  • EP 23: Why Autumn Is The Best Time To Visit Orlando

    Guys, we hear you. So many of you have had your trips booked and cancelled for autumn of this year due to the pandemic.

    BUT, we are here not to dwell on the sad reality, but to celebrate the joyous fantastical occasion of visiting Orlando in the autumn! We’ve been visiting Orlando mostly in October and November over the last ten years or so and in this episode, we’re gonna tell you why.

    From the amazing value for money to the exciting events, the outstanding seasonal decor and unbeatable bargains, we’re talking about it all whilst taking note for our future trips.

    Let us know if it’s also your favourite time of year to visit via Instagram @the.duopodcast, Twitter @TheDUOPo and Facebook @theduopo. As always, please do review this podcast where you can and share with your fellow Orlando-loving pals. Thanks, and enjoy the show!

  • EP 22: An Ode To Disney Cast Members

    Listen in as we reminisce on our favourite Cast Member-ies, the moments where they made bad experiences great and those outside of WDW who are experiencing similar heartbreak.

  • EP 21: Hands Off Disney - Don't Change These 6 Things!

    Let’s be honest, we’ve all had those moments of utter shock at Walt Disney World changing a much-loved ride, restaurant or entertainment location. Whether it be the ending of Cirque Du Soleil’s La Nouba or more recently, the classic ride Splash Mountain, over the years we have had to say an abrupt farewell to some of our favourite things. Most have been easy to move past, whilst some have been hard…

    We agree that change is necessary and shifts in a positive direction as a result, but on today’s episode, we’re going to talk about the 6 things we absolutely, categorically DO NOT want Disney to change.

    Hence, HANDS OFF DISNEY!

    Let us know what you want to stay the same in Walt Disney World on Twitter @TheDUOPo and Instagram @the.duopodcast. Thanks guys and enjoy the show!

    P.S. Have you reviewed our show on Apple Podcasts yet? It’d mean the world if you could spare a minute to leave us some friendly words so we can get our low-key Disney obsession to the masses! X

    If you tuned into the show a few episodes we go, we reminisced about the things we missed in Walt Disney World that are no longer there.

    We couldn’t have just covered WDW! Especially when, there are so many memories attached to our earlier trips and earlier experiences over at Universal Orlando. SO, we’ve put together our top five much-missed things across Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.

    We’d seriously LOVE to hear your choices as we know we aren’t as savvy with all things UO as a lot of you so be sure to let us know over on @the.duopodcast on Instagram and @TheDUOPo on Twitter.

  • EP 17: The 6 Shows We Want on Disney+

    If you’re like us, you’ve probably been bingeing on Disney+ since it was released to the UK on March 26th, 2020. We’ve loved getting stuck into some old Disney Channel classics, rewatching our favourite films and also learning about all the behind the scenes magic inside Walt Disney World.

    That said, our nerdy selves have also been wondering what we would love to see on Disney+ that gives even more BTS action of all the happenings inside the World.

    This episode is all about the TV shows we know would be crowd-pleasers on the streaming service and would love for this to be a PSA to The Walt Disney Company to make them happen!

    Let us know what shows you’d love to see land on Disney+ over on Twitter (@TheDUOPo) and Instagram (@the.duopodcast) and if you like what you’re hearing, please do review this podcast wherever you can to spread the word. Thanks team and enjoy the show!

  • EP 16: The Things We Loved In Walt Disney World That Are No More Pt. 2

    If you listened to last week’s episode then you know the score, but just in case you need a ‘lil reminder…

    We’re talking about the things we miss in #WaltDisneyWorld that no longer exist! To help segment the episode, we put our choices into six categories:

    1. Attractions/Rides - whatever begins and ends in the same place in the theme parks
    2. Daytime Entertainment - seasonal shows, parades, street-oosphere performers etc!
    3. Nighttime Spectaculars - fireworks, evening shows
    4. Disney Springs - anything at WDW’s popular shopping and entertainment locations
    5. Items of Food and Drink/Restaurants
    6. Extras - a free for all of any miscellaneous thing you miss that doesn’t fall into the above categories! We got some awesome ideas from you for this.
    7. We hope you enjoy today's show and as always, reach out and tell us YOUR choices via @the.duopodcast on Instagram and @TheDUOPo on Twitter and remember to like and review this podcast anywhere you can as it really helps to get the word out!

    8. EP 15: The Things We Loved In Walt Disney World That Are No More

      Oooo we love a good throwback, don’t we? In today’s episode, we’re covering all the things we miss in Walt Disney World that are no more.

      Once we got into this episode, we realised that it would be AT LEAST a two-parter and one that would suit as a Universal Orlando edition too!

      We’re talking you through rides, restaurants, experiences, shows and more that we were sad to see go, but do you agree with our choices?

      This episode is a fun opportunity for you to chat with your family about the things you miss in the World that are no longer there and we’d love to hear about the memories that surround them so be sure to get in touch with us @the.duopodcast on Instagram and @TheDUOPo on Twitter.
