  • Harry Potter and the Escape From Seven Dwarves Mine Cart

    This week on an all new episode of Drunk Distory presents ‘The Dark Ride’ we get our caped caper on with a good ole fashioned bank heist. Come join the drunk duo as we dance down diagon alley, spell cast expecto Patron tequila, and roll deep into Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringotts. What heist would be complete without gold, trolls, dragons, kinky haired spell speakers, and snake faced baddie daddies'. So if you ever wanted to relive your weekly errands by waiting in line at the bank, Join Adriane and Ryan as they stupefy the shorty staff, make OSHA proud with the use of oversized safety 3d glasses and hit the bobsled below the bank. But what pray tell shall we find in this mystical realm of goblins and ghoulies, probably a physically and mentally abused albino dragon that looks more like a crackhead than a carnivore. Will this mine cart mimicry get an A in Charms class, or will we be left as teary eyed as hearing snape say "Always"? There’s only one way to find out!

  • Swiss Family Tree-Hootch

    What do you get when you mix Puritan values, Goonie level booby traps, and Bob Villa Carpentry skillz, that's right you get the bungalow on the bough, the lifted loft, Adventureland's own deciduous dwelling. An experience proving that; you can take the château out of Switzerland, but you cant take the family out of this flophouse. You guessed it, were hugging bark at Swiss Family Treehouse. The attraction based on a movie that came out when you weren't yet a twinkle in your granny's eye, and speaking of old folks homes;  Today were climbing steps and singing "Oh Christmas Tree" like our grand pappy did; while hiding from tigers, pirates, and their annoyingly precocious son Francis up in a big softwood sapling.  This is the first walkthrough attraction for us drunkards at The Dark Ride, so tie them laces, you really don't want to trip over your Keds and plunge down from this six story concrete conifer. Will the additional steps make our hearts soar with the promise of views to tommorowland, or will all this extra exercise make us want to stay grounded next time? ....There is only one way to find out.

  • AnR March Sadness Tournament

    Well its early spring , with all the cleaning and organizing that comes with it, and  as our seasonal affective disorder has taken full control, we felt that it was time to get our competition on. You've heard of the tournement of champions, but who speaks for the speechless, the little long lost and for some, forgotten rides of yesteryear. So that is what were doing today, break out the hatchets for these brackets, because its time to dust off the defuncts with the 2023 Drunk Distory Tournament of Sadness. We will put up some of our favorite rides and attractions that are no longer amongst the living at the Disney World Resort to discover which one was the best of the bygone? 

    In order to tackle a triumphant tournament like this we need some help, and today we are honored to be joined by the always hilarious and very knowledgeable; Travel Agent William (@travelagentwilliam on Tiktok).  We’re very excited to talk to him and hear his opinions on what defunct rides bring him the most Disney sadness! This is a long one, so pony up to the bar, get your favorite libation, and settle in for a no holds barred, kill or be killed, drag yo grandma from the grave fight to the finish. A wrestling match where we figure out if a cartoon driving toad is better than a cartoon dragon and his old man caretaker. Nevermind the school anthem to Mesa Verde, or the fact that stupid Judy is better at Jeopardy than you, we are here to find the definitive response to a three headed troll going snorkeling in shark infested waters. So which long lost lovely is gonna take this sweet sixteen down to churro town?, and which rides are going to meander down the boat ride river of tears  and go over don't give a fuck falls .... you gotta listen in to find out!
