Planning a Disney day in the Florida heat and unpredictable rain? ☔️ ☀️

We’ve got you covered—literally! In this episode, we’re sharing our tried-and-true tips for staying cool, dry, and stress-free no matter what Mother Nature throws at you in the parks. From must-have gear like water bottles on carabiners, neck fans, and cooling towels to smart hacks like planning AC breaks and using your dining reservations to your advantage, we’ll help you beat the heat without burning out. 🔥

Plus, we talk through how to handle those sudden Florida downpours—think ponchos, shoe covers, stroller shields, and where to duck for cover fast. We’ll also go over how to build a smart touring plan to minimize time in outdoor queues (looking at you, Slinky Dog Dash!) and how weather might affect your transportation and ride plans. 💦 ⛅️🕶️

Whether you’re meeting Moana, braving the inferno that is Andy's Backyard or trying to time your princess meet and greets just right, this episode will help you stay cool, dry, and Disney-ready! 💫

🍴👯‍♀️🫧 Forks, Friends & Fairy Godmothers, oh my!

🍦🍨 On this depute episode of BB Besties Dining Reviews, we cover Beaches & Cream, which we both went to for the first time on our May 2025 Besties Trip to Walt Disney World. Beaches & Cream is nestled into the Beach Club Resort and had a mix of diner vibes plus stepping right off the boardwalk in a beach town!

Beach Club Resort Mentions:

• It looks like the Beach Club Resort is still undergoing refurbishment at this time. The website (linked above) has a indication noting "This Resort hotel is undergoing refurbishments - See Details." When clicking on those details, it notes the routine exterior maintenance will be from early June through September 2025. If you are staying at the Beach Club (or want to) during that time frame, we definitely recommend calling to see if that will be a deterrent for you!
• It appears that Stormalong Bay may now be back open.

General Mentions:

• We recommend Googling the Beaches & Cream Walk-up Window and/or asking at the Beach Club for their insight!
• "Cotty Eps" - should out to Corey & Brianna at the Magic at Home Podcast and Brianna's YouTube Channel
• Tini's Mac and Cheese Recipe - here, posted by another creator, but you can find Tini's Original on her TiKTok Page!

🫧🐭 In this debut episode of Banter with your Besties on the Bibbidi Bobbidi Besties Pod, we’re spilling the tea (ahem, Coca Cola Zero, and served in our favorite Disney mugs, of course) on Disney Deep Dives in the first round of our Q&A generated by ChatGPT.

✨⚡️ Expect laughs, chaotic tangents, totally unnecessary (or maybe quite necessary) debates about Disney, podding together and being besties.

🏰💫 Whether you’re a Magic Kingdom regular or just here for the laughs, you’re officially part of our royal inner circle. So grab your Mickey ears and settle in for some unfiltered, unmagical, unapologetically bestie banter!

👑✨ Let the bibbidi bobbidi bonding begin!

🎤🎧 Disclaimer: Apologies for the mic background noise in some areas of the podcast. We were chatting while holding our mics and they were a bit unsteady. Thanks for hanging in there with us!
