In this episode, I sit down with Reuben Fine, who leads OEM partnerships at CallRevu, to dive into a critical yet often overlooked aspect of dealership success: phone calls. Did you know that 30-40% of dealership calls go unanswered? That's a staggering number of missed opportunities that could dramatically impact sales and service outcomes. Reuben and I explore how dealerships can leverage technology, recorded calls, and insights to transform their phone handling processes. We discuss how OEMs are evolving their approach by collaborating with tech partners to improve phone efficiency, sales processes, and customer experience. Reuben also introduces exciting tools like CallRevu's new AI-powered Test Track, which gamifies training for dealership teams, making development fun and engaging. If you've ever wondered how to future-proof your dealership, improve customer service, and maximize every opportunity that comes through the phone, this episode is for you. From tech solutions to actionable skills, we cover it all in this fun, insightful conversation.

Not sure where to go on vacation next year? We have all kinds of ideas from new theme parks, new attractions, new hotels, cities and destinations celebrating anniversaries, destinations that are easier to access thanks to new direct flights, and more. Plus, stick around to hear where to avoid in 2025 too! Universal Orlando is opening Epic Universe in May of 2025 and you currently need to buy a three-day ticket, with one day to be spent in the Epic Universe Park. There are also three new hotels opening in 2025 in conjunction with the new park. Walt Disney World is also reopening the Test Track attraction and getting a new parade in Magic Kingdom. Disneyland will also be celebrating its 70th anniversary all year long and adding a new Walt Disney animatronic attraction. Two new attractions will also open in the Avengers land. Mattel Adventure Park is opening in Glendale, Arizona with a Barbie Fun House and Hot Wheels roller coaster. Oklahoma City is opening an Okana Resort with a hotel and waterpark right next to the new First Americans Museum near the Bricktown entertainment district. Santa Rosa, California is celebrating the Peanuts comic strip's 75th anniversary at the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center. (Hear more about Kim and Tamara's trip to Santa Rosa.) Germany is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its Fairy Tale Route (read more about Jade from Vagabond 3's tripwith her daughter) Southwest is now flying direct flights to Iceland from more cities (such as Nashville). Just know that you won't be able to use your Companion Pass for Iceland flights. This winter is also supposed to be another peak solar cycle to see the Northern Lights in Iceland, Alaska, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. There are also new direct flights from Atlanta and Philadelphia to Copenhagen via a KLM code-share with Delta. Copenhagen is one of the oldest theme parks in the world and the city is quite family friendly. If you are traveling to Europe next year, at some point they will introduce the ETIAS visa and the UK is now going to introduce its own visa system in January 2025. 2025 is the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth and cities like Bath, England will be doing a lot to celebrate. It is a great time to plan a trip for literary fans! Fiji now has direct flights from Dallas. Fiji is an affordable and exotic destination for families, which is easier to get to and much cheaper than places like the Maldives. There will also be new direct flights from Newark, NJ to Faro in the Algarve in Portugal (hear about Kim and Tamara's trip to Portugal). United also has flights to Sao Miguel in the Azores. Turks and Caicos has opened many new luxury hotel properties and beachfront villas and offers beautiful beaches. They are also opening a second airport. Indianapolis will be a great spot for a girls' trip or a mother-daughter sports-themed trip - just get your tickets to the Indiana Fever very far in advance. Seattle is also a great sports city with a women's soccer team and WNBA team. Italy is celebrating the Jubilee year from December 2024 through Epiphany January 6, 2026. Rome is going to be extra busy next year, especially at the Vatican (and it could be closed for events.) In 2025, Tamara will be visiting both Peru and Chile in March and April 2025. Kim is meeting her daughter Mia in Paris in July and doing eight days in Switzerland.

In this episode of Hangin' at the Hangar Bar – A Disney Adults Podcast, Scott and Candice dive into the fascinating world of Disney park attractions and explore how they've changed over the years. From beloved classics to innovative reimaginings, they break down what makes these rides so memorable and why updates can spark both excitement and nostalgia. Pirates of the Caribbean: Originally opened in 1967, this iconic ride has seen updates that include the addition of Captain Jack Sparrow and the fan-favorite character Redd. Scott and Candice discuss how these changes shape the ride's story and whether they maintain its original spirit. Haunted Mansion: Known for its eerie charm and humor, the Haunted Mansion continues to thrill guests. Scott and Candice talk about seasonal overlays like the Nightmare Before Christmas edition, and debate whether these add extra magic or if the classic version should stand alone. Splash Mountain to Tiana's Bayou Adventure: With Splash Mountain's re-theming to The Princess and the Frog, Scott and Candice share their excitement for Tiana's story and discuss the cultural significance of this change. Tower of Terror to Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout! (Disneyland): The eerie Twilight Zone theme was replaced with an upbeat Marvel storyline. Tune in to hear Scott and Candice's take on how this dramatic shift in tone impacts the thrill of the experience. EPCOT's Transformation: Originally focused on showcasing technology and culture, EPCOT's Future World has now been split into themed neighborhoods with new attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. Scott and Candice discuss whether this shift balances Walt Disney's educational vision with storytelling magic. Maelstrom to Frozen Ever After: The Norway Pavilion's original attraction, Maelstrom, gave way to the popular Frozen franchise. The hosts discuss the trade-off between authentic cultural representation and the allure of Disney IP. Test Track: From its early days as a test-drive experience to its high-tech makeover, Scott and Candice debate the pros and cons of Test Track's modern look and whether it lost some of its original charm. Spaceship Earth: This iconic EPCOT attraction has seen subtle updates over the years. Scott and Candice talk about their love for the journey through human history and what future updates could mean for the ride's legacy. Carousel of Progress: A symbol of Walt's vision, Carousel of Progress has been largely untouched but still captures the evolution of technology. The hosts share their thoughts on whether this attraction should stay preserved as-is or could benefit from a fresh look. Listener Takeaway: This episode is perfect for Disney enthusiasts who love exploring the past, present, and future of the parks. Join us as we consider what it means for a ride to become a “classic” and how evolving attractions impact our Disney experiences.

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - Test Track 2.0 is now gone, but let's head to EPCOT in Walt Disney World and ride it one last time on this episode of Attraction Checklist. Attraction audio recorded on June 6, 2024. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode we visit EPCOT to ride Test Track The Walt Disney World website describes this attraction by saying: Design a virtual concept car and put it to the test on this thrilling, high-octane attraction.   Guests must be 40” or taller to ride and the Thrill Level describes the ride as being a Thrill Ride with Small Drops. Before we hop in a SIM Car, here are five fast facts about Test Track. 1. Test Track officially opened at EPCOT on March 17, 1999.  The attraction replaced the original Epcot attraction World of Motion. 2. The version of the attraction we are hearing on this episode is known as Test Track 2.0.  This version of the attraction opened on December 6, 2012.  This version let riders design their perfect test car and then see how well that card did on the attraction. 3. Test Track vehicles can reach speeds of up to 64.9 mph or 104.4km/h. 4. The music for Test Track 2.0 was composed by Paul Leonard-Morgan who has composed music for television, film and video games. 5. On June 17, 2024, Test Track 2.0 closed to make way for Test Track 3.0 which Disney has said will be inspired by the original World of Motion attraction. Let's go ride Test Track 2.0 one last time.  Now I will say it was really difficult to get a good quality recording of this attraction.  The first time I rode it John B. deHaas was with me but the people in the car with us were so noisy and vulgar, we pretty much decided that that audio couldn't be released publicly. Though it will be released at the same time a this episode as a Patreon Patron exclusive to those Patrons who want to hear.  We even included a review, of our fellow riders. But forgetting about that, here now is Test Track 2.0 and afterwards I'll give you my thoughts on this attraction.  This is a binaural recordings so if you have headphone put them on now as we experience Test Track 2.0 at Walt Disney World's EPCOT.
