    We are excited to have Taylor from Edmonton, Alberta joining us on today's show to share his recent trip down to Walt Disney World with us! We hear about his split-stay to both Disney's Coronado Springs Resort at Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort! We discuss fun times in all four theme parks, using Premier Pass on two of those days, enjoying the details that sell the "immersion" of the experience, as well some fine dining and tips for folks that have specific dietary needs! This and much more on today's show! We hope you can continue the conversation with us this week in the Be Our Guest Podcast Clubhouse at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse!
