Episode 314 - Catie (Main St. Bakery) + Is the Rockin' Rollercoaster Re-theme Actually a Good Thing?

About this episode

The episode discusses Disney park news and features an interview with Katie from the Main Street Bakery at Magic Kingdom.

Jeremy and Phillip kick things off with the latest Disney park news, including a deep dive into the Rockin' Rollercoaster overhaul at Hollywood Studios. They break down what the Muppets-themed redesign actually means for the ride experience, whether the Bluey permanent experience will move the needle on park attendance, and what came out of D23 about the Villains Land expansion. Plus, they get into private attraction rentals, resort bar crawl routes, and which parks win for first-timers, couples, and solo trips. Then Katie joins the show. She's a cast member at the Main Street Bakery inside Magic Kingdom, which most guests don't realize is a fully operating Starbucks. She pulls back the curtain on what it's actually like to work in one of Disney's busiest locations, from the cup writing traditions to the Disney-only drinks you won't find anywhere else, to the guest moments that remind you the magic isn't just in the rides. If you've ever walked past that bakery without a second thought, this episode will change that.
