We're taking you on a wild and wonderful ride through Fort Wilderness and beyond! First, we share a quick overview of our car camping experience at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort—from setup tips to what makes this rustic getaway such a unique way to stay on Disney property.Then, it's all about the food and drinks! We review dinner at Crockett's Tavern, including hearty bites and laid-back lodge vibes, then head to the brand-new GEO-82 lounge at EPCOT for some creative mocktails and modern appetizers with a retro-futuristic twist. We also return to one of our all-time favorites, Geyser Point at Wilderness Lodge, to see if it still holds up for great food and atmosphere. Finally, we wrap things up in style with a rooftop breakfast at Topolino's Terrace—because nothing says “Disney magic” like fresh pastries, character charm, and a sunrise over the Riviera.So whether you're roughing it in a car or dining in elegance 10 stories up, we've got all the flavors, fun, and Fort Wilderness flair covered.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

It's time for a ... Great Value Theatrical Experience ... in Life in the Fast Lane #49! We start off by discussing Tokyo Drift's fifteenth minute, with a deep dive into "Woman at Boswell's Apartment," played by Yoko Maki. We then move on to the news, including: is Fast X Part 2 actually about to start filming? The Rock is teaming up with A24 once again; who gets more from this partnership? We talk about some early reactions to Joseph Kosinski's F1, then Run the Vin to ask: did Vin steal some of Nico's verbiage? What does Vin Diesel think *we* think about Fast & Furious vs. Mission: Impossible? Is there a Vin Diesel "panic button" at the security gate at Universal Studios? Joe sets betting odds on the next F&F movie that will be released, but if it's Dos Bandoleros... where will we be able to see it? We review the IMDb goofs for The Fate of the Furious, which is perhaps our nerdiest batch yet. Who's on the submarine with Gisele? We get rankings -- and a brand new take on No Knees Denise! -- from a new listener. We talk (spoiler-free) about The Rehearsal's second season, BBQs, and movies in theaters.

This week, we kick things off with the return of Space Karen's meltdown tour: Elon Musk got flustered in an interview, sputtered out one-word answers, and called the journalist an “NPC,” which is rich coming from the guy whose only real upgrade since PayPal is yelling “freedom” in meme fonts. Meanwhile, 23andMe sold your DNA to Regeneron at a bankruptcy auction, proving once and for all that your spit is more valuable than most tech startups.IN THE NEWS is a parade of corporate idiocy and dystopian fuckery. Coinbase employees got bribed into leaking user data (because clearly we didn't have enough crypto chaos), Klarna keeps flip-flopping between AI and human workers like it's a bad Tinder date, and OpenAI is out here buying Jony Ive's design firm for $6.5 billion because sure, what's another billion when you're trying to build a surveillance device to stalk 100 million users? Meanwhile, the Chicago Sun-Times is publishing AI-generated trash with imaginary authors, Anthropic's new model attempts blackmail, and researchers dumped two billion Discord messages online just for kicks. And yes, Elon's Tesla robotaxis will now only roam the safest parts of Austin, which is code for “we still can't make this thing turn left.”In MEDIA CANDY, we're watching Murderbot, Godfather of Harlem, and Hotel Cocaine because who doesn't love a little synthetic assassin, crime drama, and coke-fueled nostalgia? Notepad.exe now writes for you (and probably files HR complaints too), and Audible is teaming up with publishers to replace narrators with robot voices. Yay, progress. Over in THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, Bittner brings the malware, monsters, and a new theme park review that's somehow less terrifying than the news. Bookworms, don't miss Curepedia and The AI Con — one's about goth gods, the other's about taking down our techno-overlords.

We're opening up the mailbag once again to answer your questions, and this one is packed with variety! Whether you're planning an adults-only anniversary trip, trying to make your value resort feel a little more deluxe, or debating if a day at Epic Universe is worth it—this episode has something for everyone. We kick things off by chatting about romantic, adult-friendly experiences at Walt Disney World and whether it's worth adding Universal's Epic Universe to a Disney-centered trip. We also share our top recommendations for couples-only resorts and must-do activities beyond the Keys to the Kingdom tour. Then we dive into questions about a perfect Disney Day (no budget required!) and favorite park fun facts, a creative idea for giving each Disney park a brand-new icon, and answer which rides operate during extended evening hours for deluxe resort guests. We also talk about unexpectedly awesome moments at Universal, how to add luxury to a value resort stay, and whether it's better to go with a moderate resort—or just go all in on deluxe (or all out and save!). It's a wide-ranging episode full of fun, helpful tips, and a little bit of Disney daydreaming. MEI-Travel – Expertise.
