  • AnR Get our Houses Sorted... HP style

    This isn't a plug for Marie Kondo but it is time to get some shit sorted. The terrific twosome is heading to the three terabyte broomsticks to chug Pumpkin Juice over a full English with a side of Bertie Botts every flavor beans. We got Cornish pasties on the table and quidditch on the big screen. But what table do we sit at? there are so many choices, each with more identity issues then JK can shake a wand at. Do we pick to sit with the Ravenclaw table with their wisdom and wit, or those hard-working softies at the hufflepuff booth, maybe we should kick it with the ambitious and ruthless Slytherins up at the bar. Or perhaps the honest and hero complex waving Gryffindors over by the bouncer? We have our work cut out for us if we are to fit in to the most beloved franchise this side of Batuu.  So join us for our very first ever Harry Potter podcast, and listen to  the true story...of two friends... picked by a magic hat to live in mythical school houses... and have their lives taped and podcasted...to find out what happens... when Ryan stops being polite...and Adriane starts getting real... to find out, you gotta listen in.

    This week on an all-new episode of Drunk Distory presents ‘The Dark Ride’, we continue our deep dive into hotels around the theme park world with Drunk Distory's Resort Round Up. On this Episode, get ready to do the time warp again, as we drink our way through the decades, just like grandpa did. Were heading to the land of hippy dippies and boogie downs. If you like giant Playdoh and really big, big wheels, we got a perfect value resort for you. Welcome to the poppiest place this side of Oz. Today were strollin across the generation gap bridge to Disney's Pop Century Resort. A place where the bear necessities are put up against some tramp named lady.  Adriane and Ryan decode the decades  to figure out if there is value in vinyl and if skyliner access will make up for the fact that the 90s don't contain a building dedicated to the shows of TGIF.  "I'm staying in Urkele 343, it is so much better than last year where we were in  Danny Tanner 120" . See, missed opportunities.   Will this transportation bonanza of value hotels have us singin 'shave and a hair cut' like a cartoon rabbit, or will the giant duncan yoyos have us taking a walk into hourglass lake. There’s only one way to find out!

    It’s a monster mash up today as The Dark Ride talks Unbuilt Attractions. Have you ever wondered what a night in Bald Mountain might be like? And no before you ask that is not the name of Bob Chapek’s sex tape. It is just one of the many unbuilt scary, spooky, cooky , and creepy attractions that were once on the books at Orlando’s favorite haunting grounds. And you thought the turkey legs were scary. Well what if I told you that for a brief moment in the 90s, we almost had a Stephen King attraction at Universal Orlando, complete with a wall o  blood and a metaphysical alien clown with a predisposition for sewers and a love of Dole whips and churros... Ok so I made a part of that up. I guess technically there is no proof that Pennywise didn’t love those things. Unbuilt attractions are super fun, and we cover a bunch of them so get ready to see through your mind's eye and watch out for monsters under the bed as together we enter The Dark Ride!!!
