04/22/24 • 33 min
Buckle up your mouse ears and prepare for a whimsical ride through the world of Disney with our special guests Joe and Marisa, the creative powerhouses behind Joe Critelli Art and Mad Madam Mim Co. In our latest episode, we're whisked into their enchanting realm where artistry meets fandom. Joe's hand-drawn illustrations capture the nostalgia and heart of Disney characters, while Marisa's floral mini ears are a delightful twist on the classic park accessory. The pair reveal the love and magic sewn into every piece, giving fans like you a unique way to keep the Disney spirit alive in and out of the parks.
Earlier in the show, Kris and Vanessa discuss fun activities and experiences along with different areas for kids to play that might sometimes be overlooked during a trip. From the whimsy of Dumbo's play area to the swashbuckling fun of a Pirate's Adventure, we've got your map to the treasures that lie beyond the typical rides and parades. Epcot's not just for the grown-ups either; we're sharing all the child-friendly gems like Kidcot Fun Stops that turn the World Showcase into a cultural playground, and the interactive wonders awaiting at The Seas Pavilion.
We round out our adventure with a heartwarming reflection on Walt Disney's own hand in designing the nostalgic Tom Sawyer Island. There's something special about stepping onto the rafts and crossing over to a place where families can connect just as Walt envisioned. Whether you're reminiscing about past visits or planning your next trip, our conversation will remind you why Disney parks are the canvas for creating those cherished memories. So let's set off together – there's a whole world of Disney waiting for us to explore!
