Obligatory; "When do you think the dining plan is returning?" What do you guys think of the new Genie + changes? What are the top 3 tips for first timers that know nothing about Disney parks? What's one recent Disney change, park pass reservation, genie plus etc you wish hadn't of happened. And why? Rank all 4 parks for 1. Family with small children 2. Family with teens 3. Young adults without kids 4. Seniors How would your "rope drop" plans change for off property guests? What WDW restaurant do you want to try that you have not been to yet? If you could retheme one attraction which one would it be and what changes would you make? Is Darth Vader's mask a humidifier or a dehumidifier? ... AND... our strategy for the Studios has been to 1. Buy a Rise LL 2. Nab a Genie+ LL for Tower as first priority (with only one elevator working, it has jumped above several other attraction for that top spot) 3. Rope-Drop Slinky. How would you rate this strategy and how would you change it? How would you approach trying to do four parks in one day? (With genie+ and lightning lanes). Our kids are 10,6,4,1. Oldest does not like coasters yet. What is the MINIMUM number of attractions you would find respectable/worth the vacation. Do you think annual passes will return for non-Florida residents? And how often do you need to go to justify the cost? What's your Disney Parks guilty pleasure? What are your best tips for navigating Disney as a family of 5? It seems like everything is geared towards families of 4. What tricks should be used to rope drop when staying on property and not renting a car?? Disney transportation never gets us there early enough What are the best strategies for Child Swap with Genie +? We'll have a 4 year old (guessing she'll be above 40 inches) and a 18 month old on our trip. (4 adults will be on this trip) What land gets rethemed 1st. Tomorrowland or Frontierland? Do you think meal plans will ever come back What is the 1 thing from each park you would tell a new visitor they had to do. What's one recent Disney change, park pass reservation, genie plus etc you wish hadn't of happened. And why?

Today we are joined by Kingdakha as we dive into things people might miss at Walt Disney World. Could be a ride that's overlooked, or a meal you don't think about. Maybe a hidden bathroom, or a magical secret spot to watch fireworks.
