    WDW Monorail Resorts Ranked (Controversially)

    WDW Monorail Resorts Ranked (Controversially)

    Walt Disney World Monorail Resorts are iconic and among the most popular resorts on Disney property. Every guest who has ever ridden the monorail or taken a ferry across the Seven Seas Lagoon has seen them, many have stayed in them and for many they are a bucket list hotel. On this week's podcast we review the three monorail resorts, The Contemporary, The Polynesian Village Resort and of course, The Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. 
    Do you agree with our rankings? Do you want to tell us how stupid we are? Share your thoughts over on our podcast community group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/escapepodcast or by sending us an email at escape.atp@gmail.com.

LOVE THIS PODCAST

This podcast never fails to deliver GREAT material! I love listening to them when I run and it makes exercising just so much better!

The D-Trians ,

Just A Disney Pod

Traveling to Hawaii for a second time and looking for anything I may have missed the first time. This podcast had a long list of episodes about travel there. Unfortunately, none of them are actually helpful beyond telling you what you would already gather from a basic internet search. Instead of doing a deeper dive into lesser known things, they waste a ton of time relating Hawaii to Disney things. One example was they were comparing different Hawaiian islands that would interest someone who liked different Disney resorts. Not a great option for anyone looking to travel outside of Disney, it seems.

Great tips to plan a trip or just a fun escape

I came across this podcast while looking for tips for my trip to the Big Island and Kauai. Since then I’ve come to enjoy “hanging out” with the four hosts each week. The travel tips tend to be about Disney/Universal, Mexico/Caribbean all-inclusives, or Hawaii. Even though I don’t have any plans to travel to Disney World any time soon, I love the Disney episodes and the tips will be very helpful when planning a trip sometime in the future. It would be great if the podcast had an email or some way for listeners to write in with questions that isn’t through Facebook.
