  • Great show - could use less golf

    Great show! Really look forward to these. However, I find myself constantly having to skip over the first 5-10 minutes to get past golf talk. Probably not an issue for many - just not the topic for me.

Episode #598 - 9-Year-Old First Visit to Disney
Q: Was it worth it for the dining plan with kids?

Episode # 589 - Gary's Trip Review
Q: What dining stood out, would you say?

Episode #584 - The Hype Around Epic Universe
Q: How strange does it feel with Epic being disconnected from the main Universal campus?
You definitely feel you're not getting that world; it takes away from the immersion when you drive around the property.
Episode #584 - The Hype Around Epic Universe
Q: Would you recommend wearing an anti-nausea band at Universal? If you have any type of motion sickness?
For Epic, motion sickness should not be a problem. However, for regular Universal Studios attractions with screens, there may be issues.
