What’s your favorite Walt Disney World theme park is not as simple a question as it seems. Sure, we all have our personal favorites in general. But particular circumstances might mean that under those conditions, you would rank the parks differently. Aaron, Willie and Tim look at a number of situations, primarily related to perks for onsite guests and the new Disney Genie service to see how they impact their rankings.
(Note: This show was recorded in late September, and some of the implementation details of the Genie service were still speculative. Most of our assessments hold up pretty well).
