First up, Jenn is getting ready for her trip, while Dave has just seen his own family off to the Most Magical Place on Earth -- then, a quick aside about... beverage coolers. Yes, those almost but not quite fridges in resort rooms... the differences, where to find them, and what to do if you need one.

Then, starting in January, we begin to look at 2026 month by month... the attraction opening and closings, Aerosmith closing, any big news, Disney/Marvel/Star Wars releases, D23, the returns of festivals and other events and much, much more.

Jenn chats a little about the Disney Adventure and what to expect, marathon weekends, Hannah Montana's 20th anniversary, and both of us try to figure out who or what the heck is Wonder Man...

(All announcements are as up to date as we could get it - but things can always change...)
