This week on the Geekin’ on Walt Disney World Podcast, I’m joined by our good friend and Travelin’ Tiara herself — Auntie Judy!
Judy and Ken joined Margita and me for an unforgettable September stay along the monorail loop — including first-time experiences at the Grand Floridian Villas, Bay Lake Tower, and the brand-new Polynesian DVC Tower!

It’s a fun-filled episode packed with resort-hopping stories, dining adventures, and even a wild evacuation moment on Ratatouille that only a true Geek could appreciate!

This Week’s Episode

Judy shares her unique take on our four-resort “monorail crawl” — where we switched rooms several times and sampled some of Disney’s finest DVC resorts.

You’ll hear about:

• The charm of the Grand Floridian Villas (even amid construction)





• Bay Lake Tower favorites and those classic fireworks views





• First impressions of the Polynesian Tower’s gorgeous interiors





• Why she ranks Whispering Canyon, Hollywood & Vine, and Coral Reef among her top dining experiences





• And that unforgettable “Ratatouille evacuation” story at Epcot that turned into a geeky highlight of the trip!

Judy also shares her favorite magical moments — from meeting up with fellow Geeks in the parks to why she always reminds travelers to “be flexible” and enjoy the magic as it comes.

Episode Highlights

• Four stops on the Monorail Loop Resort Hop: Grand Floridian → Bay Lake Tower → Polynesian Tower → Beach Club preview





• Dining Deals & DVC Discounts: 40% off meals and top picks from Judy’s restaurant lineup





• The Polynesian Tower Reveal: What she loved inside and why she called the exterior “interesting”





• Hilarious and heartfelt stories — from soda spills to hot wings at Trader Sam’s





• Magical friendships and park moments that remind us why we go back year after year
