Disney's Polynesian Village Resort for "Rite of Passage" Trip with Kids; Military Family Enjoying Special Times @ Walt Disney World & More - BOGP 2922 Jul 05, 2026

Show notes

This might be one of my favorite shows I have been lucky enough to record in the 18+ years of our podcast! Today, I got to speak with Listener Shamus from Florida about his recent trip to Walt Disney World with his family where they stayed at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort! This was what Shamus called a "Right of Passage" trip for the kids, who were 7 & 5 at the time and enjoying most attractions and shows in the four theme parks for the first time! There are so many great stories about these experiences! We also talk about the extreme weather that took place during this trip and how they adapted. However, the "more" in the show title is what makes the show special. Shamus is wrapping up many years of active duty in the Navy and shares a few of his amazing experiences with us, and leaves me (and I hope you) with a very optimistic and hopeful view of humanity today. I sure feel that the world could use more of these feelings out there!

BOGP Open Line - June 28, 2026 - Short & Long-Term Effects of Resort Restrictions; Level 99 Thoughts; Scott Excited for Big Trip - BOGP 2920 Jul 01, 2026

Show notes

This is the Live Call-in Show from this past Sunday night, June 28, 2026! Mike & Scott were back together for the hour taking your calls! We had some great discussion on where the balance is with the new bus and resort restrictions that went into place today at Walt Disney World. Is it best to "lock down" the resorts more to benefit those staying there, or should they be more open for everyone to get to dine, shop and experience the amenities all over property? We had some great calls from different perspectives discussing just this. Also, we got a great call from Rhode Island where they have a Level-99 experience and she gave a great "preview" of what might be coming to Disney Springs and why this could be something we should all be very excited for!
