The Disney Parks are filled with extra magic at the holidays, but this year brings cutbacks as well. We'll show you where and how much sparkle has been lost. There's also news of maintenance issues in the parks. It's not all bad news, an EPIC new attraction is on the way to both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. And an out of this world restaurant may have encountered a speed bump on the way to orbit.

Doug and Dusty are joined by Flordia native Stephenie Pashkowsky this week to find out. Which resort is better, Disneyland or Disney World? Which Pixar land is best, Pixar Pier or Toy Story Land? This show is a lot of fun, dive in and let us know if you agree with our crazy points of view.
