We Don’t Talk About Disney

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 

This episode is perfect for a Disney World newbie looking to visit Animal Kingdom for the first time but experienced Disney guests will also enjoy this overview. We have a few tips for wheelchair users, and some hot takes about Disney World's most divisive theme park. 

This week, we discuss recent internet questions about Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida! What age should I bring my kids to Disney? Can I take my 80-year-old grandpa on Cosmic Rewind? Do I need to stay on property? Find out in our first attempt at an advice episode.
