The Case For with Chris Cox

@Jeff_AZ If you are looking for poll ideas, I’d love to see a poll asking how many people have cut back or quit booking TS reservations because of LL expenses. We used to book multiple TS meals over the course of a trip, often one per day, but now might do one or two or none. ADRs are wide open when you look in MDE.

He didn’t butcher my name too badly. He just made the J sound instead of H with VillareJos. It’s like Villa-RAY-hos. But I think him for apologizing to my PhD :joy::upside_down_face::face_with_peeking_eye:

It’s funny you ask that … did you see the Touring Plans post on Instagram asking basically that same question?

I’m spending 1 less day in the parks to pay for LLs.

For those of us not on Instagram, here’s the TP blog about it.

Thank you all for your excellent comments. I love reading them all! Keep them coming (plus let me know how to pronounce your name, I don’t want to be giving out any more PHDs!) and Jeff, please keep the polls going, you’re my poll king!

Are you kidding? They like your polls as is. What would you be more careful about?

Btw thanks for posting that link - first time I ever listened to a podcast. Does anyone do transcripts for podcasts?

We essentially moved our LL budget into TS. For our 2025 trip, we optimized the budget by booking a lower crowd week, seeking discounts for nearly every purchase, and rope dropping to minimize LL use (purchases two days of LLMP
and 2 LLSP) and increase TS (to 5.) I did one TS meal during my 2022 trip, and used G+ every day.

We are early risers, so skipping LL for most days didn’t negatively affect the trip, and we enjoyed not being in our phones so much.

Do you mean do I read instead of listen? Usually not. But sometimes I check the transcript if I missed something while listening and want to go back and see what they said without searching through the audio.

I will often check the transcript if I am looking for specific info that was in the podcast. I have copied and pasted info from transcripts many times to answer chat questions.
