Aaaaand, we're back! And Welcome to the show "Real Dan". Gone are the days of that leftist woke pleb that is the character Dan has been playing for all these years and here are the days of the real dan telling it like it is.

Erik and Jimmy share the details and occasionally problematic history of the 4 moderate hotels at The Walt Disney World Resort. From the original moderate Disney's Caribbean Beach to the newer convention resort in Disney's Coronado Springs. We also discuss the history of Port Orleans with the French Quarter and the Splash Mountain esque Riverside (Formerly known as Dixie Landings) complete with confederate flags and cotton plantation vibes. Real Dan of course has no problem with any of it, until they got too woke and made it more inclusive and less "slavey"

Enjoy! Something for everyone!

Did you know there are hotels around the Disney resorts? I sure hope you listened to the last few episodes.

We moved on to the next level. It's time for Moderate resorts, or as Disneyland Good Neighbor Hotels would consider themselves, Deluxe.

Strap in, everybody. We're offering some prime travel tips for the next few weeks. And as the song says, someday we'll talk about rides again. We swear.

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.
