I forgot to mention a couple of things: You can get Global Entry (and thus also TSA PreCheck) for free if you have a Platinum AMEX card, or are Platinum or 1K with United Airlines. They give you a coupon code or a credit that covers the $100 Global Entry fee. There are probably other...

Just wanted to clarify a little about what was discussed on the podcast regarding "Trusted Traveler" programs for US citizens: First off, "Trusted Traveler" is basically just a generic umbrella term for everything below. There is no specific program called "Trusted Traveler". In addition to...

I gotta agree with most of the posts on this thread. Maybe the sound clips would have worked better in the video version (I only have the audio version.) or if the "targets" of the jokes could've heared them and reacted. Maybe not. To me it felt like a "morning zoo" type of show, and that is...

Thank you Tracey for taking the time to respond to my actual points (instead of just attacking the messenger, as others have done). I actually agree with a lot of what you say. A lot of my reaction just comes down to my own (admittedly inflated) expectations. For the record, I was happy...

To answer my own question... I think that PCC2.0 was my favorite because of the lineup of guests. Jodi Benson was amazing, and that concert went so incredibly far beyond my expectations. I was expecting more of a talk with a song or to maybe, but a full concert was pretty spectacular. The...

I realize now that my original post should've just been this: Had a great time on PCC3.0, though PCC2.0 is still my all-time favorite. What's your favorite podcast cruise and why?

I guess I was approaching it like a good-natured debate the third season of Star Trek (the original series). Some episodes are good. Some are bad. On the whole, I liked Season 2 better. Discuss. I thought people discussed more on discussion boards. Guess I was wrong. You're right. I...

I have been extremely fortunate to have been able to go on these trips. You'll get no argument from me on that point. As I stated in my original post, I know I have been extremely spoiled by the fanstastic experiences that I've shared with the DIS team up to and including PCC 3.0.

Hi Kevin. I agree with the point above. I could have worded those items better, so I will go back and edit my post to remove those words and clarify what I was trying to say. As for the rest of your reply, I respectfully disagree. I'll email you directly to explain why I disagree, rather...

No nastiness was intended. I'm sorry if it came off that way. That was not my intent. I stated right up at the top of my original post that my intent was NOT to dump on the cruise. I went out of my way to point out that there were parts of the cruise I really enjoyed, and that overall it was...

Hey Chris, thanks for your reply. You're absolutely right about the changes to the cruise that were announced prior to the event in terms of size and scope. I guess maybe I'm just a sucker for spectacle and razzle-dazzle, so I just fall in to the camp that thinks "the bigger, the better"...

I agree completely, and I state in the very next line in my original post: "Granted, I am fully aware that they don't have to give anything away at all." I was extremely grateful for the $50 giftcard I won from the prizemotron many years ago. But, I also think that by having more smaller...

Hi John, thanks for your reply to my post. Let me repeat something from my original post that you maybe missed: "...the huge respect I think we all have for the DIS team's (especially John's) hard work in putting the Podcast Cruises together." You may have also missed me in that packed theatre...

Thanks everyone for the great feedback to my post so far. I understand that people love the podcast cruises, and I do too, especially considering I've been on all three of them (not to mention the very first DIS ABD Backstage Magic trip as well). I have a question for Liz: Were you on...

First off, I had a blast on PCC3.0, made a lot of great new friends and had the best dining companions I could've hoped for (even if our particular servers were a little less than great). I'm not posting this thread to dump on the cruise. But, after getting back home, my reaction now is sort...

So Nancy, uh, is this a go? Date? Time? Location? I need an excuse to wear my vintage original-logo DCA shirt.

I still call it Dixie Landings too! Or, when I want to be snarky, TRFKADL (The resort formerly known as Dixie Landings). It was the ONLY place I stayed for my first five or so visits. I remember the first time I went to WDW (when I was about 18), my mom had booked us into a "Quality Inn" on...

I emailed Corey about this, and this was his reply: "There is free wi-fi in the room. Nothing wired. My connection wasn’t that bad but it’s probably because there was hardly anyone there. You should be good."

Does anyone have an experience with the wifi at Art of Animation? Does anyone know if they really don't have a wired connection in the rooms?

I'm gonna be at the Art of Animation in less than 2 weeks. Unfortunately, while I'm there I will need to get online and do some work. (Yes I know, I'm "on vacation", but doing about an hour of work in the morning is what earns me the bucks that allows me to go on trips to WDW.) My question...
