We Did This to Ourselves

047. Disney's Best and Worst: Worst Sounds

Disney's sound design is genuinely impressive. The people, however, are a different story. This week, we get a little cynical and work through our worst sounds from around Disney property including pre-show annoyances, shrill, rhythmic beeping that follows you from land to land and resort to resort, and the self-proclaimed Disney historians and the people who enable them. We also round it out with some Disney news and blues. Sorry folks, some sounds you just can't unhear. This episode is full of them.

046. EPCOT is Finally Showing Off

World Discovery doesn't have much going on in the way of food or atmosphere. What it does have is two of the best rides in all of Disney World, which turns out to be enough. This week, we talk about why Guardians of the Galaxy is the best ride on property, how the new Test Track is actually really solid, and explain why Mission Space is a ride we wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. There's not a lot of snacking happening in this corner of EPCOT, but when you're carrying that kind of horsepower, you don't really need a pickle in a pouch.  We also get through some Disney news and a new round of Lightning Lane questions. Come for the rides. There's nothing else here anyway.

045. Disney's Best and Worst: Best Sounds

Disney does a lot of things well, but the sounds might be the most underrated and memorable part of the whole operation. This week, Stef and I go through some of our favorite sounds from around Disney property: rides, transportation, park atmosphere, nighttime shows, and whatever it is about a Disney resort room that makes it feel like you're watching The Weather Channel at 2am.  We also talk over some Disney news and blues.  We didn't get to everything, and we already know you're going to scoff at what we missed. Go ahead. Tell us what we forgot.

044. The World Showcase Chapter Everyone Else Loves

This is the part of World Showcase that everyone else seems to lose their minds over. We are not everyone else. This week, we wrap up World Showcase with Norway and Mexico. A stretch beloved by people who could live on margaritas and chips and salsa, which, relative to most of the people who love this area, we cannot. We talk through why one of us is apparently very moved by the ride experience of going in reverse and why this area also has—without a doubt—one of the worst rides in all of Walt Disney World.  We also get through some Disney news and another round of Lightning Lane questions. See you at the margarita stand. We'll be somewhere else.

043. Disney's Best and Worst: Worst Lightning Lane Selections

Not every Lightning Lane is created equal. Some of them are just a slightly faster way to be disappointed. This week, we go through our worst Lightning Lane picks across Individual, Tier 1, and Tier 2. We talk about why one of Magic Kingdom's most recognizable rides probably isn't even worth burning a pick on, and a once-must-do that has disappointingly slid into the "...eh" category.  We also hit some Disney news, learn what "May-cember" is and spend some time thinking through what summer traffic patterns and wait times are going to look like now that parts of Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are getting back to normal. Spoiler: probably long. The answer is probably long.
