The Light Em And Hide Disney and Universal Park Podcast

Details of my birthday weekend extravaganza with my two kids at Universal Studios Florida. An A+ trip with nothing but unbelievable customer service from Team Members, tons of complimentary gifts from Cabana Bay, Margaritaville, Galaxy Bowl, the TMs all over the shops, rides, restaurants, and any  place you could think of. Probably the best trip to USF that I have had in years, and there have been some great ones.

Take care. Brush the birthday cake outta ya hair.

New parades. New E tickets. New Drone shows. New Harry Potter shows. New Dreamworks land! The return of Shrek and Donkey! New nighttime spectaculars in 3 different places. Plus, all the places to cool down and enjoy it all. Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Florida are both on fire this summer. Here's your guide!!

Litem Jr tells the tale of how he got his new "Isle of Berk" shirt from the not yet opened Universal Studios EPIC Adventure on his very own podcast. Recorded live from Disney Animal Kingdom, he also reviews Everest after his first time riding it. (This leaves only Velocicoaster and Hulk? as the only two Sea World, Disney, and Universal Coasters on both coasts that he has not ridden) > He's much braver than I was at age 9. (and maybe than I still am)  

Rocky start over at my favorite resort. The show starts with a live broadcast from the lounge area of Royal Pacific Resort in Universal Studios Florida and ends up being a great day for weather, shopping, and driving a motorbike.  The back story for the next episode, and how your host broke the story on the new merchandise for How to Train Your Dragon is told. This is part one of a 23,000-step day. Litem Jr joins me for the final 5 miles of the day at Disney Animal Kingdom tomorrow. Enjoy

Sounds and interactions with your old pal Litem as he walks into and around Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. Mini Golf, Jakes, Voodoo Doughnut, and even Homer Simpson are discussed live as I walk and share today's trip. Crowd level is a 10/10 but the weather is also a 10/10 and its a great day. Published hours after I got home just 12 miles away. Enjoy.

Setting the stage for a camping/walkabout trip here in beautiful Walt Disney World.  Some quick airline comedy and plenty of leaf blowers to boot. 

Wrapping up quick thoughts on DCA, World of Color, Nintendo-land at Universal Studios Hollywood, as well as a breaking news story about Minecraft and GTA coming in 2025

After years of wanting, waiting, and hoping to see the Disneyland Resort, this East Coast Dad finally got to go out west with the kids and see The House That Walt Built. Disneyland, Disney's California Adventure, and Universal Studios Hollywood were among the adventures the Litem crew had on the list for Christmas. Expectations were high, research was done, dreams were realized, and THE BEST VACATION I'VE HAD IN A DECADE happened. Here's why..............

Just some quick soundbites recorded on my first trip to Disneyland after going to Walt Disney World for 30+ years. It was amazing and did this former Cast Member's heart a world of good. 

My oldest and my youngest give their trip report for Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood. I wasn't in the studio, but you will enjoy it. Life-long Disney World and Universal Orlando AP holders, give their first impressions on the West Coast parks.
