Join us for episode 18 of the Theme Park Trader podcast!

As we recorded a filler episode last week to account for Dan being away in New York we had a heck of a lot of news to catch you guys up on this week!

We kick the show off with a trip report from Dan and his thoughts on the Disney Store in New York before diving straight into the news where we chat about the opening of both Cobra's Curse at Busch Gardens Tampa and Reign of Kong at Islands of Adventure in Orlando.

We then chat about the rather pointless DVC lounge that has opened up at Epcot before discussing rumours on a new attraction coming to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Disney adding premium parking to their water parks in Walt Disney World.

To wind down on the podcast we discuss the paid safari experience coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom, Skipper Canteen now taking dining reservations and The Walking Dead returning to Universal's Halloween Horror Nights!

Join us for episode 16 of the Theme Park Trader podcast!

This week we kick things off by diving straight into our thoughts on the behind the scenes video of the making of Jungle Book: Alive with the Magic show at Disney's Animal Kingdom. We got quite optimistic about the show however since we recorded the show we watched the show on YouTube and were more than a little underwhelmed.

We then move onto discussing the third track opening at Toy Story Midway Mania before going into this week's rant of the week where we discuss the pains for refurbishments at theme parks and how perhaps Disney could be better at giving notice on refurbishments.

After this weeks rant we discuss the old Soarin attraction reopening for a short time at Epcot before Soarin Around the World opens before moving on to discuss a potential Muppets pizza restaurant opening at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

To end this weeks podcast we discuss the new Walking Dead attraction coming to Universal Hollywood and the confusing changes going on at Walt Disney World if you are planning to catch at bus to one of the water parks!

Join us for episode 15 of the Theme Park Trader podcast!

We begin the podcast this week by welcoming our guest and friend to the show Abbie who talks to us about her recent trip to Thorpe Park and we question her about booking her very first trip to Walt Disney World and what she is looking forward to the most. She also turns things round on Ryan and Dan to ask us questions about WDW including an explainer on the Disney Dining Plan.

Rant of the week is a fun one this week as we talk about staff/cast member attitude in the park and how it can impact your day at the parks. We compare staff here in England to Disneyland Paris as well as Florida and how attitudes differ depending on what park you are in.

Of course the podcast wouldn't be complete without the news and this week we chat Frozen Ever After opening date, Dinosaur refurbishment, new food kiosks coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios and Buzz Lightyear at Shanghai Disneyland + more!
