Um. I'd like to apologize in advance to those living South, West or East of New York. Summer makes me cranky. :fresh: :blush: :fan: :faint: :hide:

YEA!!! SO exited to get a new podcast - and hear that Carol is back!!
*and don't worry Carol - I get the loathing of the weather...despite my nostalgia for my growing up years in Florida - I can't go now unless it is late Fall, winter, or early Spring. 
(basically Oct - Feb).
Listening to it now... and grinning ear to ear as I hear Christine introduce my sister, Nikki, (*we share this avatar*) after they were at Sounds like Summer.
Christine... can you sing!? it sounds like you can!!
Continuing to listen...
:mickey: Carolyn
DME... I'm with John.. LEAVE it.
While I appreciate that for some people, it is an awesome perk (that feels like it is free)... I just don't like to wait! Waiting to get on the bus, sitting on the bus and waiting for other people to get on the bus...and then waiting for your hotel stop while you go thru everyone else's stop first. and no option to stop for groceries, etc. AND... I recall thinking that we had to leave too early for the airport. Having said that, we did use it for my sister-in-law's family to get back to the airport which allowed the rest of us to hang out a little longer...

Carolyn I cannot sing- I do however tend to warble after a few cocktails. :blush:
My lesson learned should not have been "don't come to the podcast late" but rather "don't come to the podcast AT ALL after spending a day at Epcot drinking around the world with INTERCOTees!! :blush:
Also, yay Texas!!! :cowboy:

no...no.... maybe the hidden lesson is to do the podcast WHILE you are going around the world with Intercotees!! ;) ...and then, you won't be late!
Nikki said you guys had a blast. I love Boston...I would love loved it myself.....maybe next time.. maybe during Food and Wine!?!?
hhmmm.....
:mickey: Carolyn
We did have fun!! Love her!! Boston was great, it was their first time here & I think they're a great addition.
I'm ready for y'all to be closer where you can visit more.

DME, I voted Take It, but honestly we've used Quicksilver for the past few trips (Dolphin stays) and I love avoiding the DME and being greeted and driven straight to my hotel. DME is cool, and free, so I wouldn't pass it up if I had time and patience (which I do on longer trips), but I'm not sure I wouldn't pay for the convenience of having my own driver anyway.

I voted Take It, but I have not had positive experiences with DME lately. The past couple trips my reservation hasn't been in the DME system and the last trip we missed our pickup time because we never got one and by the time we called to check it was too late. A very expensive cab ride later to MCO made me soooo cranky. I know Disney contracts this service out but they need to get their act together. We are using Quicksilver on our upcoming trip because we're flying into Sanford.
~Nikki~
Last Trip: February 2024
Next Trips: April 2024
DME - The correct answer is Take It! Sorry John!
I get that even though it's "Free" we all pay for it. But I figure I'm further ahead to pay the hidden cost and use it than to pay and not use it. Realistically I'm about 50% for when I actually use it. Car rental is always the first choice but sometimes I like immersing into "The World" and not driving or leaving the magic for the duration of the trip.
It was great to have so many of you back together on the same podcast. Maybe next time you can even talk about some Disney related stuff! LOL!!
Was so happy to see the new podcast downloaded onto my i-phone as I set out for a long drive yesterday.
Love Love Love what you guys do! :thumbsup:

DME- LEAVE IT. Just not for us. We pony up the extra dough for Quicksilver.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

Am I crazy, or was there multiple mentions by the Podcast crew that there was no such thing as a one-day park hopper ticket at Disney?
I ask because there is such a thing at Disney...

I was wondering if someone would pick up on that. Used to be that was only an option with third party or specialty convention tickets - but you are correct... you can now add the hopping to a one day ticket.
$35 for add-on to a 1 day Magic Kingdom; $40 for add-on to a 1 day Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom.
Good catch!
