Mike Rides The Bus - BOGP 2938 Aug 02, 2026

Show notes

Due to very unforeseen circumstances, we have an unusual episode for you today! This is a Be Our Guest Podcast/Mike in the Midwest crossover episode! Mike was out of commission the last 4 days with a trip to the hospital that included two rides in ambulances, an unexpected diagnosis, and a few funny stories along the way. However, we do work some Disney magic into the episode as well! We didn't want to lose the streak of not missing an episode, so we hope you will excuse the slight change of pace with today's show. We will be back to our normal trip reports on next Monday's episode! We hope you can continue the conversation with us this week in the Be Our Guest Podcast Clubhouse at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse! Thank you so much for your support of our podcast!

Show notes

Mike Has Thoughts On Intensity and Anticipation of DCL vs. WDW Trips - BOGP 2930 Jul 19, 2026

Show notes

We called an audible today as a guest couldn't make the podcast at the last-minute, so Mike had a thought that has been running through his head over the last week. He thinks that there slightly more intensity for the anticipation of a Disney Cruise than other types of Disney trips. (This is just his opinion at the moment!) He also gives reasons as to why some might feel this way, and wonders if you have ever felt the same? Maybe you are the exact opposite of this? We would love to hear what YOU think of this topic! We hope you can continue the conversation with us this week in the Be Our Guest Podcast Clubhouse at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse! Thank you so much for your support of our podcast!
