Monday May 14, 2018
Monday May 14, 2018
Time to step out of our comfort zone! We know what you're thinking: "There's something to do in Orlando other than going to Disney World?" It's hard to believe, but YES, there are endless opportunities to explore! For our 48th episode we decided to discuss where we would go and what we would do in Orlando if we were forced to stay outside of the "Disney" bubble. We know there are plenty of families out there who may want to explore Orlando beyond the Disney parks. If you fit that description then this episode is for you! Listen in as we discuss theme parks, dining, ballgames and more to enjoy in Central Florida.

In fact, our very own Derek is currently planning one for his family (with only 2 weeks of prep time!).

Listen in to today's episode as we offer some advice for preparing for a trip in a small time frame. Thank you for listening, and always, hurry ba-aaack!

Thursday Mar 22, 2018
Thursday Mar 22, 2018
You've NEVER heard a Disney podcast like this one!
The year is 2050. The Disney Parks have changed a great deal. Is a classic Adventureland attraction still around? Is the Monorail still in operation? Have any new theme parks been added to Walt Disney World? Is it "to be, or not to be?" That is the question! Join us today as we speculate on what will still be around and travel to the "future" to get some answers to these questions.
Thanks to all of our loyal listeners for tuning in to today's "bonus" episode. As always, hurry ba-aaack!

Ep. 35: Your BEST Hollywood Studios FastPass+ Selections
Monday Mar 12, 2018
Monday Mar 12, 2018
Here we are for another "milestone" episode, and once again we are seeking to help you book the very best FastPasses for you at your family. Today we take a look at Disney's Hollywood Studios (or what's left of it) and determine which FastPasses are worth it and which of them are just a waste. We also speculate on what's to come with Toy Story Land and how that may potentially change the FastPass+ landscape at DHS.
*Be sure to stick around to the very end if you want to hear some ridiculous bloopers and have a good chuckle!
