    11/02/2011 Duration: 01h25min

      Aaron continues the trip report from his WDW Spring Break vacation with his friend Courtney, but this time, things are a little different. Having realized just how chronologically inaccurate the first episode was, Aaron pulls the reigns in from Courtney and guides you through this part of the trip from inside the studio. There are lots of anecdotes and in-park audio along the way, however, including:   • A tourist's complaint at Hollywood Studios Guest Relations • Ride-throughs on Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad • An over-eager tourist who's a little too happy to be meeting someone from England • Audio of Aaron's first-ever ride on Tower of Terror (who screams more embarrassingly? Aaron, or the row of teen girls beside him?) • Churro feedback for the Disney Dining folks • And much, much more!   Once again, your host is new to the world of field recording, so the audio quality isn't always the best. Thank you for your patience! We'll get better with time!  Headph
