Episode Details

We’re recapping the second half of our recent Disney trip, including our stay at All-Star Sports, nighttime fun at Hollywood Studios, and a full breakdown of our EPCOT rope drop strategy. 

We’ll share our experience staying at All-Star Sports, what worked, what didn’t, and how it compares to other value resorts. Plus, we’ll talk about updates at the resort, including the removal of AI ordering machines and how it affected the overall experience as well as what it is like to stay at the value resorts during national team competitions.

Then we head to EPCOT to track every step of our morning to give you the best strategy for early entry. We’ll break down how to maximize your morning. We’ll also discuss Lightning Lanes, pricing options, and whether paying for Cosmic Rewind is worth it.

Whether you’re planning a stay at All-Star Sports or looking for the best way to tackle EPCOT rope drop, this episode is packed with helpful tips and real-time strategies.
