The Park Hopper Show - 037a - Say No to Spirit
Normally, I try to stay positive so here's the deal... This is the first half of episode 37 - just the long rant about Spirit Airlines should never be trusted with a dime of your money. If you would rather just skip that nonsense and listen to the Magic Kingdom recap, check out episode 37b

The Park Hopper Show - 037 - Say No to Spirit and Disneying Alone
Paul is back from his recent work trip that took him to sunny Kissimee...and when in Rome. After work hours - a trip to Disney Springs and the Magic Kingdom was a must. But a disastrous choice to choose price over professionalism almost caused the trip to be cancelled. Spirit Airlines is hot garbage and you're being warned by a friend :) If you want to skip the negative first half of this podcast, I'm also releasing each half broken up so feel free to choose how you want to listen.
