It's time for another Recent-Trip-Rundown, a favorite segment of our listeners! Matt just returned from his family's trip to "the World," and it was a fun-filled week with the Jenkins family (a family on their first trip to WDW). Today he'll "run down" the first half of his trip, sharing thoughts on his arrival day (Day 1), Epcot (Day 2), and Magic Kingdom (Day 3). How did everything go? What did the "first-timers" think of it all? How many FastPasses did they use? What were the dining highlights? You'll have to listen to find out! And be sure to come back Thursday as he winds up another trip in Part II!

News flash: it rains quite a bit in Orlando, FL. When you're at WDW, there's a good chance you're going to run into some rain showers, and when that happens what should you do? Where should you go? In today's show we try to help you come up with some ideas for making the most out of a rainy day at the "most magical place on earth." We go through each park, the resorts, and yes, even Disney Springs, to offer places to go when the water starts to pour. We hope you enjoy and benefit from our friendly discussion!

Hello, happy haunts! We hope your week is off to a great start, and we hope we can help make it a little better with today's podcast.

SPOILER ALERT! This episode is another "first" for Triple G, as we attempt to roundtable movie review. We felt there was no better time to try this than with the cinematic event that is Avengers: Endgame. While we are no experts on superhero movies (or anything, for that matter), we did want to share our thoughts on what has become Disney's highest grossing film of all-time. What did we like? What did we not like? Did it actually impress Derek? Listen in to find out this and more as the Grim Grinning Guys "assemble" to debate this once-in-a-lifetime film!
What did you think about Endgame? Let us know in the comments or on social media!
