Be Our Guest WDW Podcast

This is the Live Call-in Show from this past Sunday night, September 7, 2025!  Mike and Scott were together for the hour with some fun Disney talk!  Tonight was another great show because of our callers!  We start by hearing a few highlights from Scott's 3-night Disney Dream cruise out of Fort Lauderdale over the Labor Day Weekend, where he had an extended aft-facing verandah!  We got into a conversation over if a 3-night cruise "scratches that itch" for a sailing or if it just goes too quickly.   We had some great calls as well discussing upcoming sailings, including a Halloween on the High Seas cruise, paired with a Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom, a call about ground transportation to a cruise, and some fun Disneyland discussion as well!  This and much more on today's show!  Come join us in the BOGP Clubhouse this week at www.beourguestpodcast.com/discord.  Please visit our website at www.beourguestpodcast.com.  Thank you so much for your support of our podcast!
