We’re diving headfirst into another round of our Main Street Magic Mailbag: Listener Q&A — one of our favorite series because we truly never know what questions are coming. They’re funny, thoughtful, surprising, and sometimes just delightfully odd… which makes them perfect.
We kick things off with a question about the biggest Disney purchase we regret.We break down the decisions we would absolutely not make again. Next up, we get hit with a brutal “Would you rather?” dilemma: Would you rather never try new Disney foods and drinks again, or never try new attractions? It’s the kind of question that makes you choose between your taste buds and your thrill-seeking heart. We also chat about how we’d redesign an attraction queue to make it more interactive, and we come up with a few ideas that would turn waiting in line into part of the fun.
From there, the holiday spirit sneaks in with a whimsical question about which job we’d choose if we worked in Santa’s workshop. Would we be toymakers, bakers, reindeer wranglers, or something even more chaotic? We break down the roles that fit us and the roles that would absolutely backfire.
We also explore what it would be like to spend Christmas in a Disney movie universe. With so many magical worlds to choose from — animated, live-action, wintery, colorful — we debate where we’d want to celebrate the season.
Then, a big one: What must-do experiences should first-time visitors, especially kids around 8 and 11, absolutely not miss? We cover attractions, shows, character moments, and little magical touches that make a first visit unforgettable. We also squeeze in a mini conversation about iconic Disney shirts and how quickly they become conversation starters.
Next, we look at the top items still lingering on our Disney bucket list — the experiences we haven’t crossed off yet but can’t wait to someday. Finally, we wrap things up with a delicious question: What type of new food booth would we add to EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival? We dream up flavors, themes, and creative menu ideas we’d love to see join the festival lineup.
It’s a fun, lively, listener-fueled episode filled with Disney talk, holiday vibes, park tips, food dreams, and plenty of laughs. Grab your headphones and enjoy another round of Main Street Magic Mailbag!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
