    Today we follow the monorail line to our resort in our resort series, Disney's Contemporary Resort - a Walt Disney World opening day resort.

    Ep. 117 - Fantasy Draft: We Build Our Ultimate Disney World Theme Park Snake-Draft Style

    Ep. 117 - Fantasy Draft: We Build Our Ultimate Disney World Theme Park Snake-Draft Style

    With draft season upon us, we decided to throw a little draft party of our own and create the ultimate Disney park using elements from the parks. If you could choose a park icon to build your theme park around what would you choose? Would you go with the classic Castle? Or would you opt for the lighting spectacular (and ride) of Spaceship Earth? It's time to break out your big boards.
    Find out what we chose on this episode - may the best team (or theme park) win!

Refreshing!

As a guy, I love Disney. I also love that I can relate to the guys on this podcast.
You guys have me laughing out loud with much of your content.
Your food and drink choices have been stellar and spot on!
Keep up the great work guys!

Bravo Guys!

Wow! You guys bring it every episode. Between the comradery and the straightforwardness, it’s such a refreshing change from other WDW podcasts. You are laid-back yet enthusiastic. I look forward to getting a new episode each week; most of the time listening while driving to Disney for a fun weekend and to try one or more of the food/drink suggestions from you guys. Thanks for being relatable! A happy listener.

MissyLloyd ,

Great Advice and Insight!

These guys do such a great job of talking about the adult perspective. They share different tips and tricks for food, hotels both on and off property, their experiences with the different festivals and special holiday parties, new rides, etc. It’s refreshing to hear other people who share the same thoughts, and of course it’s great to hear how much they truly enjoy Disney. I love listening to the history they share together on their previous trips as kids themselves and now their trips with their families. Great job guys!
