Summary
We have a full show planned for you this week. We have a full review of SpringHill Suites - Orlando at Flamingo Crossing and TownePlace Suites at Flamingo Crossing. Both are great options when you want to stay off site but still very close to the parks. Rob and Kerri share the types of rooms available, the features of the hotel and all about the freebies included with your resort stay.
It's Disney's Animal Kingdom 20th Anniversary April 22. So we thought, this week would be a great opportunity to bring some fun details and things to look for on your next trip in the parks. So, we invited Brian Collins, former Disney imagineer and owner of WDwithME.com, to stroll with us around Animal Kingdom Park and point a few out. To see photos of the places he shared with us, please check out our blog post.
To hire Brian for a walk with an imagineer at Disney World, please visit his website.
And you won't want to miss Rob's Rant this week and his sound advice for the next time you plan to see your favorite 80s band.
We also are holding a giveaway for a $25 Gift Card to MyDIStee.com. As mentioned in the show, to enter or for more details, go here. ENTER GIVEAWAY
