Be Our Guest WDW Podcast

This is the Live Call-in Show from this past Sunday night, August 23, 2026! Mike and Scott were back together for the hour taking your calls! We started the show with a great call from Ryan down in Mobile, Alabama about taking his young child to Walt Disney World for the first-time! We did our best to remember tips from taking our girls when they were younger, but the chat was on fire with great thoughts! Then, Lauren had questions about going to Disneyland for the first time as a Walt Disney World veteran! We also discussed Restricted fares with Disney Cruise Line and who might be comfortable booking them, with Dennis from Texas giving some great thoughts as well!

Also, we discuss nice "mother/daughter" dinner options for a graduation trip! We talk about how much "Disney feel" you lose staying at the Swan/Dolphin vs. the Disney hotels, and much more!

We are headed right down the road from the BOGP Studios to Wentzville, Missouri to speak with Listener Mike about his first cruise experience on the Disney Wish! Before we get going, you will not believe the story he shares about what both "Mike's" on the show have in common! Then, we hear about his first impressions with Disney Cruise Line, visiting both private islands, a stay at Pop Century pre-cruise with time at Epcot and Universal, and some time at Coronado Springs post-cruise!

Today, Mike, Pam, and Rikki are here to discuss some of the Walt Disney World-centric announcements from D23 this past weekend as far as how they will affect our future Walt Disney World vacations, both in a positive and possibly negative way in the long and short-term. We discuss if the "juice is worth the squeeze" with the fixing of the Yeti at Expedition Everest (and if there is more to this project), the phased opening of Monstropolis, and thoughts on Piston Peak and Villains Land and more!
