The Disney College Program
We are joined by our real life friend Matt Gainey to talk about his time in the Disney College Program! We talk about the application process, what he did while he worked there, lots of behind the scenes stuff, and more. Plus Matt hangs around to play everyone's favorite game Sail, Float, Sink! This episode was a ton of fun to record and we hope you all like it! Massive thanks to Matt as this episode absolutely could not have been made without him. Especially since it's pretty much all about him.

Planning the Perfect Trip: Old Pros and Bachelorette Weekends
We asked two travel agents to help us plan the perfect trip for two scenarios. The first one features a couple who has been to Disney more times than they can count. The kind of people who have annual passes and absolutely wear them out. What is there left for them to do to keep the magic alive? The second is a bachelorette trip to Disney to live it up. They want to keep the party going and prove that Nashville isn't all it's cracked up to be. Huge thanks to Angel De La Torre and Cassie Hearson for helping us out with this episode. If you are interested in using either one of them to help plan your future trips please reach out to them!

Should You Buy an Annual Pass?
We answer the common question of when does it make sense to buy an annual pass. That's a little more nuanced though than you might think! From blockout dates, to discounts, to actually figuring out how to pay for the pass, we cover it all. We also debate whether or not Disney actually loses money on AP holders who go hundreds of times a year. Plus we tackle memes from the internet when we discuss which Disney resorts we would be willing to live in for an entire year to get a lifetime pass to Disney World.

Food and Wine 2026 Preview
We tackle one of our favorite topics and one that we know you can’t get enough of: a festival menu preview! We preview the entire Food and Wine menu and discuss everything we’re excited about for this year’s festival! We absolutely love Epcot festivals and so far this one is no exception. Let us know what you’re most excited about!

Our 2026 D23 Predictions
D23 will be August 14-16, 2026 and Disney always has at least a few major announcements up their sleeve. We decided we would take a crack and predicting what sorts of things they might announce. We can definitely expect some updates on previously announced things. We also weigh whether some of the rumored things are likely or not to actually be announced. And we make some bold predictions of our own! What do you think Disney will announce? We also bring back Sail, Float, Sink as we try to decide which one of a kind Disney event we would most like to go to.

Planning the Perfect Trip: First Timers and Park Avoiders
We set out to plan the perfect Disney trip, and quickly realized we should probably get some outside perspective on it. So we brought in two travel agents and got their expert opinions. But just planning the perfect trip was too easy. So we instead created scenarios for each of them to deal with. The first was a first time family who knows just enough about Disney to be dangerous, and the second was a couple that doesn't want to go to the parks at all. We honestly learned a ton in this episode (especially about enjoying Disney without the parks) and we hope you enjoy it! Let us know what you'd do different! Massive thanks to Robin Kinkade and Amanda Madrid for doing the heavy lifting on this episode. If you're interested in contacting either of them about any travel plans you may have then here's their contact info!
