On this episode, Laura and Matt discuss their "unpopular" favorite things to do in Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. These are not necessarily "hidden" gems, but rather what we would like to do if we had the chance to relax in the parks, or how to pass the time until our next Lightning Lane. You can let us know your favorite "non E-Ticket" experience in the parks via email at TalkAboutDisneyPod@gmail.com or find us on BlueSky and Instagram @TalkAboutDisneyPod
