He's back! We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Niels to the microphone once again. You know him as the brilliant photographer behind Niels Capturing Parks, a fellow member of the Insidears family, and the co-host of the Air Magique podcast. He joins us for a conversation we have been wanting to have for a very long time.

Niels knows Disneyland Paris like the back of his hand. But he has also spent time at Walt Disney World, and even better, he has a trip to Florida on the horizon. We thought it was the perfect moment to put him on the spot and compare the two resorts from every possible angle.

We cover a lot of ground in this one. Expect chat about:

• The sheer size difference and how it changes your approach to planning a holiday

• Dining reservations and whether you can still be spontaneous

• Merchandise hunting and the thrill of the exclusive find

• Head-to-head attraction comparisons, including the two very different versions of Big Thunder Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean

• Stage shows, including Festival of the Lion King versus Rhythms of the Pride Lands

• The paid line-skipping systems and how they stack up

But we saved the best for last. Right at the end, we asked Niels a question that moves beyond logistics and into something much more personal. It is a curveball about the soul of each resort and how one factor changes EVERYTHING. His answer was worth waiting for.
