March 01, 2023 Episode 82: Ready for Take Off: Airport Hotels & Lounges - March 2023
The 1st March show from the Great British Mickey Waffle sees some of the team looking forward to a summer of holidays, travel and the Disney 100 celebrations.
With Robyn & Simon absent having just returned from their trip to FARTS (Festival of the Arts), Claire rallies the troops to chat about some important considerations before you even board your aircraft!
We start with our new monthly countdown segment we are calling Journey to a Century - Ben takes us through the comings and goings of the first decade of the Disney Company and we hear how it all began for Walt and Roy.
Each month we will be following their journey of success, failure, and everything in between as we journey up to the present day.
Then, as a follow up to last month’s chat about the airports for arrival, we discuss the option of staying at, or near the airport the night before you depart - and where our favourite hot spots are to extend your trip by another day.
Inside the terminal, we discuss the benefits, pricing and options for an airport lounge experience - can you guess which of the team would like to take advantage of a lounge?
