830 Adventures by Disney Japan Recap: Stories & Highlights - Part 1

Japan is truly unlike anywhere else in the world.

And this week, I want to take you there - not with a guidebook, but through the memories, moments, and magic we experienced together on our recent WDW Radio Adventures by Disney Journey to Japan group trip.

Join me and some of the friends (who are really more like family) from our group as we reflect on our journey through Kyoto, Hiroshima, Takayama, Shirakawa-go, and Tokyo - and how this adventure changed us in ways we never expected.

Well share the beauty, the surprises, and the emotion of this remarkable experience - and explore not just what makes Japan so special, but why Adventures by Disney makes it unforgettable.

And if you weren't able to join us on this trip... dont worry. Stay tuned for the announcement of our next very special WDW Radio adventure. I promise - you wont want to miss it.

828 · Disney’s Abu Dhabi Theme Park: A Whole New World Unveiled

Disney just announced a bold new theme park and resort in Abu Dhabi – and it could change everything. In this episode, we explore the Disney Abu Dhabi theme park announcement from every angle – cultural, creative, and corporate. We also have a thoughtful conversation about some of the questions and concerns this move has raised. Discover why Disney chose Abu Dhabi, what the “authentically Disney, distinctly Emirati” vision means, and how this expansion could shape the future of Imagineering, Disney’s global parks, and Bob Iger’s legacy.

827 · Build Your Star Wars Movie Memorabilia Museum

The ultimate Star Wars collector’s wish list - no budget, no limits, just dreams!

This week, in honor of May the 4th, we’re heading to a galaxy far, far away… and diving into a fun, nerdy, and personal conversation, as we explore a galaxy of imagination and nostalgia and build our "Star Wars Movie Memorabilia Museum."

We’re not talking about toys or collectibles from the parks - we’re talking about the actual props, costumes, and iconic items from the Star Wars movies that we wish we could own. The ones that captured our imaginations, sparked our fandom, and still make us feel like kids again.

But this isn’t just about stuff. It’s about stories. About why these things matter - to me, and to you. Because Star Wars isn’t just a series of films. It’s part of our lives. Our memories. Our connections with the people we share them with.

So in this episode, I invite you to imagine your own dream Star Wars memorabilia museum… and come with us as we build ours.

Whether you're a lifelong fan or discovering Star Wars for the first time, this is a celebration of the stories, symbols, and stuff that connect us… from a galaxy far, far away.


🙋🏻‍♀️ What's the one piece of Star Wars movie memorabilia that you would want in YOUR museum collection?
