Your Guide to Disney Parks & ExperiencesHey howdy hey! How's your week going so far? My son is home from college, and today we ran over to Disney's Hollywood Studios to shoot a quick video, and meet some friends for lunch... and ohhh, Cobb Salad, how I love you so. But it wasn't about the video or the salad (yes, I DO eat salad... from time to time)... but about the moments I got to share with my son. Like the song from the Imagination Pavilion used to say, "Great vacations and celebrations can fade away in a year, but when we're making memories... happy days can reappear." And really, ALL of the memories surrounding Disney are pretty sweet, aren't they? Remember when you wanted to fly like Peter Pan? Your first trip to the Magic Kingdom? Enjoying a giant multi-colored lollipop that was a big as your head? And don't forget - your first trip to The Boathouse. Whether in your mind or your palate, Disney can be pretty sweet. And that leads me to my latest sweet adventure ... a trip to The Cake Bake Shop. 🎧 Sweet Dreams Are Made of This 🎧 On WDW Radio #821, I sit down with Gwendolyn Rogers, the visionary behind this fairytale-inspired eatery, and my friend Ashley Eckstein (yes, THE voice of Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars and founder of Her Universe!). Together, we dive into the stunning design, decadent food, and the heartfelt journey behind The Cake Bake Shop - and let me just say this... don't listen hungry! So, whether you’re a foodie, a Disney fan, or just love a good origin and entrepreneurial story, grab a fork (and maybe a napkin), and let’s dig in! 🎂💫 Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify! 🎥 And you can WATCH the entire tour, conversation, and cake-tasting extravaganza on YouTube! 🎥 🔴 Join me for tonight’s LIVE show at 7:30pm ET on Facebook and YouTube...
