I totally agree with you. I care nothing about Disney World, but I still get something from watching and listening to his videos. It's quite enigmatic - even magical.
I cannot overstate my absolute deep appreciation for your honesty and candidness in your answers about the mistakes you feel Disney is making with the Disney parks. As an owner of a travel agency, making those statements is clearly not easy for you. But it shows that you are a man of integrity. And that goes along way with a lot of people. I believe because of that, your business will continue to grow. And I totally agree with you that all of these takeaways that Disney has implemented will hurt them. I hope that at some point Bob C. is removed from the CEO position, and someone who really gets it is put in his place and restores the excellence and magic that was once Walt Disney World from the past. We are going in February with my grandchildren for their very first trip. They will only get to experience the Disney magical express one time. And with all of the perks that are being removed, and with places like John and Kevin‘s villa with better accommodations at a much better price available, this may be our last on site stay. I hope my sentiment changes in the future because Disney decides to get back to better times. Here’s to hoping. Thank you for all that you do for the Disney community.
As someone who never had strong grand parent relationships there is something so comforting about hearing Pete talk. The jokes crack me up and brighten my day!
Losing Magical Express is actually a pretty big blow. To me that was a big part of the Disney bubble, not just a minor thing that really didn't matter. We're almost to the point that the only perk of staying on property is the early FastPass booking window (which costs Disney nothing).
I agree. When we considered how cast members were treated during our last stay and how they are being treated now, we are having a real problem with the idea of coming back to Disney.
My mom and dad brought the whole family to Disney a few years ago for their 50th wedding anniversary and loved the magical express experience. It made them feel special. Disney is getting rid of a very special perk.
I'm so glad to hear about how this all started with you and the show. That's so touching on why you named the show after your dear friend. Your a sweet kind man.
When you said " I had two modes; I was either in Disney, or was planning on going to Disney." that rang so true for me. I didn't take my first trip to Disneyworld until 2012, but I am now a platinum AP holder, and go to the parks 4-6 times a year. Thank you for creating this channel and all that you do to help me realize that I was not the only one who felt this way. :-)
I agree with Pete! We are avid stay on property ppl and we took a trip in OCT and for the fist time in 15 years we stayed off property! We got a one bedroom with kitchen @ a Homewood suites ( including a hot breakfast that was ok) for less the a room @ a value resort. It took us 15 mins to get to MK.... I don’t know if I can justify the cost with no benefits....
Same here! Went in Sept and stayed off property for the first time. I never thought I would get as enjoyable a stay elsewhere, but I was wrong, and it was cheaper!
All the feels, Pete. I think what I've appreciated the most about you over the last 13 years is your honesty. It can be a blessing and a curse, I know. I HAVE reduced my trips to WDW, because of expense. We went almost every year in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I've been twice since 2004. I think what I miss most are extra magic hours, and the parks being open until midnight or later. There was always time to ride everything you wanted if you were willing to rope drop and stay until closing. And planning has gotten so complicated that it's hard for me to recommend a WDW vacation to family members who have never been and advance planning is NOT in their toolbox. That said, I just bought into DVC and hope to go next year if the stars align.
Pete- from conquering your demons to following your passion to build something so beautiful and meaningful to so many- you are a true inspiration. Wishing you- and your incredible team- a healthy, and successful 2021!
Pete I know you have other things to do but these literally could never be too long. Really appreciate the content, thank you for everything you guys do.
There must be something about visiting WDW for the first time as an adult. I was about 30 my first time. Had done Disneyland a ton as a kid, but WDW changed my life lol.
I’ve been a fan of the Dis Unplugged since 2018. In the past 3 years you and your entire team have given me so much entertainment/information, and for that I am incredibly thankful... THANK YOU!
Love you so much Pete. I started following your Daily Fix back in 2016 and started watching the podcast some time after the Pulse show. I have literally not missed a single upload. My first trip was our honeymoon in 2002. DH and I have been in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, and Disneyland in 2017. We had a trip booked UK n 2020, but had to cancel but Miss Teresa has been amazing to get us rebooked for the Reunion in September. Please give her a huge hug from me. PS: it was an honor to meet you at the 20 Years of Dreams event.
The ap price going up was a breaking point for a lot of folks up until now. I think getting rid of the magical express, free resort parking, free magic bands and magic hours are going to be the breaking point for thousands I know it is for my family.
Your passion for everything Disney is real and unparalleled. This show creates a platform for simple as well as complex questions to be posed and answered by a pro. Applause!
Thank you to all the DIS team! Started as a member of the Disboards in 2004. During the pandemic watched all the shows and listened to discussions. Thank you for bringing the parks into our home
Do you think emailing Bob Chapek directly with feedback about the cancellation of the Magic Express and other cuts would make a difference if we do it en masse ? Love the show and thank you for all the time in putting the shows together. TY
I always stay at Avante on I drive. I usually get a room for around $50 per night and it's always clean and the staff are friendly. I'm not in the room more than a few hours just to sleep anyway so I can care less about having Resort perks. I was checking in the other day and the lady told me I had stayed 31 times in the past 2 years so I have a good idea of what to look for. The biggest bonus about staying on I drive is there are tons of restaurants right there outside your room and Universal is within walking distance. The problem with the Disney Resorts is you have to walk sometimes a mile to get something to eat. Everything is usually so spread out and usually it takes me just as long to get from my hotel room to a park as it would if you stayed at a resort and had to wait on Transportation. Unless you are a DVC member or this is your first time to Disney and want only the Disney Experience I just don't see the benefit in staying at a Disney Resort. You could spend a lot more money in the Parks and have your room for a third the price as you would on property.
Really appreciate this show, as well as the many others...esp DVC! Just wanted to state that as of October 2020, the minimum direct DVC purchase for a blue card is in fact 125 points, not 100. Thiiis is why we finally made our purchase...via resale! Looking forward to being welcome home! We coincidentally passed ROFR yesterday! Mahalo for your content, from Hawaii! 💚
Thank you Pete. I have lived in Florida all my life. I remember my single mom saving a few dollars a month in order to take me to Disney 1 every year or so for a day in the late 80's and 90's. We would drive in her old car to Orlando from South Florida. Now, I am able to take my son a few times a year with the monthly annual pass holder program, and stay in the value resorts. Even though we are working class, we save up to go to Disney and sometimes I feel Disney is really loosing touch of the hardworking people that save pennies to go and are true fans.
Thanks so much for telling your story Pete . I,m one of those who have only know bits as well. You are such a treat to listen too and a great diversion for many of us. I,m a nurse , well a covid nurse now and sometimes I listen to your show while on a break . You truly help brighten and give me strength to keep going during these dark days. I love love love Disney and also never went until I was an adult and had my kids. However I felt the magic from watching the Sunday night shows as a small child .. Maybe someday I,ll get there again. In the meantime I feel the joy and excitement from your show and your amazing staff!!!
Love this format Pete. Addiction to Disney is just as expensive but a whole lot more constructive. (Not sure about it being healthier because of the park food haha). Will be booking a cruise with you guys soon! All vaccinated and ready to go!
I would like to see more of this type of stuff! Maybe have some other people like rhino Craig Jackie John all do q&a's but also give their backstory with the company
Cheerful day with sunshine and Pete Werner… you are so enthusiastic towards your career…My wife and I enjoy you talking about Disney, cruises and Realty…perfect radio/TV voice
Hi Pete! LynnCC (DlS name)here, was possibly one of the first on DlS boards when it was a single forum. I welcomed Dan Murphy in on his first questions... Back then I was planning a trip with my son who was 5. He is 33 now with 4 children of his own. We are all Disney lovers. I’m in Ocala now, nice to be so close! Thank you for all you do & have done for all of us!
Love your story, I definitely get how disney was your drug. I'm a former Army Ranger and it's so weird that disney is the closest to the feeling of being alive that I can experience besides surviving a mission. I just bought into dvc because of your show. Keep it up. Thanks
You are spot on about take always from Disney. Magic bands, pay for parking, etc, etc,etc. All the things that make it special to at Disney are disappearing. We come from NY every year and magical express gone is a killer! I can only hope Disney has your channel on and listens!
Thank you for all you do. I found you a few years ago and enjoy all of the content. You have always been our connection to Disney when we can’t be there but even more so through this pandemic. I look forward to every video released. I have been living through you and your team as you go to the parks. Watching you has helped to keep me a bit sane as I still sit at my dining room table working. Can’t thank you enough.
This was an awesome show! Thank you for your honesty and candor. I appreciate the information you and your staff provide. I watch all of your shows and have for years. Much love and success to all of you.
Thank you Pete for the Dis and for you honesty. My family and I are Disney fans and fly there once a year, we love it. I agree with all the comments that you share usually! ha ha ! However we love your honesty and openness to confront the good bad and ugly, even as a super fan we also disagree with several of the "business" decisions that they are making right now. I hope that Disney listens to us their biggest fans and customers that we do not like the cuts and them slowly eroding the magic. It is hard to justify the cost when they keep cutting. The magical express is what is makes those of us fly in to just stay at the parks our entire vacation. If I have to rent a car and drag my luggage myself there is little incentive to spend the cost for the Disney resorts, I will stay in town at the Hilton Bonnet creek or something similar for much cheaper than a deluxe resort. Not a very good decision that they will regret one it is gone I am sure. Keep up the great work on the DIS we love it!
I have stayed at both Caribe Royale and Buena Vista Suites and both are fantastic. We stayed at BVS more because of the wonderful breakfast bar they have included with our stay. So many good memories. Now we travel with so many additional people we get a condo which is great too.
Your story has always resonated with me, as a new yorker who took their first disney trip at 23 while in a very dark time in my life-- wdw has been a positive force in my life and The Dis has absolutely been a part of that as well!
THANK YOU! I started watching your videos for the DW information and found that I continue to watch your videos because of you and your personality. I love your crew, but I truly appreciate you doing a solo video where you can address any questions without interruption. Your voice, personality and the pace of the content is spot on! I am decidedly a fan!
Hey Pete, just wanted to say thanks. As someone who visited WDW as a kid and now as an adult doesn’t realistically have any hope of affording a trip there from the other side of the world, you and your team offer me the next best thing. A way to reconnect to happy memories and share in a simple love of something far away.
Pete.. I have been following ya'll for years. I just want you to know that your videos mean alot. You are genuine and relatable. We love you and we appreciate your unbiased information on all of your channels. I've said it before but you remind me so much of my daddy who passed away a few years back and always bring a smile to my face when I see you get "fired up" haha.. Take care of yourself.. Stay Safe! Hugs from Wisconsin!
Thanks Pete for keeping me company my Moms favorite place was WDW and she was 39 years 4 months sober when I lost her in April her last words were be happy and travel and she loved your channel
Pete you are truly AWESOME ! From a fellow Northeaster (cape cod) We are in the process of selling our home to move and be close to Disney and all that Orlando/Florida has to offer! We have absolutely LOVED and really enjoyed each and every video you’ve shared. Also all the other great Dis people! You guys have brought me so much comfort and joy during this whole Covid crisis. THANK YOU for ALL you do!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Hugs ~Miranda 💜
Haven't watched in a while because I've been too disheartened because of having to cancel our trip a year ago, but I just got back on and I have to say, this episode was so real! Thank you. Thank you for saying what my heart's been feeling.
I remember the days when The Dis was just a podcast and not a show. I can't remember how I found it probably just surfing the internet, but I was hooked!
Always appreciate how honest you are and in touch with the business side of Disney and how it relates to us all. I can agree more with your recovery sentiments and the path that Disney is on. The value for the $ is rapidly declining as the keep cutting.
Thanks for the new content Pete. Love it, you, and your crew! Thanks for all you guys do!! You make missing Disney easier. I can come here and be with my fellow Disney addicts. I relate...I’m a 12 as well.
Pete , love you, your shows and staff! Thank you for keeping me sane during this time. As a die hard stay on property Disney addict, I have found myself so upset with all the changes. I would never think about staying anywhere else but on property; that is changing and quickly. I would love content on staying off property please.
Pete thank you so much for putting your unedited thoughts onto the internet for us all. Makes for very interesting listening. I’m excited to see how this all plays out in the next year or 5 years - and to hear your commentary along the way. I’m from the UK and hoping by some miracle to get over to the US in August but right now the pandemic is the worst it’s ever been here because of the new strain. We’ll see what happens
Thanks for answering my question pete. I love london too. One of my favs. I’m from Belfast and I suggest you visit. It’s beautiful. Happy to show you round and look after you.
Can I just say I can listen to Pete til the cows come home. ❤️
agreed 100%
Yes it’s a ... thing!
And me too!
Me also, there is such a strong sense of honesty with all of his answers.
Yes! Love Pete!
Pete is a really good speaker, captivating the audience. Guess that's why we have been watching his shows for so long!
True. He’s excellent at elocution
I find his voice very soothing, lol.
I totally agree with you. I care nothing about Disney World, but I still get something from watching and listening to his videos. It's quite enigmatic - even magical.
I like that it's not very scripted and more authentic. I think we all appreciate that!
Pete is at his best in this format no question.
I cannot overstate my absolute deep appreciation for your honesty and candidness in your answers about the mistakes you feel Disney is making with the Disney parks. As an owner of a travel agency, making those statements is clearly not easy for you. But it shows that you are a man of integrity. And that goes along way with a lot of people.

I hope my sentiment changes in the future because Disney decides to get back to better times. Here’s to hoping. Thank you for all that you do for the Disney community.
You are the sweetest and most sentimental curmudgeon and that's why I trust you for all things Disney. Thanks for sharing your love, Pete.
As someone who never had strong grand parent relationships there is something so comforting about hearing Pete talk. The jokes crack me up and brighten my day!
I agree very comforting. @Leticia
I agree but I'd love to see Pete's reaction to you comparing him to a grandparent 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Losing Magical Express is actually a pretty big blow. To me that was a big part of the Disney bubble, not just a minor thing that really didn't matter. We're almost to the point that the only perk of staying on property is the early FastPass booking window (which costs Disney nothing).
I agree. When we considered how cast members were treated during our last stay and how they are being treated now, we are having a real problem with the idea of coming back to Disney.
At $300 a night they can't give you a ride to and from the airport? Seems pretty lame to me.
Exactly.
I would rather just stay at premium Universal Resort and just cut lines all day, no need for a fastpass
They removing Disneyland annual passes. I bet they come for WDW next. This is so sad on top of the magical express.
My mom and dad brought the whole family to Disney a few years ago for their 50th wedding anniversary and loved the magical express experience. It made them feel special. Disney is getting rid of a very special perk.
"Chapek is in a dark corner touching himself" - I think I laughed for ten minutes
While Pete is in a dark room touching his staff 😂
Why did it cheer me up so much to hear that Pete was in IT before starting The Dis. Fellow IT folks unite.
First episode is 40 minutes long?! Pete, you’re spoiling us!
I'm so glad to hear about how this all started with you and the show. That's so touching on why you named the show after your dear friend. Your a sweet kind man.
I just watched the show - Pete I don’t think you are aggressive I find you are passionate about Disney! Thank you
“ he’s off in a dark corner touching himself “ I literally spit out my drink 😂😂😂
same lol
When you said " I had two modes; I was either in Disney, or was planning on going to Disney." that rang so true for me. I didn't take my first trip to Disneyworld until 2012, but I am now a platinum AP holder, and go to the parks 4-6 times a year. Thank you for creating this channel and all that you do to help me realize that I was not the only one who felt this way. :-)
I agree with Pete! We are avid stay on property ppl and we took a trip in OCT and for the fist time in 15 years we stayed off property! We got a one bedroom with kitchen @ a Homewood suites ( including a hot breakfast that was ok) for less the a room @ a value resort. It took us 15 mins to get to MK.... I don’t know if I can justify the cost with no benefits....
Same here! Went in Sept and stayed off property for the first time. I never thought I would get as enjoyable a stay elsewhere, but I was wrong, and it was cheaper!
All the feels, Pete. I think what I've appreciated the most about you over the last 13 years is your honesty. It can be a blessing and a curse, I know. I HAVE reduced my trips to WDW, because of expense. We went almost every year in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I've been twice since 2004. I think what I miss most are extra magic hours, and the parks being open until midnight or later. There was always time to ride everything you wanted if you were willing to rope drop and stay until closing. And planning has gotten so complicated that it's hard for me to recommend a WDW vacation to family members who have never been and advance planning is NOT in their toolbox. That said, I just bought into DVC and hope to go next year if the stars align.
The midnight to 2 closings were the best!
Pete- from conquering your demons to following your passion to build something so beautiful and meaningful to so many- you are a true inspiration. Wishing you- and your incredible team- a healthy, and successful 2021!
Pete I know you have other things to do but these literally could never be too long. Really appreciate the content, thank you for everything you guys do.
Pete, you make me laugh every time I watch the DIS Unplugged. Don't ever change.
Keep the Q&A’s coming! The Dis team has helped keep my sanity over the past 10 months
We love you Pete. Behind you all the way.
There must be something about visiting WDW for the first time as an adult. I was about 30 my first time. Had done Disneyland a ton as a kid, but WDW changed my life lol.
I’ve been a fan of the Dis Unplugged since 2018. In the past 3 years you and your entire team have given me so much entertainment/information, and for that I am incredibly thankful... THANK YOU!
Alternative to Pete’s Solo show! Thank you!
I love just listening to Pete talking so much
Love you so much Pete. I started following your Daily Fix back in 2016 and started watching the podcast some time after the Pulse show. I have literally not missed a single upload.
My first trip was our honeymoon in 2002. DH and I have been in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, and Disneyland in 2017. We had a trip booked UK n 2020, but had to cancel but Miss Teresa has been amazing to get us rebooked for the Reunion in September. Please give her a huge hug from me.
PS: it was an honor to meet you at the 20 Years of Dreams event.
Pete, I have enjoyed the podcasts and DISunplugged. Your rants are often heart felt and delivered with passion about a subject you love.
Loved this show, one of the best series in my opinion
I don’t always agree with Pete but I do always respect his honesty. Love this Q&A
The ap price going up was a breaking point for a lot of folks up until now. I think getting rid of the magical express, free resort parking, free magic bands and magic hours are going to be the breaking point for thousands I know it is for my family.
Your passion for everything Disney is real and unparalleled. This show creates a platform for simple as well as complex questions to be posed and answered by a pro.
Applause!
Thank you to all the DIS team! Started as a member of the Disboards in 2004. During the pandemic watched all the shows and listened to discussions. Thank you for bringing the parks into our home
@Pete you have kept me sane this year! Thank you for your time and investment to our travels.
I've been listening to you since the start. I so loved Bob Varley and his insight. I have my whole family hooked on your Podcast.
Do you think emailing Bob Chapek directly with feedback about the cancellation of the Magic Express and other cuts would make a difference if we do it en masse ?
Love the show and thank you for all the time in putting the shows together.
TY
Your truthful honesty makes you legendary. Thank you.
It was a breath of fresh air to have a simple convo. and to listen to that familiar papa bear voice. Thanks for everything you do!
I love you Pete!
You help to improve my English!
And help me to dream about the time when I’ll came back to the magic!

I would like to see more of this type of stuff! Maybe have some other people like rhino Craig Jackie John all do q&a's but also give their backstory with the company
Cheerful day with sunshine and Pete Werner… you are so enthusiastic towards your career…My wife and I enjoy you talking about Disney, cruises and Realty…perfect radio/TV voice
“Laura is a little bit of a detective.” Read “Laura is a stalker.” Lololol
Hi Pete! LynnCC (DlS name)here, was possibly one of the first on DlS boards when it was a single forum. I welcomed Dan Murphy in on his first questions... Back then I was planning a trip with my son who was 5. He is 33 now with 4 children of his own. We are all Disney lovers.

Pete, You are My Happy Place! When you say "If You Are Here, You Get It" I get Chills! I soooooo get it! I LOVE LOVE LOVE DISNEY! CAN'T GET ENOUGH!
Thank you for a great show! From a freezing Pittsburgher these shows keep me going!
Love these new q&a's with Pete
Love the solo show, Pete...thanks for taking the time.
We appreciate you Pete! And the whole DIS crew. NJ loves you and your team!
Amen to that.
This was an awesome show! Thank you for your honesty and candor. I appreciate the information you and your staff provide. I watch all of your shows and have for years. Much love and success to all of you.
Yes...more Q & A with the Pete please. You have amazing business instincts. Love hearing how everything has brought you to this moment.
Pete-youre a great storyteller. could sit and listen to you talk about anything-thanks for posting
Pete, I really enjoyed this! Please do it again! Thanks for helping me get through this pandemic! Your whole crew is awesome & amazing!♥️🌹🇨🇦🥰👍🇨🇦♥️
I love Pete - he is your favorite crusty guncle with a heart of gold. I search out vids where he is the primary speaker.
Jersey girl here!! Morristown!! Love this Q & A!! Thank you!
Thank you Pete for the Dis and for you honesty. My family and I are Disney fans and fly there once a year, we love it. I agree with all the comments that you share usually! ha ha ! However we love your honesty and openness to confront the good bad and ugly, even as a super fan we also disagree with several of the "business" decisions that they are making right now. I hope that Disney listens to us their biggest fans and customers that we do not like the cuts and them slowly eroding the magic. It is hard to justify the cost when they keep cutting. The magical express is what is makes those of us fly in to just stay at the parks our entire vacation. If I have to rent a car and drag my luggage myself there is little incentive to spend the cost for the Disney resorts, I will stay in town at the Hilton Bonnet creek or something similar for much cheaper than a deluxe resort. Not a very good decision that they will regret one it is gone I am sure.
Keep up the great work on the DIS we love it!
Thank you for doing this Q&A Pete, and thank you for your kind comments towards the listeners. I hope you do more of these in the future.
“I am between husbands and accepting applications.”🤣
I thought Pete and Shaun were a thing also.
I have stayed at both Caribe Royale and Buena Vista Suites and both are fantastic. We stayed at BVS more because of the wonderful breakfast bar they have included with our stay. So many good memories. Now we travel with so many additional people we get a condo which is great too.
Pete, thanks for a great show. Kudos for you being so forthcoming.......not everyone can be truthful.
Your story has always resonated with me, as a new yorker who took their first disney trip at 23 while in a very dark time in my life-- wdw has been a positive force in my life and The Dis has absolutely been a part of that as well!
I love the off the cuff answers. Unscripted Q&A is awesome! Keep them coming.
THANK YOU! I started watching your videos for the DW information and found that I continue to watch your videos because of you and your personality. I love your crew, but I truly appreciate you doing a solo video where you can address any questions without interruption.
Your voice, personality and the pace of the content is spot on! I am decidedly a fan!
Hey Pete, just wanted to say thanks. As someone who visited WDW as a kid and now as an adult doesn’t realistically have any hope of affording a trip there from the other side of the world, you and your team offer me the next best thing. A way to reconnect to happy memories and share in a simple love of something far away.
We love you Pete!! Would definitely tune into a live show!!!
Pete.. I have been following ya'll for years. I just want you to know that your videos mean alot. You are genuine and relatable. We love you and we appreciate your unbiased information on all of your channels. I've said it before but you remind me so much of my daddy who passed away a few years back and always bring a smile to my face when I see you get "fired up" haha.. Take care of yourself.. Stay Safe! Hugs from Wisconsin!
I love you Pete and your crew. You are a fabulous man. Thank you for keep us all going this past year. You are such a blessing
Thanks, Pete! Love you and the whole team. Thank you for what you do - keepin' the magic going for all of us no matter where we are. :)
Thanks Pete for keeping me company my Moms favorite place was WDW and she was 39 years 4 months sober when I lost her in April her last words were be happy and travel and she loved your channel
Pete you are truly AWESOME ! From a fellow Northeaster (cape cod) We are in the process of selling our home to move and be close to Disney and all that Orlando/Florida has to offer! We have absolutely LOVED and really enjoyed each and every video you’ve shared. Also all the other great Dis people! You guys have brought me so much comfort and joy during this whole Covid crisis. THANK YOU for ALL you do!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Hugs ~Miranda 💜
Charging for resort parking has made me the most pissed off.
FABULOUS question Laura McDill!! ☺️ I’ve pieced much of this together ... as a 3 year fan but hearing it all from Pete was great!
Would love to see more of these!
Off in the corner touching himself 🤣🤣 I’m watching you while on my elliptical, laughed so hard I slipped and then laughed harder.
Great Show!! I look forward to more Q and A with Pete 😊
I would love to hear you talk more about buying/renting vacation homes!
OMG YOUR “JERSEY GROOVE” GIVES ME LIFE!!! LOL I’M A JERSEYITE TOO! LOVE YOU!!!
You know I've been trying to put together the story from older episodes. Thank you for this.
Haven't watched in a while because I've been too disheartened because of having to cancel our trip a year ago, but I just got back on and I have to say, this episode was so real! Thank you. Thank you for saying what my heart's been feeling.
I remember the days when The Dis was just a podcast and not a show. I can't remember how I found it probably just surfing the internet, but I was hooked!
Always appreciate how honest you are and in touch with the business side of Disney and how it relates to us all. I can agree more with your recovery sentiments and the path that Disney is on. The value for the $ is rapidly declining as the keep cutting.
This is awesome Pete, thank you!
So much fun listening to your life! I love all the people on your shows.
Great to hear your story of how you got started. I beat you out, I was 60 my first air flight and trip to Disney!
Thanks for the new content Pete. Love it, you, and your crew! Thanks for all you guys do!! You make missing Disney easier. I can come here and be with my fellow Disney addicts. I relate...I’m a 12 as well.
Pete , love you, your shows and staff! Thank you for keeping me sane during this time. As a die hard stay on property Disney addict, I have found myself so upset with all the changes. I would never think about staying anywhere else but on property; that is changing and quickly. I would love content on staying off property please.
Pete thank you so much for putting your unedited thoughts onto the internet for us all. Makes for very interesting listening. I’m excited to see how this all plays out in the next year or 5 years - and to hear your commentary along the way. I’m from the UK and hoping by some miracle to get over to the US in August but right now the pandemic is the worst it’s ever been here because of the new strain. We’ll see what happens
Thanks for answering my question pete. I love london too. One of my favs. I’m from Belfast and I suggest you visit. It’s beautiful. Happy to show you round and look after you.
WDW was a great experience for us as a family from 1976-2010.It has changed drastically over the last decade for the worse.
I LOVE you Pete!! You make my day better!!
Thanks so much Pete for these Q & A videos. Been a fan of The Dis for 4 years now and love all the content. Makes me miss Disney World. 😓
