Aaaaand, we're back! And Welcome to the show "Real Dan". Gone are the days of that leftist woke pleb that is the character Dan has been playing for all these years and here are the days of the real dan telling it like it is. Erik and Jimmy share the details and occasionally problematic history of the 4 moderate hotels at The Walt Disney World Resort. From the original moderate Disney's Caribbean Beach to the newer convention resort in Disney's Coronado Springs. We also discuss the history of Port Orleans with the French Quarter and the Splash Mountain esque Riverside (Formerly known as Dixie Landings) complete with confederate flags and cotton plantation vibes. Real Dan of course has no problem with any of it, until they got too woke and made it more inclusive and less "slavey" Enjoy! Something for everyone!

We're back! Again, for the first time, for the last time. As The Supreme Resort Podcast evolves, we expand our discussion to the differences between Disneyland and Walt Disney World beyond the major rides, shows and attractions. In this episode, we also speculate on Disneyland Forward and share more about our personal lives than you never knew and never really cared about. Thank you listener for sticking with us through our continued evolution. To paraphrase Walt Disney: The Supreme resort will never be complete. It will always be in a state of becoming.

It's that time of year again! Because we can't say March Madness because we will get sued...wait....' Anyway, it is the time of year where we create the brackets and decide the best thing in all the 4 parks or some variation of that theme. This year, what is the best single rider line in the domestic parks? The intent of this episode was to break down all the single rider lines and get to a top 16 so we could debate for the final episode in March with a special guest host from DL Weekly Podcast, Tage. However, upon further investigation, Disney did it for us because while there are officially 9 at Disneyland, there are only 4 at Walt Disney word. So, while we also discuss other items I.e. price of the parks, general hot takes etc, we land on the elite 8 and determine the brackets for this year's challenge. I swear we are not becoming haters on the parks, Jimmy just posed the "is it too expensive" question and like the rest of the arguments of this show, it just depends.

Magic Happens returns to Disneyland and Festival of Fantasy never really left the Magic Kingdom. Join as we litigate the two parades you can experience on a daily basis at each Kingdom park. Which will win? The seasoned veteran with classic music and characters seen by millions? The upstart with new music written by an internet star? You'll have to tune in for all the song excerpts, all the analysis, all the ambivalence. Also, I think Dan has a new obsession. We had a fun time recording After Hours on this one as well.
