Passholder

Episode 33: The Times They Are A-Changing

We start the second of our two news-heavy episodes with offering our support to those who are and have been suffering under the racial tension occurring within the nation. We then give our usual updates on Disney + viewing, bouncing between a Documentary, a classic cartoon, and the “next, next, next gen” of High School Musical-style film. Our news for the week dives into the exclusive Passholder experience during Universal Studio Orlando’s opening dates. Following this, Disney Parks divulges some more of the changes expected to come as they plan their re-opening, while making a major announcement regarding (among other things) temporary removal of the FastPass system.

Episode 13: Diving Into the Unknown

It’s the dawn of a new decade, and we can only imagine how much Disney awaits us in the years to come! We ring in the new year with an episode covering a lot of “Unknowns”! In the updates for our upcoming trips – we will experience both a new hotel, and new dining reservations. We then give our “hot” take on Frozen II – does it live up to the hype? Our news this week covers an interesting new dining experience coming to Epcot this winter, followed by a surprising new Run Disney announcement. The episode is concluded by discussing a event we have not gone to, (but wish we could); the International Festival of the Arts in Epcot.

To those we missed over the break, Happy New Year! And to everyone who has returned, thank you for listening — we’re glad you followed us into 2020, and are excited to see what the future has in store! May you be blessed with health, happiness, and as much Disney as you can get!
