    Keep, Replace, or Refurb? Disney World Holiday Edition!

    🎄🎃 If you could only KEEP one Disney holiday tradition... which would it be? This week, we're making some impossible decisions as we play Keep, Replace, Refurb: Holiday Edition! The holidays are one of the most magical times to visit Walt Disney World, but not every seasonal offering is created equal. This week on Rope Drop Radio, Doug and Lauren go head-to-head as they decide which Disney holiday experiences deserve to stay exactly as they are, which could use a refresh, and which they'd replace altogether. From Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party to the Candlelight Processional, Jingle Cruise, holiday fireworks, resort gingerbread displays, and more, no seasonal favorite is safe! Before the debate begins, we also announce details for our upcoming Rope Drop Radio Fall Trip and Spring Time Surprise 2027 group trip!
