Anybody else now looking for clues on Tom's desk now? TC...stay strong. Depression is no joke and you seem to be on the upswing. Looking forward to the future of WDWNT! WIGS UNITE!
Thank you Disney for opening up this opportunity to allow WDW News Today to be on the Media List and have first access because this is where I get all of my Disney news and make my plans on visiting your parks.
Been a fan for years now and do happy to have you guys back on the Media List, well deserved. You don’t need to kiss up to the mouse, you just give the honest reviews and news. Always respected how you aren’t afraid to criticize while also being respectful of the work of all the cast members and imaginers. Here’s to many more years hopefully of amazing coverage.
Glad to hear that the feud is over, and that Disney is cool with you providing your coverage without any expectation that you will always praise their performance as a company.
Tom and the entire WDWNT News Today family, I am very happy that you and Disney have mended fences and are working together again. As someone that knows tension in the work place can have very negative effects on your life it is wonderful that your tension has been lifted. I have faith in you that you will stick to your morals and continue to be honest with us as you always have.
So happy with the company contacting u guys, it means a lot to u but also a lot to us because it tells us that there willing listen to the most passionate fans and fix things that we don’t like and also hear some ideas we have as well! Really hope it’s a massive turning point in the company that’s been in a dark time!
Thank you for the disclaimer. Congratulations again. I am happy to see good news about Disney. That a large company like Disney can revisit a situation and change . Tom and the team are continue to do a good job providing updates and history to the fans. Always enjoy the food reviews with you and Eric.
Disney, if you're reading this, and I'm sure you are, THANK YOU for adding WDW News Today back to the approved media list and inviting them! I always want to hear from them first. Well done, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Nana’s expressions are everything…. Congrats on the truce with Disney. Your organization is great and your ethics should be recognized. Looking forward to future reviews.
I love the festival funnel cakes even at their high price tag! They’re always made fresh to order and absolutely delicious! Thank you Tom and Eric for giving them the love they deserve! Most vloggers complain about the price tag and skip over them.
Thanks Tom! Your so appreciated, everyone has put there time in and so deserve all the support from Disney, simple. The gifts 🎁 were simply wonderful and as you shared, an amazing jester 🎉🎉🎉
Hugs 🤗 I also battle depression. Prayers for you to keep up the good fight everyday. 💜Thank you all for everything you all have been doing and all of the honesty of you all. ❤💜 hugs 🤗
I absolutely love your full disclosure, Tom!! Not many other channels admit the scope of the media / Disney company relationship and I love to know how honest and transparent you remain to be while maintaining a healthy relationship with the company…it’s refreshing and makes me trust you guys. Most other channels I watch do not do that. They take the money, hashtag “hosted” and I already know they’re working for the Disney company, not the consumer.
Way to go WDW NT. Tom stay real and keep listening and learning. Make the best of all situations. Everyone should go forward in life that way. Now let’s have a great 2024.
I am beyond excited for you guys to get the recognition and opportunities afforded by media access. There’s no one that has as much comprehensive coverage as you do across the parks 🤘🏻
Wow!!! So great and so happy for you guys! It's about time!!! Going to Disney in February and we are so thankful for your work, it will help us choose what to get and not get...and help us manage our time better for the snacks at this festival! Thank you for your honesty and HONEST reviews!!! ❤
Yay Nana my favourite 😊 I agree, what was that red sauce about? sesame balls are great as they are! ❤ Keep up thr good work Tom, Eric, Nana and all the team!!
I am so excited for this new era of WDWNT where you aren’t actively being persecuted! I can imagine how the old regime would’ve spun anyone into a mental health crisis- having a company you love actively know you, BY NAME, and you know for a fact they talk about you and that it isn’t positive would’ve wrecked me too. I am so glad they’re building bridges and bringing you back into the fold. They should appreciate genuine, but respectful, criticism like yours. Love doesn’t mean blindly accepting everything to reap the rewards given by your loved one- it means constantly wanting the best for them, encouraging growth, cheering on even minor accomplishments, and acknowledging realistic shortcomings and working on how to improve or move forward. It’s clear you love Disney.
Happy for you and the entire staff of news today being back on the media list. I believe you will continue to be honest in your reviews to give us the best information. Thank you all for all you do!
Tom I am do happy for you and your team! I am glad that Disney is welcoming you back into the family. All you and your team do is want the Best for the Guest/consumer and you ensure that Walt Disney's Dream stays true to the World
I'm glad you were invited back on the list again...Depression is no joke; I would know as I have been fighting it off and on for 20+ years now. I also enjoy the Tom and Eric food review videos. BTW I had a bird poop on me in WDW in the 90s...it pooped on my arm and on my Aladdin coloring book.
God, this is hysterical. Tom's face when trying something he doesn't end up liking makes my day. Thanks for the laughs on a cold, snowy day. PS You can't convince me that tiny bread bowl is worth ten bucks.
10:30 I'll never get tired of that soundtrack❤ Hearing that just makes a person think of rainbow tunnels, a Dreamfinder, and a Figment popping out of the back of a flying machine.
Thank you for your candor and I think any of us who have done this for any length of time know that you will be nothing but blunt and honest. Sometimes everything will be amazing but sometimes it won't be. Rest assured there are plenty of other folks on the internet who will continue to say how wonderful everything is regardless of whether it's actually true sadly
Tom, i’m glad that Disney extended that all of branch to you, but I just want you to know - I watch you and your team because of your honest opinions -you don’t have to be the first ones at any of the events. I just wait for your coverage. You’ve always gone far and beyond trying “all “ the food and drinks that are available at the festivals. Which beats watching numerous bloggers, trying one or two dishes. Just be more confident of what you do ! thank you -for years of entertainment. You and your team are truly top-notch.
Tuna fish sandwiches, lobster rolls, shrimp cocktail, smoked salmon, salmon candy, sushi, oysters on the half shell with nothing on it - l heart all the cold seafood! If seafood is fresh, it shouldn't be that strong, hot or cold. Caviar is still on my list to try!
50:42 the way she feels about the dish with the pocky is how I feel about the “wagyu” bao bun. Also 1:13:27 I would assume that’s cuz that vegan stuff didn’t sell very well cuz from what I understand that’s the main way they decide what to keep or get rid of in the festivals.
I'm not at all surprised that you guys made it back on the media list after pretty much all of the honest reviews aside from Avengers Campus have been positive, but I feel like the negative reaction to Avengers Campus is more than deserved. Also, Nana needs her own show!
I noticed when you were reviewing the funnel cake, the two kids in the background climbing a post. Another example of parents letting their kids run wild in the park.
I'm waiting to see the child fall from the post in the background while you guys are eating the funnel cake. So the parents will be upset when the child falls because it's not their fault they were inattentive and their child climbed and fell. Why we can't have nice things
I've seen your channel over the years, but never watched your content until I guess the re-launch? of the podcast. Its fun, I like your good natured curmudgeon attitude ;) I'm vegan so I'm glad you spoke up about only being 2 items, so many could easily be vegan with minor tweaks so its always frustrating. If you can make it vegetarian you might as well go full vegan.
The condiment is served to be dipped. Its always how i see them at epcot. Eat it with the entree , or you better be licking the plate clean. You dont toss out the chef's art.🧐
Great to know they listen to your channel and comments. Can you get them the feedback that it's obvious the sizes of the drinks and food have seen huge reductions while increasing the prices by 1$ or more? I have pictures from each year 2019-2023 and the sizes are getting smaller by idk 🤷♀️ alot. It's literally not being talked about. Just people mad at the prices but prices go up. I get that but not reduce portions and then hit me with a 1$ increase as well.... It really made the biggest impact on our experience at Epcot because we felt taken advantage of. It shouldn't cost us 15 or 16 for small margs at booths even the beloved avocado margaritas are almost 20 a piece and have become tiny. The slices of meat they are selling I saw on another channel of their portion of Carne asada vs the picture in front of the booth is hilariously different. I think they need to take into account that we may can get in the park at a certain a budget but we want to be able to enjoy being in the dang place. That includes food and bev
Can anyone please inform me on what happened with WDW News & Disney in 2017? I know they're trying to move forward, but I'm interested to know why there was tension in the first place!
I'm so glad Disney and you have mended fences. Hope it continues, because the "Honest Reviews" and Tom's occasional rants in WDWNT posts are really important to visitors. Note to the employee videoing Tom and Eric--it would have been helpful to show the food more often. Perhaps you could have shot more table and less sky in the wide shots.
Me: will they actually be honest?
Eric: this one tastes like chloraseptic
Lol same
This was the funniest, driest video y’all could do as your first Disney media invite!
More Jill and Nana in videos please! Hi Jill and Nana!❤❤
Anybody else now looking for clues on Tom's desk now? TC...stay strong. Depression is no joke and you seem to be on the upswing. Looking forward to the future of WDWNT! WIGS UNITE!

The triple combo of Nana's sassiness, Eric's dour snark, and Tom's (pretty upbeat for a fest) "honesty" 😆, made this video super humourous and fun! 🎉❤
And I lovvvve Tom & Eric doing food reviews together, it is the most entertaining!! 😂
Did you see the bird taking a sh*t starting at 1:07:24. Lmao. Oh my God.
Tom, it's back with a vengeance! Run!
😂Her double take at 31:38. Protect that woman, she is dear. Glad you all are sticking to this way of reviewing.
So happy for you, Tom! You deserve it.
I enjoyed this review very much . Two guys that work so well together. Bonus Meeting Nana 😂 she’s funny ❤
Glad to hear that the feud is over, and that Disney is cool with you providing your coverage without any expectation that you will always praise their performance as a company.
Omg Nana scolding Tom for liking the sauce was pure gold! Hilarious!
Tom seems so happy. Love to see it!! 🤗

A happy Tom is a wonderful thing!
Very happy for you Tom and the whole WDWNT staff that you are part of Disney’s media list again. Such great news! 👏
LOL HER REACTION TO YOU ENJOYING THE SAUCE!
Disney, if you're reading this, and I'm sure you are, THANK YOU for adding WDW News Today back to the approved media list and inviting them! I always want to hear from them first. Well done, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Nana is adorable! She might be my new WDWNT favorite! The Nana/Tom is hilarious.
Nana’s expressions are everything….
Congrats on the truce with Disney. Your organization is great and your ethics should be recognized. Looking forward to future reviews.
That look you got when you said you liked the sauce... lol!
I love the festival funnel cakes even at their high price tag! They’re always made fresh to order and absolutely delicious! Thank you Tom and Eric for giving them the love they deserve! Most vloggers complain about the price tag and skip over them.
This one looks so yummy-and a steal for 1 snack credit!
Re-reviewing returning items is still useful. They can change year to year, even if the name and description are the same.
Great news Tom! Looking forward to everything you and the crew have to bring for 2024. Can’t wait for “Tonight” to return.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣20 minutes in and my cheeks are sore from laughing. Tom and Eric are together again with food and puns.
Thanks Tom! Your so appreciated, everyone has put there time in and so deserve all the support from Disney, simple. The gifts 🎁 were simply wonderful and as you shared, an amazing jester 🎉🎉🎉
When Tom said he liked the red sauce on the sesame seed balls, Nana looked like a serial killer triggered to start their spree.
You’ve done well Tom. Well deserved. Time to turn the page to the next chapter. A great big beautiful tomorrow.
Red bean paste is 👏 life 👏 (imo). Tom can experience a Daiso the next time he's at Disneyland, there are many in California!
Hugs 🤗 I also battle depression. Prayers for you to keep up the good fight everyday. 💜Thank you all for everything you all have been doing and all of the honesty of you all. ❤💜 hugs 🤗

Love the shirt Tom! So happy things are turning around for you and the WDWNT family!
Very nicely done, Tom and Eric!!! Looks grand!
“At least the bird didn’t make things up about me” 😂😂😂
Way to go WDW NT. Tom stay real and keep listening and learning. Make the best of all situations. Everyone should go forward in life that way. Now let’s have a great 2024.

Funnel Cake section: OMG get your dang kids down from there! Stop climbing the set pieces! 😱🤣
Love the knowledge and culture sharing here when it comes to Constitutional details of rights to dipping sauce. Knowing truly IS half the battle.
Tom I love seeing your renewed vigor!! As much as I enjoy your sardonic commentary it’s nice to see you in a more positive mindset.
Yay Nana my favourite 😊 I agree, what was that red sauce about? sesame balls are great as they are! ❤ Keep up thr good work Tom, Eric, Nana and all the team!!
Tom Corless: the Trent Crimm of the Disney Media World
I am so excited for this new era of WDWNT where you aren’t actively being persecuted! I can imagine how the old regime would’ve spun anyone into a mental health crisis- having a company you love actively know you, BY NAME, and you know for a fact they talk about you and that it isn’t positive would’ve wrecked me too. I am so glad they’re building bridges and bringing you back into the fold. They should appreciate genuine, but respectful, criticism like yours.
Love doesn’t mean blindly accepting everything to reap the rewards given by your loved one- it means constantly wanting the best for them, encouraging growth, cheering on even minor accomplishments, and acknowledging realistic shortcomings and working on how to improve or move forward. It’s clear you love Disney.
Tom your passion and the work you put in to your channel is like no other. Thank you for your dedication ❤ Hope to see you in the parks one day
Congratulations WDW NT, Tom so happy that Disney is a part of the Family again, Both will grow together with so much Excitement for the Future.
Happy for you and the entire staff of news today being back on the media list. I believe you will continue to be honest in your reviews to give us the best information. Thank you all for all you do!
The chocolate nail is a play on the Rusty Nail cocktail that is made with Scotch. That is why!
Glad you all are good with Disney! And I love that shirt Tom is wearing.
Tom I am do happy for you and your team! I am glad that Disney is welcoming you back into the family. All you and your team do is want the Best for the Guest/consumer and you ensure that Walt Disney's Dream stays true to the World

The Statler and Waldorf comparison got me 😂
Love this channel
Beet-Juice, Beet-Juice, Beet-Juice Hilarious!
There are Daiso stores in California. They are great!
Love the banter!! Media approval or not I’m still watching! Looked like a fun time.🎉
19:03 cheese joke had me rolling
I'm sorry to hear you were dealing with depression. Glad things are looking up dear Tom! ♡♡♡
You are awesome and love your channel and vibe ❤🎉 keep up the great work !!
10:30 I'll never get tired of that soundtrack❤ Hearing that just makes a person think of rainbow tunnels, a Dreamfinder, and a Figment popping out of the back of a flying machine.
Love when Nana joins you....key lime is the best....coming from New york February 12th can't wait
Great channel!

The sesame balls had me dead… I agree with nana… to be fair, I am Asian tho.. and I don’t understand the red sauce either 🤣
I love Nana! She needs to do more food reviews. I’m glad you are keeping it real. I didn’t expect anything less tbh. ❤
Eric's favorite time of year!! ;D So elated for y'all!! 2024 is WDWNT takeover year!!!
Congratulations WDW

The most important thing to me, is that you stay honest. Just give us your honest opinion. If a thing is good, tell us - If a thing is bad, tell us ^^

Fun! ❤Nana. Hope she joins you again 👍
Spit take at “Don’t say it two more times!”
I love Festival of the Arts!! Favorite festival. I love all the art booths-it makes me sad that I’m missing it this year.
Also… EMAW Eric, EMAW.
Wooo KANSAS!
Well deserved and well done Disney for realizing how AMAZING WDWNT IS!
Glad to hear things are going well for WDW and you!
Can someone be a a WIG if they are not going back without Magical Express and Fast pass?
THIS ONE TASTES LIKE CHLORASEPTIC!
Having a relationship with the company you have a built a business around, nothing wrong with that. Being honest with your audience is all we can ask.
Agree with no need to add red sauce to the Sesame red bean balls
I noticed when you were reviewing the funnel cake, the two kids in the background climbing a post. Another example of parents letting their kids run wild in the park.
All you need is churros, popcorn, corn dogs, and ice cream bars.
We love Nana! Does she have her own show?!?
Oishi so!
I'm waiting to see the child fall from the post in the background while you guys are eating the funnel cake. So the parents will be upset when the child falls because it's not their fault they were inattentive and their child climbed and fell. Why we can't have nice things

Wash it down with beet juice!! 😃
What's with the Christmas music in the background?
Tell me you're not from Texas without telling me you're not from Texas. Lol 22:45
The condiment is served to be dipped. Its always how i see them at epcot. Eat it with the entree , or you better be licking the plate clean. You dont toss out the chef's art.🧐
The portion of that carne asada greatly decreases on day three (at least for me) was maybe 1 oz. Three 1/8 inch slices. Not worth $10.50.

Hi Tom, I know it's not new so it wasn't on camera. But did you try the grape smoothie at the odyssey? If so, how was it?
I liked it, that was new in a recent year so you can watch that video for exact thoughts or just read them from our post at WDWNT.com
Can anyone please inform me on what happened with WDW News & Disney in 2017? I know they're trying to move forward, but I'm interested to know why there was tension in the first place!
