Hello, happy haunts! In today's show Ryan from Ohio stumbles into the graveyard to tell us about his trip to Walt Disney World just a few weeks ago. He and his family of 9 enjoyed a week at the Boardwalk DVC villas and a splendid time at the "most magical place on earth." Listen to Part I today as he shares with us the struggles of getting to WDW, fun days at Epcot and Magic Kingdom, and a "break day" halfway through the trip. You'll feel like you're there!
Be sure to come back next Monday for the exciting conclusion! And as always, hurry ba-aaack!

Get your decoder ring ready. It's back after nearly 80 episodes. The "sip" is as ludicrous as the last time. This time we take our time and discuss the rumors that are not really rumors to anyone. Thanks for listening. Please continue to share and let us know what you want to hear next.

Listen in to hear the recap of Day 4 (Hollywood Studios), Day 5 (more Magic Kingdom), and the "infamous" Day 6 (with some hiccups at Animal Kingdom). Which days were the most productive? What meals stood out? How did Disney correct what was wrong with extra MAGIC hours? Stream or download to find out!

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!
What do YOU do when the weather turns foul at Walt Disney World? Let us know!

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. How often do you find Walt Disney World overlapping into your "real world" life? What lessons have you learned from WDW that help you when traveling elsewhere? What makes you appreciate the customer service you receive in the happiest place on earth? In today's episode, Matt and Craig discuss their recent trip to the Northeast and explain ways in which Disney planning helped them (or hurt them) along the way.

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!

After last week's discussion on the two Disney water parks, what other choice did we have but than to talk about Disney Springs this week? You'll have a hard time guessing how this is going to go. Will Matt ever give the Springs a chance? Let's hope not because it is a lot more fun that way.

Find out today as we take you (virtually, of course) to Walt Disney World!
