Geekin' On WDW | Trip Reports From A Community of Disney World Fans Curtis Stone

On episode 568, Matt and Krystle Wooley from the “Married to a Disney Addict” podcast recently joined me for a fun and wide-ranging discussion about all things Disney World.







As self-proclaimed Disney addicts and geeks, Matt and Krystle shared some fantastic insights and tips from their years of Disney experience. A few key highlights:







Planning Tips









* Go with the flow and don’t get too locked into a rigid plan. Leaving flexibility allows you to adjust if things don’t go as expected.







* If it rains, don’t hide in your hotel! Throw on ponchos and take advantage of shorter ride lines while others are hiding.









Eating at DisneyWe had a delightful “fantasy Disney meal” exercise, outlining their ideal progressive dinner around the parks and resorts. Some standout picks were the “Duck Duck Razz” cocktail at The Boathouse, Cali Grill’s oak-fired filet, and the famous s’mores at The Ganachery.







Ride RankingsWhen it came to ranking rides, the new Cosmic Rewind emerged as a clear favorite for Matt, while Krystle preferred classic attractions like The Haunted Mansion and “it’s a small world.” The iconic Dole Whip also got its due as a beloved snack.







Disney TraditionsFrom crying tears of joy upon meeting Figment to having special character traditions like annual reunion photos, it’s clear these two live and breathe all things Disney magic. The Christmas and Halloween parties also ranked high on their list of can’t-miss events.







With their seasoned perspectives, funny banter, and relatable Disney enthusiasm, Matt and Krystle made for delightful guests full of pro tips and heartwarming Disney tales. Be sure to check out their podcast for more adventures from this spirited Disney couple!
