Ep. 587 - WDW Fan Zone Show - Comparing Things To Do at the 4 Walt DIsney World Parks

Although there are 4 different theme parks at Walt Disney World, they don’t necessarily have the same things to offer. This week, we dig into the differences in number and type of rides, shows, character experiences, entertainment, shopping, dining, and more. We will talk about how long we typically stay at each of the parks, the perception of crowd size, attendance, and other impressions. With the current plans for expansions and updates, we’ll also discuss which parks we think might be lacking in overall experience compared to ticket prices, Lightning Lane prices, wait times, and our recommendations for touring.

Ep. 584 - WDW Fan Zone Show - Kurt's June WDW Trip - Catching Up on the Latest

Fresh off his early June trip to Walt Disney World, Kurt lets us know what new/refurbished experiences he tried and what he thought of them (without giving too much away). He shares perceptions on Rock n Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Zootopoia Better Zoogether, Smugglers Run, and more. He also also gives us a report on crowds and construction and if he had anything good to eat! Hopefully, his report can help us guests who have upcoming summer trips.
