    Going off you’re chat on getting stuck on a ride. I got stuck on Radiator Springs. It was the end of the night & we were one of the few riders. We get on the ride & right before we are about to enter the dark portion of the ride after passing the waterfall. It stops. We ended up waiting about 15, 20 minutes. Supposedly a cast member pushed the emergency stop button. I honestly think it was a purpose act to close the ride early. Though I wish I got to ride the complete ride, I enjoyed getting stuck because I got to walk the beginning tracks and take pictures next to the waterfall. However, I wished he/she pushed the emergency stop button in the dark part and hope to see the inside. Nonetheless, cool experience.

    Love listening to you guys every week and now every other week. Keep it up and will definitely follow you on your new journey =)

    I just listened to episode 59 and I totally agree that Disney parks and prices are not and should not be to keep out the so called “rif-raf”. If it ends up being only the rich, it reminds me of the movie preview for “Elysium” and that would just be sad. I hope the parks always make it possible for all types of people to be able to go to the happiest place on earth
