Orlando, Florida, is the ultimate family destination, but did you know it's also an amazing adults-only vacation? Join us on an epic audio journey as we explore some of the best things to do for adults in Orlando, including top-rated dining, wine tasting, sunset kayaking, and adrenaline-pumping roller coasters.  Pack your bags and join me and producer Luke as we head to the theme park capital of the world to show you why this sun-soaked city isn't just for families; it's also the perfect grown-up getaway if you want thrill rides paired with buzzing bars, restaurants and shopping.  In this episode of Travel Goals, we're swapping character breakfasts for wine tastings, thrill rides for even bigger thrill rides and discovering a more sophisticated side to Orlando. One with sunset kayaking, indie wine bars, swish hotels and luxury dining Of course, we're still hitting the big-name parks because riding TRON Lightcycle / Run or drinking Butterbeer in Diagon Alley is just as magical when you're grown up. You can race through the raptor paddocks on the Jurassic World VelociCoaster, face the First Order on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and then hop on classic rides that bring back all the childhood nostalgia. But we're also stepping outside the parks to explore Orlando's cooler, calmer corners. Expect leafy neighbourhoods with boutique shops and culture, glass-bottom kayaking through glittering lakes, and wine tasting in bougie bars.  If you're planning a getaway, a couples' escape, a group trip, or a trip with the girls, this episode will help you plan your dream grown-up adventure in Orlando, with where to stay, play and eat. If you're looking for a fabulous hotel, Lake Nona Wave Hotel is highly recommended. Please note that since the recording at Lake Nona Wave Hotel, Haven Kitchen has now become Garni Café, and Haven Lounge has now become The Nectar Room. Make sure to check them both out.  Thanks to Visit Orlando for supporting this episode of Travel Goals.

We're going completely off script—no notes, no prep, just pure pizza passion! Join us as we improv our way through our top five places to grab a slice (or a whole pie) at Walt Disney World, based on a mix of taste, value, portion size, and accessibility. We're not talking about a fancy food review with technical terms or culinary critiques—we're talking about where we actually want to eat pizza while roaming the parks and resorts.We also break down why the best pizza doesn't always come from the best pizza place, and how certain locations may surprise you with better value or more convenience than you'd expect. Whether it's a quick slice in the middle of a busy day, or a sit-down experience that satisfies every craving, we'll debate what makes each spot worth visiting—and where you might want to pass.So if you're craving that cheesy, saucy goodness on your next Disney trip, this episode serves up our hot takes in real time, crust and all.

In this lively and relatable episode of My Simplified Life, Michelle Glogovac and Stephanie Hockersmith share candid reflections on recent family vacations, the chaos of end-of-school-year activities, and the art of juggling parenting with personal time. From cruise ship competitions and school projects to navigating theme park rides with kids, Michelle and Stephanie dive into the real-life moments that define modern motherhood. They chat about family dynamics at Disney and Epcot, the magic of creating lasting memories, and how ride preferences can spark deeper insights into our kids' personalities. The conversation also touches on the importance of conservation, finding everyday peace amidst chaos, and why summer is the perfect time to reconnect—with your family and yourself. To wrap up, they share their most-anticipated summer book picks and how the right read can shift your mindset, inspire growth, and spark joy. Whether you're planning your own family trip or just trying to survive the summer shuffle, this episode offers laughs, heart, and a reminder that stories—both lived and read—matter deeply. What We're Talking About... Vacation can feel like another dimension. It's important to romanticize everyday life. Real life often interrupts our vacation mindset. Family trips can create lasting memories. Unexpected talents can emerge in fun situations. School projects often fall on parents' shoulders. End of school year can be hectic for families. Summer should be a time for relaxation and fun. Traveling with family requires careful planning. Finding joy in small moments is essential. Stephanie shares her fear of Ferris wheels and how she copes with it. The Matterhorn ride at Disneyland is nostalgic but physically challenging. Children have unique preferences and fears regarding rides. Conversations about respecting children's choices in activities are important. Cooper's passion for conservation shines through in his interests. Finding moments of peace in daily life is crucial for mental health. Books can provide inspiration and refresh our minds. Anticipating summer reads can be an exciting experience. Women have historically shown incredible strength and resilience. Literature can be a source of joy and connection.  Chapters 00:00 Vacation Reflections and Family Adventures 03:03 The Joys and Challenges of Family Life 05:58 Cruise Competition and Unexpected Talents 08:48 Back to Reality: School Projects and Responsibilities 12:04 Navigating the End of School Year 15:00 Summer Plans and Travel Discussions 18:42 Thrills and Chills at Theme Parks 22:34 Family Dynamics and Ride Preferences 24:59 Passion for Conservation and Nature 29:30 Finding Peace Amidst Chaos 30:47 Books That Inspire and Refresh 36:28 Anticipating Summer Reads

Casandra Matej, President & CEO of Visit Orlando, joins us in today's new episode!

The countdown is on—just four days until our family's epic Walt Disney World adventure begins! After months of anticipation, we're pulling back the curtain on our meticulously crafted vacation strategy that balances maximum fun with minimal stress.Our journey starts with a strategic overnight in Atlanta before heading to Blizzard Beach on arrival day. We're excited to experience both Disney water parks across different trips, having conquered Typhoon Lagoon last year. This time, we're staying at Coronado Springs' Grand Destino Tower, where we'll celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary at Three Bridges Bar & Grill overlooking the resort's beautiful lake.One major change this trip? We're abandoning our traditional rope-drop routine! After years of early morning park rushes, we're embracing a more relaxed approach with Disney's new multi-pass system. At over $700 for our family, it's a significant investment we'll be evaluating throughout our stay. Is the convenience worth the premium price? We'll be reporting back!Each park day has been thoughtfully planned: Epcot with extended World Showcase exploration (where our boys have finally developed an appreciation for international experiences), Hollywood Studios with substantial time in Galaxy's Edge and catching the new Little Mermaid show, Animal Kingdom's safari adventures, and a perfectly-paced Magic Kingdom finale. We've incorporated strategic rest days, including pool time and a split day where half of us will venture to Universal while the others enjoy a character breakfast and resort exploration.The Disney Dining Plan adds another dimension to our experience. Is it truly the value proposition Disney promises?

Mike and EB kickoff of the summer theme park season by hearing a warning about the implications of the Six Flags and Cedar Fair merger...from a former CEO. The guys talk about new attractions like Siren's Curse and the unique zombie event at Hello Kitty Park in Japan. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the grand opening of Epic Universe and the challenges faced during its preview phase. The conversation shifts to listener interactions through the mailbag and trip reports from various parks, highlighting the excitement for the start of the 2025 season.

Rick is joined by regular co-host Maz to talk about two of the most highly-anticipated lands at Epic Universe.  Universal's newest theme park opens to the public for real tomorrow.  Let's continue to get hyped for it.

This week on the show, we unpack all the details revealed for the Disneyland 70th Anniversary Celebration! With special events, shows, merch, food and more, we got all the festivities covered! And if that's not enough fun, Bondo covers the new Spiderman Coaster news coming out of Shanghai and Pin traders are getting moved from….Pin Traders!We got all the fun news and reviews coming your way on this week's episode of the We Like Theme Parks Podcast on the Chip and Co. Podcast Network!Go to www.welikethemeparks.com for more episodes, more fun and all our amazing sponsors!

Savannah joins Jenna as co-host for the day from Orlando, FL, ahead of the opening of Universal Epic Universe! The two are joined by Matt Rogers to discuss the “rules of culture” in a theme park. Also, they head to the world of the Isle of Berk from ‘How to Train Your Dragon' to take a ride on Hiccup's wing. Plus, Howie Mandel stops by to catch up and talk about the new season of ‘America's Got Talent.' And, the Vice President of Food and Beverage at Universal Epic Universe shares details about all the delicious desserts to try at the park.

The landscape of Walt Disney World is shifting dramatically, with major transformations coming to every park. From Dinoland USA becoming a vibrant Central Americas-themed land featuring Encanto and Indiana Jones, to Tom Sawyer Island making way for a Cars attraction, these changes represent Disney's evolving approach to park experiences.We dive deep into what these transformations mean for the Disney experience, exploring the tension between nostalgic attractions and Disney's push toward more recognizable intellectual properties. The upcoming Villains Land behind Big Thunder Mountain promises thrilling new experiences without replacing existing attractions, while Hollywood Studios will soon feature a Monsters Inc land with an innovative suspended coaster based on the door conveyor system from the beloved film.These changes raise important questions: Is Disney losing some of its original magic by replacing unique Imagineering creations with movie tie-ins? Or is this evolution necessary to compete with Universal's Epic Universe and appeal to younger generations? We consider whether the Disney experience has improved or declined since 2019, discussing the loss of beloved perks like Magical Express and free FastPass while acknowledging the exciting new attractions on the horizon.We also share our upcoming plans to test the new Multi-Pass system during our next trip, estimating we'll spend around $500 extra for our family of four to access all premium ride options. Will the convenience justify the cost? Is the Free Dining package actually saving money when factoring in required add-ons like Park Hopper tickets? These practical considerations reflect the changing economics of a Disney vacation in today's landscape.Whether you're a Disney purist concerned about these changes or excited to experience the new attractions, this episode provides thoughtful perspective on what Walt Disney World's transformation means for different types of visitors.

Travel Brats Nat and Matt talk about Universal's newest and most innovative theme park, Epic Universe! The Park is set to have it's Grand Opening in just two days. When it comes to redefining the limits of theme park imagination, Universal Destinations & Experiences has never been one to hold back. But with Epic Universe, Universal is setting a new bar—not just for itself, but for the entire industry. Check out this episode to hear all about the rides, the theming, the food, and more!!What Is Epic Universe?Epic Universe is the latest addition to the Universal Orlando Resort portfolio and promises to be its most ambitious project yet. Located just a few miles south of the existing parks, this massive expansion isn't just a new land or a few new rides—it's an entire theme park resort unto itself, complete with a hotel, restaurants, shops, and a range of immersive lands inspired by beloved franchises.Universal describes it as their “most immersive and innovative theme park ever,” and for those who've had the chance to go, it certainly delivers!Lands and Attractions✨ Super Nintendo WorldAlready a smash hit in Japan and Hollywood, Super Nintendo World allows guests to jump into the worlds of Mario, Luigi, and Donkey Kong. With vibrant environments, gamified attractions, and the much-anticipated Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge ride. A Donkey Kong-themed roller coaster, complete with a “mine cart” effect that simulates jumping broken tracks.

Recently, I joined Tyler Barnett on the Fearworm Wormhole show to discuss how major theme park innovations could transform haunted attractions, and this is the full recording. We unpack Universal's new Fan Fest Nights, Horror Unleashed, Dark Universe, and the rise of off-season activations like music festivals and “summer slasher” events. You'll hear how IP partnerships, luxury-tier VIP add-ons, and even tariff pressures on materials can reshape your pricing and value proposition this fall—plus tactics for leveraging local brands when Hollywood licenses feel out of reach. Fearworm streams Wormhole episodes live every other Friday on Facebook. I wrote an article based on this as well, available here.

Is it summer already, or is that just our theme park budget melting in the sun? Either way, we're kicking off the season with our annual guide to roller coasters, churros, and how not to hurl after one too many loops. Theme Park Insider's Robert Niles returns to share the biggest news in amusement park land—from a new Disney park in Abu Dhabi (what?!) to Universal Orlando's game-changing Epic Universe. But what's a summer kickoff without a good ol' whiplash reminder that your brain can't be trusted when it comes to investing? Joe Saul-Sehy and OG dive into Jason Zweig's latest insights about how our market “memory banks” mess with decision-making, and why 2008 probably wasn't as scarring as your gut tells you. And yes, Doug's trivia ties it all together—with corn dogs, naturally. How to actually save money at theme parks without having to sleep in a costume closet. The surprising reason a $1,400 day at Disney might be your own fault. Which new coasters (and old favorites) are worth the detour this year. Why your gut—and your "market memory"—could be sabotaging your investments. The last time the stock market went down multiple years in a row (hint: not 2008). What Robert's favorite underrated U.S. parks are (spoiler: Dollywood shows up, again). How to strategically splurge or save at the parks—merch fans, avert your eyes.

828 · Disney's Abu Dhabi Theme Park: A Whole New World Unveiled Disney just announced a bold new theme park and resort in Abu Dhabi – and it could change everything. In this episode, we explore the Disney Abu Dhabi theme park announcement from every angle – cultural, creative, and corporate. We also have a thoughtful conversation about some of the questions and concerns this move has raised. Discover why Disney chose Abu Dhabi, what the “authentically Disney, distinctly Emirati” vision means, and how this expansion could shape the future of Imagineering, Disney's global parks, and Bob Iger's legacy.
