In the wake of Comic-Con and TWO explorer trips to Disney World, the troop had quite a bit to cover this week.
This mega-episode addresses the good (Disney magic!), the bad (Epcot’s tiered fast pass system), and the Guardians of the Galaxy (poor Jessica didn’t know where to start).
Welcome to Round 1 of the Junior Explorers, a series of minisodes featuring our explorers talking with their kids. After all, what’s better than seeing Disney through the eyes of a child?
Episode one kicks off with Adrianne and her 5-year-old, Melanie. Hear what Melanie thinks about Walt Disney World, and her brutal honesty with Cinderella about which castle is really the best one.

This week our explorers are talking about two things: food and fun. Nothing surprising there! First, we measure another US theme park against Disney: Busch Gardens.
We also talk through the upcoming Food & Wine Festival, and chat about drinking your way through Epcot and California Adventure.
Last week, Explorer Mel visited Jamestowne Fort, home of Pocahontas and the site of her marriage to John Rolfe. Mel got to see the real-life home of a Disney heroine, and managed to limit herself to only one rendition of Colors of the Wind!
We are back after a 2-week summer hiatus, and we are jumping right into the swing of things!
This week we discuss the Frozen influence on the Norway Pavilion in Epcot (including tasty desserts), swap cast member stories, and take a look at some new restaurants in Disney Springs.
When the Explorers aren’t podcasting, we still talk Disney all the time. We tweet about non-Disney stuff too, but the magic is never far from our minds.
Earn your Twitter badge by following the Dis-Explorers on Twitter. We love to chat with fellow Disney fans and share our love of the mouse. After all, Twitter is how we met each other!
Never let it be said that DisExplorers are one dimensional fans. Our fandom knows no bounds, realms or kingdoms. When it comes to DisExplorers Mel & Adrianne, let’s just say they take their roles as Queens of the Geeks quite seriously.
Join Mel and Adrianne as they mix metaphors and cross cannon in ways that just ain’t right. They mix Southernism with South of the Wall-isms all in real time with each new episode of Game of Thrones.
Thanks to Pirate RJ, the DisExplorer Troopers can now earn the Tropical Mixolgy Badge! We have the family-friendly POG Juice and the adults-only pineapple drink inspired by the Lapu Lapu! Cheers.
I am thrilled to announce that I (Mel) will be the new editor of the DCL Prep School planning site. The Prep School family of sites includes WDWPrepSchool and DLRPrepSchool. Later this summer DCLPrepSchool will launch.
Welcome to Minisode 1 of the Dis-Explorers Podcast! When you need a quick Disney fix between podcast episodes, our short minisodes have you covered.
