RETRO PTPD! Episode from the Week Ending October 25, 2013

This might be both our best and worst episode to date. We start normally (well, as normally as we can) with:

• Fastpass Double Dipping
• Starbucks Concept Art?
• Frozen Characters
• Universal Dining Plan
• Space Mountain Comic Book??

Then we delve into a fully scripted, fully made-up, fully ridiculous version of the Jingle Cruise, the holiday overlay for the popular attraction. It really is quite fantastic if I do say so myself.

RETRO PTPD! Episode from the Week Ending September 20, 2013

This was a long, weird episode that was not so current due to Brian traveling to Walt Disney World (and definitely not Universal). It was fun though and involved us making up news...more than normal anyway.
