Game on! We’re kicking off round one of an epic series of Gold Key Game Nights! But first, travel news, including even more restaurants open in Walt Disney World, Japanese floating hotel orbs of the future, and Jamaica has a bobsled team! Check your buzzers and answer in the form of a question, it’s time to hit the trail with the Gold Key Adventurers Society!

I’m calling tonight’s game “The Gold Key Adventurers Society Doesn’t Talk About Bruno”. A jaded, cynical person might think that I’m trying to take advantage of the astronomical popularity of the most popular song from a Disney animated film in the last 26 years. And that jaded, cynical person would be 100% right!

Hoka hey! It’s a beautiful day to dream about our Disney and theme park bucket list destinations! But first, travel news, including what’s cool and what’s not at EPCOT’s newly reopened Club Cool, a hoarder’s dream at the House On The Rock, and Minion weirdness at Universal Studios Orlando. Grab your passport and hop on the tour,  it’s time to hit the trail with the Gold Key Adventurers Society!

The start of the year is a great time to sit down, look at the goals you’ve set for yourself, take stock of what you’ve accomplished, and maybe come up with some slightly more aspirational items to put in your bucket list. This week we’re filling up our lists with the theme park destinations and adventures that would make for the trip of a lifetime.

Baby it’s cold outside! This week we talk about winter and Disney World- from food and festivals to all the best feelings and most questionable snow themed attractions. Plus travel news, including virtual reality at theme parks, help with canceled flights, and gigantic drop rides in Orlando. Zip up your coat and don’t forget your mittens, It’s time to hit the trail with the Gold Key Adventurers Society!

Florida and its theme parks are a whole new place when winter time rolls around. For those of us living in the frozen north, it can seem almost like paradise, compared to sub zero temperatures and mountains of drifting snow. This week, I wanted to look at some of the best, weirdest, most wonderful things about Disney Parks in Winter time, from food to attractions, feelings, sights, sounds-it’s a little bit of everything this week!

• Disney patents VR tech to bring theme park guests into a magical world without headsets

Game on! This week we’re drafting our Winter Olympics dream teams from the rank of world class athletes that populate our favorite Disney theme parks and movies! But first, all the week’s travel news, including face masks are back in at Universal Orlando Resort, Japanese mystery flights from a vending machine, returning home with an expired passport, returning to Disney World’s All Star Sports resort, and weird New Year’s traditions!  Sharpen your skates and watch out for the zamboni, it’s time to hit the trail with the Gold Key Adventurers Society!

 In the spirit of fair play, inclusion, and equality, it’s time for us to get absolutely silly. Your job today is to draft the best possible teams of athletes for a series of Olympic events. And since we prefer to spend our time with space aliens, fairytale princesses and hillbilly bears, your pool of potential team members is any character-whether human, fantastical, or animatronic, that you would find in a Disney theme park. Remember, we’re doing this draft style. So once an athlete has been selected for a team, they’re off the board for the rest of the game. Also, we run our drafts the way we run from snipers, in a serpentine pattern, so the person who goes last in round 1 goes first in round 2. Let’s get started!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This week, we’re talking about gratitude.
