Catherine and Kristen are back at the parks!  Listen in to find out what you need to know about WEB Slingers, the brand-new Avenger's campus, and what it takes to hork down a goo-filled cake while sitting and admiring a hot Captain America.  No ride spoilers were given in the making of this episode - except during a few specific minutes where we outline the ability to skip 'em.  Grab a giant candy bar from the Pym Test Kitchen and join along!

Join us in the car for the excitement, the eggs in a bag, and some bonus history as Kristen tells us a lil about DCA in honor of it’s 20th year!

It's Lemon! (Finally!)

Get all the secrets, frustrations, joys and tirades about what it's like to go to Disneyland right now.  Kristen and Catherine dish about what on earth we're all supposed to do with these new ways of doing things, even as they continually change (every. single. day.).  Welcome to Disneyland!

Hang on tight, Brad-of-being-married-to-Catherine-fame is driving like a maniac to get the girls to Disneyland!  After 450 long days, Kristen and Catherine get to drive to the D! It's Bwad's first time at Batuu, complete with a ride on Rise of the Resistance.  Tune in and find out all about why you should be keeping TP in your car, adventures in the world of unpeeled eggs, why the girls will be spending time in an assortment of graveyards, and enjoy them figuring out how to podcast again.

Disneyland is back and so is Driving to Disneyland!  Kristen and Catherine cover bucket hats, the fact that cotton candy is basically made in a particle accelerator, and pop sensation Hoku - you know, the usual.  They also discuss plans for their imminent trip back to the motherland - we're headed to Disneyland!

Welcome to Disneyland!  Today we're joined by Marvel and Disney gurus Loni Clark (@lonicatherinec) and Ricky Trann (@robodenim) to talk about Wandavision, their favorite places in Disneyland (and WDW!), and what Valentines day looks like when you haven't seen your significant other in a year.  This episode has it all - Love Island-style games, video games, X-men crossovers, and why it's so terrifying to actually get to the character part of a meet-and-greet.  There's a lot of sweating involved.

Sometimes you gotta reach beyond the 101 Dalmatians from the movie and get yourself some off-brand ones.  Kristen and Catherine play spin-the-wheel with Disney movies and talk about their experiences, revel in rich and varied reactions to Fox and the Hound, wonder at the marvel of Disney World's new Krispy Kreme Grilled Cheese, and are joined by friend of the pod @Lindseyruffles.  Toot Toot Beep Beep!

Off-Brand Dalmatians + Snowbound Bogeymen

This episode, Catherine and Kristen gathered on zoom to squee about the news of Disneyland becoming a vaccination sight, and sigh about the loss of Annual Passes. Kristen brought expert efficiency and rhyming to the episode by suggesting this week’s topics: Vax Chat, Pass Chat, Tat Chat, Math Chat, Dad Chat, Pad Chat, and of course Rat Chat. Grab a cat and a mat and step into the podcast!

Vaxx Chat at Disneyland

It's Chreestmas time again!  And all the other holidays we love so much.  Join Catherine and Kristen on a sentimental journey through the Disney toys they got for Christmas as kids, how to celebrate the holidays right this very weird year, and some badass grandmas and historical ladies.  We also cover the recent Disney announcements (SPOILER: it's a sh*t-ton of sequels) including Disenchanted, the Hocus Pocus sequel, and don't worry they threw in some reboots as well.  We round it all out with some Disney Holiday treats... enjoy and we'll see ya next year!

The girls hold a variety of stuffed Dumbos and bring big sleepover energy to the newest episode of Driving to Disneyland!  Secrets are divulged, including a mother's zipper-hoarding, a stuffie pilfered from a small child, and really great new info on a Spoonful of Sugar (and the song Julie Andrews kicked out of Mary Poppins).  

Stanimals + Lazy Saturdays

It's the most controversial Thanksgiving of them all!  Kristen and Catherine reach into the depths of Disney's history with Native cultures - what they got right and what they got woefully wrong.  Kristen teaches us about the Native American village at Disneyland and the folks who felt it was like home, we're haunted by a mysterious lumberjack, and find our way to mistaking a Puritan for a famous footballer.  If you learn nothing else from this episode, you'll learn how to properly be guilted into complementing the chef at a Thanksgiving dinner. 

Forced Thankfulness + Haunted Lumberjacks

Kristen and Catherine sat down for a chat with former Imagineer Chris Eng, who we lovingly nicknamed the Ben Wyatt of Disneyland! We talked in depth about the building of Batuu, the development and financial side of the parks and company, gushed over his beautiful name tag plaque, and generally felt feelings about how much we love Disney. This one’s good for the head and the heart.

Welcome back to the Spookiest Morning of them all - the one where you can't leave the house!  Catherine and Kristen play a madcap version of Spooky Mad Libs, dive into the spookiest costumes our followers sent us, and play Guess the Plot of Halloweentown!  In short: it's very spooky.  Enjoy!

SPOOKY MORNING: Home Edition!

This time on Driving to Disneyland, we get JUICY!  It's a return to our roots with the time-honored tradition of having one fun-to-say word guide our Disney dive.  From the one Disney party that got so crazy that Walt never spoke of it again... to Demi Lovato's broken engagement to a twitter-crazed starf***er, we have well and truly GONE there.  Tune in for the JUICIEST Disney dish of all!

JUICY - Gwimpies & Mismatched Stars

Kristen's wine cooler, pilfered from Mom, is no match for the Fresca-and-Vodka soaked bonanza that takes place on this episode with special guests the Steamboat Willies!  On this episode, you'll discover what it takes to cry in French, how best to schedule your Disney World trip if you can guarantee a hangover will be involved, who's a Murderino, and how to handle an adoring public who can't get over the fact that you're not in a throuple.  The Steamboat Willies tell us what it's like to be Driving to Disney World, and exactly what the cue is to pull out your extra Mickey crispies for the ride home.  Plus, we finally settle the great Dole Whip controversy - is vanilla or pineapple better?!
