- Weather talk, seriously? It's hot in Canada, that's not possible. Plus Bob & Doug math - double it and add 30. - Resort & Park Updates - new resort opening dates - Restaurant Closures - Is there scary stuff in the noodles? Good tuna fish. - A demonstration of Milk in a Bag, and whether you need to seal milk shut in your fridge - Epcot Monorail isn’t currently running so you’ve got to take a bus or the Skyliner - Splash Mountain was drained and needing repairs over the last week; not related to the Princess and the Frog overlay they’re planning - The TTA Wedway Peoplemover (Metroliner Non-Stop Now Departing Rocket Tower Plaza Station For A Super Skyway Tour) is still down needing extensive repairs. It’s been closed since March. - The blinking/winking hippo in It’s A Small World is still suffering from wonky eyes (and could maybe use some WD-40) - Primeval Whirl is permanently closed and the cars have been removed from the track, never to come back - presumably because the builder of the ride went out of business and getting replacement parts is too difficult - What’s going to happen with Dinoland? Are any new replacements coming in this economy? - The actor who plays Dr. Seeker is now on Apple TV’s new show For All Mankind (if you’re missing him!) - We touch on renos that aren’t going to go forward anymore due to budget slashing (eg. Spaceship Earth refurb, Mary Poppins announced ride, Space 220 restaurant, etc.) - Halloween Horror Nights and Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party are cancelled this year - RunDisney Wine & Dine weekend is cancelled this year however they’re converting it to a Virtual Race. Unsure the fate of future races at this point. - Grand Floridian Walkway from the Magic Kingdom is complete! So if you’re inclined, you can now walk from the park back to the Ticket & Transportation Centre as opposed to waiting for a monorail or ferry at the end of the night - Brittany is going to time how long the walk is from the Magic Kingdom to the Grand Floridian as well as all the way back to the TTC on her next trip in a couple of weeks and report back to us! - Brittany gives us a rundown on how reserving days at the parks works – for Annual Passholders vs. Regular Ticket Holders and Hotel Guests - There are still no Fastpasses being used, no Dining Plans available, and park hopping is supposed to be available again starting in January 2021 - Still no opening date announced for Disneyland or Disney Cruise Line - Brittany gives a really great explainer of what Magical Journeys can do to help ANYONE plan their next Disney vacation, whether you’re a veteran expert or a newbie to Disney. She can handle Disneyland, WDW, Disney Cruise Line and MORE, and it doesn’t cost you a penny! (And NO, you won’t have to sit through any timeshare seminars!) - You can see Brittany’s videos on YouTube – just search for Brittany at Magical Journeys Travel! - If anyone has experience with WordPress, contact John because he could use some help with updating INTERCOT.com!

- Make your vacation more magical with Magical Journeys - Weather Talk! - COVID roundup - Justin's trip to Disney Springs and Vero Beach - Cindy gives some on the ground perspective from Florida - 2 Parks Reopened, the other 2 soon... - Ebayer's ruin everything - Splash Mountain reimagined as Princess and the Frog - COVID buying binges - Stuff on the chopping block, Reflections DVC Resort, Spaceship Earth redo, Mary Poppins, Mexico Boat Ride, Imagination, 50th, Star Wars Resort? - The ripple effect of closures. - Mask talk - good gravy... - Magic Bands & phones for tickets - John and his gadgets - Cinderella Castle new paint job - Hamilton - 1 Food and 1 Ride when you go back

- The gang starts off giggling about Big Red and Warden Wilson Matua! - With the start of the COVID-19 shutdown in March, the podcast crew talks about who is under lockdown, following the new social distancing guidelines and washing hands. - Everyone is catching up on their tv series binge-watching: Carolyn likes Handmaids Tale on Hulu, Jenn likes Servant on Apple TV, Cindy likes Supernatural on Netflix, Gary likes Letterkenny & Schitt’s Creek on Netflix, Ian enjoys Man In The High Castle and Hunters on Amazon Prime, and John has been binging Picard on CBS All Access (among others!) - A bit of discussion about Disney+ and the binge-worthy shows for kids and adults alike on there! - The recent, unprecedented shutdown of all Disney Parks worldwide as an indicator of the Coronavirus situation is concerning. - Ian’s overnight stay in Cinderella Castle during the 100 years of Magic celebration is mentioned… again… of course. - The cast members who worked right up until closing at the parks were still creating magic for guests with a smile on their face despite the worry of the virus.  So appreciated! - Feeling inspired by people coming together for live online concerts, helping out their fellow humans and finding positive ways to connect during this uneasy time. - Big thanks to all of the essential workers that are keeping the world running! - John gives a quick rundown of the recent Media Event he attended for the opening of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, and plugs the videos he took on our YouTube channel. It’s a great ride but it feels quite “wide open” and “odd” inside because the trackless ride system requires so much space. Would have been nice to keep the Great Movie Ride in addition to this. - Trip down memory lane remembering “classic” Disney attractions: Horizons & the original Spaceship Earth, and what is going to happen with scheduled ride refurbishments. - John mentions his recent “John Tries” segment at the Regal Eagle Smokehouse at Epcot up on Facebook & YouTube where he enjoys the beef brisket, chicken & pulled pork. (Spoiler: the pork was the best!) - Is it called “Hockey” or “Ice Hockey”? - John finishes up singing the praises of a Savannah-View room at Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Photo Gallery from the Dream trip online (462 Pictures): http://www.intercot.com/news/disneydream

The Disney Dream - Ian and John get an earlier boarding group and head directly for food and drinks. - Cabins were nicely appointed & we love the seperated bathrooms. - Ian and John snore apart... Deck 5 vs. 8? Really big verandah! Party Time! - Dining onboard - meal at Palo was excellent as was the food everywhere - very good - both Ian and John were pleasantly surprised. - Animator's Palate is a giant Turtle Talk in the round - very cool! Meal there was the best of the rotating restaurants. - Living Artwork on board - pictures come to life. Neat touch. - Secret/Magic Porthole Rooms - we're so ready to stay in one. Even liked the layouts better. High def screens are an effective illusion. - Skyline night club - Huge monitors made to look like windows on the world. The menus there also glowed - very easy to read in low light. - Mel wanted to know about the tween areas - Edge - The Aquaduck - John and Ian decided for seperate floats. All in all, not too scary despite being "see-thru". John had issues getting out. - Fireworks show onboard - only ship to be doing it right now. - We LOVE Castaway Cay. Couldn't be nicer. - Take one for the team - Senses Spa Cabana Massages & Shave/Facial/Chair Massage. Ian snores. Right around $100 - very reasonable. - Villains show was funny, entertaining and very Broadway. Hades was a riot. - The Greycliff Tour - Cigar Rolling and Rum Tasting - A two person tour. The wine cellar was amazing. 260,000 bottles of wine - the third largest in the world. One rack was worth over a MILLION DOLLARS alone. - Had dinner at Senior Frogs - nice spot with a neat view of the harbor. - The challenges of getting home. Ian got stuck in Orlando. - Other night clubs - Pink, 687 SportsBar, Skyline, Evolution - The crazy transporter bathroom near Evolution. The ceiling is a mirror. It's a cruise ship bathroom time machine! - Every day, there's a cocktail of the day on special. - Tons of characters and character accessibility. - The coffee was good! Very important to the Insider Live Staff - Soft Drinks were free on board via the soda fountains on deck. This saves you a bunch of money vs. a soda card. - We like how gratuities are handled via ticket stubs and envelopes. - Ian saw the value in the Disney Cruise Line and was looking to book once he got home for 2012. - John doesn't mind cruising in January - 70 is better than 13. - INTERCOT Best of Disney Dream... Ian says Castaway Cay. John liked his huge verandah and the dinner at Palo. The Magic, Memories and You. - Mel was pleasantly suprised - not at all what she thought it would be. Runs between parade and Wishes. Colors are incredible. - Use Photopass - maybe you'll get on he castle. - Ian loves the commercials as part of the ad campaign. - INTERCOT's Best Of Disney Memories. John recalls sitting on Main Street USA alone watching the Electrical Parade. Carol remembers her first trip to Disney and her son was chosen to pull the sword from the stone. John also mentioned the "Son's of Liberty." Ian has two - the Contemporary game room and Eticket nite & no one in Liberty Square. Mel gets some alone time with Aladdin. - Thanks to everyone for sticking with us and thanks to Jason and the Disney Cruise Line Public Relations department for inviting us to be onboard.

We’ve been having a GREAT TIME despite the Cranky-ness - Despite picking on a few things, we all were enjoying our time there.  Things are in great shape, attendance in high, resorts & rooms are nice.  Love the Tronorail.  Cast Members are FANTASTIC! - The Contemporary Grounds coffee is GOOD!
