The Supreme Resort

In this, the final episode of the value resort saga, we explore the history or herstory of the 8 remaining value resorts in the Disneyland resort area 1/2 mile or more away from the resort.

We explore in more detail than you would care to know the Stovall inn family of brands and their history. Is there a coco's at the southwest corner of Katella and Disneyland drive? This is the kind of riveting history and detail we explore.

Come on, you listen to this show, you know what to expect by now.

There are a lot of value resorts. We had no intention of making this a 3 part series, but here we are. The first episode covered the 9 Disneyland good neighbor hotels within half mile from the transportation hub. This episode covers the 5 WDW value resorts, the history and detail therein.

Also, Jimmy just returned from a trip to Disneyland Paris and he drones on about that for a while, hence the title of this episode.

We suggest you open google maps and explore the value resorts there while Erik describes it all, it makes for an even more enjoyable listening experience.

Enjoy!

Everyone is covering D23 from August of 2024. It's been done. We are above such low hanging fruit.

Who are we kidding? Low hanging fruit is the easiest to pick, that's where that phrase comes from. Being the show we are, we discuss the D23 expo and all the domestic parks announcements but we decide which resort won D23 and all the announcements.

 OK people. We are almost complete with our comparison of the Hollywood themed lands. We just have to cover the Disney Jr live on stage without violating certain hosts "restraining orders" We'll get there..

In the meantime, here is an episode about the shops in each of these lands.

Jimmy and Erik argue with Dan as to which is the supreme shopping experience. Dan is a Disneyland homer, you'll never guess which wins!!

We are close to finishing up our comparison of the Supreme Hollywood themed lands at either Disney California Adventure or Disney Hollywood Studios (MGM). They are none of them great, but which is the worst? The best? You decide. No, wait, we decide. Enjoy! The episode, not the food, cause....gross!

We begin this episode as a sequel of sorts from a recent episode of The Hub Crawl Podcast. Jimmy and his sons Alex and Paxton discuss their recent trip to Disneyland and overcoming fears of new attractions.

We finish by covering the Frontierland shootin' arcades and other similar attractions in the parks past.

Because the Magic Kingdom version is about to become a DVC lounge, will it reign supreme? Or is it better as a arcade game?

What does VIP mean to you? It means Very Interesting Podcast as far as we are concerned. We had some incredible opportunities over the last few months. Dan, Erik, and Jimmy enjoyed the Disneyland Railroad Guided Tour last week. Within the past few months, Dan and Erik have both taken the Walt's Main Street Story guided tour and Erik alone (with nine other people) spent a whole day with a VIP tour guide.

We delve into these experiences in our latest episode. We hope you enjoy our antics. We will revisit the Walt Disney World tours at a later date when we have had more time to explore!

Oh, and we got silhouettes cut on Main Street.
