Episode Description
If you’re heading to Walt Disney World in 2026, this episode of Rope Drop Radio is your fast-track to smarter planning. Doug and Lauren share 26 quick-hit Disney tips that reflect how the parks really work right now—not advice from someone’s cousin who hasn’t been since 2019.
From free food and water, to transportation truths, these tips will help you move faster, wait less, and enjoy more magic on your next trip.
And yes—we clear up a Lightning Lane naming mistake right out of the gate. 😉
