It’s September, and time for our middle of the month Shares a Waffle show

John, Claire and Ben share a Waffle, a laugh, a bag of Pear Drops and so much more with the English enigma that is ThemeParkBazza!

We share his journey from the UK to the USA and his recent move to Orlando, this is a must listen show, for anyone who has that dream of moving to the sunshine state, or indeed for those of us who just dream!

Bazza, has set YouTube alight with his humour through his vlogs from the parks and his DIY handy hints and tips videos that are superb (even telling us about recent  advice from his own Mum!) He is also joined by his wife to review some food places in Orlando too- take note Gordon Ramsay!

We had such a great Waffle taking us from Blackpool to Orlando and back again, this is a show that really will put a smile on your face.

Barry proved to be a superb guest - in Claire’s words “ So dead normal !!l” he faced our Carousel of Questions and told us about his dinner party plans. He also shared so much advice about the things you look for if you are planning to buy property in the Orlando area, plus a great reminder about fireworks at Magic Kingdom too!

Barry can be found on all his socials @ThemeparkBazza, well worth checking out

Enjoy the show and until the next time,

Waffle On!

Welcome to the September episode of The Great British Mickey Waffle.

Having recently sailed with Captain Mickey and Captain Minnie, Gill takes the helm, steering us through uncharted waters.  She’s joined by Peter, Ben, Becca and Claire as we discuss the first conundrum of a holiday to Walt Disney World – to plan or not to plan?

Then Gill takes us on a virtual trip to the parks as we discuss her choices in this month’s ‘Come Disney With Me’.  Let’s just say there is more than one candidate for ‘song you’ll have stuck in your head all day’ – you have been warned!

Welcome to the August 2021 episode of The Great British Mickey Waffle 

This month Peter takes the chair.  He is joined by Ben, Becca, Gill, John, Sammie and our overseas correspondent Claire. Peter has chosen a signature restaurant, a show that is not that summer like, and a well loved attraction for his Come Disney with Me. How well will he score? 

With the 50th anniversary of WDW on the horizon, John leads the whole team in a discussion of the news coming out of the Parks, and from Golden Statues to new shows there is plenty to talk about.

From “Hello” to “Waffle on” we have a busy, entertaining and informative show. Don't forget to check out our Facebook Community - The Wafflers’ Arms or our website for the current leaderboard - www.gbmickeywaffle.com

This very special bonus episode of the Great British Mickey Waffle rounds off our amazing month of Marvel! 

Claire, Ben and Becca were so excited to be able to have the opportunity to “Share a Waffle” with none other than Kate Herron, director of the recently concluded season 1 of the Marvel Disney + Series: Loki. 

Kate had lots to tell us about her experiences shooting Loki. We discussed her favourite scene to create, what it was like being part of the MCU, and the incredible opportunity to work with the best SFX team in the business. 

We also had the chance to probe a little into the clever Easter eggs left around the show, how B15 was originally written as a male role, and also what it feels like for her to be handing the show across to a different director for Season 2 and whatever mischief it will bring. 

We even discussed Mobius and his Jet Ski! 

We are so grateful to Kate for spending her time chatting to us, joining us in geeking out about Loki and Marvel, and even pondering the concept of Alligator Loki perhaps appearing in a parade one day… stranger things have happened! 

We hope you enjoy this extra special episode- so far this has been a highlight of our podcast journey!

How her passion for running has become an integral part of her daily routine and so much more. As always, we asked Lisa to complete our Carousel of Questions and to choose her dining companions too. She also manages to find the definitive answer to our ongoing Nemo versus The Lion King show conundrum!

It’s June which means it’s time for another episode in our “GBMW Shares a Waffle” series.

This month Claire, ably assisted by Ben, Becca and John, had the absolute pleasure in chatting with the always chipper, cheery and very interesting Zac Brown.

No, not THAT Zac Brown (the one with the band), but OUR Zac Brown - the one who is a part of many of the Disney communities we love to be part of regularly.

Zac’s own podcast - The Zac Brown Show - has been around for about 18 months and it features him having some really fabulous conversations with a huge variety of guests. Some of the most notable are Trader Brandon (Brandon Kleyla) who was an Imagineer working on Trader Sam’s; musician Corey Jess, and some well known friends of the GBMW - Jason Canapp, Carlos Silva and of course Lou Mongello.

Zac proved to be a superb guest - he faced our Carousel of Questions and told us about his dinner party plans. We talked about our excitement for the new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Coaster and he discussed with us what motivates him about leaving a legacy (not the EPCOT tiny photo version) and why music is so important in his life.

We had so much fun with Zac, and it’s highly likely that he will be back - there was so much more to talk about!

We love it when a guest has more to say than we do (and this is pretty difficult when John is in the team) -  this was definitely one of those shows!

The Zac Brown Show can be found on your podcast provider of choice, and he can be followed on Instagram @thezacbrownshow and @itszacbrown.

For this month’s show Ben is in charge, as we take a trip back down memory lane as we reminisce and celebrate our 2nd anniversary of The GB Mickey Waffle. We share the details on Disney’s latest offer for UK guests and whether it has influenced any of our plans and we hear some lovely messages from our friends and supporters of the show.  

Ben also has his turn on presenting his “Come Disney With Me” which is a new segment which debuted in last month's show. Make sure you go back and check that one out.   

It’s a Wafflers’ take on the classic TV shows similar to Come Dine with Me, where every month, one member of the GBMW team will take the opportunity to present 3 things to their teammates and ask for their ratings and views!   

Those 3 things will be:
