We all have those days at Walt Disney World where we just didn't get to the parks early. Some of us never arrive early at all. Others of us have good intentions, but, hey, we watched the fireworks the night before and we slept in.

Disney changes a lot. In fact, Walt Disney himself said that the parks would never be complete. And with change comes a lot of feelings. Many Disney fans are nostalgic and remember things a specific way. And yet, Disney will inevitably change that and attractions, shows, entertainment, hotels, and more will evolve. In this episode we talk about what changes we have really liked and those we don't. Which changes do you love and hate?
