Will Recently Announced Walt Disney World Changes Affect Your Next Trip? - BOGP 2225

Happy Friday, everyone! Today Mike, Pam, and Rikki discuss if and how the changes that Disney announced last week for Walt Disney World will change our next trip to Florida! Will Harmonious and Enchantment going away and being replaced by Epcot Forever and Happily Ever After keep us in the parks until closing? Will we make a special trip just to ride Tron in April? Will we now rent a car or change how we get to/around Walt Disney World now that parking is included with your resort stay? Will not having to make park reservations as AP holders after 2:00 PM change anything in how we tour the parks? Hear these and a few other topics discussed on today's show!
