Have you got a link to the monologue/rant as I can't find it?

I watch their Tuesday podcast on Youtube every week and I just think they are brilliant, especially Pete! As you say you'd think he'd be in Disney's pocket but it's fantastic how honest he is about what he thinks around all the changes! Great guy

Yes it gets really good about 23 mins in

Let’s assume he is not on Chapek’s Christmas card list.

I hadn't seen his videos before so looked that on up. So good on so many levels - especially the contrast between his anger at the front desk and the love for his 88 year old mother.

He has just done a Q and A. Some about his history (alcoholic and drug addict turned successful businessman). He says he can’t even call Chapek a poor man’s Bob Iger in this one.😂 ‘Chapek is off in a dark corner touching himself ‘ over the cuts. 😂

He says as a travel agent that specialises in Disney he’s getting harder to recommend vacations there due to the stripping of the product.

He’s dreaming of coming back to UK as he is a big fan of UK.

I too have seen this , in 2019 we had free dining and though I remember one cast member questioning the lack of tips given “ is this right she said” and citing her lack of pay. I should not be made to feel awkward when paying many thousands of pounds . Universal is now way and above in terms of how we as guests are treated.
Probably still great for kids but as an adult Disney now has little left personally .

You then have to unfold them get the kids in and then refold them & take the kids back out when boarding the tram. Then once at the park you have to do the same again. Far too much hassle for us now. We like just being able to jump on a bus/boat/monorail to get to where we need to go, far quicker & easier for us.

We also have DVC so won't miss the DDP. We did actually buy into it on the basis that we couldn't rely on free food and that it could end at anytime. I do feel for those that have relied on these things though. Hopefully Disney will announce something to replace the DME at least.
Everyone is different and we preferred a Vila with 2 young kids. We took a Maclaren twin, we never took the tram but walked at MK and AK in the morning but did take it coming home.

Do they let you keep the kids in the buggy on board the bus?
