This is the Live Call-in Show from this past Sunday night, June 21, 2026!

Today we are very excited to have friend of the show Chris from New Jersey back with us to share his trip with his extended family to Disney's Polynesian Village Resort last April! We hear about the planning of the trip, but more importantly, how to be flexible when those plans change. We discuss great meals at places like O'hana, Whispering Canyon, Topolino's Terrace, and more! We also hear about lots of fun times in the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Disney's Hollywood Studios! Plus, stick around for the end of the show where Chris tells about another trip just a few weeks ago where he "snuck" down to Walt Disney World to surprise his mom on her 70th birthday at Hoop Dee Do Revue and was actually on the same plane with her, without her even knowing it! You have to hear the story to believe it! We hope you can continue the conversation with us this week in the Be Our Guest Podcast Clubhouse at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse!

This is the Live Call-in Show from this past Sunday night, June 14, 2026! Mike and Scott were back together tonight to take your calls LIVE for the hour! Scott got to give his opinions on some of the Oddsmakers topics from Friday's podcast, then we opened up the phone lines and got some other Oddsmakers thoughts from callers throughout the hour! We also got a preview of Eean's Disney Dream cruise this week over in Italy & the Greek Isles, Listener Jessica called in with her "perfect solution" to the Carousel of Progress situation at the Magic Kingdom, and Jason called in from Celebration to discuss what we could do with the Boardwalk area to bring back more life to this portion of the resort!

We are very excited to have Listeners Luke and Tash joining us from all the way down in Perth, Australia for today's show! Today, we discussed their back-to-back sailings of the Disney Adventure back in May! (However, the first sailing was cut short after 24 hours, when the cruise was abruptly cancelled and all guests had to disembark.) We hear all about what it was like to be on this brand-new ship in the DCL fleet and then the logistics of getting around 6,000 guests off the ship and into hotels with little-to-no advanced notice and how Disney Cruise Line did all they could to make a bad situation tolerable. Then, we get to hear about their 3-night cruise that luckily did get to sail! We hear about the entertainment, dining, public space, character interactions, staterooms, and much more!

Today we have Listener Matt (Zeebs over in the Clubhouse!) back on the show to talk about his birthday trip down to Walt Disney World at the beginning of May! We discuss how this split-stay between Saratoga Springs and Boulder Ridge came about, why he added the Disney Dining Plan to this vacation, how he managed to keep 9 people together throughout a week at Walt Disney World and more! Hear about some amazing dining experiences, fun times in the parks, and lots of small moments around property as well!

We also get a question from a listener headed to Disneyland for the first time about how to enjoy their nighttime experiences, and another who is taking her mom back to Disneyland for the first time in 50 years!

Mike & Rikki are back today to discuss some ideas we have for small things Disney could do to existing attractions and experiences to make them much better for guests! We got this idea when Disney announced that the cars at the Autopia will go from gas to electric at Disneyland is 2027. Hear our thoughts on Tron, Toy Story Mania, the Imagination Pavilion, the Skyliner, and much more! Also, we talk about the fact that Disney is doing really well in this area right now!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Today Mike & Rikki are answering your listener questions! We get a great email from Listener Chris to start the show with lots of feedback on why he thought the Galactic Starcruiser didn't succeed at Walt Disney World, and had some solutions as to how this experience might be able to come back around in the future. We had a nice discussion around this topic as well! Then, we talked about smaller portions for meals at Walt Disney World (as well as quality of those meals), surprises for 11-year old boys at the Magic Kingdom, room requests at Caribbean Beach, and much more!
