Wandering the World with Walt

Hello! We are back with a new episode all about the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser. Or as my mom might call it "That Star Wars Hotel". Mike isn't able to record, but we have one heck of a substitute, Dan Zehr from the Coffee With Kenobi podcast. We discuss the ins and out, the must dos and is it worth the price?? We have more episodes coming soon! So share us with a friend and leave a review, thanks!

Hi Folks! This is one of two lost episodes we are dropping in the feed. But it's an evergreen topic about where to go for dining in Walt Disney World when all the "popular" spots are already taken. Question of the day is back, and we find out which of the Disney and or Pixar Shorts are the best! Let us know in the comments where your go to spot to grab food when you can't get one of the cool reservations.

The team records a quick bonus episode to cover some of the new episodes the missed while on Hiatus and falls backwards into one of the biggest Disney news stories of the last decade. We all bring our thoughts to the replacement of Bob Chapek with Bob Iger 

We're back baby! News of demise has been greatly exaggerated. We share where we've been (literally and figuratively) and what's next. Plus Ashley is able to give us our first ever Adventures by Disney report. Don't be jealous, I'm already jealous enough for everyone.

The team discussing their picks for nearby weekend getaway cities. Things to do, of course places to eat. Also, Ashley knows more about Disneyland than she thought she did. Steve has big Super Nintendo World update news and Mike is into obscure German towns.

The team has either been to or is going to be at Disneyland (but in larger scale of life, isn't that true for all of us? Think about it). As such, Ashley and Steve have Disneyland questions and Mike has Disneyland answers... or at least opinions that are declared like facts. Also, Steve talks about his favorite Horror movie song, Ashley has big news for littles ones going to Aulani and Mike apparently introduces the world to Lumpia.

It's Mike's turn at telling us some Walt Disney World history, so of course we are playing 80's Disney Trivial Pursuit. Who will win Ashley or Steve? The winners are the friends we made along the way. Also, Steve has some big news for Hawaii, Ashley talks up the Kilimanjaro Safari and Mike predicted the future.

We go through the menu on the Main Dining Restaurants on Disney Cruise Line and give you our picks (and few of the things we'd skip). In addition, Mike has a year long timeline for the Guardians of the Galaxy, Steve talks about HBO in 80s and Ashley won't drink Gin.
