Podcasts about theme parks

We recorded a full “live dining” review right from our table — and let's just say The Edison gave us plenty to talk about (and sweat over).This wasn't your average restaurant recap. We hit record at the table and let the conversation flow — capturing our unfiltered reactions, food-fueled tangents, and, yes, even the spice-induced meltdowns in real time. From the second our zero-proof drinks arrived, we were in review mode, starting with the Heart & Soul and LZP mocktails — both creative, refreshing, and worthy of sipping slowly.Then came the standout: the Maryland Blue Crab Dip. Hot, creamy, packed with flavor, and shockingly legit for being in Florida, this dish brought us straight back to Chesapeake Bay roots. The naan was warm and soft, the crab flavor spot-on, and the addition of a side of tortilla chips was the cherry on top (or the crunch on the bottom?).Finally, we tackled the Flavors of Florida Hot Honey High Voltage Chicken Sandwich — and it lived up to the voltage warning. Spicy, sweet, peppery, and surprisingly cohesive, it might not be for the faint of heart (or weak of tastebud), but it's a bold, fiery experience we won't forget.Would we do another live dining episode? Absolutely. Would we get that crab dip again? Without hesitation.

We're recapping a whirlwind Disney weekend filled with big thrills, bold flavors, and brand-new experiences across Walt Disney World. We kick things off at Magic Kingdom, where we got our first look at the brand-new Starlight Magic Parade. We'll share our honest thoughts on the floats, characters, music, and whether it lives up to the hype—or if it's just Main Street Electrical 2.0 with a new glow.Next, we head to EPCOT to dive into Test Track 3.0, the reimagining of the classic ride that now blends high-speed thrills with a touch of World of Motion nostalgia. Is it an upgrade, a downgrade, or just… different? We'll break it all down.Then it's time to eat—really well. We'll take you through our fine dining experience at Bourbon Steak, one of the top new steakhouses in Central Florida, tucked inside the Swan & Dolphin (Dolphin side) right on Disney property. And from white tablecloths to Yeti footprints, we shift gears with a quick review of our lunch at Yak & Yeti in Animal Kingdom.Of course, no trip is complete without snacks! We'll share what we grabbed from Sleepy Hollow and have some updates on the brand-new Wailulu Bar and Grill at the Polynesian Resort Tower—including zero-proof sips, sweet treats, and some surprisingly great finds. Come along for the ride!

What makes an IP popular today? It's not just the box office or streaming stats—it's the fans who show up, dress up, and wait five hours for a free experience. At San Diego Comic-Con, Percy Jackson, Alien, and K-pop Demon Hunters proved that passion, not just numbers, powers IP. Philip and Scott break down why pop-ups are becoming the new focus groups, how activations create the data stories that boards and licensors want, and what theme park professionals can learn from the way studios test, validate, and launch IP in the wild. If you're pitching an IP partnership or designing a seasonal overlay, this episode is your blueprint. Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

Send us a textWhat happens when creative theme park fans decide to imagine the absolute worst possible Disney lands? We're about to find out while sipping on one of Epcot's most unusual cocktails.We kick things off by sampling the La Cava Avocado from La Hacienda de San Angel in the Mexico Pavilion – a unique $19 concoction featuring tequila, Midori, fresh avocado, lime juice, and agave. With its smoothie-like consistency and surprising flavor profile, this drink proves to be unexpectedly enjoyable and potentially a sleeper hit for our year-end list.Then we unleash our worst (or best?) terrible theme park concepts. "Corporate Land" brings the magic of endless meetings to life with attractions like the TPS Report Coaster that never actually leaves the station and the Annual Shareholders Review Musical. "Tax Season Terrace" features an IRS Audit dark ride and the Deduction Deli where servers take 30% of your food and throw it away right in front of you.The creativity continues with "Diet Land" (requiring 30,000 mandatory steps), "Dental Kingdom" (featuring the painfully slow "Floss Coaster"), "Plumland" (bathroom-themed attractions with active splash zones), "Potato Land" (celebrating root vegetables with no cleanup stations), and "The Emotionally Repressed Frontier" (where animatronics silently process family issues).Our most intriguing bad idea might be "Touchstone Land," celebrating Disney's adult-oriented film label with attractions based on hits like "The Rock," "Dead Poets Society," and "Pretty Woman." This concept actually contains elements many Disney fans might genuinely enjoy – proving that sometimes even terrible ideas contain a spark of inspiration.Join us for this hilarious brainstorming session that blends Disney parks knowledge, nostalgia, and creativity into one unforgettable cocktail of an episode. What's your favorite terrible theme park concept?Here's who we are and what is in store for you

Theme parks have transformed from the travelling fairs of the fifties and Disney-inspired family resorts into playgrounds for adrenalin junkies of all ages.  So, how do ride designers meet the needs of their discerning public? Bradley Wynne, lead creative artist at Merlin Magic Making, is a man who knows - he's spent a lifetime obsessing about all things theme park and is now heading up the team for Thorpe Park's biggest ever launch, Derren Brown's Ghost Train.  In this episode, Olly learns from him how sounds, smells and touch can enhance the experience of riding a rollercoaster; discusses the fallout from the tragedy on The Smiler, and how you can use a very boring interest in planning application data to your advantage, to secure a dream job. This episode first aired in April 2016, in our episode Let's Build A Theme Park. Now remastered and with an update from Bradley nine years on, we're replaying it to celebrate Olly's new BBC show: ROLLERCOASTER - UNIVERSAL'S BEDFORDSHIRE JOURNEY.

Unfortunately, every few months will find another story about a popular Disney influencer or brand doing some horrible things...usually to women.  The Disney community can be a great place to meet people in the safe environment of the theme parks, but there are some precautions you should take when entering through on-line spaces.  Rick and Gillian will talk more about this in today's episode.

Today, this is what's important: Weird style, theme parks, staying up late, baby music, outdoors, television, & more. Click here for more information about the This Is Important Cruise.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're counting down the Top 10 Walt Disney World Park Catchphrases—those iconic lines, safety spiels, and magical quotes that have become just as legendary as the attractions themselves. Whether they give us chills, crack us up, or instantly transport us to our happy place, these lines are part of what makes the Disney experience so unforgettable.From classic rides like Haunted Mansion and Spaceship Earth, to modern hits like Cosmic Rewind and Flight of Passage, we're diving into the best of the best across all four Walt Disney World parks. We're not just sharing the quotes—we're also bringing the backstory, fun facts, and a few hidden details you might not have known about your favorite rides and their most quotable moments.Of course, we had to sneak in a few honorable mentions too—because let's be honest, narrowing this list down to ten wasn't easy. And yes… the Monorail made the cut.So whether you're listening from Main Street, your car, or just trying to hold off your next trip a little longer, join us as we celebrate the unforgettable lines that live rent-free in every Disney fan's head. Some are funny, some are heartfelt—but all of them are pure Disney magic.MEI-Travel – Expertise. Ease.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Chad Pennycuff (My DVC Points Podcast), we're diving deeper into Universal Orlando's brand-new theme park: Epic Universe — and there's so much more to explore! After attending the Grand Opening event for media, I share my insight on the parks along with Chad's an Orlando local and "theme park junkie."This episode covers:

he Horror Nights Gods blessed us with a second spooky week for Orlando and we recieved 4 scarezone announcements as well as two brand new "street experiences". We discuss each announcement as well as all of the information that was shared from the HHN UK travel agent panel this week, including some info about Five Nights, Terrifier, Jason and Fallout as well as each original house. We check-in on each coast to see how construction is going for both HHN 2025 in Hollywood and HHN34 in Orlando as well as some speculation about the future of HHN in Hollywood with it's current ongoing construction.10% off Horrors Untold:https://horrorsuntold.com/product/horrors-untold/aff/5/Follow HHN 365 on social media:Instagram HHN365Twitter @HHN365TikTok: @HHN365podJoin our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/jUD9nZav2UMerch: HHN365.comFeatured audio is courtesy of White Bat Audio

As record heat continues to disrupt attendance, attractions in Asia are innovating to keep guests cool. Tokyo Disneyland is extending evening hours and spraying down guests in its summer parade, while Universal Studios Japan is giving out salt candy and shifting its operating schedule later. Water parks in Korea are going further—launching crossovers with popular brands like One Piece, Air Conditioned Ferris Wheels, K-pop concerts, bubble zones, and discounted villas to become full-blown vacation destinations. This week, we discuss what makes these weather-ready strategies work—and why U.S. parks still struggle to shift hours, provide basic guest comfort, or invest in low-cost cooling measures. Plus: is the traditional queue-and-ride theme park model becoming obsolete as water parks pivot toward shaded, all-day “paradise” environments? And will Six Flags' likely Q2 miss—already blamed on heat—finally force a mindset change? Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

We're throwing on our festive gear and stepping into the holiday spotlight to answer one big question—which Disney after-hours party is the best of the season? Is it the spooky fun of Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the cozy charm of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, or the retro glitz of Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios?We're going head-to-head-to-head as we break these parties down across multiple categories—everything from entertainment and character sightings to food, vibes, crowd levels, and overall value. We're each casting our votes in every round, sharing our thoughts (and probably disagreeing a few times), and by the end, we're crowning our pick for the top Disney holiday party of the year.If we're being honest, we know some of you are debating which one to attend—and some of you are just planning to hit all three. Either way, we've got you covered.So we're grabbing our trick-or-treat bag, our Santa hats, and maybe a sparkly blazer or two, and we're inviting you to join us for the ultimate festive face-off!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

What makes a Disney resort truly magical? Is it the proximity to the parks, the dining options, the pool, or that indescribable feeling you get when you first walk into the lobby? After staying at 13 different Disney resorts across both coasts, we're finally ready to rank them all—and some of our placements might surprise you!From the Dolphin's lack of Disney theming to the Grand Floridian's perhaps too-bougie atmosphere, we deep dive into what worked (and what didn't) at each property. Even more surprising? The prestigious Grand Floridian only makes it to the middle of our rankings, while value resort All-Star Movies cracks the top 10 with its immersive Toy Story theming.As we count down to our top five, we explore what truly creates that magical "we're here" feeling. The Yacht Club dazzles with Stormalong Bay and EPCOT proximity, the Grand Californian offers direct park access with a serene atmosphere, and the Polynesian delivers island vibes with spectacular fireworks views. Wilderness Lodge nearly takes the crown with its breathtaking lobby and peaceful seclusion despite being moments from Magic Kingdom.But there's one resort that unanimously claimed our #1 spot. Animal Kingdom Lodge transports guests completely to an African safari lodge, with savanna views, cultural immersion, and a fully realized theme unlike anything else at Walt Disney World. From waking up to giraffes outside your balcony to exploring the extensive collection of African art in the lobby, it creates an experience impossible to replicate anywhere else on property.Whether you're planning your first Disney trip or your twentieth, join us as we break down the pros and cons of each resort we've experienced.

I'm joined by a very special guest—my daughter Kailyn—as we recap a whirlwind Disney weekend full of sun, snacks, and some serious theme park hustle.Kailyn hadn't stepped foot in the 4 Walt Disney World parks since Thanksgiving of 2023—and before that, Christmas 2022. But rewind a bit further, and she was basically raised at Disney. As a longtime Annual Passholder, she spent years visiting once or twice a month with us, until both kids eventually hit that wall a lot of families know all too well: Disney burnout. So they let their passes go, took a step back… and just like that, a new chapter began.But this past weekend, we opened the book again. On Thursday, it was off to Typhoon Lagoon for a splash-filled day of water slides, waves, and lazy rivers. Then we cleaned up and headed to Disney Springs for shopping and dinner at Wailulu Bar & Grill. (Spoiler: we'll be talking about poke bowls, fish, and tattoos.)And then came Friday—a 16-hour park day that took us to EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom and packed in 20 attractions. We're talking thrill rides, strategy, food fuel, and some genuine moments of rediscovering the magic.You'll hear Kailyn's honest take on what it was like coming back after nearly two years away, how the parks felt different, and what moments reminded her why she used to love it in the first place.This is a special one for us—a dad-daughter Disney trip with laughs, nostalgia, and a whole lot of fun.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as mass layoffs at Xbox, secret N64 games coming to Nintendo Switch Online, revelations from the recent investor Q&A, and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing.

Step into the heart of Disney dining magic as we take you behind the scenes at Chef Mickey's breakfast buffet in Disney's Contemporary Resort. Imagine savoring warm cinnamon rolls (possibly the best we've ever tasted!) while Mickey Mouse himself stops by for a selfie – all with the iconic Disney monorail gliding overhead through the soaring Grand Canyon Concourse.What makes Chef Mickey's special isn't just the food – though the bountiful breakfast buffet delivers with everything from Mickey waffles to apple-filled beignets and a delicious hash brown casserole. The real magic happens when the Fab Five (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto) make their rounds, creating personal moments with guests of all ages. We were particularly impressed with how attentive the characters were, even circling back to interact with our table when a family member was briefly at the buffet.Unlike some character dining experiences that can overwhelm with noise and commotion, Chef Mickey's strikes the perfect balance – festive enough to feel special but calm enough to actually enjoy conversations with your travel companions. Characters move efficiently through the restaurant, typically meeting each table within a 15-20 minute window, which means you can focus on both the interactions and your meal without constant interruptions.At $58 per adult and $37 per child (plus tax and gratuity), this character breakfast represents a significant investment, but the combination of abundant food options, character moments, and the convenience of monorail access to Magic Kingdom makes it a worthwhile consideration for your Disney vacation. Whether you're revisiting a Disney dining tradition or creating new family memories, Chef Mickey's remains one of those quintessential Disney experiences that continues to delight guests decades after it first opened.Ready to make Chef Mickey's part of your next Disney adventure?

We're taking you along on a whirlwind couple of days at Walt Disney World—complete with friends, food, drinks, and a few unexpected twists (including a surprise snake sighting near the Skyliner… yep, that happened).We kicked things off with snacks and sips at Bar Riva to see some Cast Member friends alongside our good friends Lucie and Caleb, and the fun just kept rolling from there. We did a little shopping in Pandora (yes, we bought rings), used an Individual Lightning Lane for Cosmic Rewind, and bounced around resorts chasing dinner plans from California Grill to Steakhouse 71 to Three Bridges—where we finally found our perfect Plan C, great food, and some awesome cast member interactions.We also squeezed in some magic at Magic Kingdom to ride Haunted Mansion, placed a special hat embroidery order, and spent a rainy afternoon at Disney Springs catching up, indulging in Salt & Straw, and hiding out at Jock Lindsey's. The trip wrapped up with poolside snacks at Siestas, an evening at Dahlia Lounge, and a final stop at Jeff's Bagels on the way home—because you know we weren't leaving without breakfast handled.It was a trip full of laughs, detours, and Disney magic, and we can't wait to share it with you.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're stepping outside the Disney bubble and heading deep into the heart of Texas for an unforgettable trip to Austin. That's right—we swapped MagicBands for cowboy boots and spent the weekend soaking up everything Austin has to offer, from mouthwatering food to meaningful moments.We're talking Michelin-starred barbecue brisket that melts in your mouth, spicy chicken from a food truck named Spicy Boys, an incredible cowgirl hat experience at Kendra Scott's Yellow Rose boutique, and a dive bar that turned out to be surprisingly sober-friendly. Plus, opening up about a powerful personal milestone—reaching 475 days of sobriety—and how a three-hour Blue October concert helped finally deliver the clarity.Whether it's floating in freezing cold Barton Springs, indulging in gourmet ice cream, or spotting a puppy in an Uber, this was a weekend filled with unexpected joy, emotional growth, and plenty of laughter. So if you're looking for an inspiring, delicious, and downright weird adventure beyond the theme parks, grab your hat (and maybe a churro for comfort) and come along for the ride!MEI-Travel – Expertise.
