We talk about our highlights of Food & Wine, the new restaurants and attractions we got to check out, and even eked out some time for some good ol' fashioned dishwasher talk. Cheers!

"How do you do, fellow kids?" I don't care if it elicits groans from our Gen Z listeners. We are on the hunt for the best vibes in all of Walt Disney World. In this episode, we break down the places where the vibe is just right at all different times of the day. Looking for a relaxing place to meditate in the morning while you watch the sunrise?

As we are soon to be in the throes of March Madness, we figured that it'd be a great time to construct a bracket of 64 festival favorites across the Epcot festivals of new and old. This tournament is extra special because we are asking our listeners to help us determine which festival offering brings home the #1 crown!

In this episode - new nighttime shows coming to Galaxy's Edge and Jelly Rolls announces it will play its last tune. For our main topic, we are going with a listener suggestion: "I was wondering if you all would do a discussion on what you would do if you were planning a long weekend group trip to WDW. Where would you stay, eat, drink etc. what would be the itinerary?" If you were trying to plan a 3-or-4-day weekend down to Walt Disney World, we've got a whole bunch of ideas for you!

We have a super fun episode for you all. We evaluate 11 activities that Disney could potentially offer as Premium Experiences (and by "potentially offer", we mean "would totally never offer this to anyone but we had fun with it"). We then rank them by how desirable they'd be and try to determine what Disney would charge. Enjoy!
