Yeah, I have to agree. I LOVE Pete and Ryno and really respect their expertise about WDW, but they just aren't DL experts and can't become experts in a couple of weeks or months. There was a conversation in last week's episode that really drove this home -- Katrina and Tyler mentioned concerns...

Very much agree with this! I LOVED the old DL show, I think it was actually my favorite of all of the weekly shows. I live in Orlando and WDW has always been my home park, so I found the DL shows to be so informative -- a whole new side of Disney that I knew nothing about! I could swallow the...

Unfortunately I don't think MK lot will be free at 7pm if the park is open until midnight (Epcot closes at 9pm most nights, so there aren't many arrivals after 7pm which is why I assume they think it makes more sense not to staff the booth). But you're right that it won't hurt to try!

Yes, this doesn't seem to be well-known and it's funny to see people slowly creeping through the toll booth and then taking off like they committed a crime :rotfl: As everyone else has said there isn't a schedule, but I go to Epcot a lot in the evenings and 7pm is usually when they stop...

Ah yes, the shuffle to the monorail can be rough. I will say that so far, I have not seen any change in the availability of trams from the TTC back to the lot at the end of the day. The big change is really on arrival, particularly in the morning. I hope they don't mess with return service...

That's awful! Totally uncalled for. I had been meaning to mention that whenever I've taken the tram from the TTC back to the MK parking lot they have always made a quick stop at Aladdin/Jafar, even though it's relatively close. I always took this to mean that Disney understands people do...

Yes, it was this Saturday. Busses running from the TTC to the MK is pretty common on the weekends and during busy periods (it's one of my favorite "tricks" -- the bus ride isn't as magical as the ferry or monorail, but it's so speedy!). They usually only run them in the morning because the...

The BEST part of this comment is that I now know there is a Tiana ice cream party at DL - this is amazing!!! I want to go to there. Also, yes, it's interesting me to see that there are quite a few who see the extra walk as no big deal. I wonder if I had posted the opposite experience (that as...

Interesting! On a Monday morning of what should be a fairly slow day (compared to past few weeks of heavy Spring Break crowds). Did your friends walk or tram? And did they mind the "recommendation" to walk or did they think it was just a helpful suggestion to avoid the wait?

I did consider the security issue, and it's definitely possible. However, I know what Disney is capable of, and if this is the case, I would expect them to work a little harder at making sure the walking experience is a better and safer one for guests, and that they are a little more honest...

I don't only go on Saturdays, but that's just a routine I've been doing for about 3 years, so I feel like it's a good "control" scenario to use as a comparison. I'd say at least 3 Saturdays a month over that time I've been arriving at the MK between 9:30-10:30 in the morning and spending a few...

Thanks! I'm mostly a lurker and didn't know if anyone would even look at this thread or my super wordy post -- I really was curious what others thought, and it sounds like we're pretty much on the same page (except for our athletic abilities -- I max out at a half marathon, so congrats on the...

I'm the OP and can address a couple of things. Trams weren't down yesterday, CM just said there were no trams stopping in Hook. I was by myself and was fine to walk, so I didn't think it was the right time for me to go up to that CM and talk hypotheticals (what if I had my mom with me, what if I...

Hi everyone -- thanks for all of comments and discussion! I just finished a shift serving ice cream at GKTW (the best part of being a local - so many cute munchkins tonight!) and I knew there would be some good responses to read through. Definitely some things for me to think about...also, I...

Wow, tough crowd! OK, guess it's just me. To answer questions... Sparkly, I guess for me it's enjoyable to walk through the parks because I'm having fun, but not so in the parking lot? And so that extra half mile seems unnecessary and uncomfortable when there's no shade? Bumbershoot, I did...

Wanted to share a troubling issue I've noticed in the Magic Kingdom lately. Backstory: I'm an Orlando-area transplant so now a happy WDW local and I'm in the parks often. In particular I like heading over to the MK on Saturday mornings -- I love to just walk the park and people watch and enjoy...

This was a fun show! I also use a very expensive hair dryer, it's my number one concern when I'm sorting out my packing needs for a trip abroad. Why can't hotels just offer good powerful hair tools, even for an upcharge? Also, a quick luggage suggestion -- check out Away...

Agreed, fantastic show! I listened tonight and it made my miserable commute an absolute delight. Not sure if it was the heat, the host, or the presence of Julie AND Corey (how often does that happen?), but awesome job everyone!

I just signed up for the movie and lunch! This will be my first DIS event, I'm so excited -- can't wait to meet everyone. Now I just have to find some sort of Star Wars Cliffs Notes since I haven't seen the original movies since I was 7 or 8 years old :)

I enjoyed listening to the team discuss the Disney's recent price changes on today's podcast -- it's been a major topic of discussion among friends for the past 2 days, and I knew I'd hear some interesting perspectives from my favorite podcasters. The one thing I found myself disagreeing with a...
