We had no time for anything else except Ron doing battle with a man who got his Internet taken out by a storm, a seriously redneck grocery store customer, a man who wet his pants on a flight, a man who met the rudest flight attendant ever, a man who was missing his brand new Donkey Kong game, a lady who was very upset that her driver petted her dogs and ended herself up in Telecourt and a very racist man who really wanted his fridge magnets. This was a none stop action packed show and we barely had time for anything else! Thank you to all the people that listened live on YouTube and everyone checking out our podcast.

What are some things that you see parents doing in the parks, or not doing, which you think are especially good ideas in terms of going to the parks with young kids, or kids of any age? Question 3: This is episode 33, Club 33 is a thing. Club 33 costs a lot of money, what “that costs way to much” thing would you want to do in within the Disney Sphere? Ideas include Club 33 membership, Galactic Star Cruiser, VIP Tour, Kyburr Crystal drink package, etc. Question 4: In February 2004, Disney acquired “The Muppets” and the “Bear in the Big Blue House” assets from The Jim Henson Company for $75 million … and since then have done nothing with the Muppets IP in the parks. Now you could theme an entire land after the Muppets … but what is one Muppet theming you would bring to the parks. It can be a ride, an attraction, a restauration a show … whatever. Bonus Question: Have you experienced Virtual Queues in the parks and what are your opinions on them?
