We all know the typical ones, but the chatters are back to keep you cool and your mouth clean and in good graces to return to your usual religious constitution on Sunday without stain. What tips do you have that keep you cool other than the normal of, don't wear jeans in August... or any month that doesn't have an R in it in Florida, and still make sure before you do that it isn't hottter than a witches... well you know what. Join the chat and tell us how you keep your cool and save your swear jar coins in the heat!

Sometimes overhauls bring good change, and sometimes tears and fading memories. The chatters are back in this series discussing Hollywood Studios and what is gone and what is truly lost from it. Join the chat! What do you miss? What do you think was long overdue to be transformed ?

Quick, Disney needs your help... someone called in sick and they need you to play your favorite character in the parks today. Who is it and why? The chatters are chatting about who they would pick and why. Some of these are popular, and some of these might have you scratching your head saying I need to see that film now. Whatever the reason, the characters bring so much joy and fun to the parks. We want you to join the chat and tell us which character you're picking and why!

Are you eating the food at Disney or is the food eating you(r wallet)? Is the food really worth your first born child? No, not at all, but would we all still give our first born child to be at Disney right now instead of looking at our sad leftovers from last night? ABSOLUTELY. But how does Disney compare with food prices to other places? Is the quality really worthy of the price hike? Is it that much of a price hike? We're joking, we know it is a huge increase. I mean a breakfast is normally almost $40 a person, at breakfast at Tiffany's or at Cafe Dior maybe, but IHOP or Waffle House are doing good to get $12 out of most of us on a Wednesday and yet Disney has wait lists for hungry fans all the time. What do you think about the prices? Join the chat today!

Join the chat today! Tell us your favorite moderates!

Both Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawkins warned during their lifetimes that technology and AI especially would mean the end to mankind, but I think we all know they made that warning because they preferred to walk or in Stephen's case glide through Magic Kingdom with out a bunch of people looking down at their phones while they darted for space mountain to tell the cast member it wasn't really space.... Were those original Disney lovers right?? Has technology ruined the magic? Has it made it better? What do you think?

The chatters are back discussing your favorite adventure park at the happiest place on Earth, Disneyland's California Adventure. What spots did you miss the first time you went? What did we miss? Join the adventure and the chat today!!

Disneyland opened July 17, 1955 to those lucky enough to make it for the much anticipated new theme park. Media marked the event as Black Sunday due to infrastructure issues and chaotic highway backups for up to 10 miles long all while being broadcast live on multiple networks. Disneyland had invitation only tickets and expected around 30,000 people and was flooded with nearly 55,000 people due to counterfeit tickets and people hopping the fences to get in. The temperature was 100 degrees Fahrenheit and the asphalt was literally melting, infamously claiming one woman's high heel shoe who obviously wasn't expecting to get 20,000 steps in that day. The initial reports were dismal and rumors were that it was going to be a catastrophic mistake, but Walt had a vision and a dream, and he knew that he had to keep opening new doors. Join us today to chat about the celebrations of the 70th anniversary. Have you been to Disneyland yet? Chat with us. What do you love most about Disneyland? Do you agree with the chatters that it beats Disney World every time on being the best park in the US? July 17, 1955 was a media circus that left skeptics thinking it would flop, but the true Disney Fans knew this was just the beginning. Join us as we honor Disneyland's 70th celebration!

These last 100 episodes have been memorial for us at Main Street Chatter as some of us have experienced children graduating high school, trips every month to the parks or at least challenging ourselves to that, some of us returned to the parks after a long time away, some of us had a baby, well only one of us did, but the whole group became aunts and uncles and some of us had a big break up .... with buying too many Mickey Ears.... just kidding none of us can do that because there is no such thing as too many Mickey Ears!
