What do Disney trash cans and a fear of flying have in common? Apparently, enough for an entire episode. 😂

This week I’m joined by my friend Susie, a pilot and frequent traveler, for a conversation that somehow takes us from the tiny details that make Disney parks so memorable — yes, including those surprisingly iconic trash cans — all the way to flying, travel, and what it’s really like to be on the other side of the cockpit door.

Susie answers some of my questions about flying and the things that can make nervous flyers uneasy, shares a pilot’s perspective on air travel and safety, and gives us some travel wisdom from someone who spends a whole lot of time in airports and airplanes. And, as usual, we find a few tangents along the way.

If you love Disney details, travel, or you’ve ever gripped an airplane armrest a little tighter than you’d like to admit, this one’s for you.

✈️ In this episode: Disney details & theming • those famous Disney trash cans • fear of flying • a pilot’s perspective • air travel & safety • travel tips

I’m back at Oogie Boogie Bash for 2026 — and I have thoughts! 🎃😈

In this episode of Queen of Parks, I’m sharing my full review of this year’s Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure, along with the things I think you need to know before you go.

We’re talking about the Disney Villains and treat trails, Villains Grove, the Headless Horseman, Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake Parade, costumes, crowds, ride wait times, and just how FAST those five party hours go.

I also share some tips for making the most of your night, what I think is worth prioritizing, and what you can realistically fit into those five official party hours.

And before the party even begins, we’re heading to Din Tai Fung at Downtown Disney! I’ll share our experience, what we ordered, and whether I think it’s a good choice for your Disneyland day. 🥟✨

I’ll also compare Oogie Boogie Bash with Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World — including how the two parties feel, what each one does best, and which experience I personally prefer. 🎃🏰

If you’re heading to Oogie Boogie Bash in 2026, trying to decide whether it’s worth the ticket price, or just want to know what to expect — pull up a chair! We’re getting into all of it. 🎃✨
