Aaron, Willie and Tim talk about the Walt Disney World "Enchanting Extras" collection of tours, events and activities. They highlight favorites for adults-only, parents traveling with younger children, things that don't require theme park admission, and more!

This week, Aaron, Willie and Tim discuss some of their favorite things about the Animal Kingdom Area of Walt Disney World. We think this area gets a bit neglected by guests - it lacks special transportation, like the monorail or Skyliner. And if you don't make an effort to learn more about the area, it's easy to overlook it and fall into habits or patterns that take you elsewhere at Walt Disney World. But we highlight some truly unique features that we think can make this area a great choice for many people's next Walt Disney World vacation.

With Willie off at camp, Aaron and Tim sat down with Kyle Gossman to hear all about his family's Galactic Starcruiser voyage on the Halcyon. (Warning: some content might be considered spoilers, if you are trying to avoid any advance knowledge of the experience).

What do you think about a Galactic Starcruiser vacation? Did Kyle's trip report change your thinking at all? Did Kyle's experience make you more or less likely to book Galactic Starcruiser for yourself? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

It seemed like this past year was too weird of a year to do a "normal" awards show. So instead, back in January, Aaron, Willie and Tim tossed the concept of an awards show into a hopper along with an old Johnny Carson bit. This is the result. We hope you enjoy our "Guess The Award" Show.

Aaron, Willie and Tim take a look at Disney Destination vacation planning from a different angle. The panel shares their best advice for what NOT to do when planning and enjoying your Disney Destination vacation.
