Episode 466: In this week’s episode of Traveling with the Mouse, we sit down with one of our absolute favorite cast members, Jose Barbas, from La Cava del Tequila! Barbas brings his infectious energy and deep passion for his work to the show as we explore what drives him as a cast member. We dive into his love for creating magical moments for guests, his journey at Disney, and why La Cava del Tequila holds such a special place in his heart.

Barbas takes us behind the scenes of La Cava, sharing what sets it apart from the many other lounges and bars around Disney World. Whether you’re a tequila aficionado or someone just dipping your toes into the world of agave spirits, La Cava has something for everyone, and Barbas helps us break down the diverse menu. We go over everything from the perfect beginner’s margarita to rare and premium tequila options for the more adventurous guest. No matter your taste or experience level, you’ll leave knowing more about this not so hidden gem in Epcot’s Mexico Pavilion!

Of course, we also sprinkle in some of our classic Disney news updates. This week, we discuss the big change for Tron Lightcycle Run as it moves away from virtual queue and what that could mean for your future visits. It’s an episode packed with great insights, fun stories, and some essential Disney news.
