Summary

We’re continuing our listener Q&A mailbag with Part 36, and this one is all about opinions, debates, and some seriously fun Disney what-ifs. We kick things off in the parks, helping tackle Hollywood Studios for those who aren’t fully sold on it, and sharing some of our favorite ways to enjoy it beyond the obvious headliners. From there, we get into some tough choices—like picking just one land in each park, dreaming up the perfect Disney date night, and even adding a brand new country to EPCOT. We also take a look back and ask which attraction openings we’d love to experience for the first time again, and what Disney policy we’d change if we had the power. Plus, we dive into a big-picture question: what truly are the best things to do at Walt Disney World, even if they’re not rides? Then it’s time to have some fun with Imagineering-style questions—creating our ideal Disney day using only extinct attractions, coming up with ways to pixie dust other guests, and designing new pre-shows. We even step into the roles of CEO and cast member for a day to see what we’d change (or where we’d work). We wrap things up with a relatable park pet peeve, how to handle it, and a tough “would you rather” that pits food against rides. This episode is full of energy, opinions, and plenty of moments where you’ll either be nodding along… or strongly disagreeing.
