EPCOT should totally offer a non ride ticket. But that would make things more crowded so I don't support it actually 😅😅
And yesss the reservation system is so hard on out of town guests. Things happen! Kids are tired or don't feel well etc the ability to be flexible is SO necessary!
For dining they really should implement a system that has a virtual waiting list. So if a place you want is fully booked you can set the time range you want and get notified if a table opens up. That way restaurants can remain fully booked and people still have a chance to snag something they want.
I love when Ryno hosts and I love how he’s got a song for everything.
I love Ryno’s shirt!! Aww I miss 90s Nickelodeon.
I am really happy that date-based tickets will no longer require reservations. I’ve said for over a year now that I CAN understand requiring it for AP’s, but a date-based ticket should not require a reservation on top of it, no matter how ‘simple and easy’ it may be to make a reservation on the app. Hopefully AP reservations will drop eventually but this is a very good start.
My family is a spreadsheet type of family, and we would plan out where we want to eat/drink on a particular vacation and then compare the a la carte price vs. DDP. It was usually worth it for vacations where we wanted to go to signature dining. The cheaper plans were usually not worth it from a spend point of view. One time, we had a waiter totally screw up the redemption of credits (he took too many), and we had to spend a few hours sorting it out at the hotel. So, for us, the ease of use/pre-pay thing is not as valuable as it used to be.
Can we all take a page out of Ryno's book and say something nice to one person a day? Love it!
Great show. This is the A team in the studio
"I hate that we have to clap for something staying around." Yes, I agree.
Unpopular opinion: I disliked fast pass plus planning rides ahead because I couldn't REALLY pick the rides I wanted at the times I wanted. So, I could pre-plan up to 3 fast passes, but I usually was only happy with one selection.
I don’t know if it was mentioned and I missed it but one thing that is different with the 2024 Dining Plan and the old one is it used to come with 2 Snack credits each day and the new wording says 1.
Please remember the fee for no show was to stop guests from making multiple dining reservations all over the resort.
I am really glad there was minimum to no political discussion this week. Although I had to mute chat. I get it most of the people watching the show, and everyone on the show(except Pete) probably have Bernie Sanders for President stickers on their Subarus, but man people get triggered very easily in this audience. For now on I am leaving the live chat off.
Ryno is spot on about Park Hopping. At Univesal *and elsewhere) you can park-hop to youreart's content. No excuse for Disney to be limiting it at this point.
We used dining plan and saved a lot. It also made it easier to do things. I missed having it during the 50th.
Great show today. My family and I tried the dining plan once, when we got it for free years ago.I will miss magical express. Unfortunately that will never come back.
Sushi-go-round!!
Ryno, love, if y’all would share your insight about where to go to eat right outside the world!
Let the women talk….
Disney is listening. Things are going back slowly. I am holding out hope. Great discussion today guys!
Steve Porter in chat! Our family cannot ride the People Mover, play Buzz Lightyear or eat mac n cheese on property without fondly mentioning Steve. He was such a funny, sweet addition to the show.
Bad news for Iger and Disney. It seems like Iger should stop talking too, not just DeSantis.

no one should feel bad about "taking advantage" of a Disney policy at the prices they charge
Hmm Annual pass , DVC Stay Sounds like we will still need reservations Boo
FREE BALLING LMAO
The problem is the idea of paying thousands of dollars to get your family into the park, and then having to walk a mile to the cafe hut and then wait in line an hour for coffee. I don’t mind paying. The wait times and convenience are terrible. And then there are no tables or benches in sight to relax. I think Disney’s focused on the wrong things.
I luv panda hes so cute and personable i luv ryno hes sexy funny craig well he needs to lighten up hes very negative
Great show
We always got the deluxe dining plan and cannot wait for it to come back! Best value for our family ❤
As far as the DDP goes, if i prepay for anything, i expect a discounted price. It's a no-go from me.
Ryno as host is awesome
They just did a dining promo – I ended up cancelling mine because I bought an annual pass but my reservation came with a $300 dining gift card and for the price, it was reasonable. Especially during F&W – lots ability to taste test!
