Disney Hacks Podcast Episode 12

Hey everyone! Many of you know the Miles to Memories blog, but we also create content in a number of other ways. First, we have the MtM Podcast which is where you will want to go to hear the latest miles/points commentary and news. We also have our Miles to Memories YouTube channel where we put up select video segments from the podcast plus travel & Vegas videos. Our YouTube has been on fire lately. Thanks to everyone who watches and subscribes.

And don’t forget about our 12K member miles/points Facebook group or our Exclusive Patreon Diamond where we put out subscriber only bonus content (award booking, spending and more) each and every month plus host private Discord & Facebook communities.

Disney Hacks Podcast

Finally we have the Disney Hacks podcast where we marry the worlds of travel hacking and Disney! Our goal on the show is to teach others how to save time & money on Disney! While giving practical advice has been a bit difficult lately, things are finally getting into gear at Disney and we have you covered.

This Week’s Disney Hacks Podcast

This week we had a very special show with our friend Gary Taylor joining us to talk Disney. He spent a couple of years as a Walt Disney World cast member and shares what he thinks are some of the benefits and more importantly the drawbacks of working at Disney. He was also a famous Jungle Cruise skipper and I pick his brain about that experience! I don’t know about you, but being a Jungle Cruise skipper seems like one of the coolest jobs at Disney!

Despite no official confirmation, it also seems like Disneyland is moving towards reopening as soon as California allows. We discuss that news plus the released photos of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway under vertical construction in the Toontown area. That ride has now been delayed until 2023, but it’s awesome to see them moving forward with such a massive project.
