When Tom and Josh are away, Jon Self and Xavier Hamilton of Universal Food Blog come out to play! There's unprecedented levels of insight and knowledge about theme parks on this week's episode, as two people who actually visit such places on a regular basis take the reins from us lousy Brits.

You can find out more about Universal Food Blog at uogrubhub.com.

Note - Jon makes a few references to a news segment at the end of the show, which - due to some audio quality issues - never arrives! It's a good show regardless, so buckle up and enjoy the ride.

On this week's show, the last before Tom heads to Florida, we discuss the new Frozen land coming to Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris, an opening date for Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at Epcot, and more!

Plus, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has upped his war of words with Disney, Hyperspace Mountain is returning to Anaheim, and Universal has shown off its residential project near Epic Universe.
