    I learn something new every time I listen! About how many rides a day are typical during this busy week ? Another blogger said you can do about eight. We are planning on arriving early and we have fast passes set for the busy items. Thanks.

    Thanks for the tips. I will be at WDW the 20-23 and am attendingthe Christmas party. Have fun with your son. Thanks again for the tips

    Shannon, thank you so much!
    I love listening to these in the car when I have a long drive ahead of me!

    Great podcast as usual! We have been to two different MVMCPs both times in early November. Nothing gets you into the holiday spirit like the party ~ it is a marvelous time!

    I would second the “magic” of walking on rides – there is something about feeling like one of just a few people in the park. When we attended in 2010, my daughters and husband rode Barnstormer 5 consecutive times.

    I am so excited for our MVMCP the first week of December, that I got teary listening to this podcast when you played a sample of the music from the fireworks!!!
    Thank you for all of the information. Only 25 more days until we get to experience Christmas at WDW!!!
    I don’t see the option to post this podcast to my Pinterest page. Am I missing it?

      I just heard that NPH will be the narrator when we are at Epcot. This trip just gets better and better!

I just got back from a five night stay at Coronado Springs and had the best time! Even though I went during the busy season I barely waited in any lines and was able to do everything I wanted!
