Welp. We did it. We went to space. Thanks to your support, a favor from a friend in Disney's gaming department, and our realization that our rainy day fund had finally found a storm worth being spent on, we flew down to Orlando and took in the sights, sounds, tastes, smells and stories of the Galactic Starcruiser.
This episode, recorded about a week after our visit to the Halcyon, is just one of two episodes we're releasing on our experience. The other will be a combined episode, exclusive for Patrons, that we recorded on Natalie's phone on nights 1 and 2 of the visit, which will drop next Wednesday, along with some photos from our trip! For that, make sure to join our Patreon ( which also gets you access to a a monthly Q&A cast) by going to patreon.com/civilized.
Hosted by Rob Zacny (@RobZacny)

Produced by Ricardo Contreras (@a_cado_appears)

0:37.3 | episodes and gives us access to some of the silliest and weirdest experiences of our lives |
0:43.2 | or at least did in this case because as many folks have probably already seen and heard, |
0:48.9 | we took the Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser last week, which is a soon to be shuttered |
0:55.3 | attraction at Disney World. I think we have discussed on the podcast or one of the patreon |
1:00.2 | shows before I can't recall those conversations exactly, but I'm pretty sure they were along |
