Is fall a good time to visit the Florida Disney parks? YES!! Thinking of visiting Universal Orlando? Take that unexpected trip. What to expect from the weather, crowd level, and cost of hotels during each of the next 3 mos. If you can stand the heat, have some patience, and know what weekends to avoid, it's the best time of the year for your wallet. 

Part 2 of our trip report on EPIC UNIVERSE. Thoughts on how to stay cool in the new park (It's really hard to do during summer), Pizza Moon being "mid", and the kids' favorite Team Member interactions. Overall, the trip for AP Previews was a huge success, and we are all looking forward to heading back in the Fall. Enjoy!

The kids and I were fortunate enough to visit EPIC Universe during passholder previews. Would the park work out for teens and pre-teens? I'll let them tell you. In this episode, they discuss how they found out they were going and what it was like walking into Orlando's newest theme park. Dark Universe is our first installment of the series. Each one will be no longer than 30 minutes. Enjoy

I just had to record while visiting Disney World's most amazing hotels. Listen to the sounds, imagine the sights, and relive the magic of what is truly the crown jewel of the Walt Disney World Resort. The sounds of music, animals, cast members, and all the smells just came rushing back as I was editing this one. It's very short, but I hope it brings you fond memories. Jambo!

Universal Team Members aren't as well-known as their counterparts over at Disney World for guest service. In recent years, we have really had some out of this world experiences with Team Members at Universal Studios Orlando. This episode is a quick story about what a senior Team Leader did out of the blue at my family's second favorite attraction. You can love both places, and there are Cast Members and Team Members at each place that will go above and beyond to make your day better. Enjoy some back stage tales and brush your alien hair.

20 minute trip report on Day 2 of the Cabana Bay Staycation. This episode has a pop up shop for Team Members and Universal Annual Passholders with 50% discounts on tons of merchandise. Located RIGHT IN THE PARK. Where? Take a listen to find this hidden gem. (Think Cast Connection for Disney Cast, but open to the public inside Universal Studios) 

Also MARDIS GRAS PARADE!!! All the details and why we vowed to never take the bus the rest of the trip. Enjoy

Spring Break 2025! Decided to skip a trip to Disneyland in CA, and stick around Orlando this year. Litem Jr and Little Litem both had a blast checking into the towers overlooking Volcano Bay on this trip. The first of a few 20 minute episodes; this one features the St Paddy's Day scene at Finnegan's in USF, Pat O'Brien's dueling pianos featuring Irish tunes, and the rough start we had using the buses from CB to CityWalk. Enjoy this quick recap of day 1. 

My trip to Disney Springs was interrupted by an incident that was so funny I had to report. Hope it makes you laugh. No country bears or pretzel bites were harmed in the recording of this quick podcast. 

Just a quick hello from a few locations as I relaxed in the sun and enjoyed the blessings of a beautiful day at some of my favorite places. Enjoy, and if you can afford it, buy at Copper Creek. I was shocked and someday I would like to have a piece of that peace.

Litem Jr and I talk about a rare crowd level three (empty park pretty much) at Universal Studios Orlando. The costumes, the props, the Grinch, and the new Holiday Celestina Warbeck party. Enjoy
