Christine says Take It as well. Mel says in general - Leave It cause we’re cheap! John finally gets to go and says LEAVE IT!
- John wants socks every day
- We try to connect with Maria K from the INTERCOT boards who gives us her first hand experiences with MyMagicBand+. She wonders how you might be able to ride with local friends or family who can’t use the bands once the old FastPass system is gone. Park hopping is discouraged by the way things are set up. What happens if a ride is closed or down due to inclement weather? Do you get that one of your 3 passes back? Wrist band key and payment wise, there is a lot to like. Maria proves John right - NO ONE will cancel their fast passes and put them back into the system. INTERCOT Consulting says - BLING - bump and transfer your fast passes to someone else.
- Quick hit topics… Starbucks at Fountainview is now open. No seating - grab and go. Some coming to Downtown Disney as well.
- California Grill Re-Opens
- Princess Fairytale Hall opening as well
- Gary’s Random Tips - Wet Towels

We're cheap!

And yes.....go to Disneyland!

[Hammer]

And yes.....go to Disneyland!

Eh...I'd would want to go more often if it wasn't in Southern California. I've been to Disneyland a few times, and I do enjoy it, but there is very little else I like in Southern California. Sorry, I'm not trying to offend those who love it there. I know just as many people who dislike where I live or the East Coast in general. It's just different strokes for different folks. I just don't have the desire to fly across the country that often to just spend a few days in Disneyland.

Good podcast, though, folks!

Blasphemy.



Actually, I had that attitude (you know, the Jersey one) too when I first moved to CA. After a couple years, my tune changed drastically. So Cal is paradise. For real.

Can't wait to listen to the podcast!

Is Christine going to burst into flames for saying that? Is she even allowed to say that? Can we get a ruling from the Disney Fan Rulebook?

[Carol]

That's funny, Christine - aside from going to the ocean, we're very content spending the entire week at the parks. Doesn't matter what else is there. I never stray off site when in Florida either. If it weren't for Disney World I'd NEVER go to Florida.

She can say what she wants, Gary. She's just wrong.

Just put on a new hoodie which reminded me of John's sock thing. I just want to go on record with my vote for new hoodies! Soft socks every day would be good. But I just love a new hoodie....all soft inside before they get washed!!! Ahhhhhhh

[Septbride2002]

Take it or leave it: leave it.

Good job on the theme song!

[stephicakes]

John - the sock thing... I GET IT. I spend 2 to 2 1/2 hours a day in the gym weight training and I would give my right bicep to have NEW SOCKS EVERY MORNING. lol Good new socks can be like literally putting on small comfy slippers every time!

Shame on people who don't get it. That is all.

Per the technical difficulties of DL'ing the podcasts I finally got thru this one. "stupid-iTunes!"

mariak - great report. Nice visit to the podcast! We go May2014 and - well guess we'll see if DW and I like the bands or not. You put a great deal of time in your trip with the bands - from what I heard. As CW stated...I'M ON VACATION!!! I doubt I'll take screen shots of my reservations...but nice touch. I will miss the ease of the paper FP! We never abused it but really liked it.

JY - socks...REALLY? OK... How about this twist...go buy 50 pairs of the SAME white and black types socks. AND get rid of all your OTHER socks. This way...no more need to spend time PAIRING them up or ending up with an orphan who's mate is gone! Since they will all NOW match just grab 2 and go! I just saved you time while you bask in the comfort of NEW socks!!! LOL

Carol - WOW nice SLAPSHOTS!!! Did you leave any marks?!?! Great comments and FAST!!! But I still have no real desire to visit DL as of yet. Maybe someday. The travel involved to go west, been in LA before and didn't care much for any of it. I'd rather take another DCL trip in the same year vs. the cash for a west coast DL trip. I just have a bad feeling I'd be let down and feel cramped. "layering" - ummmm...no space IMO. I will say CARS LAND does sound very KEWL! Just'sayn...

Take it or leave it... LEAVE IT! DW and I spend like NO time in our resort room. CW you should have had a stroller years back! LOL We have no qualms about walking. YES you will WALK all day at any park. We use the room for down time and yes to sleep and freshen up and that's about it. I like JY's comment...but I'll take merchandise instead or an extra day or 2 for the vacation vs. the extra out-laying of cash for a fancy view in the same resort. Now a BUMP in resort - that's different but not the same as preferred rooms.

All in all great podcast. Theme song...nice effort...but not enough to make me hum or whistle it all day.

[John]

PS. My socks already are 90% the same....
