081: Trip Recap and Overview of Festival of the Arts, Dolphin Resort, Hollywood Studios and The Super Bowl Parade
On this episode of the Well Hello Magic podcast, I talk about my content trip with Disney bestie Kris from @happilyeverparkhoppers for a full trip recap filled with all the magic, fun, and surprises from our latest visit. We dive deep into our experience at EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts, where we explored stunning visual displays, indulged in some of the best festival-exclusive eats, and even had the chance to meet Disney artist Dom Corona. His work perfectly captures the spirit of Disney, and getting to chat with him about his creative process was such a highlight!
Beyond EPCOT, we break down our stay at the Dolphin Resort, sharing what we loved (and what we didn’t) about its location, amenities, and whether it’s truly the hidden gem of Disney resorts. Then, it’s all about Hollywood Studios, where we strategized our day using Lightning Lane to maximize rides, shows, and character interactions. We’re sharing tips on how to navigate the park efficiently, from snagging the best reservations to making the most of every moment.
And, of course, we couldn’t miss one of the most exciting moments of the trip—the Super Bowl Parade! With Jalen Hurts named Super Bowl MVP, the energy in the park was absolutely electric. Seeing the MVP make his way down Main Street, U.S.A. in that iconic Disney parade is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we’re breaking down every incredible moment. Whether you're planning a trip soon or just love staying up-to-date on the latest Disney happenings, this episode is packed with insider tips, laughter, and plenty of Disney magic!
