• Animation Courtyard reopening highlights including the indoor Alice playground
• Typhoon Lagoon H2O Glow Nights and what makes it a smart add-on
• Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster re-theme to the Muppets

It may as well be Festivus, because it's time for the airing of grievances! Jessica and Tyler talk about times they’ve been “betrayed” by Walt Disney World! From the ending of Disney's Magical Express, to the margs at La Cava del Tequila, nothing is off limits in this episode!

We talk:

• prix fixe menus and oversized family-style servings
• stroller traps, trolley tracks and coffee spills
• merch resellers
• Disney busses
• La Cava pre-mixed margs vs handcrafted cocktails
• Chef Mickey’s wear and tear
• Animal Kingdom’s early closing
• The loss of Magical Express
