Order in the court! Judge Jim Hill presides as Len Testa and Chris Cox debate whether Walt Disney World’s deluxe resorts truly justify their sky-high price tags. From monorail convenience and poolside fireworks to theming, dining plans, and “three-zone bathrooms,” this episode puts Disney luxury on trial. But when the verdict’s in, will comfort, convenience, or cost win the day?
HIGHLIGHTS
Chris argues the magic of waking up to a Savanna view at Animal Kingdom Lodge — even if you’re rushing to the bus five minutes later.
Len breaks down travel times, room sizes, and the math behind “$210-a-night happiness.”
Jim recalls the evolution of Disney’s resort categories — and how Grand Floridian’s grandeur has changed over time.
A deep dive into the perks of Deluxe dining, early-entry hours, and the eternal battle between park time and resort time.
The trio reflects on nostalgia, theming, and the real price of that “Disney bubble.”
