Backside of Magic
A show focused on the discussion of how to get the most out of your time at Walt Disney World by considering every available advantage during planning and once on the ground. We analyze and test pre-arrival strategies, the latest in-park systems, and money-saving techniques in an effort to determine the best ways to maximize fun and minimize costs.
Gift cards, FastPasses, touring strategy, and other stuff. Be well, everyone. Thanks for listening!

NOTE: There were two errors in the final list of restaurants we produced for our discussion of Tables in Wonderland. First, Boma should have been in the list of restaurants that are eligible for a 10% off AP discount. Second, we (Jeremy) neglected to copy his second page of written notes into the spreadsheet that included all of the in-park and Disney Springs restaurants that are covered by some level of AP discount. The spreadsheet has been updated to correct both of these issues -- very sorry about that!
