Do you expect the overall prices for Disney world vacations to go back down in the future? Seeing the price increase over the last few years and seeing it climb will they bring anything down to offset it or is this just the new normal?

What are the new timelines for different parts of check in? Is there any benefit to being platinum any more?

What are the post COVID DCL changes you like and those you dislike?

For someone who has never been on a cruise with 2 adult 2 kids 5 and 10 what would be a good one to do? And I get sea sick on sail boats do I need to worry on a cruise ship??

Is there any down time while on the cruise ships during the day? Are the days full of things to do during sailing or is there a lot of just hanging out in the rooms?

What are the mistakes you were doing on first DCL cruises and now you don't?

Is it worth going on DCL when your kids are too young for the free child care?/ is a Disney cruise worth it if you leave your child at home

Is DCL still offering Upgrades at the port?

How will Everest closing/refurbish affect animal Kingdom Tourin in early 2022?

When are character meets coming back?

Is WDW getting more spontaneity friendly?

Can you provide a “brake even” on the new Annual Passes?

How long would Doug last at WDW if he were wearing 2 left shoes? Would he even make it to the park entrance?

Worse name: Mickey and Minnie’s runaway railway or Creations shop

With the new Genie plus do you think it’s better to stay on property or would you save that money and go off property and pay for genie plus and lightning passes for the few that genie plus isn’t available for?

Question, breakfast spots in each part always seem to be a challenge any advice?

What is your favorite cruise destination and why? And favorite ship and why? Also: I’m a dentist too
