Great podcast. I really enjoy them all.
So, you were mentioning how WDW is trending toward all Fastpass, all the time, and they don't want any lines longer than 15 min, no standby...etc.
This got me to thinking...if they remove the ability to standby for an attraction, they are at the same time removing my ability to repeat an attraction....SO, how is this different from the ticket books they had in the beginning? Let's just issue the ticket books, one ride per attraction. Problem solved. Ding Ding Ding - Intercot Consulting! (just kidding- sort of)

John - the tour you were talking about was the Behind the Magic tour (I'm pretty sure that was the name). It was a full day and took you to 3 of the 4 parks. I took the tour twice, and both tours were slightly different. The last time I took it, the price was $199.
I loved that tour and would actually like to do it again as it's been about 8 years since the last time. However, we had a substitute tour guide the second time, and I had to correct him twice. Privately of course, as I didn't want to embarass him. He pointed to the shells of the Mickey Mania parade and tried to tell us they were from Tapestry of Dreams parade. But otherwise, the tours were excellent!
BTW - Shawn needs a radio show. He's got a great "radio" voice!

This is purely my opinion(no inside information) but I think WDW has gotten stuck trying to milk what they see as their most profitable customer base (the people who are on their once in a lifetime trip). These people tend to spend more because they don't know if they will ever be back so they buy the souvenirs , the expensive meals, the special tickets because they are trying to experience it all. These people don't know what it was like before and probably won't be back.
I think this is short sighted but it appears. To be working for them for now because for every regular who doesn't want to come back there are more than enough first timers.

Just checking the podcast forum to make sure I hadn't missed one. I really enjoyed these last few episodes!
My 2 cents:
Tours - take them!
Over planning of WDW - why I haven't been in over 2 years and have no trips on the horizon. I will stick to the west coast for the foreseeable future where I can walk up to character meals even on busy days!!!
Oh and glad to hear that Soarin' (WDW) will finally get a new film - hasn't that been rumored since the attraction went in?
