We are trying something new today that Mike has been wanting to do for years! It’s a new concept called the “BOGP Time Capsule.” This is a show where we open the phone lines immediately after some big Disney news to capture the thoughts of our listeners on how a change will affect our future trips! Today, we discuss how the MAJOR changes to Genie+/Lightning Lane Multi Pass/Single Pass system will change our trips starting on July 24, 2024! We get some great calls and even better points made during this discussion! Please share your thoughts over on the Discord channel at www.beourguestpodcast.com/discord.

Happy Monday from the Disney Fantasy, everyone! Today, Mike shares everything he is looking forward to on his Disney Fantasy cruise with his family that he is on this week!
