It’s true. It can be done. In this episode, we are ranking the lands in Disney’s Magic Kingdom from our most-loved to least-loved. Before you listen, please be aware that this is not a definitive ranking, and even we found ourselves at times wishing we had chosen differently! But, it was fun discussing old memories attached to each land in this historical and fantastical park, and we hope that you’ll nod and giggle along with us.
Let us know what your current ranking is of the lands at Disney’s Magic Kingdom as we’d love to hear! You can find us on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, and as always, be sure to write a review if you’re listening on Apple Podcasts and share the show with your pals as it really helps to get the word out. | |||
| EP 44: Our Dream Disney Date | 27 May 2021 | 00:35:25 | |
Yes guys, we did an episode on our dream date in Walt Disney World. That said, if you’ve followed us from the start, you’ll know that fantasising about outings with our ~non-existant~ significant others is kind of something we tend to do. In all seriousness, this was a really fun episode to record which had us take you through our ideal things to do, places to be, food to eat when heading on a date with someone special. This isn’t specifically about first dates, anniversary dates, makeup dates (you know the ones), but instead, we are just keeping it to a casual date. Or not-so-casual, it depends how wild you think we’ve gone with our plans! Let us know the Disney dates you’ve been on, or would love to go on during your next visit! You can find us on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, and as always, be sure to write a review if you’re listening on Apple Podcasts and share the show with your pals as it really helps to get the word out. | |||

| EP 40: Ranking Disney Transportation (From Most Loved to Least Loved) | 08 Apr 2021 | 00:47:02 | |
Oh yeah, we made an episode about Disney Transportation, and we are PROOOUUDD of it! We’ve been visiting the World since 2004, and have watched the many magical forms of transportation evolve and expand over the years, and in this episode, we’re ranking our most loved to least loved ways to get around Walt Disney World. In this conversation, we mention travelling by foot, bus, monorail, boat and Skyliner, and briefly touch on the option to travel by Minnievan, although we’ve not used this yet. Let us know what your most-loved and least loved modes of WDW transport are, as well as the memories attached to them, via Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, and as always, be sure to write a review if you’re listening on Apple Podcasts and share the show with your pals as it really helps to get the word out.

| EP 39: Ranking The Pavilions In World Showcase (From Favourite to Least Favourite) | 01 Apr 2021 | 01:02:22 | |
Ok so, the sun is out in the UK and that can only mean one thing – Disney daydreaming vibes are in full swing. At this time of year, we usually crank up the Epcot Master Mix (search for that on YouTube!) to set the mood and transport us to World Showcase whilst we work in the day, and help us to wind down in the evening. It had us thinking and chatting about World Showcase with a focus on ranking the pavilions from our favourite to least favourite. We based our decision on Entertainment, Attractions, Food & Drink, Shopping, and Cultural Aesthetics! Please note that we by no means believe that there is a pavilion that’s the “worst”, as a lot of our lower choices have been at the top at some point, and we fully expect our higher choices to change over time! Let us know your ranking and why via the comments! And, if you feel that we were totally WRONG on our choices, tell us why and change our minds. You can find us on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, and as always, be sure to write a review if you’re listening on Apple Podcasts and share the show with your pals as it really helps to get the word out. Thanks, and enjoy the show. | |||
| EP 38: What We Took For Granted In Walt Disney World | 18 Mar 2021 | 00:45:11 | |
This episode is inspired by a recent conversation on the Best & Worst podcast, where The DIS team spoke on all the things they didn't appreciate enough in Walt Disney World before the pandemic. For this discussion, we reflected on the simple delights, unique features, and experiential moments that they wish they'd given more love and attention to both before the pandemic and back to their earlier trips to Walt Disney World. Thanks, and enjoy the show.
