First off, it is 10PM on the West Coast and I am finishing up a late dinner while I listen and edit this episode for your enjoyment. So I apologize to the East Coast fan base and followers for being late with the episode.

In this episode we bring a ringer to answer questions about why EPCOT's Flower & Garden Festival is such a nice and pleasant event. Yes, that's right. Erin, a current CM and Skipper's wife, sat in to take the place of 2 Navigators. And she knocked it out of the park with some really good insights.

Susie Q brought us some quick Fastpass to the News items that ended on a high note.....food! She gets to the heart of Navigator Nation, doesn't she?

Then we take on the question posed to us by Behind the Magic's Rachel on creating a resort and theming it and placing it. I also threw in adding a restaurant and, possibly, a bar. And we stepped up to the plate to meet the challenge.

Lastly, we give a shout-out to our Podbean and website followers as we appreciate all of you too.

In this episode, we are back with a "live" episode that is near and dear to all of the Navigators......FOOOOOOD!

We take on the 4 parks in a college basketball-style discussion and pick 1 from each park to go out to the Navigator Nation to pick the WDW Champion Food!

Q and the Woo are still recovering from last week's St Patty's Day celebrating, so we went with a ringer, Erin! Skipper Chris's lovely wife joins us to take the reigns of Magic Kingdom offerings, Flathead Keith took on EPCOT to humorous results, Skipper went full tilt at the 1/2 day park, Hollywood Studios, and I took on the best themed park ever, Animal Kingdom.

We started with 16 each and paired it down to 2 each and then voted on which the 2 would represent each park. Listen to our options and then get on FB & Twitter on Friday to vote on your favorite!

The winning food item will be revealed on next week's episode!

In this episode, we put the Skipper up against the Q in the Cruise vs Cruise battle. Actually, it was more like Skipper recapping his very cruise and then us telling how much better a Disney cruise would've been!

Seriously, Skipper, and his wife Erin, just came back from a Royal Caribbean 7-day Western Caribbean cruise and then we compare it to the cruise Q took on Disney. It turned more ugly (very funny) at the end as it got personal.

Also, we take time to wish Capt Outline (Keith) a happy birthday as he turned......54 or 39 or 45 or something like that. Hope you had a great birthday, Keith!

In this episode, we have a special guest from the Behind the Magic podcast. Yes! The Apex Predator herself, Rachel! She's in to cover for Skipper, who is out navigating the 7, well 1, Seas on his own cruise.

We review and discuss some of Susie Q's latest news and the recent price increase announcement. Some of us aren't happy with it, since so much has been taken out of the parks.

Then we get down to the nitty gritty and discuss Susie Q's cruise! She talks her favorite parts and what her kids thought was the best parts too!

This episode is all about the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT that we have for the show, but before we can get it to it there was a full show.

This week it's the Q, K and R all by ourselves and we talk WDW, F&G, F&W, ABD, FL, PA, DC and DVC. Let me translate that for normal people that re checking us out for the first time.

Susie Q, Keith and Rob discuss the FastPass to the News on all things Walt Disney World in the upcoming Flower & Garden Festival, Rivers of Light in Animal Kingdom, Character Meet & Greets in Hollywood Studios and the Food & Wine Festival too.

Then we move onto the 3 new North American itineraries for Adventures by Disney. They have added Montana, WDW and Philly/DC trips their offerings. We review in depth the WDW and Philly/DC trips. We really get into some of the details of these trips and Keith and I add some persona opinions on the Philly/DC trip. Keith being from Philadelphia and I from having lived in the DC area for several years.

Lastly, we discuss the fact that one of us just joined DVC and how becoming a member came about. We take a virtual tour from signing up to signing the papers. Also, we discuss the plans on how the points will be used by banking and borrowing.

Even with all of this, we have our big announcement in the episode as well. We wish we could've waited for the entire cast be together for it, but we just couldn't wait.

The episode is a little long, like this show description, but is full of good info and, if you hang around to the end, there is ride audio from a very popular attraction.

Thank you for following along and listening! We do appreciate each and everyone of you in the Navigator Nation.

In this episode, Producer Rob tells us all about the first wedding to occur on Disney's Grand One yacht in Seven Seas Lagoon. All about the planning, the extras and watching the Electric Water Pageant go by during the vows. We also talk about what my wife and I would do differently, if we had to do it over again and why. I also regale everyone one with a quick story on a secret part of the wedding that made my wife cry & hit me, happily.There is a shaky video of the wedding on my YouTube channel, just search "Rob Myrick" to see it. Lastly, this is one of the funniest episodes we have recorded, before and after my interview of myself and my story. You have to stay to the end to hear all of the bloopers that I DIDN'T leave in the episode! They are hysterical.Thank you to all of our listeners and followers, we do appreciate you.
