The Holidays are here and that means the crowds are too - at least at Walt Disney World! On this month's episode, we're sharing our tips and strategies for managing the crowds and maximizing the magic if you're visiting the parks during the busier times of year - Christmas, Spring Break, 4th of July - if it's busy, we're here to help.

And in 3 Things, we're talking about our favorite parts of World Showcase at Epcot as well as some great ideas for "free fun" at WDW.

If you have a discussion topic or an idea for 3 Things, we'd love to hear from you! Just drop your idea in an email to ourdisneyopinions@gmail.com. Thanks to all of our listeners, likers, and subscribers! Keep spreading the word :)

With the reopening of Blizzard Beach, we decided it was time to give the Disney Water Parks some attention. And while this episode features plenty of opinions (especially when it comes to which water park is better), spoiler alert: we love the water parks. We're talking how to work them into your trip, best time of year to go, and how long to spend once you get there. If you've never added a water park day to your Disney vacation, maybe this episode will change your mind. Plus, in 3 Things, we're giving advice for WDW first-timers, with the help of Goofy Getaways Travel Consultants Amy Fisher and Kathryn Cyr-Lopez!

Everyone knows about Disney's most popular restaurants. But what about those lesser-known hidden gems? We invite our friends Amy and Kayla to join us for a look at some of Disney's best food options that you may have forgotten about. Whether it's in the parks or at a resort, we cover lots of ground, find some new spots to try, and learn a few Mobile Ordering tricks along the way.

And on 3 Things, we get nostalgic as we each share 3 attractions, shows, or experiences we wish Disney would bring back. Did your favorite make the list? What would you add that we forgot?

And on a new round of 3 Things, we discuss our favorite themed areas across Walt Disney World property and Julie asks Jason to look back on his time as a Cast Member and share some memories.
