To Walt, ‘plus’ was a verb—an action word—signifying the delivery of more than what his customers paid for or expected to receive. He constantly challenged his Imagineers to see what was possible, and then take it a step further … and then a step beyond that.

On the show this week, Randy shares his thoughts on "plussing," and why Walt's belief in this this concept may be more important now than ever before as Disney continues to transform their parks.

Welcome to the show!

On the show this week, we discuss a few of our Disney non-negotiables, or in other words, those rides, foods, and/or attractions that we absolutely can't miss each time we go to the parks.

Be patient with us. We tried out a new recording format and Dack sounds a little weird at first, lol. Trust us, he's not recording from his bathroom.

We hope you enjoy the show!

In this episode, we "escape to the past" as we uncover some unforgettable attractions, special traditions, and unique details that no longer exist but live on in our hearts. We’ll talk about the little things that added up to create that Disney magic—whether it was arriving to Disney on the Magical Express, or taking the Magic of Disney Animation tour and show at Hollywood Studios, plus many more! Listen in as we reminisce, sharing what we miss most and why these memories remind us that Disney World isn’t just a theme park; it’s a part of our lives.

We hope you enjoy the show!

Welcome! On the show this week, we're diving into a topic every Disney fan can relate to—those long lines! Listen in as we count down the top 10 Disney World attractions based on wait times, and discuss how those wait times can shape your experience. Do you still love that favorite ride after standing in line for over an hour? Does a shorter wait make an attraction seem even better? We’ll break down the stats and share our thoughts on how our perceptions can change the longer or shorter we have to wait! Plus, we discuss Disney's new Lightning Lane Premier Pass program and try to put this new offering into perspective.

We hope you enjoy the show!

We hope that this show is for everyone what it is for us, a weekly escape to Disney.…where you can push the pause button on life or whatever else is going on in your world, and come and escape to Disney with us!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most enchanting aspects of the Disney experience: the pre-show. For those unfamiliar, a pre-show is an immersive experience that occurs before the main attraction, designed to set the mood and build excitement. These segments often feature storytelling, elaborate set designs, and sometimes even characters, transporting guests deeper into the Disney universe before the ride even begins.

Listen along as we debate which pre-shows at Disney World are the best!

We hope you enjoy the show!
