WDW Ride Guide Podcast
The WDW Ride Guide Podcast is an unofficial Disney podcast dedicated to exploring Walt Disney World one ride at a time. The sheer number of Disney rides make it nearly impossible to cover them all in an average family vacation. Add to that the incredible variety of storytelling throughout each park and it quickly becomes clear that every Disney rider will have a different favorite. The goal of our weekly podcast is to make it easier for you to plan ahead for the rides you don’t want to miss!

First, I want you to create a plan! There are tons of pre-programmed touring plans out there in cyber space, but those plans don’t take you the individual into account. Sure there are great plans that help you navigate ...

After all that talk last week of new high tech rides coming to the parks over the next few years I thought it would be fun to visit a classic Disney ride today. I love that we still have some of these original rides from when the park first opened. It gives Walt Disney World such a rich history and diversity of experiences. The Tomorrowland Speedway has been introducing young riders to the road for almost 50 years. It is not the ...
