For me there are two main things I look forward to on a Walt Disney World vacation. The first is of course being back in the theme parks. The second is getting to stay at a Disney resort. As I get older the latter of the two is something I look forward to more and more. In many aspects the Disney resort might be my favorite part favorite part of the vacation. We’ve talked alot about the reopened theme parks recently but since the resort stay is such a big part of any Walt Disney World vacation I think it’s time to share some opinions on what it’s like to stay at a Disney resort in this new world we live in. On this episode I am joined by my parents, Tim and Sue Brown, who just got back from a stay at the Wilderness Lodge and they’re sharing their opinions on it.

When Walt Disney had the idea to create Disneyland the main premise was to create a place where the whole family could have fun. Not a place filled with just attractions for kids. Or a place filled with crazy rides that the young ones couldn’t participate in. But a place that every member of the family could go on and enjoy. Over the years, yes they’ve added quite a bit of attractions that have a height requirement but there are still plenty of options for the entire family to enjoy. It’s weird because with each new attraction that gets announced, especially in the last few years, the majority of them will have a height requirement.So we get super excited about the thrill rides. For many kids the first time they are tall enough to ride Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, or Expedition Everest or Flight of Passage is always a big deal. But there are still so many great options that anyone and everyone can enjoy regardless of their height. And that’s what we are discussing here today. We’ve got our Power Rankings of the best non-height requirement attractions at Walt Disney World. Learn More About This Episode By Visiting The Show Notes Page Here

So when this whole pandemic started we kind of stopped talking about the news here on the WDW Opinion podcast. Mainly because things were constantly changing but also because for a while we knew we just weren’t going to get a whole lot of news coming our way. Well in the last week and a half I think we’ve gotten the most amount of news, since maybe like D23 last year. Just an onslaught of information. Today we’re going to try to talk about all of it but rather than just regurgitate the info, we also want to share our opinions on it, hence the name of the show, but also we want to talk to you about how all this info might affect your future Walt Disney World vacations.

Walt Disney World theme parks have been closed for three months now. Their reopening plans are in place. It will still take awhile to get back to 100% normal. But that light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer and closer. And other theme parks in Orlando have started to reopen. But alas, as someone who does not live in Orlando I have been unable to visit these places. Yet, thanks to the power of the glorious internet I have been able to follow along and live vicariously as others have forged a path into these other theme parks as they reopen. One individual I keep turning to whenever he launches a new video, is joining us today. We’re going to talk about his experiences in these reopened theme parks and I can’t wait to hear from him. He is Vincent from VincentVision and I’m very happy to have him on the show.

Power Rankings: The Roller Coasters of Walt Disney World - WDW Opinion Ep. 83 There's a stigma that Disney World doesn't have enough thrill rides and in particular they don’t have enough good coasters. When compared to a Six Flags or a Cedar Fair park, that would be true. But just because you can’t see a brightly colored coaster track towering in the distance from the parking lot, doesn't mean that Disney World doesn’t have any good coasters. On the contrary in fact. Some of the best roller coasters in the world can be found in a Disney theme park. In this episode we review each roller coaster in Walt Disney World and give our overall rankings.

Five Disney World Attractions We Want to Get Stuck On - WDW Opinion Ep. 64 A trip to Disney World is one filled with happy times. There are attractions to be rode, shows to be seen, food to be consumed and fun to be had. Just like everything else in life, there can be hiccups and uncontrollable events thrown into your Disney vacation that can force you to zig when you wanted to zag. When it comes to attractions, these are huge complicated mechanical systems with a ton of moving parts. So whether it’s human error or mechanical mixups, attractions can break down. Sometimes preventing you from riding, sometimes having you get stuck on one of them. But why do we want to get walked off a ride? Because our fandom demands that we know everything we can about this place. Join the WDW Opinioneers Community Want to learn more about what an Opinioneer is? Explore the community here.

The Pros and Cons Of Screen Based Attractions - WDW Opinion Ep. 63 Back in the day when you entered a theme park the only place you’d see screens would be for a 3-d movie or a pre-show film before you boarded an attraction. Screens weren’t really intended for the theme parks, leave those to the movie theaters. But as the years past more and more screens started to make their way into the parks. For good or bad screens are now an integral part of the today’s theme park experience. And they’re something creative teams turn to in order to enhance the park experience. Screens have come a long way in recent years and in this episode we’ll be discussing the pros and cons of screens and how they’ll impact the parks in years to come. Plus there’s a change up coming to Marvel’s leadership and we go on a rant because Disney has changed the names of the food offerings at Docking Bay 7 in Galaxy's Edge All that and more on this episode of the WDW Opinion Podcast.

One of the best things about this Disney fan community that we’re all apart of is the freedom people have to showcase their passion for Disney in a variety of ways. And in a community filled with incredibly creative and talented people you know that there are going to be some incredible works to come from this passion. Our guest, Tony Cortese, is a perfect example of what occurs when you combine your talent and creativity with your Disney passion and focus it into a project. In his case the medium he chooses to showcase his passion for Disney is film. And he is very good at it. I first discovered his work when I watched a film called The Dreamfinders. I choose to watch that film because it was all about Disney World and its incredible fan base but I continue to rewatch it because of the story he was able to capture in it. He’s got a new film debuting this week and it is all about Walt Disney and the creation of Epcot. We’ve got a great discussion ahead and a lot to talk about. Plus the Skyliner has an accident in its first week and the soon to be the greatest film ever made, Jungle Cruise, gets its first trailer. All that and more on this episode of the WDW Opinion Podcast. Stories discussed in News to Opinion Details emerge about people taken to hospital after Disney World Skyliner incident Could 'Jungle Cruise' Launch a 'Pirates'-Style Franchise? Walt Disney - Master of Dreamers: The Road to Epcot Learn more about the film here and if you’ll be in Orlando on October 17 or 24 you can see it at the Orlando Film Festival.

Everything You Need to Know About the Disney Skyliner - WDW Opinion Ep. 61 Buses, boats, trams, minivans and monorails. There are a ton of ways to get around the Walt Disney World resort. And a lot of the times they can be considered attractions themselves. Transportation is one thing but enjoy how you get from a to b is part of the fun when it comes to traveling around Disney. This past week the newest form of transportation opened in Disney World and it signifies a huge shift in the way we’ll soon be getting around the entire resort. The Disney Skyliner had its naysayers when it was first announced and as more details emerged people continued to be skeptical. But even only in its first week it has won many of those naysayers over. In this episode of WDW Opinion we’ll be discussing just what it is like to ride the Skyliner, how it works and how it might change the future of transportation at Disney World. Now I will preface this by saying this segment was recorded before an incident occurred on the Skyliner system. This past Saturday there appeared to be a pile up of the gondolas in the Riviera Resort station. I would classify it as a crash as they looked to be more stuck to one another than anything but, the incident did cause the Skyliner to be down for 3 hours. Leaving guests stranded in the cars above for that time frame. Luckily, no one was hurt in the incident and Disney has taken care of each guest who was stuck in each car, giving them some park hoppers, $100 gift cards and comping their taxis to their final destinations. With all that being said, it's an unfortunate incident but we have to keep in mind that this is a new system and a new style of transportation that has never been used in Disney World before. Right now I hope this is a one time occurrence and I’ll be treating it as such until otherwise. Currently the system is down as Disney investigates what went wrong. But for me once this comes back on line, I'll be eager to give it another ride. Plus Early Morning Magic is returning to the Magic Kingdom and Disney Visa Cardholders can get a special offer on rooms at the Riviera Resort. All that and more on this episode of the WDW Opinion Podcast.

The Best Stories Told on Walt Disney World Attractions - WDW Opinion Ep. 60 Disney is the best storytelling company period. Yes, this podcast might be called WDW Opinion but that statement is a WDW Fact. For nearly 100 years Disney has revolutionized storytelling and has given us some of the most iconic characters in history. They’ve done this in their movies, of course. Whether it be Snow White, Pinoccio, Beauty and the Beast, the Lion King, Frozen and of course anything to do with Mickey Mouse himself, Disney are the experts when it comes to storytelling on the big and little screens. When Disneyland first opened a huge appeal it had was the ability to visit the scenes and worlds where some of your favorite stories took place. While some attractions are merely a retelling of the classic films, there are plenty of unique stories that Disney theme park attractions around the world tell themselves. And that is exactly what we are going to talk about today. What are the Disney attractions that tell the best stories? From beginning, to middle, to end, these are the stories we love the most when it comes to Disney attractions. Plus a Disneyland Paris guest has a bad trip. Changes are coming to the Disney Parks leadership. And Disney has announced hundreds of new plant based dining options coming to Disney World and Disneyland. All that and more on this episode of WDW Opinion. Stories discussed in News to Opinion Catherine Powell, President of Disney Parks Western Region, Leaving Walt Disney Company Disney names new leadership for Disneyland and Walt Disney World Hundreds of Plant-Based Dishes are Coming to Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts!

What It’s Like to Stay in the New Gran Destino Tower - WDW Opinion Ep. 59 Today we’ll be talking about the Coronado Springs resort YET AGAIN, but not without stellar reason. Once described as “a celebration of ancient Mexico and the southwest americas, Coronado Springs now traverses the atlantic and has tied in Spanish culture. Because that makes sense. But through the blend of conventioning and cultures and vacationers and transport that just doesn’t quite work — Coronado Springs is just plain beautiful.

Crowd Free Disney World: September 2019 Trip Report - WDW Opinion Ep. 58 Right now Disney World is experiencing extremely low crowds. There are a number of reasons for this but all you need to know is if you are headed down in the next few weeks, prepare to experience relatively empty parks. What can you accomplish in this time frame? Hank talks about his trip last week where the theme was pretty much “walk on to any attraction you want”. He also shares his first impressions of Gran Destino Tower at Coronado Springs and Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios.

Everything You Need to Know About Disney+ - WDW Opinion Ep. 57 At the beginning of every show I let you know what WDW Opinion’s mission statement is. Yes we're here to share our Disney opinions with you and in return we ask that you share your Disney opinions with your fellow Opinioneers but in doing so we hope you can achieve two things. To one help you plan for and two day dream about your next perfect Disney World vacation. Growing up as a die-hard Disney fan I always tried to seek out as much Disney content as I could to help fill the Mickey sized hole in my heart that occurred in between trips. Movies, shows, books and so much more helped me pass the time when I wasn’t in Disney. Well, I think Disney completely understands this and they are ready to make sure that Disney fans around the world won’t have to go too far in order to feel the magic. In fact they’re looking to bring as much magic as they can right to your very own TV, computer or smart device. Disney+ is a streaming service that looks to be turning the industry on its head. Everything from the price, the content, the delivery of said content and so much more is breaking new ground in the streaming world. By the time this podcast goes live on Monday, September 9, 2019 there are only 63 days left until Disney+ officially goes live. While there will be many more announcements coming in the weeks leading up to the launch and we are bound to get more details about future content in the years to come, but for now Hank and I decided that now is as good a time as any to discuss the series and films we are most excited for that are coming to this new streaming service. So grab your popcorn because today we bingeing on all the Disney+ news we know. Plus we also discuss the opening of the 2019 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival and we share our thoughts on a new Florida Resident ticket Disney is offering.

All the Disney, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar Studios News from D23 - WDW Opinion Ep. 56 With so much park related news lately it can be hard to forget that Disney is first and foremost a film company. Now over the years it has of course become an entertainment powerhouse branching into TV, publishing, sports, soon to be streaming and theme parks and destinations but in the beginning it was film. Today, film still plays a huge part (maybe the biggest) part in the company’s performance. And the stories we are so excited to see play out in the parks are stories that originated from the films Disney has had their hand in making. During D23 last week there were huge Disney+ announcements and big parks reveals. But this year many felt the studios panel at D23, which in years past has been among the most highly anticipated features, fell a little flat. While we didn’t get big reveals from D23, there is still a ton to talk about when it comes to both the live action and animated films Disney has in the works. Today we will be discussing the slate of films currently in progress and will give you our WDW Opinions on where we still the studios going. Plus we also share our thoughts on all the crazy stories coming out of the opening of the Orlando wing of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
