Summary
850 · Disney Q&A: Hidden Magic & Helpful Advice
What Disney question have you always wanted answered?
This week, we try something brand new as we answer a wide variety of your Disney listener questions and tips in a fresh, fun, and faster format.
We talk about the choices you face when planning your next Disney adventure. We look at Disney Cruise Line decisions like the Destiny vs. the classic ships, the things we wish Disney would bring back, the experiences we think are underrated, our favorite dining rooms at sea, the best souvenirs we have ever taken home, and the tiny details in the parks that bring us joy.
More than that, we talk about why these questions matter and how your stories and messages continue to shape the heart of the WDW Radio community.
If you love learning, exploring, planning, laughing, and discovering something new each time you visit a park or a ship, this is for you. And if you have your own thoughts or questions, I would love to hear from you.
