Send us a textA Halloween drink in hand and 13 Disney nightmares on deck—this one leans delightfully spooky. We start with a DIY sangria riff worthy of Disney Springs: Pinot Noir softened by pear liqueur, Cointreau, apple juice, and those gummy eyeballs that stare back. Then we push straight into the chills and chuckles: stuck-ride purgatory with looping music, the sudden dread of being named Rebel Spy right after a Dole Whip, and the slow horror of a limited-edition popcorn bucket rolling into the crowd during fireworks, never to return.From there, we get bolder. Imagine outdoor-only queues with no shade or fans. Picture an app that nags you to book Lightning Lanes when all you want is to eat. Consider step limits that end your park day at 10,000 and turn zigzag lines into strategic minefields. And yes, we talk food—because nothing shakes a Disney loyalist like messing with snacks. How about fenced eating zones with 15-minute time caps? Or a property-wide pivot to pickle-flavored everything: churros, shakes, beignets, even a briny breakfast wrap. We also mourn the idea of beloved staples disappearing and debate what happens when the only ice cream is divisive. It's funny until it isn't.We keep it human with the small moments that sting: kids correcting your lore with absolute certainty, balloon-photo pileups that halt foot traffic, and the Skyliner pausing midair while strangers share your glass cube. We even let Figment judge our snack choices from the walls and joke about a Jar Jar mover ride that tests patience and canon. Under the laughs is a real point: the magic relies on freedom, variety, and tiny kindnesses that keep the day feeling effortless. Take those away, and the happiest place gets a little haunted.If you're here for theme park talk with humor, honesty, and a dash of Halloween, you're in the right place. Press play, sip something spooky, and tell us your own Disney nightmare. And hey—if you're enjoying the show, tap follow, share it with a park pal, and leave a quick review so more fans can find us.

We are excited to head to upstate New York today to speak with Listener Brett about a very special trip! Brett is a huge Disney Parks fan who spent many days in his youth at Walt Disney World, but hasn't been to the parks in years. His wife (who grew up in Orlando) isn't a huge Disney Parks fan, so this trip was a long time coming for Brett. Brett's mom wanted to celebrate her 75th birthday with the family at Walt Disney World, so Brett put a great 3-day extravaganza together, staying at Disney's Coronado Springs, using Lightning Lanes at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Disney's Hollywood Studios, having meals at Crystal Palace, Maya Grill, and more! There were ups and downs, but it was a trip for the ages! I think you will really enjoy the show! It has a lot of heart! We hope you can continue the conversation with us this week in the Be Our Guest Podcast Clubhouse at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse! Thank you so much for your support of our podcast!
