She is a HUGE Muppets fan and we wanted to get her on to share her thoughts and opinions. She sure has them. We talk about the history of the Muppet universe, spend some time talking movies and current (and past) TV shows. We talk music and characters and even bridge into a little bit of Sesame Street and the power of the Muppet Franchise.

Again, as per last week, our recording device went out on us a couple of weeks ago, so we are experimenting with different solutions while we wait for the good one to be returned from the shop.

Listen in to this fun episode, and if you are the one person who loves all things Muppet Babies, our apologies!

Re-imaging all the things around Disney World

Re-imaging all the things around Disney World

Hey Hangar Bar Friends. We are excited to be back with another episode. Today, we talk through all of the things that we would change in Disney World. We talk rides, lands, food, experiences and yes, even castles. We really want Josh D'amaro to give us a call after this one as we had some fantastic ideas.
We talk about it in the episode briefly but apologies for the audio quality. Our normal mixer went bad on us and we wanted to get an episode out so we defaulted to year one equipment which just doesn't sound as good. I think I did OK in edit, and promise we are looking for more permanent solutions.
Also, don't forget to join us for book club...invitations are going to be posted on our Facebook and Instagram soon and it is planned for June 26th with a release date of July 3rd for those that cannot attend.
Let us know what you might change in the Disney Parks...anything we missed? Appreciate you listening and supporting us!

Falling down the Rabbit Hole -- Animatronics

Falling down the Rabbit Hole -- Animatronics

Welcome back to the Hangar bar everyone. We are super glad you are here with us!


Today, Scott falls down another rabbit hole because he simply can't stop asking questions. In today's episode he goes into it thinking that the first audio animatronics at Disneyland came after the 1963 World's Fair and that Walt himself invented the whole concept. Let's see if he is right. He explores opening day attractions, does a little bit of time travel back to the 1400's and even talks about the future of animatronics around Disney. From humble beginnings to millions of dollars worth of design, animatronics have sure changed a lot!


Check us out on our social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit) and let us know if there are any rabbit hole topics you think Scott should explore in the future.

Trip Planning with Candice -- Deluxe costs how much??

Trip Planning with Candice -- Deluxe costs how much??

Welcome back to the hangar bar everyone. We are glad you are here.

Today, we continue Candice's trip planning series by looking at pricing for one of our listeners. Heather responded to one of our posts on Facebook and told us what kind of a trip she is looking for and Candice is getting pricing to help her plan. This is not intended to be a sales series but an informative one because we know there is a lot that goes into planning a Disney trip. Heather is a runner and is interested in visiting during a Run Disney event. Candice planned out a trip that includes park days, deluxe accommodations, running schedules, and plans on how to navigate during her stay. Pricing is accurate as of the release of this podcast on April 24th, 2023.

If you are interested in having your potential trip be a future episode let us know on Facebook, Instagram, or Reddit. We think these episodes can be a great planning tool for you to use as you think through your trips.

Join us for future book club events and hang out with us. The next book is going to be "Dream it, Do it" by Marty Sklar and the plan is to have our get together in late June, so you have lots of time to read.

If you read this book, let us know what you thought, anything we missed in our discussion?

Mixing it up with the Mouse -- Green Tea Berry Mint Julep

Mixing it up with the Mouse -- Green Tea Berry Mint Julep

Welcome back to the Hanagar bar everyone.  Happy to have you hear.

Today, Lariah wants to go to the Epcot Flower and Garden festival, but since she lives in Nebraska, she simply can't make it.  So, she decided to bring some of it home with her and make this mocktail from the Berry Basket Outdoor Kitchen.  We are not sure when the last time this booth was open for the Flower and Garden Festival, but this fun drink is a holdover we wish we could still find. The Berry Basket Outdoor Kitchen made its first appearance in 2017.

This recipe includes mint simple syrup, berries and green tea.  If you truly want to make it a julep, you will need to add a shot of your favorite bourbon!

Enjoy and let us know if you make and try this one!

Should we plan a trip? Scott and Candice are debating a trip to Disney!

Welcome back to the Hanagar bar everyone, we are glad you are here.  Today, Scott and Candice are sitting down and debating a trip to Disney World and on a Disney cruise so they can see Disney at Christmas and complete the fleet by sailing on the Wish.  There is a lot to think about from how long, how much and if there is enough value for the cost at Disney right now.  After you listen, interact with us at any of our social media pages and let us know if we should book or not.  This episode will be for you if you are thinking about a trip, are wondering how much one might cost, or you just like to hear Disney adults argue!

Our Love Letter to Castmembers!

Our Love Letter to Castmembers!

Welcome back to the Hangar bar everyone.  We are glad you are here, and we appreciate you listening! 

In today's episode, we take a little bit of time to appreciate Disney Cast Members and share stories of fantastic experiences we have had.  From custodial staff doing the Disney dip to security guards that made our day.  Food service workers who went above and beyond to characters that want to take us out on dates.  

This is also a great episode if you have a passion for customer service.  We spend some time talking through how you can help bring magic to Disney by being kind and making the cast members job easier.  Disney customer service is second to none and we talk about a few of our "Disney Service" moments when we were not in Disney as well.

Hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!  Let us know on our Facebook Page, our Instagram page, or our Reddit.  You can find us on all of them by searching for Hangin at the Hangar Bar!

Mixing it up with the Mouse

Mixing it up with the Mouse

Welcome back to the Hangar bar everyone. We are glad you are here.  Today we start another brand-new series that we are super excited about.  This is going to be all about recreating Disney food and drink at home. Because of some illnesses running around the Hangar bar crew, we were not able to get together for this one, but will include all four of us soon.  

Today though, Scott and Candice bring and old familiar treat to their home kitchen.  They attempt to recreate Lefou's brew.  This treat that can be found at Gaston's tavern in Fantasyland is a treat that has lots of memories and nostalgia.  We started here because it is a familiar flavor that we could compare to the real thing.  In the future, we are going to recreate recipes, treats, cocktails, dinners and desserts and bring you all along for the ride.

The recipe we used today came from Disney Dream Co and can be found here: LeFou's Brew 2.pdf (disneydreamco.com)

This simple recipe is as follows:

1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold

4 tablespoons Mango Juice

4 tablespoons of Passionfruit Juice (we substituted Guava juice at the recommendation of the internet)

12 oz can of frozen apple juice

1 cup (or so) of ice cubes

1/2 cup Marshmallow Syrup


Whip up heavy cream, mango juice and passion fruit juice in a cold bowl for about 3-5 minutes on high until you get soft peaks.  Store in fridge.

Add frozen apple juice, marshmallow syrup and ice into a blander.  Blend until you get a slushy consistency.

Poor the mix into a cup and top with the whipped cream mixture.


It is delicious...give this recipe a try and let us know if you agree with our very scientific measurement scale.

Trip Planning with Candice -- Going to Disney World without riding rides

Trip Planning with Candice -- Going to Disney World without riding rides

In today's episode, Candice does a solo episode and shares some experiences and insights on going to the Disney parks without going on any rides.  Listen in to see why she was upset at a putt putt golf course, hear just exactly what she saw while sitting outside Rock'n Roller Coaster, and many other things you can do if you don't want to go on rides while on your trip to Orlando.  

This is Candice's first "solo" episode so let her know what you thought by going to our social media pages on Facebook, Reddit, or Instagram.

Also, don't forget about the book club, there is still time to get the book and read before our group discussion.  Also, Candice would love for you to share some trip details with her so she can do some live quoting during a future episode of trip planning.  That won't lead to a high-pressure sales situation at all, she just thinks it would be interesting for folks to hear how she goes about quoting a trip and give everyone an idea of just how much a Disney trip can cost!

Appreciate all of you listening!

Welcome back to the Hangar Bar.  We have missed you!  Since we last recorded an episode, there have been just a couple of changes in the Disney Universe.  Listen in as Lacey, Lariah, Candice and Scott talk about all of the things!  We cover changes in our format, changes in leadership, updates to the parks, new nighttime spectaculars and lots more.  We go on rants, we get off topic, we laugh, we get more off topic and just all around have a great time.
