fastpass

Planning a Disney World vacation can almost be as much fun as the vacation itself. But if you're just embarking on the process, sometimes it is hard to even understand all the words associated with planning out the vacation!

Park hopping, virtual queues, lightning lanes, magic bands, advanced dining reservations, and a whole alphabet soup of acronyms--all the unchartered lingo can make you scratch your head and wonder if all the learning is even worth it.

Annie Frey and Erika Murphy are back to tell you it is ABSOLUTELY worth it! And they are ready to get you fully up to speed on all the terms, acronyms, and vocabulary you need to know to plan the absolutely most magical time at Walt Disney World.

Today in our Disney Detective, fans prefer Universal over the Genie and Tik Tok wants us to think Disney put a shop owner out of business

In our Tales from the Edge of the Galaxy, Happy Birthday to John Williams plus we finally get a release date for Obi-Wan Kenobi

And for our Entertainment News, Dolly is paying the bills and Mickey’s tribute to the Monkees

And as always we’ll finish up with our Insightful Picks of the week

¡10 noticias Disney del momento! Diana Su les cuenta todo sobre Genie+, el sistema que sustituirá los FastPass en los parques, reboot de Mi pobre angelito, brackets de Mickey Mouse, taquilla de las películas de Disney en 2021, Alan Horn se retira,  el musical de Aladdín de Broadway llega a México y más.

In this Rant/Rave episode, Conor and Caroline are reminiscing on two of Disney Pixar's forgotten flicks (no pun intended). Does Conor make the case that 1998's A Bug's Life is truly worthy of a re-watch? Are you riding shotgun with Caroline when she says that 2020's Onward should be magicked out of existence? Or are you still too busy mourning the death of the Fastpass in Disney Parks? Wherever you land, grab some candy corn and BYOB; this is gonna be one wild ride!

We're back this week after an unplanned break with a full show. In Disney Detective we talk about the major changes coming the Splash Mountain. Then we'll examine the delays with the previously planned July 17th reopening of Disneyland. We'll finish up with a look at a recent lawsuit victory for Disney regarding accessibility and it's Fast Pass system.

We'll examine a new book that suggests there was only one Jedi who could have stopped the rise of the Empire. We'll finish up with some wild speculation and some connecting of the dots that suggest Disney might have a way to erase the much maligned sequel trilogy and start over.

And Disney World Rival and Comcast owned Universal Orlando plans on moving forward with its Halloween celebration despite Disney's cancellation of their own version of the event in the COVID-19 conditions.

As someone who doesn't live in Florida, weekend trips to Disney World are a very tempting way to get in my Disney fix without breaking the bank or needing to take a lot of time off of school or work. But the question is, are weekend trips worth it?

What's a FastPass and why is it so important?

When planning your first WDW vacation, or if you haven't been recently, you might wonder about this FP+ thing you keep seeing. What is it? What does it do? Is it worth using (omg, yes)? And what are some good strategies to maximizing your FastPasses for your family? We discuss it all!

Animal Kingdom, a park full of discovery, nature, animals, and entertainment!

Did you know that one attraction at Animal Kingdom, Kilimanjaro Safari, is bigger than the entire Magic Kingdom! That's just a small peek into this episode. The newest of the four parks, Animal Kingdom will have you riding a safari through Africa, then searching for dinosaurs and a Yeti on Everest, and then riding a banshee. This park has it all!

Hollwood Studios, the Hollywood that never was and will always be

In this episode we discuss the glitz and glam of Hollwood Studios. Whether you're a lifer like Erika who will forever call this park MGM Studios or a newbie who has only experienced the park as Hollwood studios, we can all appreciate the lights and sounds that make up this wonderful park. The third park to open on property, Hollwood Studios has seen the most transformation. We discuss the shows and attractions and the newest addition to the park Galaxy's Edge!

I always come to the parks prepared with all sorts of essential items in my park bag! In this episode, I list some of these essential items so that you can start planning for your days in the parks. 

In this episode, I will provide an overview of the different types of Disneyland Resort park tickets, including:
