Ever found yourself daydreaming about a spontaneous Disney escapade? Tune in as we discuss our spur-of-the-moment Disney World trip planning. The original plan was to visit Epcot for the Food & Wine Festival, but destiny had a Halloween party in store for us instead. We took the road less travelled, opting for a budget-friendly off-property hotel and renting a car. The experience will be a far cry from our typical Disney hotel stays.

As we gear up for our Disney World adventure, we found ourselves reminiscing about our last trip to Disneyland and the gems we missed out on. So, we decided to take a different approach this time. We dive into an insightful conversation about taking the scenic route, savouring the magic in every Disney moment, and ensuring our Disney bucket list doesn't remain just a list. It’s an art to balance time and enjoyment at Disneyland, and we're here to master it.

Now, who doesn't love a good deal, right? We spill the beans on some insider secrets about booking Disney trips, grabbing the best discounts, and even the tantalizing possibility of unexpected upgrades or Pixie Dust surprises. But wait, there's more! We've also kicked off the Halloween season early, discussing our favourite Halloween movies and introducing our 'Miles from Main Street Halloween Movie Madness' event. So whether you're a Disney travel enthusiast or a Halloween movie aficionado, we've got you covered. Get ready for a magical journey filled with travel tips, movie recommendations, and lively personal experiences.

It's time to press play – Let’s talk about it!

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

So today, on Miles from Main Street, we are going to have some random talks and we're going to talk some trivia. But first a word from our sponsors, Bryan Lewis.

Bryan Lewis:

You always set me up so good, Mykhailo, I never know how to react. Yeah, you know here. I am just here to please ask you to share with a friend and leave a review for the show. It helps us out and we're always looking to grow, so let's do that. I wanted to just take time to catch up, Mykhailo.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Yeah, I think that would be good, just with kind of everything that's going on. My summer is starting to wind down, so I'm happy that I'll actually have some time to myself and not have to teach all these things and go to all these gigs. I can really focus and hone in on Disney.

Bryan Lewis:

Well, speaking of, you're heading out on a quick trip here in a couple weeks, aren't you?

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Yeah, it's pretty much like two weeks we're going to Disney World. We're going basically for a weekend trip. We're adding in a couple of weekdays in there. The main reason it's funny the way that this trip came about was we were like, oh, we really want to go to Food and Wine this year. And then we were like it'd be really cool to just really quickly go down there and just go to EPCOT for Food Wine and that's our whole trip. And we started looking at dates and everything and hotel rooms, which the hotel that we're staying at we're actually staying off property and we're staying at some really janky, cheap hotel, but we're not. We're barely going to be spending any time in the hotel. So the hotel didn't have to be nice for us.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

But yeah, it started out just as like a let's go to Food and Wine this year. And then it turned into oh, the flight dates from this date to this date are super cheap, very reasonable, so let's actually go from this date to this date. And we added in a couple weekdays. And then we were like, oh, there's a Halloween party on the first day that we get there and we would have time, so we might as well go. And now it's like basically turned into like a full blown trip. Only in the plans. I don't think we're going to Animal Kingdom I think that's the only park that we're not going to on this trip. But yeah, it very quickly turned into a full blown Disney trip when it was only supposed to be just a weekend Epcot getaway.

Bryan Lewis:

So and it was interesting. We were talking to you, I don't know on a random evening quite a while ago now, because this has been in the works for a while, but we were talking and Kristin and I think mentioned that Ron on the go is going to be at the Halloween party that night. If you were to go and you were like I'm booking it right now, I don't care, we're going like you're like.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Ron's going to be there, I'm going exactly yeah, so we're going to be able to go say hey to Ron, so that should be fun.

Bryan Lewis:

Yeah, that's awesome. Now I'm looking forward to doing a trip report with you on that so we can hear all about it and everything that you get to do. So make sure you take lots of videos and pictures and notes so that we can cover all that.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Of course. Yeah, I was actually trying just the other night because we are staying at a really crappy hotel. I mean we'll find out, but it seems it's very cheap and it's off Disney property. So I was actually looking at what like all stars rates were in, like other, because it's hard to not stay on Disney property, like that's always kind of like when you're having a Disney trip. That's like another really great part of like your Disney trip is showing up to your hotel and we're going to show up to like a motel. So yeah, but I was looking on there and just everything is more expensive than we wanted to wanted to spend on this quick little trip.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

But yeah, I'm excited to go. I'm excited to kind of like see what it's like staying off property. I've stayed off property before but it was really kind of like on property because I was right next to Disney Springs. We are renting a car. We're using some app where you like you rent somebody else's car, so they basically like come drop the car off and then you take the car and you use the car for like how many days you're renting it for and then you go give it back.

Bryan Lewis:

A friend of mine recently did that and had really good luck with it. They ended up getting a Tesla.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Yeah, with us. We've been threatening to move down to Disney for a while now and this will be a good little like test to see like what it's like actually parking and like actually using that, like the.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

TTC Disney parking lots and everything. Yeah, exactly. So it'll be interesting to kind of like do all that, because we're so used to leaving the parks all tired and just getting on a bus and getting taken to our hotel, whereas now we're gonna have to get to the parking lot, walk to our car, get into our car, actually drive back to the hotel that we're staying at. So it's gonna feel different and I'm not super thrilled about that part. But it'll be interesting to kind of see like how that goes and how, like if we like doing it like that, because if we're okay with that, then we could take more of these like impromptu, like short trips, but I have a feeling that we're gonna like staying at Disney Hotels more.

Bryan Lewis:

I mean, they're always much well, they're always really nice. I don't want to say much better than off property, because there are some nicer hotels out there, but it's always nice being on property, and you know, one thing I wanted to talk about was that we are doing a trip together. Right, we're going to meet up with you guys while you are on your big trip in December, just Tammy and I and you know there are people out there that would say you're going to Disney without kids and yes, we are actually going to go and have a couples trip and I think that is gonna be a lot of fun, because there's a lot of things that you can do without kids, right?

Bryan Lewis:

So we're planning to do California Grill. We're planning to go to Trader Sam's like you don't want to go to these places and be drinking up a storm with your kids. I mean, that's kind of Wisconsin, right? Yeah, but I'm looking forward to doing that as well, because there's so many things that we're gonna be able to do that I don't normally do while I'm there, because we have our kids with us.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Yeah, and we had a.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

One of the main reasons we were really gung ho to do this was that when we went to Disney land, and every so often we would join up with you guys, like you guys really get it, and even we do the parks differently like 100%, but you guys kind of understand the parks real well and like we're able to have that dialogue of like, oh, do you want to go do this?

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

What if we go do this? It was real easy to just kind of like Like as a pack, like follow you guys around and not feel like we were like missing out on anything or Like not like doing things that we like typically wouldn't do, or like something weird, and so that I think we'll be able to gel really well, even even though, like and we're with this quick trip, I think we are gonna try to like be a little bit more chill, even though, like we don't, we have less days than normal. But maybe being on this couples trip like you guys will really be able to show us how to like Really kind of like slow down and chill and like like really kind of take everything in. That's one of the things that I'm I'm Really excited about to do with you guys is just kind of like go chill places.

Bryan Lewis:

And I, you know, it's interesting that you say that, because when we're in Disneyland, we spent a lot of time going oh no, we forgot this. Oh no, we, we need to be over here, or you know, like we, we came home and I've expressed a lot of these regrets since that trip. But you know, we came home and and there's things and I watched Disneyland videos and there's things that I'm like oh, I missed that, I didn't get to do that or something like that, but in the moment, I Was really trying to take my time, whereas Tammy wanted to do everything as quickly as possible, like we have always done and I was just trying to.

Bryan Lewis:

I mean, we had four days in those parks and I figured that was plenty and it was. We hit everything that we needed to hit and the things that I go we didn't get to do. That is maybe you know, like we didn't get tiki room. That's kind of a big one to me. We didn't get in there to actually watch it.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

But Tisk tisk.

Bryan Lewis:

I know right, but like it's. It's these little things like oh, I didn't get a breakfast chimichanga, or I didn't Get into this store over by blue bayou, you know, it was like just little things like that. It's not like this big deal.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Oh you didn't?

Bryan Lewis:

The new, the new Tiana store next to the blue bayou. I didn't get in there.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Maybe that's the. We definitely went into there. There's that store that's like right there. It's like, technically, the pirates gift shop. We went in there, I don't think.

Bryan Lewis:

I think we walked through there, but there was another one, a brand new one, that they just opened. That's all tiana themed that we didn't get into so.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Maybe we I remember kind of shopping that area with Kristen. Kristen got a really cool it's starting to get chilly Kristen got got a really cool like quarter zip pullover there of parts of the Caribbean. So we we definitely went in there, but I don't remember, so I don't specifically remember going into the tiana place.

Bryan Lewis:

Yeah, so those are some of the things. But you know, like I said, like like that, last day we were hanging out by the Emporium and I was just kind of like Chilling we were waiting for the hundredth cavalcade to come and just chatting with you and and Kristen and Tatiana and and Tammy's going, why are we wasting all this time Just sitting?

Bryan Lewis:

here, and I'm like you know, and that was one of those times, it was like we're just taking our time and what I what Tammy has said recently was, with the trip in December, we were talking about how to handle Epcot, how to handle a party and things that we want to do and what, what we might want to accomplish when we get there. And I Asked about Epcot and she said, honestly, I Just want to chill, walk around rolled showcase and eat cookies and she's referring to the cookie stroll. Right? So I think, being that it's a quick trip for us for Christmas, we're gonna be packing in a lot of stuff, but we're still. We still have that mindset of just taking our time. And you know, like I was asking about Disney Springs, because we're gonna go to Disney Springs that Saturday and what we want to do it. She's like I want to have a drink at the hangar bar.

Bryan Lewis:

You know, like yes like things that we just relax and do and not run around and shop and Find this thing and find that like she just wants to take your time as well. So you know, like you saying, like we understand the parks, I don't know about that. Like I like the way you say we get it. Like I never think of it that way. I always think like I'm just trying to Think of the next step. So that because a lot of times when we come off a ride the family looks at me and says what's next? Where are we headed? So for me, I'm always trying to think that next step ahead.

Bryan Lewis:

Mm-hmm and so it's like there were taught. There were many times at Disneyland that I just go. I don't know.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

What do you want to do?

Bryan Lewis:

and then we would use the information we had and decide where to go. But we had the time we had four days in those two parks, right, whereas this time it's, you know, and this is what I try to tell people Like people say, oh, it's going to be so busy or oh, we couldn't do all this stuff, and it's like it's a. It's really a battle of managing expectations, because if everyone goes in expecting to ride this, that, the other thing, and that's all you get done for the day, you've you've had a successful day. If you're expecting to get, you know, those three rides and then you get three more on top of it, oh my gosh, I didn't even feel the crowd. You've done a great job. You need to do our trips for us every time, right, like that's. Just managing those expectations can really help with your park day, and that's what I tell everybody.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

So it's funny. I want, I wanted to go back and hit. One thing that you talked about was Disney Springs, and there's there's lots of things that we've never done at Disney Springs. More moto. We've never eaten there. We've never been to the hanger bar. Something that we recently wanted to do was we wanted to eat homecoming and and I wanted to get one of those. Was it like like a moonshine drink and then like just keep getting it refilled throughout the day? Like that sounds amazing.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

I've wanted to do that too, but I feel like yeah, I feel like now at this point, though, like there's definitely think like certain things that like when we go to places like Disney Springs, like we have to do, like we like, for some reason, when Krista and I go, we always have to hit up that like co-op place, because there's always like really cool, like kitschy things there that like you can't really find anywhere else. It's almost like their test market.

Bryan Lewis:

They'll put things there. Yeah, that they're they're trying to figure out if people would like. Yeah.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

That's. That's definitely always a must, like I mean world of Disney, of course, but it's like other than that. Like everything else is kind of like like we can take it or we can leave it. So I think that's like when we go, that's kind of what I want to do is like hit the things, that like we typically want to hit, but then like go do some things or like maybe hang out somewhere that we've never done before and just kind of like chill and like not have to like bounce from thing to thing. And I don't think I don't even really think we typically do that anymore.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

We used to especially like when I used to go with like my brother and my sister like we would, we would bounce from like place to place all the way down until we were at Cirque du Soleil, and so that's the thing is that like we've we've done all of that, like we've we've done it before, and I think that's kind of like the mindset that we're starting to get more now too is like because when we go to Epcot for this trip coming up, like we I don't think we need to like hit every single ride, like I think I told Kristen I was like if we don't do Ratatouille, like I'm not going to be sad, or like, if we like there was definitely certain rides I want to hit, like living with the land.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

If we don't do Soarin, like I will be perfectly okay with that Test track. Yeah, like, let's like we can skip test track. But yeah, like it's gotten to the point where, like, unless unless we're there for like a longer trip, and like we want to make sure that we like hit all the things that we want to hit like that's like a different type of trip. But I don't know, we I think we're we're going to test to see if we can just slow, like go, because who knows, like we may talk all of this and say like, oh, we're going to be slower, like we don't have to ride it, and then we may get there and just like half the go, go, go, go, right, because that's how we know, know how to do the parks, but especially for the November December trip, I think that honestly, that sounds amazing.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

It's just like doing that cookie stroll and like hanging out back in world showcase and like that. That sounds like a like, honestly, anytime I go to EBCOT. If I could just hang out back in the back in world showcase like I'm totally fine with that. Yeah, me too.

Bryan Lewis:

Some of my favorite memories are just stopping and sitting and taking in the the atmosphere.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Yes, yeah, 100%.

Bryan Lewis:

It's hard to do that, though, at times, because you know there really is a sense of time is money. When you're at Disney, Like I've spent all this money, I need to suck everything out of it that I can and that's why you buy an annual pass. Well, yeah, I mean that is part of it, but you know, this gets into another thing I wanted to discuss, and that's you know, like there are a lot of deals dropping right now for Disney and it's a it's almost alarming what they're doing because it's it's fast and furious. What's coming out Like? Just last week, they dropped a discount from now until the end of March where you can get up to 30% off of a room, and it depends on what hotel you stay at. It's anywhere from 15 to 30% and the dates that you're there. But you can save a lot of money right now going there, and I think it's really signaling that the bookings that they're looking for in the hotels are not there.

Bryan Lewis:

It's interesting as, as I, as I talk this through, I had a conversation with a coworker today because another one that's coming soon. They announced it, but it's not starting until November 14th the ability to book it and that is that. Any kids on your plan will be 50% off. Now you have to book a room with not discounted tickets and the dining plan, but then the kids are half price, However many kids you have on your on your room. So I mean, I don't know how that savings looks for families. That's just another option and that one is booking starting November 14th for dates between March 3rd and June. That covers spring break in there, which is kind of crazy.

Bryan Lewis:

So that tells me that and I think what's happening is that they're not getting the bookings in their home Tells. You know, the parks are still kind of busy when you watch streams and you pay attention to the crowds Like it's still seeming busy. So I'm wondering if people are saying it's not worth staying on property now, and I wonder what those reasons are. Is it the money? Is it because there's no magical express, so there's no reason to do it anymore? Um, I don't know. It's just some interesting thoughts there, but Lots of really good deals going on right now like lots of really good deals.

Bryan Lewis:

So Back to that coworker. I was saying you know, it might, he's planning a trip in 2025 and I said it might be worth moving up a year and he's got little or kids, so it's gonna be hard for them to really determine if it's worth it, because their youngest would be just about a year old at that point. Um, so anyway, my, my thing to him was that People did all this revenge travel recently. Right, we had 2022 and 2023, which was all revenge travel, and the idea at Disney is that it takes the average customer two to three years to save up for their next trip, and so you figure that out like okay, so everyone had all this Pent up travel energy and they just expended it, and now they're all saving all of those people around the same clock again. Like there's no, like it's not all spread out like it used to be before kovat.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Yeah right.

Bryan Lewis:

So those two to three year people, if it's showing as soft for next year right now, then I'm looking at 25 is being busy and create like we're not gonna get these deals in 2025 is how I'm looking at it. So that's kind of why I wanted to bring it up is that you know they're offering so many deals right now. Maybe now is the time Don't tell anybody this, it's between you and me, because I don't want a ton of people there but Maybe Right now is the time to go if you can afford it.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Yeah, now is the time, now is the best time.

Bryan Lewis:

I would agree. I, I mean, you know, I don't think that last week of march is a good time to travel because I was looking at doing it Now. I'm going in February instead. But yeah, you know, like there's, there may be reasons to move up your travel plans.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Yeah, and I don't know I've. It's always been hard because for me, I I don't really ever look at those deals and say like, oh, like, I have to plan a trip around these deals. Most of the time it's just kind of like oh, this deal is happening, we'll, we'll, we'll, take advantage of that. Um, and I'm also not the type of person who I mean I don't have a giant family, so like I don't have to like Save up for for two years and then go on a trip. So we're able, we're, we're lucky, we can, we can take these like spur-of-the-moment trips. Um, but yeah, it's, it's interesting to see that disney's doing it. I've heard from several people that, like, if disney doesn't have to, they don't do.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Know no, and they're not seeing that they are and a lot. And actually brian and I were talking at one point, um, and you were talking about all of these crazy discounts that are happening. And then I went on to look at um, look at these discounts, and there's even an annual pass holder a 35 discount, and that made me think like, oh huh. But when you were, when you're saying like maybe they're not getting the occupancy that they're looking for, they're getting it at these, the budget hotels, because I was like, oh, I could use this 35 on like sports and get like a pretty decent rate. No, like like none of the none of the budget Um, uh, hotels are in there for for these deals, it's a lot of like the deluxe resorts, um, almost exclusively, uh, for these deals, right.

Bryan Lewis:

So that's that's interesting to me and they but they are offering it at the smaller ones. You just have to find the right dates.

Bryan Lewis:

Yeah and a lot of those will sell quickly because they won't offer too many. Because again it's going back to that money thing. Um, you know, and they've had that they had this happen last year too, where people were showing up and they were, or a few days before they would arrive, they were getting Pixie dusted, as we like to say, and being bumped up to a, a moderate, or bumped up to a deluxe even, because they couldn't get anybody there. So they were putting, they were taking these people and moving them up at the same rate that they're already paying, so they could create more inventory at the lower level, and so we might even see that happening again. It'll be interesting to see if we start hearing stories of that. You know it, it's going to take a little while. October is a very busy time for disney. December is a pretty good busy time. Obviously, the week after christmas is, but maybe after the holidays we'll get in there and it'll be. We'll start seeing people being bumped up and and Upgraded, as they like to say.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Yeah, if anybody has a full, full proof plan Of how to get pixie dusted, please let me know. My mykhailo. v. nahirniak@ gmailcom. And I try so hard um to get pixie dusted. It never happens. Um, there was at one point I actually called disney and I was like hey, this is our honeymoon. Like, is there, is there honeymoon things that you guys can like do to the room or anything like that? And the person on on the phone was like oh, yeah, we, we I'll put a note in and they'll, they'll leave something in the room for you. And it never happened, um, although we were staying at, like sports. So I don't know if they actually do it, stuff like that at sports, um, but yeah, it's. Um, that's always been a dream of mine is for them to be like oh, by the way, uh, we're, we're bumping you to, uh, grand california, and here you go, or grand for me in grand california Wait, I have to go across the country.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Um, I have to go. We're going to disneyland now.

Bryan Lewis:

You know, I and maybe You're trying too hard, Maybe they're seeing through it. I don't know. No, but probably.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

I mean.

Bryan Lewis:

I don't. I don't ever expect anything. I have gotten a few things here and there, um, but I don't ever expect it and I don't ever work at it, because Then it's more fun when you do get it. You know like, oh my gosh, really. So like when we went camping at Fort Wilderness, we did the early check-in as we were driving down and told them about what time we would be there and they weren't sending us our site number. They weren't sending us our site number.

Bryan Lewis:

Finally, pull in, get up to the gate and tell them who we are, and the lady gets on the phone and comes back well, how about an upgrade? And it's like oh, okay, so for whatever reason, the site on the level that we had paid for wasn't ready or they didn't have one available or something happened right, so we couldn't go to that spot, but they gave us another one that got us closer to the pool and closer to the movie and stuff like that. So it was nice to have that. Like they were like oh yeah, we're gonna upgrade you, you get sewer with your campsite now, and like I don't have sewer on my camper, so it didn't make any difference.

Bryan Lewis:

But I was like, oh great. But then, as we got into the site and started realizing where we were, it was a nice upgrade that we had a better location. So Nice.

Bryan Lewis:

You know, it's just I don't expect that kind of stuff either. It's like the little things that I really get excited over. Cast members handed Mia and some friends of ours girls some stuffed animals one day when we were in the contemporary here. You guys want these, like that was awesome. It's those little things like that that I get excited about and that's the stuff that I'll tell people about. But you can't expect it and this is not for you, this is for anyone listening. I always try to say this don't expect the magic, because then it won't happen. But if you're not expecting it, you might end up with a free Mickey pretzel.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

And one of the not the most magical, but like something, one of the like the little things that I've had happen to me which, like this, wasn't that they were just doing their job and it was just me getting excited about mundane things. But when we went to movies, when Kristen and I went to movies, I didn't even tell, like we didn't even say like what section we wanted to stay in. But I wanted to stay in the muddy ducks section because I love that section, and we ended up staying in the muddy ducks section. So it's just like little things like that that like get me all excited about Disney and like the things that they can do. So that's I mean I love all that stuff, like I love Disney. So like if, oh, by the way, you're staying at a Disney hotel tonight, oh yay, I'm excited about that. Just in general.

Bryan Lewis:

Yeah, so it'll be an exciting trip. It'll be fun. Hey, we wanted to do some trivia. We haven't done trivia in a while.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Yeah.

Bryan Lewis:

I have some trivia questions for you.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Again.

Bryan Lewis:

I like to use the old wonderful world of Disney trivia game. I am just going to pick one card at random and we are going to go down those five questions and see how you do. Great, let's do it All right. One random card, all right. I don't even know what this category is. It's under the category of A, the letter A, a Bell from the animated feature Beauty and the Beast makes a cameo appearance in what later Disney animated feature.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Do you have options?

Bryan Lewis:

I don't.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

Oh, okay.

Bryan Lewis:

And I'm looking at the answer. I had no idea. I didn't even know they were doing things like this back then yeah.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:

I want to say like Aladdin, but those were like so close together. I know that what.

Bryan Lewis:

I was going to say think a little bit later than that.

Mykhailo Nahirniak:
