Centers
• Capture the Moment: This link is specifically for MK, but you can search on the disney app and the other parks will come up.

Mentions:

• Undercover Tourist: We use this paid subscription for crowd calendars, wait times (real time waits that can sometimes differ than posted wait), planning out your day, reminders of dining and multipass booking dates, and room requests.
