I'm going to be honest. I have no idea what was discussed early on in the show since I was working.
When I finally got an opportunity to join in, Lisa and Dave were talking buffets at Walt Disney World.

I tried to be involved as much as possible, but my work vehicle is incredibly noisy, so I apologize for what will likely be somewhat distracting. To make things even more interesting, Lisa had some internet connectivity issues. We apologize for that as well.

Hang in there though, please, as I am sure it is a great show. Right?

Deluxe Resorts - Episode 175 of the Disney Exchange

The Disney Exchange is Lisa, Dave and Nick 

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Well, it was bound to happen. We have our first 3 star review on iTunes.

Ironically, the less than favorable review is for Episode 171, where we are criticized for reviewing all of the Value Resorts, despite, as we are accused of, not staying at them all, which is an inaccurate statement. Between the 3 of us, we have stayed at every All Star, Pop, Art of Animation, and even a Cabin at Fort Wilderness. Maybe they were upset we never camped out at FW?
BTW, it's you're, as in you are, and not the possessive "your."

This week, we are discussing Deluxe Resorts, and, full disclosure, we have NOT all stayed at every one of these.

• Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
• Disney's Beach Club Resort
• Disney's BoardWalk Inn
• Disney's Contemporary Resort
• Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
• Disney's Polynesian Village Resort 

• Disney's Wilderness Lodge
• Disney's Yacht Club Resort

The Wheel of Distiny Topic this week : Deadpool 2 is coming out next month. Excited, or no interest?
