Permanent Ride Closures at Disney World, Rise of the Resistance & COVID + Disney’s 3 Peoplemovers!

Disney Hacks Podcast Episode 9

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. Look for a video version coming soon! We also have our Miles to Memories YouTube channel where lately I’ve been putting up travel videos + Vegas tours.

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 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

Walt Disney World announced a few permanent closures of attractions including a fairly new show and a set of coasters that few people will miss. We also go in depth on Rise of the Resistance in the new era and how it compares to the experience before. Is it better or worse?

During the show we also discuss Universal’s decision to cancel Halloween Horror Nights and then we profess our love for Disney’s Peoplemovers. Find out the history of these amazing rides plus how you can ride Disney’s often forgotten 3rd Peoplemover in Houston, but it probably won’t be around for long.
