Genie+ Will Outperform Other Touring Plan Apps By a Mile

Disney Genie+ promises to bring everything you've always wanted from a Disney planning perspective into one well-thought-out app. Nothing will come close, particularly the third-party touring plan apps that sell snake oil. Cancel your subscriptions to the wannabes, because the free DisneyGenie app direct from Disney looks to be a the ultimate planning solution.

With Disney's Genie+ you will easily be able to craft your Disney vacation your way. From personalized activity in the My Day tab, to having everything all in one place, you'll benefit from Disney plans that re-adjust on the fly as your plans or park conditions change.

Join us for Episode 94 of The Disney Travel Podcast at 1923 Main Street as we share all of our unedited thoughts on Disney Genie and how to plan your Disney World vacation your way.

Some of the most important things that make a Disney vacation so enjoyable are things that you may not see or notice at all. And that's just the way it's supposed to be. This week we go inside the business of Disney travel at Walt Disney World and beyond.

Listen to The Disney Travel Podcast

The Business of Disney Vacation and the Guest Experience

When you visit any Disney travel destination (such as Walt Disney World, Disneyland or any other Disney resort around the globe), you'll experience a very similar style of guest experience. This doesn't happen by accident and half the time you won't even notice how it shapes the world around you.

In Episode 91 of The Disney Travel Podcast at 1923 Main Street we explore five key areas that are distinctly Disney and that help to shape that magical Disney travel experience.

Join us as we discuss:

1. Brand Voice
2. Change
3. Guest Service
4. Innovation
5. Backstage

Disney vacations have a certain glow that you don't really experience when vacationing to non-Disney destinations. Join us as we explore how the anticipation and after effects of a Disney vacation can have a big impact on your experience.

The Magical Glow of a Disney Vacation

As Disney says: glow with the show. There's a certain glow you get with a Disney vacation to Walt Disney World, Disneyland or pretty much any Disney travel destination. In Episode 77 of The Disney Travel Podcast at 1923 Main Street we discuss the Pre-Glow and Post-Glow stages and just how long the glow will last.

What Actually is the Disney Vacation Glow?

The Disney vacation glow may be a little different for every traveler, but one thing's for sure: it all stems from Walt Disney's original vision for an immersive family-friendly environment where guests are the stars of the show and the outside world can be left behind (even if just for a little while).

Have you experienced the Disney glow? Join us to hear how it may affect you.

Ever Wondered How that Disney Ride Came to Be?

Before Disney had a full slate of films and other programs that they could use as inspiration for rides and attractions, they had to find other ways to create the magic.

In this episode of The Disney Travel Podcast at 1923 Main Street, we explore the fun stories behind several classic Disney attractions. You may be surprised where some of these rides actually have their roots. You'll also discover that Disneyland was not Walt Disney's first idea for a Disney park.

This and more fun in this Episode 73 of 1923 Main Street.
