Uncovering The Magic of Disney at Disney Parks and Resorts

What exactly is the magic of a Disney vacation versus any other vacation destinations -- including places like Universal and other theme parks?

The Disney magic means much more than just rides and attractions. In fact, Disney Parks themselves build on nearly 100 years of history behind the Walt Disney Company.

There is a foundational sense of Disney Magic that overlays everything that Disney does -- beyond even Disney Parks and resort hotels.

Join us as we explore the secret behind the Disney magic.

Exploring the Real Life Ghost Stories from Disneyland and Walt Disney World

Every Disney fan knows that there are 999 happy haunts that call the Haunted Mansions their home, but did you know that there may be real ghosts haunting The Happiest Place on Earth (Disneyland) and The Most Magical Place on Earth (Walt Disney World)?

In Episode 44 of 1923 Main Street: The Daddy Daughter Disney Travel Podcast, we take a closer look at all the known ghost stories from Disney's two major theme park destinations in North America. Are these ghost stories true, or just the result of over active imaginations. We explore the evidence and put our ghost hunter hats on to share our views on whether or not these tales of Disney hauntings have any legs to stand on.

Does Walt Disney Continue to Haunt Disneyland to this Day?

From the ghost of Walt Disney himself, to those of guests and Cast Members who met untimely passing at the parks, we evaluate the evidence as we know it to share our thoughts on whether or not these ghosts may actually inhabit the parks.

Do you Believe in Ghosts?

Join us as we discuss famous ghost stories from Disney Parks and attractions including Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion, Tower of Terror, Space Mountain and more.

Here are links to the videos that we referenced in the episode. Decide for yourself whether you believe in these Disney Parks hauntings.
