Shereen Ritchie built her career from clearing tables at TGI Fridays at 15 to becoming Group CEO of Kuvi Hospitality, and in this episode of Brave, Bold, Brilliant, she reveals how she did it. Shereen Ritchie is the Group Chief Executive Officer of Kuvi Hospitality, a London-based hospitality investment platform bringing the best of American restaurant culture to the UK, GCC and wider EMEA markets. Before Kuvi, Shereen was Managing Director of LEON Restaurants, where she led the brand through both its most successful and most demanding period, culminating in LEON's £100 million sale to EG Group (Euro Garages) during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. She then became CEO of Buns From Home, the Instagram-born bakery brand, taking it from six locations to more than 21 sites across London in just 18 months. Now at Kuvi Hospitality, Shereen is leading the company's first major franchise partnership: bringing Miami cult-favourite taqueria Coyo Taco to the UK, with ambitions for more than 50 locations across the UK and Ireland, plus a shortlist of 10-15 more US restaurant concepts she believes could thrive here next. She's also Co-Founder of Boardwalk, an industry mentorship programme (launched with Ann Elliott and Christine Martin) dedicated to helping women in hospitality reach their first board-level position. In this episode, we cover: How Shereen scaled LEON through the most turbulent period in UK hospitality history  Taking Buns From Home from 6 to 21+ sites in 18 months  Why Coyo Taco was the brand Kuvi chose to bring across the Atlantic  The playbook for translating US restaurant concepts for a UK audience  Why hospitality's "human element" can't be replaced by AI or social media  Boardwalk and the fight for more women in hospitality boardrooms  What success looks like for Kuvi Hospitality over the next 3-4 years ABOUT SHEREEN RITCHIE Shereen Ritchie has over 25 years of experience across hospitality, investment and executive leadership. She is Group CEO of Kuvi Hospitality, the master franchise partner of choice for US restaurant brands expanding into the UK, Europe and the GCC.

She is also Co-Founder of Boardwalk, championing women into board-level roles across hospitality and beyond. Connect with Shereen Ritchie:

Send us Fan MailEpisode 263 – Solo at Walt Disney World: Staying Safe & Traveling SmartThis week on The Mickeyphile Podcast, Scott and Karen are catching up on the latest news and refurbishment updates from around Walt Disney World before being joined by their friend Samantha Carpin for an important conversation about solo travel — particularly for women visiting Walt Disney World on their own.Samantha frequently travels to Disney solo, and on a recent trip she experienced a situation that made her genuinely concerned for her safety. She joins us to share what happened, how Disney Cast Members responded, and what she learned from the experience.We talk about staying aware of your surroundings even inside the “Disney bubble,” recognizing when something just doesn't feel right, finding a Cast Member or other safe person when you're uncomfortable, personal safety alarms, and some of the precautions Samantha takes while traveling alone.We also talk about getting from Orlando International Airport to Walt Disney World using rideshare services, sharing trip information with someone you trust, monitoring your route, and some of the safety tools available through rideshare apps.Walt Disney World News• Tiana's Bayou Adventure will close for refurbishment beginning November 2, with Disney currently indicating a reopening sometime in December.• The Walt Disney World Railroad will be closed for refurbishment from September 28 through October 29.• Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill at Disney Springs is closing September 13, with questions remaining about what comes next for the location.• Grand Floridian Café officially returns for dinner beginning November 2.• Disney's Lake Buena Vista Golf Course reopens October 23 following work on the course and greens.DVC News• The former Jellyrolls location at Disney's BoardWalk is becoming The Hurly-Burly, with an October 1, 2026 opening planned and family-friendly activities during the afternoon.• Disney's Lakeshore Lodge is scheduled to open July 1, 2027.• Cash reservations begin October 6, 2026 for Disney Vacation Club Members, October 7 for Walt Disney World Annual Passholders, and October 8 for the general public.• Disney Vacation Club Members will also have an opportunity to experience a special First Wave Preview before the resort officially opens.Our Main Topic: Solo Travel & SafetySamantha shares the story of realizing someone may have been following her from Disney's Hollywood Studios back to her resort and what she did once she became concerned.We discuss trusting your instincts, going directly to a Cast Member when something seems wrong, keeping your head out of your phone and staying aware of who is around you, personal alarms and other practical safety precautions, traveling alone without allowing fear to ruin the experience, and why being inside Walt Disney World doesn't mean you should completely let your guard down.Samantha also shares her approach to Uber rides between the airport and Walt Disney World, including letting someone know when she gets into and out of the vehicle, using available safety and recording features, monitoring the route in the app, and taking advantage of options such as requesting a female driver when available.It's not about being afraid to travel alone — it's about being prepared, being aware, and knowing what to do if something doesn't feel right.Connect with The Mickeyphile PodcastInstagram & TikTok: @mickeyphile_podcastFind us on Facebook at The Mickeyphile Podcast and join our Facebook community.Have a topic idea, want to join us on an episode, or just want to say hello?mickeyphilepodcast@gmail.comIf you enjoy the show, please leave us a 5-star rating or review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

  There's a lot out there about how to make the most of a full day at a Disney park. Ibn fact, we've probably discussed it on an episode or two in the past. But what if you only had 60 minutes? How would you approach A Perfect Hour of Disney? We're not talking just time to ride as many attractions as possible or race from one end of the park to the other. We mean the a Disney park hour filled with whatever you want. Whether it's experiences, atmosphere, food, entertainment, or whatever it is that captures exactly why you LOVE being there. We share how we would fill that limited but absolutely magical time for us. Find out is some of our selections match yours! Disney Stories of the Week Once we finish our time sharing what would make up A Perfect Hour of Disney for us, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week. In this episode, we share a couple of new menus that are coming to Walt Disney World. One to a guest-favorite spot in Frontierland at Magic Kingdom. The other at a reimagined location on Disney's BoardWalk. We also discuss another few reasons why it's still The Muppets world and we're all just living in it. Certainly, that's not all. As always, we wrap it all up with tips that might help you on your next Disney vacation.   If you have any comments, questions, or requests to cover a particular topic, please feel free to Contact Us!   We also invite you to join the positive fun in our Hyperion Adventurers Facebook Group as well as our Hyperion Mornings on YouTube for a daily dose of live positive chat!   Thanks for listening! Cheers!

It's just about Back to School time.  As always, we look at something in the realm of a college or school-themed show.  We look at a somewhat early ESPN endeavor which was simply a sports take on College Bowl, recorded at a long-defunct theme park.  It's not memorable as a show, but it might be more memorable to ESPN fans for who appeared on it as a 19-year-old freshman in season one.

Disney Springs and Disney's BoardWalk are both getting a major refresh in 2026, and this week the Mouse Chat team walks through every new restaurant, lounge, shop, and attraction worth knowing about — plus when each one opens. At Disney Springs, we dig into Six Ravens, the mysterious savory spin-off from Gideon's Bakehouse (signage is up and it's coming this summer), Morimoto's new Kakigori Kool shaved-ice cart, and LEVEL99 — a 45,000-square-foot, two-story game palace with 60+ challenge rooms opening June 29, 2026 (tickets from $29.99). New retail from Vuori and Columbia Sportswear is on the way too. Over at the BoardWalk, Disney finally confirmed the long-rumored additions: Hurly-Burly, a waterfront lounge with daytime trivia and 21+ live music (filling the gap Jellyrolls left behind), a new Basin bath-and-body shop, and a still-unnamed quick-service restaurant — all starting late 2026. We also cover Good to Go Days for summer, the return of Disney Springs resort-bus verification, and first looks at the upcoming Disney Lakeshore Lodge. Chapters, tips, and the full rundown are in the episode. New shows drop every Monday at 8 AM Eastern — subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify so you never miss one.

Disney Springs and Disney's BoardWalk are both getting a major refresh in 2026 — and this week the Mouse Chat team breaks down every new restaurant, lounge, shop, and entertainment venue worth knowing about. From Gideon's Bakehouse's mysterious savory spin-off to a 45,000-square-foot game palace, plus the long-rumored BoardWalk additions Disney finally confirmed, here's what's coming and when. Ready to turn any of this into a trip? [Get a free, no-fee Disney World quote from Pixie Vacations »](https://pixievacations.com/get-a-quote/?utm_source=mousechat&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=july2026) ### Disney Springs — New Food & Dining **Six Ravens (Gideon's Bakehouse savory concept) — signage up, opening this summer.** The strongest "almost open" signal yet: signage is now installed at the former Art of Shaving space in The Landing, just a few doors from the original Gideon's. The signature item is the "Coffyn" — a hand pie with sandwich-style fillings wrapped in a house-made yeast roll (a nod to a medieval European pastry) — paired with smashed potatoes and dips like sweet heat and homemade honey mustard. Drinks include local beers crafted with Orlando's Sideward Brewing and The Ravenous Pig, plus root beer on tap. The name nods to the Tower of London and its legendary guardian ravens. Note for listeners: it's grab-and-go, no reservation, and **not** on the Disney Dining Plan. **Kakigori Kool (Morimoto Asia shaved-ice cart) — summer 2026.** Morimoto Asia is adding a snack cart serving Japan's kakigori shaved-ice dessert with fruity syrups and toppings, right outside the restaurant. *Building your Disney Springs dining hit list? Our agents know the new spots and the can't-miss classics — [start a free quote](https://pixievacations.com/get-a-quote/?utm_source=mousechat&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=july2026) and we'll fold it into your trip.* ### Disney Springs — Entertainment (old DisneyQuest / NBA Experience building) **LEVEL99 — opens June 29, 2026; tickets on sale June 22.** The largest LEVEL99 to date: 60+ challenge rooms and duels across a 45,000-sq-ft, two-story space, plus a chef-crafted menu with their award-winning Detroit-style pizza and a big central bar. Tickets start at $29.99 (1.5- and 2.5-hour intervals). It's the chain's fourth location after Natick, MA; Providence, RI; and Tysons, VA. Fun hooks: the first 500 guests opening day get a commemorative pin, and the date was revealed via an Instagram puzzle fans had to decode. **Vuori + Columbia Sportswear (retail).** Athletic apparel brand Vuori opens at Disney Springs this summer alongside LEVEL99 and Six Ravens, and Columbia Sportswear reopens July 24. ### Disney's BoardWalk — New Lounge, Store & Dining (the big one) Disney officially confirmed the long-rumored BoardWalk additions — all opening starting in late 2026 — finally filling in those empty buildings everyone's been speculating about. (Trying to decide where to stay near Epcot and Hollywood Studios? Listen to [Which Disney World Resort is Perfect for You?](https://mousechat.net/which-disney-world-resort-is-perfect-for-you-mouse-chat-podcast/)) **Hurly-Burly (waterfront lounge) — late 2026.** The headliner: a new waterfront lounge inspired by a historic seaside theater. By day it hosts trivia and family-friendly games; each evening it becomes a live-music venue for guests 21+. It fills the live-entertainment gap left by Jellyrolls, which closed in April 2025 after nearly 30 years. Expect coastal-inspired cocktails, light bites, and a rotating lineup of live performers. **Basin (bath & body retail) — late 2026.** The Disney Springs favorite is opening a BoardWalk location for soaps, bath bombs, bath salts, and body butters — with an interactive twist: create custom bath teas, make your own soaps, and personalize purchases with a soap embossing press, all themed to BoardWalk's vintage seaside look. **New quick-service restaurant — TBA.** Disney confirmed a new quick-service spot is planned but hasn't shared theme, menu, or opening date — more expected later this summer. We'll keep you posted. *Want a BoardWalk-area stay (BoardWalk Inn, Beach Club, or the Swan & Dolphin) so you can walk to Epcot? [Get a free quote](https://pixievacations.com/get-a-quote/?utm_source=mousechat&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=july2026) and we'll match you to the right resort.* ### Other Newsworthy WDW Items **Disney Springs resort bus verification returns June 28 — and becomes permanent.** A practical heads-up: this makes resort-hopping through Disney Springs noticeably harder. For more on getting around property, hear [Best Options to Get to Disney World](https://mousechat.net/best-options-to-get-to-disney-world-mouse-chat-podcast/). **Good to Go Days added for summer.** WDW Good to Go Days return for summer 2026 with three June dates — June 25, 28, and 29 — letting Annual Passholders visit without a park reservation, subject to blockouts. Check our monthly-updated [Disney World crowd calendar](https://pixievacations.com/disney-world-crowd-calendar/) before you pick dates. **Disney Lakeshore Lodge — first looks.** New first looks at the lazy river and pool area for Disney's Lakeshore Lodge — the new resort coming to the Bay Lake area between Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge, currently slated for 2027. **Bonus tip:** Adding a Disney cruise to your park trip? You can browse and book Disney Cruise Line — and every major line — through our [online cruise booking engine](https://cruise.pixievacations.com/app/0/cruise/0/selection.html?search[vendor_ids][0]=20), no fees. For the new ships, hear [Disney Treasure vs Disney Destiny](https://mousechat.net/disney-treasure-vs-disney-destiny-which-2026-disney-cruise-should-you-book/). --- ## Frequently Asked Questions **When does Six Ravens open at Disney Springs?** Six Ravens, the savory concept from Gideon's Bakehouse, is targeting a summer 2026 opening at The Landing in Disney Springs (the former Art of Shaving space, near the original Gideon's). Signage is installed as of June 2026. It's grab-and-go, no reservations, and not on the Disney Dining Plan. Planning a Disney Springs day? Pixie Vacations can build it into your free trip plan. **When does LEVEL99 at Disney Springs open?** LEVEL99 opens June 29, 2026 in the former DisneyQuest / NBA Experience building, with tickets starting at $29.99. It's an interactive challenge-and-duel venue with 60+ rooms across 45,000 square feet, plus a full restaurant and bar. **What is Hurly-Burly at Disney's BoardWalk?** Hurly-Burly is a new waterfront lounge confirmed for Disney's BoardWalk, opening late 2026. It hosts trivia and family games by day and live music for guests 21+ in the evening, filling the entertainment gap left by Jellyrolls. It joins a new Basin bath-and-body store and a yet-to-be-named quick-service restaurant. **Do you need a park reservation for Good to Go Days?** No. On Walt Disney World Good to Go Days, eligible Annual Passholders can enter a park without a park reservation (subject to blockouts). Summer 2026 added June 25, 28, and 29. A travel advisor can help you plan dates around blockouts and crowds. **Is booking Disney World through Pixie Vacations really free?** Yes. Pixie Vacations is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, and Disney pays the agency's commission — so expert planning, dining and Lightning Lane strategy, and price monitoring cost you nothing extra.

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Video Jukebox Song of The Day! Every weekday will be featuring a live watch of a great and memorable music video. This week, since we are now officially in the summer season, all the songs will be about this time of year. On today's episode, Steve Riddle is watching, “Under The Boardwalk” by The Drifters from 1964.   The YouTube link for the video is below so you can watch along! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSddD6w5SKc

Len Testa and Jim Hill start with snow shovels, snapping turtles, and New Hampshire's ongoing audition for “America's Australia,” then move into a packed Disney Dish. This week, they cover Disney's holiday party calendar, the Grand Floridian gingerbread house retirement, tightening resort-access rules, the BoardWalk's new Hurley Burley lounge, Disneyland's Celebrate Soulfully Yardfest, and Universal Kids Resort's very sunny Texas debut. They also dig into new DVC survey perks, listener questions about Europa Park, Australia in World Showcase, and whether Epcot is due for a monorail-adjacent hotel. Then Jim continues Disney's living-character history with Dinotopia's odd but memorable second life at Walt Disney Studios Park. NEWS • Disney's Hollywood Studios may be targeting August for Magic of Disney Animation, though the building may have opinions of its own. • Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights return with schedules that neatly zip together across the holiday season. • The Grand Floridian gingerbread house is being retired, raising questions about resort crowds, access rules, and guest satisfaction. • Disney's resort-access language continues to tighten around holiday decorations, dining reservations, and who gets to visit which lobby. • The BoardWalk's former Jellyrolls space is set to become Hurley Burley, with family entertainment by day and a 21-and-up lounge by night. • Disneyland's Celebrate Soulfully Yardfest brings HBCU bands, drumlines, and Mickey Mouse as drumline major to Downtown Disney. • Universal Kids Resort opens in Texas with early chatter about short rides, light landscaping, and a shade situation that may require SPF and optimism. FEATURE • Jim explains how sets from ABC's 2002 Dinotopia miniseries wound up on the Studio Tram Tour at Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris. • Waterfall City helped fill out a park that opened with a small budget and a very large need for things guests could see from a tram. • The segment revisits Dinotopia, Reign of Fire, Catastrophe Canyon, and the strange art of letting narration do the work of missing dragons. • Jim sets up next week's look at Pixar Place, the Living Character Initiative, and the Luxo lamp story that still gives Imagineers the thousand-yard stare.

We continue our Resort Wars series with a showdown between two EPCOT-area favorites: Disney's BoardWalk Inn and the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve. Both resorts offer incredible access to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios, but they deliver completely different vacation experiences. BoardWalk Inn immerses guests in the charm and nostalgia of a turn-of-the-century Atlantic City boardwalk, complete with lively entertainment, unique dining, and one of the most iconic atmospheres at Walt Disney World. Meanwhile, Swan Reserve offers a more modern and luxurious approach, featuring some of the newest rooms on property, spacious family suites, and access to the extensive amenities, pools, and dining options of the Swan and Dolphin resorts. Throughout the episode, we compare the two resorts across seven categories, including theming and atmosphere, rooms and comfort, dining and drinks, transportation and location, recreation and amenities, value for money, and listener feedback. We discuss everything from the magic of strolling the BoardWalk at night and grabbing a drink at AbracadaBar to the benefits of staying in a sleek, contemporary room just steps from EPCOT. Will Disney's immersive storytelling and unmatched atmosphere help BoardWalk Inn secure the victory? Or will Swan Reserve's modern accommodations, impressive amenities, and strong value proposition prove too much to overcome? Whether you're planning your next Walt Disney World vacation or trying to decide where to stay for an upcoming trip, this episode will help you determine which of these popular Crescent Lake resorts is the better fit for your travel style.

This week on Geekin' on Walt Disney World, I'm joined by two good friends from the Disney podcasting world — Scott and Karen from the Mickeyphile Podcast — for one of those conversations that feels like hanging out in the parks with your Disney pals. We start with a fun day we shared together at Epcot, including time relaxing in the DVC lounge above Figment, catching some live music, and getting a special early look at Soarin' Over America. And yes… there were gasps. Big ones. Scott and Karen bring a ton of Disney experience to the table.

In This Episode We talk about: Our spoiler-light reactions to Soarin' Over America Why the DVC lounges are such a great hidden perk Favorite current Disney experiences, including BoardWalk, Chefs de France, Citricos, and fireworks cruises Underrated gems like Tiffins, PeopleMover, Little Mermaid, and the Fort Wilderness Segway tour What cast members do behind the scenes to create unexpected magical moments Why Disney Cruise Line feels like “Disney at its best” Palo brunch, cruise fireworks, ship horns, and emotional embarkation moments Planning advice from Karen, including why flexibility matters and why choosing a resort only by price can backfire One of my favorite parts of the episode is hearing Scott talk about cast member pixie dust — those little surprise moments that can turn a guest's day completely around. We also get into what cast members appreciate from guests, and it's a really sweet reminder that kindness goes both ways in Disney World. Then the conversation shifts into Disney Cruise Line, and you can hear how much Scott and Karen love that experience. From Palo brunch to fireworks at sea to the moment your family name is announced when you board the ship, they explain why cruising with Disney hits people emotionally in a way that's hard to describe until you've done it. But the heart of the episode comes near the end. Karen shares that Disney is the place that helps her forget about everything else for a while — the place that brings her true happiness. And I think a lot of us Disney Geeks understand that feeling. It's not always about riding every ride or having the perfect plan. Sometimes it's sitting on a balcony at BoardWalk while it rains. Sometimes it's hearing the Disney Cruise Line horn. Sometimes it's walking under the Disney World sign and feeling your shoulders drop. And sometimes it's just spending time with friends who get it.

This is the Live Call-in Show from this past Sunday night, June 7, 2026! Mike and Scott were back together tonight to take your calls LIVE for the hour! We discussed the situation last week with the delayed registration for the runDisney Princess Half-Marathon and possible solutions to this problem in the future.  We also had a more broad discussion on the state of runDisney and if runDisney has "peaked" in how much the Disney Parks brand values this arm.  Wade called in from Nebraska with some great thoughts on this topic as a veterans of many races.  We also got a great call from Shamus from Florida with a very creative and unique solution to "save" the current assets in the Carousel of Progress by maybe finding them a new home at the Boardwalk! This and much more on today's show! Come join us in the BOGP Clubhouse this week at www.beourguestpodcast.com/discord. Please visit our website at www.beourguestpodcast.com.
