Is 2026 the worst year to visit Disney World, or is everyone sleeping on a golden opportunity? 

With major refurbishments closing beloved attractions across all four parks, we’re diving deep into the question every Disney fan is asking: should you book, wait, or pivot to Universal’s shiny new Epic Universe?

Join us for interactive games including park-by-park “Would You Rather” challenges, and a brutal budget breakdown that calculates your actual dollars-per-ride. We’ll debate the silver linings (lower crowds? discounts? soft openings?), compare alternatives, and give our final verdicts on who should GO and who should SKIP 2026. 

Plus, we want YOUR hot takes—text us your vote and join the debate on social media using #DisneyDecision2026.

Whether you’re a first-timer, an annual passholder, or a family who’s been saving for years, this episode will help you make the call. Let’s settle this once and for all!
