Apologies this took so long to get to you...
1st - there were technical issues with the recording. You'll hear me dropping out occasionally but overall, it's listenable so after a lot of editing - I was able to get a product out the door.
2nd - you may notice my voice in the open isn't as strong as it has been in the past.... there is a story behind that which I will be sharing soon and is another big reason why it's been so long between podcasts.
So, sorry to keep you waiting but there are two hours of listening ahead.
Happy new year.

I haven't listened yet. Going to save it for the trip down to Florida next week! WAHOO!
But... the Canadian in me wants to tell you it's "toque" instead of "tuke". LOL

hahaha That's just the weird French-Canadian way of spelling it! "Tuke" makes way more sense!

Hi GUYS!! We were getting worried about you!! Thanks for the podcast - it came literally just in time for Nikki to download for her trip home (She was visiting me in Switzerland and was flying 10.5 hours back to Tampa).
I am listening to the podcast while I put my house back together after the holiday carnage.…and it is GREAT company!
I am still listening but overall… 2 quick comments:
1 - Thanks for the shout-out Christine! Nik and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and John and sharing a marg at Mexico during F&W! btw - how about FastPass to the Tequila spot during F&W!?
2 - WaterParks - LEAVE IT. I'm with Michael - they are G-ROSS. While River Country holds a very special place in heart and many places in our childhood photo album, I don't like to be so darn close to to people (including myself!) who are sweaty, half-naked, and lubed up with sun cream. I do love to watch the kids have fun…and I do love to embrace the odd slide or two. If only I could do those things with minimal cost and w/o jumping into the cesspool combo of sweat, oil, hair, trace amounts of e-coli, pee, spilled beer and chlorine….
Thanks again guys!! We are about 6 weeks away from our annual family trip and can't wait!
*btw - my husband, a decidedly non-Disney guy, overheard the exact moment that Gary said he was ditching some Disney trips for national park visits. So, now, he officially likes the podcast!

Hearing me talk has that effect on people. Seriously, the US is a huge country and I want to see as much of its natural beauty as I can (and I also like the small towns associated with NPs). It seems as though Disney is morphing out of the trip we plan for a year into a "I wish I were in Disney. Well let's book a trip." And then we wonder why our budget is blown. English majors shouldn't be allowed to have money.

I LOVE Great Divide. You know they have a beer called the Yeti, right? I have a Great Divide sticker on my car that has a silhouette of a Yeti with "I Believe." I of course put it on because of the "other" yeti, but it serves a dual purpose because it's an awesome beer. That sticker, combined with my federal zombie hunting license sticker on the car may be why no one ever talks to me.

The sound glitches didn't sound too bad! Good work John!
Magic +, Fast Pass +
It just seems like it's getting more and more complicated to plan a Disney vacation. You could never be completely spontaneous at WDW, but now it seems almost every minute is planned... be here at 10:18am, be there at 11:30am, be here at Noon, etc., etc. I'm starting to feel like Gary. I may have to have someone remind me why WDW is so special?!
Diane Disney Miller.
So sad. I *did* grow up with Walt introducing The Wonderful World of Disney and I am concerned that kids going to Disneyland or WDW now won't realize that Walt Disney was a real person. So, I'm glad for all of her efforts to get the Walt Disney Museum up and running. I just hope WDW continues to have at least something in the park about Walt Disney so people can see who created all of this.
Waterparks.
Take it. But, prefer Typhoon Lagoon over Blizzard Beach. I loved being able to body surf. My wife and I love the lazy river.
Circlevision.
I think I remember America the Beautiful. I believe it was still there in '79 when I was there on my honeymoon.
Yeti.
Has anyone heard why they can't fix the yeti?
Gary, does your federal zombie hunting license bumper sticker mean you're a Walking Dead fan?

Take 2
So... still listening to the podcast while I work...
on My Magic blah-blah...
I can't help but think that all the noise about the downsides will be but a distant memory 12 months from now. It would be impossible to launch such a sizeable effort and change w/o a lot of hiccups and grumbles. I am sure that these were all well expected by Disney. My prediction is that Disney will improve and we will all adjust. I still have every expectation that the kinks will be worked out and that while I may not love every part of the "new way", I will be able to tolerate it long enough to eventually not notice. We are simply still in the middle of the transition and well... I think the questions we have (what about AP holders!?), etc. are just phased in for a later part of the transition.
I wonder what people thought when they suddenly went from e*tickets to a all-in-one price? Of course, it would have been a lot easier for Disney to manage then b/c there weren't blogs and I*cot sites to worry about.
What I would criticize them for is the communication around the effort. Disney IS well aware of all the social media and they should have done a better job at previewing what to expect and the perhaps even their timeline. Whomever is doing their change management and consumer engagement plan on this project needs help.
I VERY WELL remember American the Beautiful!! My Dad used to drag us in there to watch it. He probably wanted to cool off and chill... it seemed SOOO boring when I was under 12 and we had to STAND!?!? Gasp! I would love to see it now.
and.. lastly, as I just watched a YouTube of Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon...I must say "EW!" to Waterparks. Really. "EW!"
Is it too early to push for the next podcast!? Now.. its Friday night for me... so, time to uncork the cava!

Such a tough question to answer...I've been a longtime fan of the comics. Have been reading them since long before the TV show. Initially I enjoyed the TV show but the first season really fell apart with the whole CDC thing. Tried the second season, hated it and gave up. Found out the second half got good, binged on Netflix started watching season 3 when it came on. Season 3 started going pretty well but the Woodbury thing dragged on too much. Lost interest in the fourth season again.
Long story short: Love comics, have a mixed relationship with the show. I think the show is really well acted but the writing is incredibly uneven.
Other than that, I have a thing for zombie movies. Always have, though I'm a Romero slow moving zombie fan not those fancy fast moving modern zombies.
