It is Tuesday, January 12th, 2016, and this is wee little episode zero of Backside of Magic.

I'm your co-host Ryan.

Backside of Magic is a podcast focused on the discussion of how to get the most out of your time at Walt Disney World.

We're going to consider every available advantage during the planning and once on the

ground. Discussions don't work well with only one person, so I'll be joined each week by my co-host.

Hey, that's me. Hi, everybody. I'm Jeremy, and I will be here every week when I don't have

something better to do, so I will probably be here every week.

Each of those weeks, we will do things like analyze and test pre-arrival strategies,

the latest in-park systems, and discuss significant money-saving tricks that actually work in an effort to determine the best ways to maximize fun and minimize costs.

We have successfully pushed the envelope a bit at times

and are willing to dabble in the grayer areas of getting the most out of a vacation.

That's kind of what we do, right, Ryan?

Absolutely. I mean, we're pretty much in constant Disney trip planning mode for not only ourselves, but for our friends and our extended family.

We've had trips to both coasts, and we've had a lot of exposure going back to going to Disney, probably going all the way back to the early 80s.

I think I remember that my first trip, I distinctly actually remember, that Epcot was like only half built.

And there were many lands that were behind walls.

And I was disappointed as a, what is it, seven-year-old or something of that nature.

But on the more recent side of things, you and I are almost daily in contact with each other, discussing tips and tricks,

figuring out how to get the most out of our planning.

And our aim is with this podcast is to share those tips with you, the listener.

And we hope that you'll chime in, too, with things that maybe we hadn't thought of

and to further our knowledge.
