Welcome to the MouseQuest Podcast- Your guide in the quest for the perfect Disney vacation. This is episode number 54. On this episode of the podcast we will be talking about the very BEST and WORST snacks you can find all around Walt Disney World. I know that for my family, snacking and vacationing go hand in hand, especially at the most Magical Place on Earth. We look forward to sharing our favorites with you as well as some great advice on some snacks you may want to avoid. Questions this week include:

• Let’s start at my favorite park, the Magic Kingdom. If you had to pick your top 3 snacks in MK, what would they be? What would you say are your top 3 snacks to avoid there?
• This is going to be a tough one because Epcot offers SO many different types of foods from around the world it can be difficult to narrow it down. BUT if you had to choose your top 3 snacks to get in Epcot, what would you pick? What 3 snacks would you avoid?
• Hollywood Studios is another area that really has some unique offerings for snacking. What are your top 3 in that park? How about your bottom 3?
• I love Animal Kingdom and many times they offer some unique animal themed cupcakes and other goodies as well. What are your top 3 snack choices in Animal Kingdom? What are the 3 snacks you would avoid?
• What is your #1 all time favorite snack at WDW? What is the #1 snack in all of WDW to avoid?
• Just to quickly touch on food offerings outside the parks, what is your #1 favorite and #1 least favorite snack that is NOT in a theme park?

Welcome to the MouseQuest Podcast- Your guide in the quest for the perfect Disney vacation. This is episode number 26. This week on the show we will be answering common questions about Dining in Walt Disney World. No matter who you are, where you’re from, or what your family is like, the one thing that everyone does in WDW is eat. So I hope the questions we answer today will help your family plan your next Disney Dining Experience. Questions this week include:

• One of the most frequently asked questions about Dining on a Disney vacation is; How much money should I bring each day? We know that there are a lot of variables to consider; depending on how each family eats, the ages of the children, etc. So could you tell us how you personally decide how much money to budget each day for food?
• How can guests at WDW save money on dining? Are there any discounts available?
• We know that the parks, resorts and other areas at the WDW Resort offer an incredible amount of very diverse restaurants to try. If someone wanted to learn more about what’s available including pricing, menu items, character and other special dining experiences how can they find that information?
• Many people have questions about the Disney Dining Plan. We are going to devote an entire show to this topic in the future, but could you give us a quick overview of what the Disney Dining Plan is for someone who has never used it?
• As Disney Veterans we know that it’s very important to make reservations in advance. How can someone make a reservation and what details are important to know about the process?
• What is one tip you would give someone planning their dining during their next WDW vacation?

Appearing this week are Dawn Gosdin, Rich Grady, Amy Leto, Marci Smith, and Liz Weimann.
