Episode 187 Delayed
Authored by: wdwmagic on Monday, December 04 2006 @ 10:27 AM CST
How will I survive the delay! Luckily some of my other favorite podcasts come out today too. Phew.

But after that, I sure hope it's ready! LOL I would tune into MouseWorld Radio to tide me over, but they have been cracking down on our Internet streaming at work.

Savages I tell ya.
Is it my fault?

I don't recall if this was the episode where I drank ahead of time ("As opposed to during?" I can hear you all say.)

I'm SO glad you guys mentioned Trails End. It is definitely the best breakfast I have EVER had in my life. They have everything and the quality is unbelievable. I haven't had a chance to eat at Trails End for lunch or dinner, but the breakfast is amazing. This is the most underrated restaurant in all of WDW.

The only negative is that it is kind of a hassle to get to if you aren't staying at Fort Wilderness, but it is well worth the inconvenience.

To correct Matt (which I LOVE to do),
1900 Park Fare does NOT have princesses during the breakfasts. They have Mad Hatter, Alice, Tigger, Pooh, and Mary Poppins.

On a not so cruel note... thank you for giving some props to 1900. I love it and have eaten breakfast there a few times. Gotta love Strawberry Soup:)

You can't beat a quick cinnamon roll and some orange juice from the Boardwalk Bakery for that 5 minute walk to EPCOT (or that 15 minute walk to MGM)....

Good episode. It was cool to hear where you all like to eat breakfast - my family usually just grabs something like bagels or cereal from the hotel's food court, which works for our family. Now there are a few good tips here for our next trip if we feel like trying something different. Thanks!
P.S. I soooo wish I was at Disney right now... not only because of Mousefest, but also because Winter Meetings are going on this week at the Swalphin (Disney's Sawn & Dolphin), and it'd be sweet to see the GM of your favorite baseball team around Disney.... ok, maybe I'm dreaming there, I have no idea if GM's go out to the parks even, or if they have a strict stay-inside-until-your-trades/deals-are-made kind of rule. lol now I am just rambling.

Help me!!
Authored by: Figment on Tuesday, December 05 2006 @ 07:28 PM CST
Look, I'm 30. I just recently got an ipod and can barely use iTunes. Help me. I've subscribed to your show eons ago...and all of a sudden iTunes is telling me that your URL is invalid. *sigh* I just glanced down at your "important stuff" and I realized that I'm really not staying on topic (gee, kinda like how you guys are every day), I totally did not reply to someone else's thread (oops. I think you could use another thread, honestly), I don't think anyone actually told me how to fix my problem. So what shall I do? *weeps*
