Disney Hacks Episode 9

Hey Disney Hackers welcome back to the Disney Hacks podcast! On this show Gregg and I dove into the newly canceled attractions at Walt Disney World. Which attraction closures were a surprise and which ones were expected. RIP Primeval Whirl.

We’ll also go in depth on what the experience is like now with Disney’s most technologically advanced ride. How have the queue and various ride elements changed during COVID and is the ride worse or better because of it. Then we finish by discussing Disney’s 3 Peoplemovers and why you should probably pass through Houston sooner rather than later.
