Every time I set foot into Disney World, it's like stepping into a myriad of childhood dreams all at once—each park brimming with its own brand of magic. This week's Tiki Room is no less enchanting as we're joined by three of the most endearing Disney enthusiasts you'll ever meet: Lora Ann, Sidney, and Molly. They take us through their most treasured park adventures, with Lora Ann championing the wild thrills of Animal Kingdom, while Sidney and Molly gush about Epcot's cultural marvels and futuristic rides. From the adrenaline-pumping heights of Everest to the immersive escapade in Avatar, we're covering all the bases, including a nostalgic nod to Soarin' Over California and why even the most fearless can't resist the allure of Hollywood Studios' Tower of Terror, Elizabeth's favorite.

As if a day at Disney wasn't sweet enough, our conversation whisks you away to a world where the hardest choice you'll make is between a salty pretzel and the iconic Dole Whip. Our young guests' enthusiasm is as infectious as their laughter,  and we couldn't love them more. So, buckle up (or should I say, secure your mouse ears?), as these captivating tales promise a podcast episode that's nothing short of a fairy-tale ride.
