What if there was no right or wrong answer…only where you stand?854 · Disney In or Out - Pick a Side on These Disney DebatesIn this episode of Disney In or Out, we have a fast-paced, passionate conversation about the Disney topics fans love to debate.From Star Wars Galaxy's Edge and Magic Kingdom attractions to Marvel after Avengers Endgame, we explore the Disney debates fans care about most and why they strike such an emotional chord.This is Disney In or Out at its best - thoughtful, fun, nostalgic, and unapologetically opinionated.I'm joined by Lisa Dinoto Glassner and Matthew Woolley, and our conversation also takes a thoughtful turn into Disney leadership, as we explore what comes after Bob Iger and whether Disney's future might depend on rethinking how the CEO role itself is structured.It's not about being right… it's about why we as Disney fans care so deeply, and what our opinions reveal about nostalgia, storytelling, and the future of Disney.And the best part is that you can play along, pick your side, and share your take in the WDW Radio Clubhouse or on the voicemail.

852 · The State of the Disney Parks: What 2025 Changed and Why 2026 MattersIf you had to describe Disney in 2025 and what it means for 2026, what word would you choose?2025 wasn't a year defined by massive new attractions. Instead, it was a year of movement, transition, and emotional goodbyes. Lands closed. Atmospheres shifted. Comfort gave way to construction. And for many fans, it felt like Disney was asking us to trust what comes next.This is not simply another 2025 Disney year in revue and look ahead to or predictions for 2026. This week, we have a very honest, thoughtful conversation about Disney in 2025 and what it means for 2026. We look at what closed, what opened, what surprised us emotionally, and why this year may end up being one of the most important setup years in Disney history. We also explore what Disney needs to deliver in 2026 to make all of this feel worth it.Join the conversation, share your memories, and be part of the WDW Radio community.

We are a little nervous about this one… Today, we’re talking all about our upcoming couples cruise on Virgin Voyages. Sailing out of Miami, we are embarking on a 5-night Caribbean sailing with Virgin, an adult-only cruise line where you won’t find anyone under the age of 18. We are really excited about all of the food, which Virgin has come to be known for, and cautiously optimistic about some of the more….interesting entertainment offerings. Enjoy!

Walt Disney World is heading into a major transition year with a lot of construction happening, and 2026 is shaping up to change how families plan their trips. In this episode of the Adventures of a Disney Dad Podcast, we break down everything we know so far about what's coming to Walt Disney World in 2026 and what it actually means for real families.

In this week's episode, I'm joined by two former cast members for the Walt Disney Company. Robby and Jillian had several different roles throughout the years they spent with TWDC, and it was fun to discuss those with them. Robby had the unique priviledge of introducing Captain America to Disney Cruise Line, so we discuss that experience, as well. They also recently cruised with some extended family on the Magic from Galveston, so we had LOTS to talk about! I hope you enjoy.  Happy New Year!
