    Studio

    I don't think I have any very helpful or specific feedback, as I almost exclusively listen in Apple Podcasts vs watch on YouTube. I will say that I can literally hear the way the mood/tone/vibe has been lifting higher and higher over recent months. I like some of the show formats/topics you've...

    One day in Disneyland- picking my "Battles"

    Wishing you the BEST DAY in DLP and DCA! I am a big believer in the rope drop -> 3 - 5 pm nap break at hotel -> park close schedule, and since you will be staying at Grand Californian, you might be able to make that work. I'm not sure what park hours will be like when you're there. If Disneyland...

    Haunted Mansion DCL Bar Announced + Holiday & After Hours Details Announced – Episode #4

    Just jumping in here to add to all the people talking about how much I loved this week's episode! I think on a previous episode's thread, someone mentioned how much they'd loved the Off the Rails show style. The free flowing banter and discussion for this week's ep was just awesome. I was...

    DIS Unlimited Podcast Disney Virtual Roundtable Discussion Episode #1

    As a person who used to be very conservative and has changed my opinions after getting to know people affected by "social justice warrior issues," I just wanted to chime in here and say that I appreciate when podcasts include "SJW" perspectives and discuss current issues. I DO NOT say this to...

    Would you buy DL tickets now or see if there's a Black Friday sale? Going week after Thanksgiving

    Really? Good to know in case I'm ever trying to buy a bunch of tickets for a trip happening further in the future than OP :). I guess... in my head that doesn't count as a Black Friday sale. $15/ticket is paltry compared to 40%, etc. discounts like other Black Friday sales give you!

    Would you buy DL tickets now or see if there's a Black Friday sale? Going week after Thanksgiving

    I have never in my life heard of a Black Friday sale on Disney tickets. Like ever. The tourism industry and the retail industry are very different in their seasonality and their specials. Also, if you waited until Black Friday or the week of Black Friday (which we in the retail industry call...

    Which days would be best late January?

    I genuinely think that having a solid touring plan/strategy and being willing to rope drop (or at the very least to pay for Genie+) is going to make any of those date combinations work well for you. So from my POV the thing I'd consider the most is opportunities to see fireworks, which would...

    Rope drop strategies Dec 17-21

    My best recommendation for you is to use the touring strategies from DisneylandDaily.com - she's got different plans for different variables (age of kids, early entry or not, with/without genie+, if you'll use ILL for certain attractions or not.) I've never had a bad touring day when following...

    Which days would be best late January?

    My vote would be the Sunday-Tuesday purely so that you get in 1 weekend night and have a chance of seeing the fireworks at Disneyland. Also, if you trust the crowd calendaring at Touring Plans, those are the 3 days when their crowd calendar predicts the lowest crowds.

    Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween 2023 Super Thread

    So funny because my impression of the party on 9/19 was that it was SUCH a low crowd level. This was my group's first ever OBB (or hard ticket event, for that matter), so maybe we have nothing to compare it to? Here are some bullet points with my observations/thoughts: The decor at DCA is...

    The Anaheim Hotel review

    If I see that's the room recommendation, I'll immediately ask for a swap. ;)

    Need help with park recommendations

    Honestly if you have 3 full days in the parks the 16-18 then I wouldn't worry about getting in there on the 15th. I never do more than 3 park days in a row without taking a break day. Also my best tip is to be there for rope drop every morning, ride as many things as you can until an early...

    Visiting DCA or Disneyland in the evening

    OH yes that is a good tip! Also have you seen the Sh-boom lighting in Cars Land @Jhornick ? If not, definitely try to! At sunset, they play the song "Sh-Boom" from the soundtrack and all the neon lights come on one by one. It lasts for like... 3 minutes, so its easy to miss, but it's such a fun...

    Rise of the Resistance rope drop (and other silly questions).

    Yeah... so what our group is gonna do is buy an ILL for it on Sunday so we can definitely experience it at least once. And then... if we get there at rope drop and the line for it is crazy, we will just backtrack a bit and do Haunted Mansion instead. At least... that is what the Touring Plans...

    The Anaheim Hotel review

    UH OH lol. I'm heading out tomorrow morning for a four night stay at The Anaheim Hotel. Hopefully we don't get the room you stayed in!!!! I'll make sure to check the toilet seat and shower knob as soon as we check in so we can demand a new room if need be...

    Visiting DCA or Disneyland in the evening

    This is always my strategy - to rope drop parks, take a late afternoon nap at the hotel, and then return to parks to close the night (although i usually come back around 5 pm and have an early dinner in the parks.) My biggest tip is to use Genie+ to keep stacking up lightening lanes for the...

    Rise of the Resistance rope drop (and other silly questions).

    I'm interested in this question too (rope dropping Rise)! Our only Disneyland start day is next Monday (9/18), and I was thinking we could try to rope drop Rise for once. (We are planning to buy the ILL for it the day prior, when we're starting at DCA and hopping over to DL after lunch.) People...

    Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween 2023 Super Thread

    Just wondering... how early do y'all advise getting there to check in? We don't have DL tix for the day of our OBB tix, as we are planning to sleep in that morning and relax before going hard from 3-11 pm. We want to take advantage of all 8 hours, so.. do we need to line up at 2:30? 2?

    Will the Tuesday Show Return?

    I'm so excited to hear that! I've missed listening to the team and getting the latest info on the parks. Love the idea to start totally fresh with new name and new branding. If y'all ARE able to change up the time of the show.... I'd be more able to watch live. But if not, that's fine. I'm more...
