Generation Mouse Podcast

Welcome to Episode 90 of GenMouse! This week we're taking on the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot, that now has a nice injection of Food and Wine!  We dont waste too much time going over the stuff about F&G that we've covered in the past, but we did touch on the new things and the new food booths!  We finally delve into what we think the reasoning behind this injection of Food & Wine, and what it means for future festivals!

This episode of Generation Mouse is chalk full of runDisney Marathon Weekend fun!  Jen ran both the Walt Disney World Half AND Full Marathon last month and gives us an in depth recap of the entire weekend!  From check in to comments about both races, featuring what she liked and didn't like about the races, tips for those who are looking to do a runDisney event in the future AND we all knock around the idea of  Generation Mouse running team for the 5K this fall!

This week on Generation Mouse, Mark, Ash and Jen take a look at what their "Wish List" would be for the parks if they could make changes!  We get into a lot of Epcot discussion as well as Jen's thoughts on Future World, and the girls extensive list for Disney's Hollywood Studios!  Jen also names off a few attractions that should be flat out removed, and of course, there's plenty of food talk!

After a minor technical delay last week, Generation Mouse returns and takes on two of the biggest news stories out of Disney!  Starbucks is moving in to Magic Kingdom and Epcot, as well as Disney buying Lucasfilm and getting the rights to Star Wars, and all the studios that George Lucas owns!  The panel talks about the initial knee-jerk reaction to Main Street Bakery becoming a Starbucks location, and how in the end, this is a win-win for everyone, especially the guest, and then Mark proceeds to show just how much of a nerd he is when we get in to the Star Wars side of things!  We imagine what a Star Wars land in Disney's Hollywood Studios would look like, as well as possible food offerings, and what the acquisition means for future Disney films! Thanks so much for taking the time to listen to our podcast!  We have a blast doing it and we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you, our listeners! 

This week on Generation Mouse, Mark and Ashleigh welcome special guest Chris Wakefield of the Wakefield Report!  We discuss some of our favorite Disney Podcasts, and what makes a podcast good, amazing and perhaps not so great, as well as ask Chris for some on the spot feedback about our own show!  We mention many other Disney Podcasts this week so check it out!
