I loved this segment. Andrew, I have been begging you to do a show on Disney food. I'm talking about a whole episode of Delicious Destinations. You touched on the food in this video, but there is so much more that you could cover in a TV show. Not only in the parks, but at the resorts and at Disney Springs. You know they have good food with chefs like Morimoto, Wolfgang Puck, Guy Fieri, and Art Smith having their own restaurants there. This would be a ratings killer show because there are so many Disney people out there.

When visiting a new area , never be afraid to go where the locals do , especially for dining. That local dive often beats the pants off the national chains.
Been to Disney , Epcot , and Hollywood Studios. Being into movies and such , much preferred Hollywood Studios.
WQW you've changes sides of the couch... Many moons have passed since being at Disney... yet I'm a huge EPCOT guy.!!! Every few years I venture back to see what's the next amazing, captivating, technological wonder I'm going learn and see this time... Btw, you look younger when you shave....
Have some bad news about the Rose Garden in front of Cinderella castle. That's long gone. But it was for a good cause. Disney expanded the walkways and it's a lot easier to navigate the park during a parade or at fireworks time.
Agree with the tips on taking a midday break. The new thing to know about is the virtual travel tip board called Genie. It's good to look at to see which areas of the parks have low waits for rides. If you want, you can also pay money to buy an individual lightning lane (the new name for Fastpass) that will let you set a time to come back and ride with a minimal wait) or buy Genie+ which gets you a few lightning lanes each day, but does not include the biggest ride in each park.
As for food, Brown Derby is still a great pick at Hollywood Studios. They still make the cobb salad the original way. They now have outdoor seating at the bar, if you just want a drink and the grapefruit cake. A new treat is the special popcorn flavors in the new Star Wars land.
Headless Horseman goes down the parade route during every Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party now. But there's a special thing that happens only on Main Street with Max, Goofy's son, this year. It is a special ticketed event. If you can get a ticket, know the party starts at 7pm, but you can get into the park at 4pm and get three extra hours to go on rides. I recommend eating a big lunch and snack your way through the party, don't lose precious time at a sit down restaurant.
Loved this. My first trip to Disney I was 30. Never went as a child either. On our way to park, doom & gloom weather, news was reporting tornadoes in near by towns..my friends knew there was no turning back. We were going! I had a great pic, entering the park, with black clouds & lightning cracking above the sign 😂.
Few years later had a blast taking my niece as her high school graduation present, for her first time also.
Years later went with my friend & we took her lil guys, 1st time I went with kids…OMG! So much fun! Ok, the Jedi camp… they loved it! But… 1st go round, only one brother was picked & he killed it, so older brother, was devastated! And in tears. We went back later & basically my friend & I pimped this kid to get them to pick him. No way we were letting him down! We even flirted with those Jedi handlers….😂😂😂 (yes , he got picked)
My fav was the Tower of Terror.. I had to bribe them both to go on it… the younger one was a lil too short , so he stood on his toes the whole time he was in line 😂 we got him on!! Then big bro backed out.. just too scary. I still have the key chain pic of the 2 of us screaming.., he’s 22 now.
Btw, Molly… is your trip still on? Saw some of the parks had some damage… might be a nice time actually… less crowded.. esp with lil Kids.

I would not support Disney on a bet!!!! Get woke? Go Broke! Would not give them a dime!
I love this episode. So unpretentious about good fun and good fun.
