First Thought, Best Thought

Welcome, Foolish Mortals, to another episode of the Grim Grinning Dads! This week, the Dads are playing “First Thought, Best Thought,” firing off quick reactions to Disney rides, restaurants, lands, resorts, snacks, transportation, and everything in between. Before the game begins, we dive into some Disney news, including the return of Disney After Hours in 2027, the removal of single rider at Expedition Everest, and a giant Lily Pad DJ coming to Alien Swirling Saucers. Naturally, the Dads have opinions about whether the new Toy Story addition fits Andy’s backyard or feels a little forced. Then it’s time for the rapid-fire Disney Parks debate. We travel from Disneyland to Walt Disney World, talking Sleeping Beauty Castle, the Matterhorn, Indiana Jones Adventure, Pirates, Blue Bayou, the PeopleMover, Happily Ever After, the ferry boat versus monorail, Casey’s Corner, Spaceship Earth, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Living with the Land, and plenty more. The Dads make their way around World Showcase before heading to Hollywood Studios for the Skyliner, Millennium Falcon, Tower of Terror, Woody’s Lunch Box, and Sci-Fi Dine-In. Animal Kingdom gets its turn with Flight of Passage, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Festival of the Lion King, and Satu’li Canteen. We also stop at some favorite Disney resorts, debate Disney Springs, My Disney Experience, and Memory Maker, and finally turn the spotlight on Disney fans themselves. Are we passionate, particular, impatient… or maybe just a little Veruca Salt? Grab your favorite Disney snack and join the Dads for a fast-paced episode packed with nostalgia, hot takes, questionable opinions, and plenty of Disney arguments.
