Good old Bob Chapek has done it once again! He has me all fired up with the announcement of price increases starting immediately on Genie+.  On this episode I am bringing you another chapter in, You Know What Really Grinds My Gears? I said way back on Chapter 1 of You Know What Really Grinds My Gears? that once they started limiting the amount of people that could use Genie+, it was Disney (without saying it) admitting that the system was a failure, it was broken, and they needed to find a way to start decreasing the amount of people that were actually using i, and then a price increase would be next. They needed to decrease the amount of people using it, so it could run more efficiently, but they love the bottom line of what it brings in for pure profit, so here we are with simple math. If you want to lower the amount of people using it, but you want to still make the same amount of profit, a price increase was inevitable, and that is unfortunately the news we got today.

As previously promised on the podcast, this week we bring you our review of the current state of Disney parks in Florida.  Having spent a week down in somewhat sunny, often rainy and oppressively hot Florida we’ve had a chance to see if Disney has been able to bring the magic back. We’ll take a look at the resort, the amenities offered and the service. Then we’ll take a look at the technology Disney is trying to throw at it’s guests to justify some of the drawbacks and costs. Finally we’ll talk about our experience at three of the four parks and where they stand compared to previous visits.

Dining in the Disney Parks can have big implications for your touring plan. Not to mention, just trying to decide if you want to spend the time. We take a look at dining in the parks, where you may want to dine and what it takes to get the Advanced Dining Reservation (ADR) you want. We also discuss how you want to approach dining in each park. Having a meal in Epcot may look much different than eating at the Magic Kingdom. We'll give you our tips for enjoying a great meal at a table service restaurant during your park day.

Animal Kingdom is often looked at as a half day park. We're here to answer the question - should you go to Animal Kingdom? We'll talk about the main attractions and the shows, but there is so much more to this park than getting in for a few rides and leaving. 

We'll explore whether this is a quick park to jump in and out of or if you should spend the whole day. Not only will we explore that, but we will cover some fun things to do that maybe you weren't aware existed in this park.
