This is the happy second half of Episode 37. I recently went to Disney Springs and the Magic Kingdom and had a whole day of Disneying Alone - and wow, is that a different experience than going with kids.

Normally, I try to stay positive so here's the deal... This is the first half of episode 37 - just the long rant about Spirit Airlines should never be trusted with a dime of  your money. If you would rather just skip that nonsense and listen to the Magic Kingdom recap, check out episode 37b

Paul is back from his recent work trip that took him to sunny Kissimee...and when in Rome. After work hours - a trip to Disney Springs and the Magic Kingdom was a must.  But a disastrous choice to choose price over professionalism almost caused the trip to be cancelled. Spirit Airlines is hot garbage and you're being warned by a friend :) If you want to skip the negative first half of this podcast, I'm also releasing each half broken up so feel free to choose how you want to listen.

2023 is almost over, 2024 is almost here.  I'm joined by Tricia Scott of VisitMickey.com to discuss things happening in both of those years. We're talking the dining plan returning, our love of EPCOT, the magic of a buffet on Disney Cruises, Moana Journey of Water and so much more! If you are interested in having the best vacation of your life planned for free, check out VisitMickey.com and get started today!

In this episode, I'm joined by my good friend Penny who just returned home from Universal Studios.  She's got all the info on their Halloween Horror Nights as well as Universal's special Military Freedom Passes. We're talking rides and food and frights and especially vacationing without our children.

Welcome to The Park Hopper Show - the great big beautiful podcast. Paul is back this week with his friend and fellow Disney Dad, Rusty.  They're discussing his recent family trip, some hot takes, some unethical Disney tips, some things completely cut out :) and a discussion of the underrated classic A Goofy Movie

Welcome to The Park Hopper Show - the great big beautiful podcast. I'm back this week with an interview with my longitme friend and client, Pat Rigsby, to discuss some of Disney's high-end offerings as well as the failure of the Galactic Starcruiser.
