The Minnie Minxes Disney Podcast

For episode 47 we want to share with you a review of Beaches and Cream as well as luxury weekend "dreaming" trip to Walt Disney World so hello, welcome and enjoy the show! As our lovely Kimmie is away at Walt Disney World at the moment, friend of the show Jayne Phipps has stepped in and co-incidently whilst at WDW this summer Jayne and I met up and recorded some live audio of our families valiant attempt at the kitchen sink travel at Beaches and Cream so we thought it would be an ideal opportunity to share this with you all. Then we set our sights on a dream weekend break and as you what would you do? How would you spend a weekend at our favourite happy place if money was no object. This is exactly what I set Jayne and we share her plans with you on the show though alas it was all a dream as I was too tight with the cash to send her off to do this challenge in person! Myself and Kimmie would like to take a moment to welcome listeners new and old back to our old feed, after the past few months having the show part of the Touring Plans Podcast Network, and hope you will bear with us through the transition.

Welcome to the show notes that support episode 31 of the Minnie Minxes Disney Podcast. Due to our Kimmy being a bit poorly, I was joined, in parts, by the lovely Becky Manion for a discussion about how to get from park to resort; whether to hire a car or purely rely on buses, monorail or boat. Also on the show was the fascinating Kelly Green, who Kim and I had earlier interviewed. She was an amazing guest and to give you a bit of background information, here is her bio. SeaWorld Mommy was an editor at a national pet magazine in her "past life." Now she is a doting mom and home schoolteacher to Daniel, who was 6 in February. She and her family travel as often as possible around America's southeast to lots of theme parks, museums, zoos and other points of educational interest, but plan to take the kiddo to further points on the globe as soon as possible. Her blog, SeaWorldMommy.com, began as a way to "talk to grownups" again. It's about SeaWorld, the theme park, but also about this Sea WORLD we live in. It's an exciting place, if we just look around. And here, in Central Florida—the Theme Park capitol of the US—the excitement and learning opportunities come in both real and make-believe forms. Which is just how she likes it. Speaking of real, she also goes by her born name: Kelly Green (just like the color). If Kelly alone doesn't make you want to visit Seaworld I don't know what else will! All that plus two Ciarán facts, ways to contact the show and details of our recent competition winners - so a very busy podcast! So we all hope you enjoy the show and look forward to sharing episode 32 with you around 15th April 2013.
