On this episode, we discuss the latest policy implemented at Walt Disney World: an overnight parking charge has been put into effect for WDW Hotels. Also, we remove the reigns and let Eli roam free for the rest of the show.

On March 21, 2018, Walt Disney World updated their parking plan to include charges for overnight guests staying at the hotels. Depending on what category your hotel is, you may pay more or less than someone at another resort for a similarly looking piece of real estate.

For this Hub, we discuss...well, we discuss anything and everything Eli wishes to discuss. We removed the reigns and let Eli loose on the Magic Our Way podcast. We talk about everything from Infinity Stones to attraction dimensions and everything in between.

For this episode, we discuss whether or not the Disney Dining Plan, as of March 2018, is worth it or not worth it.  This is part three in a series or Worth or Not Worth It shows which include MOW #163 and MOW #208.

Since all of us agree that the Disney Dining Plan is worth it for the average family, each of us takes a dining plan and break it down for a week’s stay. Lee, Danny, and Kevin plan out where to eat, when to eat, and what to eat. We add up the prices of each item presented and compare that against the price for the plan. Did we come out ahead or did we lose money? Listen to find out.

Jambeaux, everyone!!! Harambe! On this episode, we talk with the creator of The Further Adventures of Walt’s Frozen Head, Benjamin Lancaster. Also, we respond to an email we received from long-time MOWican, Eric Grubb.

The Further Adventures of Walt’s Frozen Head is a comedy motion picture that plays off the myth that Walt had his head cryogenically frozen. Once a year, the Walt Disney Company executives thaw Walt out to give him a status of his parks. Typically, Walt has been allowed to see the parks. But one year, Walt, with the help of a guy named Peter, escapes and emerges from the depths of the utilidors to see what has become of his creative vision.
