222: Destination:North Mountain

Yoo-hoo! Come on in, the magic is fine! Welcome to the show notes for our latest episode, which is so packed we almost had to use a virtual queue. Better buckle up and pull on the yellow tab!

We're kicking things off by addressing the elephant in the room—or should we say, the fort in the frontier? Let's just say a certain co-host had some… thoughts… on last week's creative direction. Truce has (mostly) been declared.

Then, we're tumbling down the rabbit hole of news from the Destination D23 event. We're talking news for the future of Disney storytelling, both on the big screen and, more importantly for us, in the parks. We break down the biggest headlines and what they actually mean for your future trips to Disneyland Paris. Let's just say Spring 2026 is looking….frosty.

We also play fairy godmother to a wonderful listener facing a classic DLP dilemma: superhero chic or royal club-level treatment? We break it down with the seriousness it deserves, breaking down the pros, cons, and giving our final verdict

Plus, we've got the lowdown on what's open, what's closed, and what's probably cursed. And we share a story so lovely it'll give you the same happy chills as a drinking a giant yummy milkshake at Victoria's.

Grab your (Mickey) earphones and press play! It's a good one.

In This Episode:

• The Great Fort Comstock Debate is settled (for now).

• We react to the news from Destination D23.

• Helping a listener choose between two iconic hotel experiences.

• A truly magical piece of news that reminds us what Disney is all about.

• Your essential closure update for Autumn 2025.

A Quick Note on Our "Frozen" Booking Intel!

Just after we finished recording this episode, a fellow DLP Insidears slid into our DMs with a hot tip: Packages for beyond March 2026 are going to drop on Tuesday, September 10th! Now, we want to be your trusted travel guides, not Mulder and Scully, so we have to say this is not officially confirmed … yet.

And our long, conspiratorial discussion in this episode about seasonal windows might mean our tinfoil hats were on a little too tight!

But this new info comes from a good source, so we're passing it along. If you're planning a 2026 trip, maybe just keep that date in the back of your mind, and we'll all find out the truth together! The truth is out there! (Sorry, we couldn't help ourselves).
