Mike Rahlmann — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Today we are trying somewhat of a new concept here on the show with “What’s Your Disney Story?” This came to me over Marathon Weekend, as the theme of the weekend was different genres of stories. runDisney announcer Riley was out in the corrals each morning interviewing folks before the races asking simply, “What’s Your Story? Why are you here?” and the answers were amazing! I thought this would be a great way to get to know some members of our community! Today, I ask how Listener Zach from Connecticut first became a Disney fan, memories of his first Disney trip, first encounters with the Disney online community, thoughts on being a “Disney Adult” and why he keeps coming back! We share lots of laughs and memories along the way! We hope you can continue the conversation with us this week in the Be Our Guest Podcast Clubhouse at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse!

We start by hearing a few highlights from Scott’s 3-night Disney Dream cruise out of Fort Lauderdale over the Labor Day Weekend, where he had an extended aft-facing verandah! We got into a conversation over if a 3-night cruise “scratches that itch” for a sailing or if it just goes too quickly. We had some great calls as well discussing upcoming sailings, including a Halloween on the High Seas cruise, paired with a Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom, a call about ground transportation to a cruise, and some fun Disneyland discussion as well! This and much more on today’s show! Come join us in the BOGP Clubhouse this week at www.beourguestpodcast.com/discord. Please visit our website at www.beourguestpodcast.com.

Also, how do you handle the last day when you have a late flight, but you have to check-out of your room earlier in the day? Do you keep going hard at the parks? Do you hang at your resort until heading back to the airport? I’m very curious to hear how you handle these situations! We hope you enjoy today’s podcast!

In light of the current situation around the world, I think we needed to come together as a podcast family for a bit just to check-in on each other. During this show that was recorded live on Tuesday night, May 19, 2020, we speculate on the reopening of Disney Springs, which was happening the next day! We talk about what we think we would need to do to get in Disney Springs, what this meant for the theme parks in the future and how the public would react. Were we accurate? It’s a fun look-back 6 weeks later! If you need a bit of a pick-me-up, this show might do the trick. Thank you sincerely for always being a part of our podcast community. We have something special here and together, we will make it through this stronger than before. Blessings – Mike
