Episode 161: A Whole New World

In this episode, we craft a Frankenstein's Monster of a 5th gate at Walt Disney World using all existing (past and present) attractions, restaurants, shows, and more from Disney parks all around the world. The international Disney parks have some must-do rides that we feel would fit right at home in the ol' U.S. of A.

Episode 159: WDW Happy Hour Battles the Chat Robots, Pt. 1

ChatGPT seems to be taking the Internet by storm, so we decided to put it through its paces this episode. For the uninitiated, ChatGPT is a Natural Language Processing (NLP) tool that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to have human-like conversations with people. Did we lose you? Don't worry, you don't have to work at NASA or have a degree in computer science to enjoy this episode.

Essentially, Scott asked the chatbot a bunch of questions about Disney and we went around the table grading its responses. This episode was so much fun that we may just do a part 2 in the future. We hope you have even half as much fun listening to this one as we did recording it.

Episode 158: Disney Cast Member Clip Show

CEO Bob Iger recently announced a plan for a roughly 7,000 layoffs throughout The Disney Company. We send out positive thoughts to the Disney CMs as they deal with this difficult and challenging scenario.

 

For our main topic, we thought it may be nice to balance this bad news with some tales of our favorite and most cherished cast member interactions over the past several years.
