    Ep. 589 - WDW Fan Zone Show - Agree, Disagree, or On the Fence for Recent Walt Disney World Changes

    In our show this week, we discuss recent happenings in Walt Disney World and each share whether we agree with the change, disagree, or on the fence. We’ll discuss the nature of the change before we weigh in. Topics on which we’ll take a stance are the Carousel of Progress, Disney Springs buses and transportation, the Gingerbread House at the Grand Floridian, and the crackdown on re-selling DVC rentals. Where do you stand on these changes?

    Ep. 588 - WDW Fan Zone Show - Disney Properties We’d Like To See As Lands (or Hotels)

    The Disney Company has a wealth of character-led properties from over 100 years of telling stories in its movies and its parks. Combined with acquisitions including LucasFilm, Pixar, Marvel, and Fox, they’ve expanded that wealth even more. They’ve expanded parks in the past several years around the world with lands for Star Wars, Toy Story, Pandora, Frozen, Cars, and Zootopia. This week, we share some of our ideas for a new land in Walt Disney World, which park, and maybe some ideas for theming, attractions, entertainment, and shopping. We might also throw ideas out for properties we’d like to see as a new Walt Disney World Hotel.

    Ep. 587 - WDW Fan Zone Show - Comparing Things To Do at the 4 Walt DIsney World Parks

    Although there are 4 different theme parks at Walt Disney World, they don’t necessarily have the same things to offer. This week, we dig into the differences in number and type of rides, shows, character experiences, entertainment, shopping, dining, and more. We will talk about how long we typically stay at each of the parks, the perception of crowd size, attendance, and other impressions. With the current plans for expansions and updates, we’ll also discuss which parks we think might be lacking in overall experience compared to ticket prices, Lightning Lane prices, wait times, and our recommendations for touring.

    Fresh off his early June trip to Walt Disney World, Kurt lets us know what new/refurbished experiences he tried and what he thought of them (without giving too much away). He shares perceptions on Rock n Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Zootopoia Better Zoogether, Smugglers Run, and more. He also also gives us a report on crowds and construction and if he had anything good to eat! Hopefully, his report can help us guests who have upcoming summer trips.
