Grim Grinning Guys: Disney World (WDW) & Other Travel Planning

Ep. 178: We are joined by I Am Geek Podcast

Truly a milestone.  Today we are joined by the gentlemen of I am Geek Podcast.  We dive into our Mount Rushmore of Disney animated movies.  Listen in as we may have to replace Craig for the voice over work for the show.  

Thanks to Chris, Chris and Ryan for joining us.  You can find them on Twitter @IAMGeekShow and their website is http://iamgeekshow.weebly.com

It was fun having them on the show and we hope you all enjoy.  Have a great weekend.

Ep. 177: Cruise Control with Hatbox Haint, aka Listener Bill.

What is cruise?  For this milestone episode we have invited our good friend Hatbox Haint, or Bill, back to the graveyard to share experiences on two different cruise lines.  One a Disney cruise and the other a Carnival.  He shares mostly good things about the two lines, much to Derek's dismay.  We hope you enjoy Bill's recount of his trips on the Disney Dream and Carnival Horizon.

Make sure you share us with your friends as we hope to grow in 2020.  See you Thursday for a special milestone episode.

Ep. 176: GGG Disney Resolutions

On today's episode we quickly give our Disney resolutions for the upcoming year.  We thank you all for listening and interacting with us over 2019.  GGG wishes you all an amazing 2020 and hope you'll continue to listen to what is sure to be a wild year.

Ep. 175: A Disney Christmas BATTLE ROYALE

Ring the bell!  There's no better way to conclude the holiday season than with a good old fashioned "slugfest," and in today's episode we do just that!  What is the ultimate Christmas offering at Walt Disney World?  That's the question we answer in our own unique way, and as always we encourage you to join in on the melee.  Thanks for listening, and we hope you had a very merry Christmas!

Ep. 174: A Trip(s) to Remember

Nostalgia is a funny thing.  It can warm the heart and water the eyes.  This time of year, more than any other, is when we tend to reflect and remember times past.  The GGG are no different.  Today we reminisce some of our favorite trips.  Share your favorite trips, and why, with us on FaceBook, Twitter or email, grimgrinningguys@gmail.com.  We'll get your memories on to an upcoming show. 

GGG wishes you all a merry Christmas!

Ep. 172: Listener Brian's Summer 2018 RTR! Pt 1

Happy Thursday, happy haunts!  Today we are joined in the graveyard by listener Brian as he shares his summer 2018 RTR with us.  This is the first half of his family's trip, and yes cotton headed ninny muggins is mentioned.  And it was not directed towards the three of us.  Amazing.  Have a great weekend and come back Monday for the conclusion of Brian's RTR.

Ep. 171: Like, Love & Loathe--Contemporary Resort

Hello again everyone!  Today we discuss what we like/love/loathe about Disney's Contemporary Resort.  What would we improve if we could?  Why is it worth staying there?  Listen in to find out!  And we also ask the question, "Whatcha Plussin'?"  Thanks for listening, and hurry ba-aaack!

Ep. 170: Planning a No Ride Day at EPCOT

Hello, Haunts.  It's another great Monday!  We are looking at EPCOT today to see if we can plan a day without riding any rides.  Are we able to make a day of it with littles, bigs and no kids?  What do you say would be the hardest to handle on a ride free day?  

Make sure to give us a follow on Podbean, FaceBook, Twitter and Instagram.  We love to hear from you!  If you have a show idea, want to share an RTR or just give us a hard time, reach out to us on social media or email us at grimgrinningguys@gmail.com

Have a great week! 

Ep. 169: Thanks-Dis-ving Vol. 3

Like a family meal and football, THANKS-DIS-VING returns as an annual holiday tradition!  Do you have the family gathered 'round the dinner table?  You'll want to, as GGG shares what they are thankful for at Walt Disney World.  AND, they also are handing out their most prestigious "award," the Cranberry Sauce Can of Honor.  Which gone-by-the-wayside thing at WDW will receive the consolation prize this year?  We hope you enjoy today's nonsensical show!

In all seriousness, we hope you and your families have a wonderful Thanksgiving on this special day!

Happy holidays everyone!  In today's show Craig finishes his recap of his most recent weekend getaway to WDW.  What did his family think of Toy Story Land, Galaxys Edge, and Pandora?  What made the trip memorable?  How deeply does Craig's disdain for Disney transportation run?  Find out today!

The cattle prodder is back once again!  In today's show Clint walks us through Day 3 and 4 of his family's Fall Break adventure.  Will they ever stop to rest?  What type of dining experiences will the Rochelles enjoy?  Will southern accents intensify?  Will Craig pronounce "Jack Sparrow?"  You'll have to listen to find out! 

Make sure you come back Thursday to find out how the trip ends!  Thanks for listening, following, and supporting the show.  See you Thursday!  

Ep. 164: RTR Return of the Cattle Proder, Prodder? Clint is back!

GGG welcomes back graveyard alum, Clint, to share his fall break RTR with you.  He'll also provide solid parenting advice and impress us all with the amount of ground his family covers in this part 1 of his RTR. We ask that you listen carefully to the show to discover what word sounds like another word in the south.  Hint: It comes from our guest.

Thanks for listening and be sure to share!

Ep. 163: Boo to YOU! BATTLE ROYALE Edition

Happy Halloween from the Grim Grinning Guys!  On this spooky evening, we share with you our thoughts on what the SCARIEST rides are at Walt Disney World.  AND, we do so using the popular "Battle Royale" format.  Which rides are truly frightening?  Which ones are overlooked?  Will a waterpark ride be crowned champion (you can probably guess the answer)?  Listen in to find out, and share with us some of your scary experiences at WDW.  

*DISCLAIMER: Craig's "laugh" is pretty terrifying, so only listen if you dare!

Ep. 162: RTR--James and the Giant Dining Plan

It's another listener RTR!  This fine Monday we are joined by listener James as he shares some of his hits and misses from his recent trip to WDW.

Ep. 161: Like, Love & Loathe--World Showcase

Hello again, happy haunts!  Today we return to one of our favorite recurring shows, "Like, Love & Loathe."  This time we're discussing one of our favorite theme park "lands," World Showcase in Epcot.  What are some things the guys enjoy there?  What do they absolutely love?  What would they change if they had any power whatsoever?  Listen in to what's sure to "stir up" some controversy, and the Grim Grinning Guys take you around the world (sort of)!

What do you like/love/loathe about World Showcase?  Let us know!  And as always, thanks for listening and supporting the show!

Ep. 160: Disney Parks Password, 6th ed.

Your alternating Thursday would not be complete without some foolishness from GGG.  It's time for another game of Password!  This one may be the most difficult yet.  Derek does not hold back on trying to get Craig and Matt to use their grey cells.  Will there be a concession this time?  Listen in as we have fun at each other's expense.  Have a great weekend!  Hope to see you back Monday.

Ep. 159: DVC Renting--What You Need to Know

Welcome to the closest you'll ever be to an actual "DVC Renter's Lounge."  We receive a lot of questions about renting DVC points, and in today's show we try to provide our listeners with some solid advice for how to go about scoring these great discounts on deluxe Disney accommodations.  We think you'll find today's episode informative and entertaining.  As always, be sure to hurry ba-aaaack!
