Dan and Annie's robot stand-in "Robot Annie" discuss the Disney news of the week, including increases in Disney World pricing, the Muppet Movie soundtrack on vinyl, how cranky people are about the Disneyland Subs being drained, the addition of Marvel and other non-Disney characters and more!

Then they do Dan's version of Disney Dummies, called "Cranky A-Holes" where people complain about just about everything, but especially the busses. Pretty much we disagree with the premise that the busses suck. They don't.

Lastly they discuss Disney World restaurants. Their favorite counter service places, their worst meal at WDW, and the restaurant they most want to try.

Did we mention Annie's a Robot?
