Today Mike, Rikki and Listener Thomas from Cleveland discuss our best character experiences around Walt Disney World, both current and a couple from the past. What makes the difference when it comes to meeting a character to you? Do you prefer "face" or "furry" characters? Do you think about who the "first" character your child will meet will be?

1st Cruise on the Disney Dream - Inside Stateroom, Reviews of Entertainment, Castaway Cay, Traveling in February, More - BOGP 2482

Mike, Scott, and Rikki are back today to have some fun with the Walt Disney World restaurants! We get this show topic from the BOGP Clubhouse as we were wondering what really drives guests to book the ADRs that they do. Are you looking more for the overall theme/experience of the restaurant or is it the food quality that is the most important factor? Today, we throw out various Walt Disney World restaurants and discuss if the experience is greater than, less than, or equal to the food quality! Play right along with us!
