Be Our Guest WDW Podcast

Today we are so excited to head up to Canada to speak with Listener Rebecca about a bunch of different topics for the show! First of all, Rebecca is a former International College Program Cast Member who made the magic for all of us in the early 2000's! We hear about how she was chosen for the program and some of her favorite memories from her time down at Walt Disney World! We also discuss her recent cruise on the Disney Wonder to Alaska, including thoughts on the ship and excursions and ports! We get into her first trip to Disneyland as well as her big return to Walt Disney World with her family scheduled for next month as well! This show really hits at so many of the reasons as to why we have all fallen in love with the Disney destinations so much!

Mike and Scott are here today to start the recap from the epic BOGP Cruise trip last week! We spend this show with the pre-cruise part of the trip! Scott got there first and spent time celebrating the 4th of July at Walt Disney World, and both guys stayed at Disney's Boardwalk Inn, had a great meal for the first time at Rosa Mexicana, we had an amazing BOGP Meet-up at Splitsville (Thanks, Tricia!), and lots of stories from the time before we headed to Port Canaveral for the cruise! The anticipation of the cruise made this time at Walt Disney World so much more fun! Please share your thoughts over on the Discord channel at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse.

This is the Live Call-in Show from this past Sunday night, July 13, 2025!  Mike was solo on tonight's show, but it was no problem as we had some great calls to take us through the hour!  We discussed how this summer turned out a bit differently that Mike thought it might have a couple of years ago - WDW is collecting a bunch of "small wins" and Epic Universe isn't burning quite as hot as he thought it might be.  Also, we discussed ideas of a new Deluxe Resort with more of an "in-your-face" Disney theme.  Would you enjoy this?  We also talked about when your "WDW Golden Days" were, and if they were from your first trips to Walt Disney World!  This and much more on today's show!  Come join us in the BOGP Clubhouse this week at www.beourguestpodcast.com/discord.  Please visit our website at www.beourguestpodcast.com.  Thank you so much for your support of our podcast!

We are excited to have Taylor from Edmonton, Alberta joining us on today's show to share his recent trip down to Walt Disney World with us! We hear about his split-stay to both Disney's Coronado Springs Resort at Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort!

Mike, Scott, and special guest Jason are here today to play some Oddsmakers! We are trying to place odds on things either happening or not happening around the Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line! What are the chances that we still have two performances of Disney's Starlight Parade on January 13, 2026? What percentage of guests walk off a Disney Cruise Line ship with some sort of merchandise? What percentage of guests in October are sporting some sort of sporting gear? This and more on today's show!

Today Mike, Scott, and Rikki are here for a different kind of Wednesday show as Mike & Scott are at Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point today on the BOGP Cruise! Today, going along with the previews of Test Track 3.0 happening at Epcot, we discuss the idea of attractions at Walt Disney World that have gone through a "reimagining" process and if this is a net positive or negative in our eyes. From Soarin' to Tiana's Bayou Adventure to Dumbo and the Tiki Room, hear our thoughts! Please share your thoughts over on the Discord channel at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse.

Today we are very excited to have Jason from the BOGP Clubhouse joining Scott and Mike on the show to hear all about what it is like to live in Celebration, Florida! We discuss how he and his awesome wife Veronica ended up there and what it is like being 10 minutes away from the magic! We also hear more about the town itself, including amazing celebrations around the holidays, and how Jason and Vern keep the magic alive even with everything right there at their fingertips 24/7! I think we have all dreamed of living in the shadow of the Castle, but they really do!
