Actually it's a lot more than 20. I have to thank Disney for inviting our Q105 crew to Orlando to check out all that's new for 2020 at Walt Disney World.

Wow.

Check out this view I had during my Q105 broadcast! Certainly beats the view I normally have in the studio of a parking lot!

The Rise of the Resistance ride has chapters like in a book. It's unlike any ride you've ever been on.

Star Wars Rise of the Resistance lives up to the hype. You are taken hostage on a ship with life size sets complete with Storm Troopers!

We also got a preview of the first ever Mickey and Minnie ride opening in March. My tip: if you go, stand in the middle near the front when you watch the movie!

My friend Rachel got me to go on the Toy Story coaster "Slinky Dog Dash"... it looked like a kids ride so I was skeptical, but it was really fun. The sound effects along the way are awesome.

Producer Coop and I designed this eyesore at #Epcot Test Track Monday. We went for as undesirable as possible. I think our concept is a masterpiece. We also decided to use Chinese for our text which in retrospect might have been a poor choice but I assume the loose translation is “hideous.”

Test Track at Epcot has some BEAUTIFUL cars to check out

I'm a huge Muppets fan. Always have to see the 3D movie. Statler and Waldorf are my favorites.

Had 2 incredible meals at Homecomin' Kitchen at Disney Springs. This burger and the fried chicken sandwich I had were good. But be sure to get the chips with extra topping, the cole slaw and sweet tea. Just excellent.

Avatar Flight of Passage is my new favorite. It's stunning... it is an emotional experience - so beautiful. You just want to live there for hours.

"Soarin' Around the World" is another favorite ride - I loved the California version of the ride but the trip around the world was cool - especially climbing the Eiffel Tower!
