    121 - What Should Disney’s New CEO Do on Day One?

    In this episode of Escape to the Magic, we break down the bold first moves we think Disney’s new CEO should make to reshape the company — from simplifying the park experience and restoring guest goodwill, to investing in major attractions and reigniting Disney’s creative spark. Will he double down on the parks? Rebalance the studios? Or redefine what “Disney magic” means in a post-pandemic, post-Genie+ world? We’re diving into the strategy, the risks, and the opportunities — and asking the big question: could D’Amaro be the leader who restores both the magic and the momentum?

    119 - Do Disney World Queues Match the Attraction Vibe??

    Do Disney World queues actually set the right tone for the ride you’re about to experience? In this episode, we dig into the moments when the queue totally nails the attraction’s vibe—and when it wildly misses the mark. From immersive backstories that build hype to wait areas that feel like they belong to a completely different ride, we break down how queues shape expectations, first impressions, and overall enjoyment. Are great queues enhancing the magic… or sometimes overselling what’s on the other side of the load platform? And...vice versa...

    118 - What to Expect on a Disney Cruise! 🚤 🏝️

    In this episode, Dack attempts to convince Ryan to finally take the plunge and book a Disney Cruise. We tackle the most common hesitations about cruising—from feeling stuck on a ship to worries about boredom—and break down what actually sets Disney Cruise Line apart. From rotational dining and Broadway-style shows to private island days and unmatched service, we compare the cruise experience to Walt Disney World and debate whether it might secretly be Disney’s best-kept vacation format. Is a Disney Cruise really worth it for someone who swears by the parks? By the end of the episode, even the skeptics (Ryan) may start to reconsider.
