We are excited to head to upstate New York today to speak with Listener Brett about a very special trip! Brett is a huge Disney Parks fan who spent many days in his youth at Walt Disney World, but hasn't been to the parks in years. His wife (who grew up in Orlando) isn't a huge Disney Parks fan, so this trip was a long time coming for Brett. Brett's mom wanted to celebrate her 75th birthday with the family at Walt Disney World, so Brett put a great 3-day extravaganza together, staying at Disney's Coronado Springs, using Lightning Lanes at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Disney's Hollywood Studios, having meals at Crystal Palace, Maya Grill, and more! There were ups and downs, but it was a trip for the ages! I think you will really enjoy the show! It has a lot of heart!

We are excited to head out to Ohio today to speak with Listener Patrick about his trip with his two sons and wife to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani Village on today's show! We hear about a trip before this one where he surprised his sons before we really get rolling with today's trip report that is very special too! During the trip report, we hear why he chose Kidani over Jambo House, highlights of touring all four theme parks, using the DAS system, dining with children that have special dietary concerns, building in "break days" that are still just as fun as the rest of the trip, and ending the trip with a big "Birthday Celebration" at the Magic Kingdom!

This is the Live Call-in Show from this past Wednesday afternoon, February 26, 2025! Mike was flying solo as he jumped on since he missed the Sunday night show due to the State Cheerleading Championships. Today, Mike discusses something he has noticed over the past month at Walt Disney World. It's something Apple uses in their software cycle that they call a "tik/toc" cycle, and I think that maybe Disney has adopted this "for the short-term" in the theme parks, and I like it! We also get some calls about future discounts on the hotels at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, as well as previews for trips to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Disneyland this next week!
