The Main Street Telegraph: Recent Episodes
B Wreyn
Happy New Year! The Main Street Telegraph is back with some fresh stories. See what Bob Iger revealed in his recent Barron’s interview, how Disney+ is doing, ticket price increases at Disneyland, and, of course, what #avengers4alexander is all about.
It's a big episode today! Winnie the Pooh might be getting the boot from the Shanghai park, Disneyland Paris offices are being raided, beignet cheese burgers, The Lion King is breaking records ALREADY, and don't forget the Millennium Falcon strollers! It's time for the first December episode of MST!
Is Fox’s streaming service deal with MBC going to conflict with the upcoming Disney+?
B shares details about the upcoming Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway rail attraction, upcoming Disneyland After Dark events, automated cameras at photopass locations, and guest exposure to hepatitis A in Disney World.
Then it’s another holiday segment! Learn fun facts and details about Disneyland’s Holiday parade and fire works show, as well as the It’s a Small World Holiday overlay!

Hello again! It’s time for another episode of MST! It’s all about Disney+ and Candy canes this week! And if you missed the Disney blog’s live stream of A Frozen Holiday Wish at Walt Disney World, catch it here, or you can view it as www.mainstreettelegraph.com
Hi all, I hope you enjoy today’s episode, and the slight sprinkling of holiday magic! I know you all were expecting the one last Halloween episode that I had promised. Due to personal circumstances, I was unable to release it on Halloween. But, I thought, heck, I’ll record it on the weekend and get it out to you all on Sunday! Unfortunately, the tech gods had other plans, and my editing software essentially ate the episode, after it had been recorded, and edited. I have decided that the episode will not be released this year, as the seasons are changing, and I have limited time. Thank you for your understanding!

Hear me use made up words (incedences? cringe), as I report on a guest being banned from Shanghai Disney, give advice on avoiding crowds, spend way too much time discussing the Pirates of the Caribbean films, Anaheim/Disney election politics, new character dining in Disneyland Paris, and some bonus Nightmare Before Christmas trivia!
Bonus points if you can catch the random accent I develop at the end of the episode…I swear I was born in California!
Learn about Halloween celebrations in the Hong Kong Disney park!
I do recommend going back and listening to the episode on Shanghai Disney before diving into this one, as this one builds upon previous.
I really missed an opportunity here! I should have released this episode yesterday, on the 18th!
This week’s episode is around 10 minutes. I cover Disney/Fox speculations, Walt Disney World price increases, Florida Elections, Coronado Springs, Ride Closures, the fate of Downtown Disney, and more!
Disney has finally released a teaser trailer for the live action Aladdin remake, slated for release on May 24, 2019. It doesn’t give away much, but it does give us a good idea of how AMAZING it is going to look! Seeing the initial posters and trailers for these live action remakes are a lot of fun, because often they recreate images from the originals.The original, animated film, was released in 1992. Check out the poster and trailer below!
Travel to Shanghai, China to learn about one of their cultural observances, and explore the Halloween offerings at their Disney park!
This week’s covers a lot of content! There’s Downtown Disney Construction, Aladdin, the Fox acquisition, sustainability, lawsuits, and more!
I wonder if 11 stories in 12 minutes is my record? I haven’t been keeping track!
This special episode dives into how Disneyland Paris goes about recognizing the holiday, and how it fits into the culture in France.
This week we cover new tech developed by Disney Research, CEO Bob Iger, Thanksgiving (plus, me butchering a lot of restaurant names), how Disney buying Fox will effect the Marvel universe, and Downtown Disney renos.
Don’t forget to check out all the extra episodes that will be released this month in honor of Halloween!

This week, your host, B, talks about the removal of seating, as well as the addition of other seating and stroller parking. I also dig into Mary Poppins Returns, and go into other upcoming releases, up to 2021.
Come join me!
On this week’s news briefing, I make some changes to the weekly trivia question, we give some updates on the ongoing situations regarding the 20th Century Fox deal, as well as the upcoming elections in Anaheim, and consequences from Typhoon Mankhut and Hurricane Florence.
Then it’s all VR, food, EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival, Eat to the Beat, and some Halloween offerings in Walt Disney World.
It’s time for another Instagram round up! If you’re planning a trip to the parks, Instagram is a great resource to figure out what will be available to you when you get there. And for those of us not going - it certainly adds to the day dreams!
Now, let’s take a walk.

The Main Street Pumpkin Festival is an iconic part of the Halloween celebrations at Disneyland.
I was "Un Poco Loco" when I finally saw they had the Coco jarrito mug! ❤️❤️❤️ . . I found this one at Rancho Del Zocalo in Disneyland but it can also be found at Cocina Cucamonga in DCA! It's $12.99 before AP discount! ❤️

While Disneyland has dedicated a part of the park to Día de los Muertos for a couple of years now, the hit animated feature, Coco, has really brought it to the forefront. This year they have added a lot of experiences over at California Adventure, at the Plaza de la Familia. You can find this piece of merchandise at both parks!

The Red Rose Tavern is one of my favorite places to stop for something delicious. The calories don’t count when you’re at Disneyland, right?

When your ears match your churro! 🧡💛 Candy Corn Churros Cane can be found at the Frontierland Churro Cart. It is an orange sugar churro with candy corn marshmallow dipping sauce. I like the churro, even though I am admittedly not a candy corn fan. I would for sure grab another Candy Corn churro during Halloween Time. 🎃 . . @disneyland #HalloweenTime #disneyhalloween #disneylandhalloween #halloweenatdisneyland #disneytreats #disneysnacks #halloweentreats #churros #candycorn #minniestyle #minnieears

Look forward to more roundups as the season progresses! We have so many parks to talk about! California Adventure, the Magic Kingdom, and even some overseas parks!
Stay spooky.

Take a walk into the past with me this week, friends, as I celebrate Disneyland's 63rd anniversary!
This week we cover the Disney/Fox deal, Peter Pan Floats, Minnie Ears, WDW Star Wars hotel, some thank yous, and end it all with a little Pirates audio!
Disneyland has sure been churning out some new, and delicious treats this summer! I want to try them all!
The Peter Pan Float has really caught my eye, and you can hear me talk about it on this week's episode of The Main Street Telegraph! This twist on the float starts out with Sprite, topped with a swirl of key lime pie ice cream, and finished off with a red, chocolate feather. Never grow up!
I'm just all about the Key Lime these days... #peterpanfloat #peterpan #disneysnacks #disney #disneyfood #disneyip #disneyprograms #myyummystory #fantasyland

Pixar Fest has brought some delicious new treats to the parks, including this UP themed doughnut! The classic doughnot is topped in vanilla icing. While the disk the image of the house sits on is made from white chocolate, the balloons are delicious milk chocolate candies.

The parks are famous for their very creative candy apples! I usually stick with caramel and nuts, but this over the top creation looks delectable. But I can't help but tear up a bit just looking at it! Oh, Bing Bong!
Omg!! ❤️ 😋 The Bing Bong Apple!!

~~Abominable~~ Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats is one of the recent additions to California Adventure over at Pixar Pier, and has been extremely popular, with hour long line waits. You KNOW it HAS to be good! They definitely LOOK good!

I spy some very patriotic rice crispy treats! And another Pixar themed candy apple!
@disneyland comes up with and has the most cutest desserts ever! I think I could spend a whole day just taking pictures of all the creative foods they have! I tried out the Mickey 4th of July inspired Rice Krispies treat (see a few posts back). Throughout this last trip each one of us sampled and tried out food/desserts that the other had. I love how food can make people go Ooooo and Ahhhh!! Hope your Monday is off to a great start. ❤️

I can't decide if browsing Instagram helps my Disneyland FOMO or not! But I know I'm craving something sweet now!
