The Dark Ride

Today we head on down to the binary bistro, to drink our cares away and talk funny about all things theme parks. This week Adriane tells Ryan all about her August trip to the hottest hovel this side of the Sahara, luckily it also rained a lot cause we all know there is no better feeling then being hot and soaked to the bone. This is a two-parter so we get to hear all about the pre trip plans and then through the channeling of Robin Williams timekeeper and the power of audio delay, we get to hear all about the reality of how this trip really went down. The terrific twosome also talk d-23 and some of the extra offerings of the season. Will the spooky cooky vibes of mickeys not so scary make up for the worrisome weather ...  To find out, you just gotta listen in.

This week on a mountainous episode of ‘The Dark Ride’ we get our Carl Sagan on, and drink about a very special trip into the cosmos. So set your phasers to stun, prepare to go where no man has gone before, and try not to lose your chocolate chip cookie asteroids . As we put the dark in The Dark Ride while zipping through the stars on Space Mountain! Isn't it nice to read an attraction name that is only three syllables long, ahh the simpler times. In all seriousness, We both love this ride so much, and it’s a real countdown clock all the way up until the end because this attraction is a real contender in our space race to find out which ride is the best ride to drink about in all of the themed universe! So, will Space Mountain break atmo into the shining glory of the top place or will it do a McConaughey and have a “Failure To Launch”? There is only one way to find out!

Today we find ourselves back in the motherboard microbrewery, to get more nostalgic than a hornless narwhal and talk funny about all things theme parks. This week Adriane and Ryan get down right drunk going through some listener mail and answering some fantastic questions about trips with Disney newbies, what it is like doing our podcast as friends and coworkers, and a bunch of other hard hitting Qs n' As. Then our hosts roll the dice on whether they will sell their soul to Dr. Facilier as they take on yet another BuzzFeed quiz. Will this food related personality quiz finally make them feel full of life, love, and the pursuit of Disneydom or will it end up as a protein spill on the floor of Mission to Mars? To find out, you just gotta listen in.

This week on an all-new episode of Drunk Distory presents ‘The Dark Ride’, we continue our deep dive into hotels around the theme park world with Drunk Distory's Resort Round Up. On this Episode, get ready to curl up under the great wooded way and wake up to jugglers, magicians, and other unscrupulous roustabouts trying to swindle you out of your hard-earned greenbacks, at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort.  All we are missing is a seedy casino and this deluxe hotel would have all the trappings of ... Atlantic City,...New... Florida, wait I may be confused by all this colorful amusement. So confused that we should get some help on this one.  This ep we have the magnificent pleasure of being joined by Main Street Mel (@main.street.mel), a longtime friend of the pod and I can't think of a better person to help fend off all these carnies. Will this amenity and transportation heavy hotel strike the bell of the strong man game, or will its loud over the big top atmosphere have it stuck sitting on the dock of the bay.  There’s only one way to find out!

Today we head on down to the hyper hooch hovel, to drink our cares away and talk funny about all things theme parks. This week Adriane and Ryan get sloshy chattin up some of our favorite listener questions and give out some hard hitting answers. Do we advocate lying about your birthday date at dinner for special treatment.... you bet your sweet Eeyore we do. This ep’s mail call covers a bunch of fun topics from cheap yet special birthday meals, to which rides get the big “K” in our round of park to park F - Marry - Kill.   Our hosts then set their eyes on the great big beyond, the con of cons for the mouse brigade. Our little community’s very own official fan club of Eisner's and Elias's alike, the 2022 D-23 Expo.  And as all good little content creators should, our terrible twosome get all up on their favorite rumors, hopes and dreams for the Parks and Resorts Panel. Will Cheapstack ever open his pocketbook and give us a replacement to the ever so beloved, lost legend, and fan favorite; Primeval Whirl...  To find out, you just gotta listen in.

Today we runaway back to the circus for a second sloshed spin around the big top. Have you seen an elephant fly.... well we have, and it didn’t have anything to do with those weird churros we ate. Join us as the dark ride heads back to Disney vault where we dive even deeper into the question; "Why does Disney want to make me cry so badly"????!!! If you are like me, you may need the help of some pink vodka elephant drinks, and this week you are in luck because we’re sipping on some pachyderms with a punch as we rehash childhood traumas on Dumbo the Flying Elephant! Based on a classic Disney “mom sold into circus slavery” movie, this sweet ride is a Disney Parks staple and Instagram lovers dream. So, will Dumbo soar high through the sky with 15 of his identical friends, or will the controller not work this time and our Ele will have to hang out close to the bottom of the barrel with Timothy the other drunk Disney mouse.? There’s only one way to find out!

This week on an all-new episode of Drunk Distory presents ‘The Dark Ride’, we continue our deep dive into hotels around the theme park world with Drunk Distory's Resort Round Up. On this Episode, get ready to get lost in the great outdoors, in a place that puts the totem into the tentpole of deluxe. Wake to the lake and join us as we head to Disney's Wilderness Lodge.  A deluxe resort so adventurous that like a ‘90s Brad Pitt movie, it has ‘a river runs through it ‘. This “National Parks” spin off will take you out of your tent and put you in the lush surroundings of luxury. Here you will find geyser explosions, 80-foot chimneys and more hidden mickeys than you can shake a stick at. I suppose that at one point in our history shaking sticks at things was a form of entertainment, or a sign of reverence, maybe an action of love & understanding... the world may never know. So will this Northwestern cabin on steroids soar to the rafters of our resort round up like a 55’ hand carved totem pole, or will this gargantuan of glamping, twist its ankle on tolerability. There’s only one way to find out!

Today we find ourselves back in the techie tavern, to cool off our summertime heatstroke and talk funny about all things theme parks. This week Adriane and Ryan get tipsy discussing their favorite time of the year to give Bobby Chapek money. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall Bobbo, all you have to do is call, and we'll be there....that's right, you got a friend. But is that friend a Christmas mouse wrapped up in their winter finery or a summer duck, doing the no pants dance at typhoon lagoon?  Our hosts turned this question to all of our lovely listeners over in the land of clocks and today we tok all about what we found out. Then we head over to the r/disneyworld forum on Reddit to answer some of the hottest questions floating around the internet, are your ears burning, cause we could be talking about your question today.  To find out, you just gotta listen in.

This week, get ready to hit the hay, in a place that puts the zzzzs in zebra.  Rise and shine on the wild side, and join us as we head to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge.  A deluxe resort so adventurous that we needed a little help from our safari guide friend. Today we are joyfully joined by Mike Molinari (@mikemolinari). A disney tribe-s-man with more Tik Tok thirst traps than a crocodile at a watering hole. Antelopes are on alert with todays triple host threat of animal magnetism. This zoo-sational resort will find its love language among the snorts, neighs, and other loud mating calls of our animal brethren. You may want to be careful which viewing platform you are watching this real life discovery channel from. All we are missing now is Sir David Attenborough posting up at the Jambo house check in desk, telling us the differences between a Gemsbok and a Goldfish.  So will this African auberge soar upon wing to the skies of our resort round up, or will this behemoth of Botswana, wallow in the mud hole of mediocrity. There’s only one way to find out!

Today we find ourselves back in the gigabyte gin house, to lap up some loose ones and talk funny about all things theme parks. This week Adriane and Ryan get blind drunk discussing their possible blind allegiance to the world’s most powerful mouse. A recent Rolling Stone Article puts Disney Adults on blast and our dynamic Duo has opinions.  Then to get lighter than a helium balloon on diet pills, these happy hopeless hosts find out all about their personalities on the inside and outside via cartoons….damn...I have to call a real therapist, BuzzFeed is becoming a growing problem in my understanding of me. Could it be that one of our hosts is an internal Lady and external Tramp? Well to find out, you just gotta listen in.
