Hot Takes & Dole Whips

Episode #432   Disney Hot Takes, Where pixie dust meets real talk.  This is not your typical "everything is perfect" show, we're going to give you our opinions, unpopular views, and have an honest conversation about the parks, movies, food, prices, and everything in between. From overrated attractions and underrated snacks to the truth about park hopping, and whether the magic is still worth the money-nothing is off limits.  Whether you're a first-timer, a seasoned park veteran, or someone planning a trip, you'll get laughs, real talk, and maybe a few opinions that make you say, ' I can't believe they said that!"  www.thedisneycrush.com [email protected] www.patreon.com/thrdineycrush
