Today's show idea comes from Tyler who calls Rome, GA, his home! Listen in as we discuss our thoughts on how to plan the best 3-day/2-night trip to Walt Disney World. Where should you stay? How should you spend your time? What's the best use of your money for such a short vacation? We try to help answer these questions and more in our first on location episode (a special thanks to the folks at the Muddy Duck Coffee House in downtown Centerville, TN!).
If you have a show idea you'd like to hear us do an episode over, please feel free to email us or contact us via one of our social media sites. We are here to help (and entertain) YOU the listener!

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!

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!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....oh, sorry foolish mortals! We had fallen asleep for just a moment. Sometimes traveling to Walt Disney World doesn't feel much like a vacation, and it's hard to find time to rest. Walking thousands of steps a day can take it's toll on anyone, so what are we to do if we need to grab a little "shut eye" if we don't want to leave the parks? In today's special "bonus" episode, we offer up some of our favorite places to sleep/relax in the WDW theme parks. When listening, hopefully you can stay awake better than we did!

There is a fixed number of hours on any vacation you take, but those hours can be even more important when traveling to Walt Disney World. While there, we're all faced with the question: "How long am I willing to wait for this?" Today we have a little fun with this question, and, as usual, allow our imaginations to wonder along the way. (SPOILER: Derek isn't willing to wait very long).
Be sure to share how long YOU would wait for some of the things we discuss by visiting our social media pages. As always, hurry ba-aaack!

Today we hop back on the "Carousel of Process" to help you decide where you should use your three FastPass+ selections in the most popular theme park on the planet. As usual, we each approach it with a certain family demographic (no kids, little kids, big kids) so that it may assist as many of you as possible. And be sure to stick around for "Grim Grinning Greatness" as Craig asks a question which allows us to dream BIG. Thanks as always for listening happy haunts--we appreciate each and every one of you!
