Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party & Our Disney World Couples Trip

We had a great trip to Disney World in February. We learned a few things and we want to share it with you!
We start talking a out who we were touring with (a large group of 7) and the experience we had with that many people. We then discuss having a wheelchair in our group and how some attractions give a return time and others let you go through the queue. Jungle Cruise gave us a time to return to the lightning Lane, among other attractions. 
Mykhailo talks about staying off property and his experience with those accommodations. 
We continue on with celebrating Mardi Gras, our feelings on the current state of Touring Plans and using Genie+ at Hollywood Studios. 
We have some great information for you in this episode!

We've returned from Walt Disney World and we have some fun things to share.  We start with some conversation of the type of trip we had and how everyone fit in. This was a trip originated by Tammy and Bryan with their two daughters and Tammy's mom coming along. With a stay at the Polynesian Resort, Mykhailo and Kristin come along and did their best to pretend they were staying there with us.  We cover some of this dynamic before we get into the excitement of being evacuated from Pirates of the Caribbean!

While in the Magic Kingdom, we were able to get backstage when Pirates went down. It was a great experience and we get into the details of this neat happening. We end up including some of the other troubled ride experiences we had during the trip which leads Bryan and Mykhailo down a rabbit hole about the state of the rides in the parks.

We get into discussing some of the financials around Disney+ and the trouble they had with their movies and how this may be effecting the parks.  A fun conversation that is one of those typical tangents that we like to go on.

We'll get into more of the trip on upcoming episodes, but definitely wanted to talk about Pirates of the Caribbean.

We've been reassessing our podcast and have some announcements to make there!

We're joined this week by Cory and Lawrence from the DizPod - Living in Diz to talk about Disney's International Flower and Garden Festival in Epcot.  Before we get started we hear about what its like to be live streaming on YouTube two to three times a week from the Disney Parks with your family.  Cory is out in the parks with his family and has some great experiences from that.

We then dive into Flower and Garden Festival.  After Bryan gives his top five items Lawrence lets us know how he uses the Scavenger Hunts with his kids, which leads into a conversation about the Orange Bird?  Yes, in relation to Figment - one of Epcot's iconic characters - we discuss the significance of the Orange Bird and his origins. Mykhailo will then give us his top five, focusing on the Garden Rocks Series, he's excited to see Simple Plan perform! Cory finishes up the conversation with his five items.  There is a lot to cover with this festival!

We then dive into the recent news around Universal Studios' Epic Universe.  Will this push Disney to create a fifth park? Does this mean that Beyond Big Thunder Mountain is going to be a reality in the Magic Kingdom?  What about Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios?  We discuss what this news does to the park industry in Orlando and what we would like to see!

Do you wish you could stay at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel for the rest of your life?  We do!  This week, we take a look at the Disney resorts we would love to live in forever, the resorts we would enjoy one fun night in and the one that we will destroy.  

We start with the WDW's Value resorts and decide between the All-Stars, Pop Century Resort or Art of Animation.  What will we love, enjoy or destroy? There is some interesting discussion here between Art of Animation and the All-Star Resorts.  Pop Century seems to be the middle child here.  We move on to the Disney's Moderate category and decide between Port Orleans, Caribbean Beach and Coronado Springs.  This discussion shows that we all have a favorite and we don't seem to agree.  

We move into the Disney Deluxe Category next.  We narrow it down to choosing between the Contemporary Resort, Polynesian Resort or the Grand Floridian Resort.  This discussion is where the fun begins.  We discuss fireworks views, the restaurants and the sights of these extraordinary resorts.  Its hard to choose between these wonderful hotels, but we manage to find away.

Finally, we open the discussion up and talk about the three places we would choose if we didn't have limits.  Would we still bulldoze the All-Stars, where would we choose to live the rest of our life? It gets a little off the rails, but we have a lot of fun discussing it!

The Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular at Disney's Hollywood Studios is a fun experience that was almost an opening day attraction for the park.  It seems to be ripe for a change and we thought we'd take a stab at what we could do with it.  We'll each make our big pitch.  Mykhailo wants to bring Cars Land to the space and we'll talk about what it would take to make that happen.  Bryan thinks a Muppets themed dark ride would be a great addition to the park, but do the Muppets have enough interest to support a new attraction?  We'll talk through it.

Once we've finished those discussions we'll take a look at what other Intellectual Property could fit in the space.  We discuss the possibility of Rapunzel ride from Tangled. Or maybe a new show with Encanto.  We also get into the history of how Tower of Terror and Alien Extraterrorestial was put into place as we figure out how to create an attraction without using IP.

This week, we're looking at attractions that deserve that final ride.  We ask the question, What attraction would you drop everything to go experience one last time.  Will you go to the Magic Kingdom for a last ride on Haunted Mansion?  Would you run for Epcot if they closed Frozen Ever After?  Or how about If they were shutting down Rock n Roller Coaster with Aerosmith?

We also go on a couple of tangents. One about the Disney College Program and one about the history of Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Westcot.  We even get into the ill-fated Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser.  Overall, we really find which rides are worth that one final ride.

Let us know what Walt Disney World attraction you would give that one final ride.

We finish up our discussion of our couples trip discussing our Epcot day.  We had a great time riding Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind for the first time together.  We'll discuss strategies for Guardians.  We also ate a ton of food during the Festival of the Holidays.  Not only did we peruse the countries and food, but we also enjoyed Norway's Barn Santa, ate all the cookies and even dined at Garden Grill.  

Eating at Garden Grill was essential to our evening event as we finished the night watching John Stamos narrate the Candlelight Processional.  This was the highlight of the entire trip and it was great to relive that moment as we discuss it on the show.

We continue to look at how we did traveling together to Disney World.
As part of our Disney World trip in December, we spent our Saturday outside of a park and enjoyed Disney Springs during the day and a trip around the monorail loop during the evening.

We spent our day hunting down Christmas trees, enjoyed holiday fare and did some shopping.  Did we make it to everything or did someone get upset?  Did we make to California Grill in time for our dinner?  Did we manage to visit the Gingerbread House at the Grand Floridian Resort?

We'll talk about these, review our food, discuss that animatronic at the Wilderness Lodge and what we enjoyed about this wonderful day that required teamwork and decision making among this group of four that hadn't yet traveled together.  Finally, we'll get into how we managed, whether we upset someone and the lessons we learned along the way.

Happy New Year!  

After a busy December that got away from us, we finally get together to talk about our Christmas trip to Walt Disney World.  Bryan, Tammy, Mykhailo and Kristin are together to cover Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom.  We'll cover how we handled getting in, buying merchandise and all the food.  But that's not all, we talk about favorite moments at the party together, what we think of the fireworks, the parade and the stage show.  Finally, find out our thoughts about the meet and greets at the party along with how much you actually can get done in one party night.

Not only are we covering the party, but this goes to a larger discussion of how to tour with another couple.  Did we get mad at each other? Did we have fun? Did we ditch each other to get our own things done?  We'll cover all this and more.  

In the end, we had a terrific time and we love getting to report on it!
