Monorail Tales: A Disney Fan Podcast

MTP 464: Planes, Trains, and Monorail (Tales)


Listen Later

Join us as Ric chats with Chris Malek of the Dub Dee Dub Revue Podcast as he shares his fresh-off-the-runway stories from his recent trip to Florida from Chicago.

The guys talk about why you should always show up on time for your flight, even if the board says "DELAYED"—because as he learned, airlines can "un-delay" faster than Chris can say, "Wait… they're boarding NOW?"

Then the conversation rolls into the Uber zone, where Chris reveals three lesser-known Uber features, including that nifty safety option that lets you record your ride—perfect for peace of mind, or for dramatic reenactments later. Chris shares his experience with scheduling ahead and rolling the dice on a "Share a Ride" feature (what kind of monster would do that is what Ric wants to know?), which has a surprising result.

And of course—because no great travel story ends without a twist—Chris recounts a weird airport moment on his return trip that would've fit perfectly into the original Planes, Trains & Automobiles if Steve Martin needed one more reason to lose his mind.

It's a casual episode, a useful one if you're traveling soon, and possibly the perfect show filler—with absolutely zero questionable pillow situations. We checked.

Before you rush off to catch your next flight, train, monorail, Uber, or anything else that may or may not leave on time… we'd love to hear from you. Visit www.speakpipe.com/MonorailTales and leave us a message—preferably recorded before your gate mysteriously changes.

To keep the journey rolling long after this episode ends, check out www.monorailtales.com, follow us on Facebook, and join our community of Disney-loving travelers, storytellers, and occasional airport survivors.

And if your next adventure includes dreaming of your own Disney Vacation Club escape, swing by our friends at DVC Shop for the best deals on resale contracts and rentals. They're far more reliable than the departure boards.

From all of us at Monorail Tales— thanks for taking the trip with us… even if it wasn't nonstop.
