The Park Hopper Society
Three normal guys who also happen to really like talking about Disney. From Disney World to Disneyland and all the parks in between, we talk about rides, shows, food, good times, and the stuff we don't care for. Whether it's Marvel, Star Wars, Mickey, or Food and Wine we discuss it. We aren't a tips and tricks podcast even though you might find some. This is a podcast for people who love Disney by people who love Disney.
Is Tokyo Disneyland Really Cheaper Than Disney World?
We've seen the meme that it's cheaper to go to Disneyland Tokyo than it is to go to Disney World, but is it really? We put that to the test  by comparing three realistic family trips across parks worldwide. We look at hotel, park tickets, and even food prices as well as flights from 4 different cities in the US. We also preview the booth menus for the 2026 Festival of the Arts (which we very maturely refer to as FArts), and discuss the summer discounts for Disney World.
