Our second piece of news leads right into the main topic for the week: FastPass at Disney World are changing in Hollywood Studios. Basically, several of the parks operate off of a tier system with tier 1 rides being the most desired and 2 a little less popular. When book...

Do I crush his score on the trivia? You’ll have to listen and see! This week, we talk about the opening of Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland. The first week, wait times were pretty low, especially when you contrast them with the 10...

Better late than never! On this week's episode, once we get past Angela's awesome (?) DJ Khaled impersonation we take a deep dive into Disney Vacation Club.

Plus, in Disney news we discuss the recent TEA/AECOM Theme Park...

(Okay…not really, but it’d get people out of the park on time, wouldn’t it?) T...
