  • No filter Disney from middle aged men

    Been listening for years off and on. The guys say it as they see it .

    Lots of topics covered and they often can go off on a tangent which can be funny .

    I really enjoy the trip planning and trip review episodes 👍

    Keep up great work guys

  • Liked it until

    the host reverted to 80's stereotypes about scousers. To call one of the other contributers a prisoner because he comes from liverpool, a "joke" so lame he had to explain it and despite this still didn't generate a laugh, is pretty poor form. Add in the fact that this guy voted for brexit but instead of owning it he decides, wrongly, his voted didn't count.

    It is a pity as I have enjoyed the poscasts over the last few months but will not be listening in the future.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The UUOPodfather Joins Craig for one of those q&a episodes that come out when everyone is on holiday
Q: If you could bring back one extinct Orlando attraction for one final ride, which would it be?
Their top pick is Jaws, described with affection as a Universal classic, with discussions about preservation of legacy attractions and the emotional impact of closing beloved experiences.
The UUOPodfather Joins Craig for one of those q&a episodes that come out when everyone is on holiday
Q: Question three, the Hill to Die On. What is your most controversial park, food or drink choice?
They champion the Today Cafe at Universal Studios Florida as a hidden gem, arguing it offers the best value and quality on the Universal property, a stance that provokes playful disagreement about what counts as controversial.
The UUOPodfather Joins Craig for one of those q&a episodes that come out when everyone is on holiday
Q: Question two, the core memory trigger. What is the first sensory detail that makes your brain realize you're back in Orlando?
Lee splits the memory into two parts: the instant humidity shock after stepping from MCO into Florida air and the accompanying sensory overload of sound and environment that signals arrival, with humorous notes about December weather.
The UUOPodfather Joins Craig for one of those q&a episodes that come out when everyone is on holiday
Q: Question one, the Orlando origin story. Do you remember where you stayed and how many times you have been back since to crush that initial visit?
Craig and Lee recall a first Orlando trip in 2001-2004 with on-site stays, budget constraints, and repeated returns; Lee emphasizes the long-term, multi-trip nature of their relationship with Orlando rather than a single, definitive origin.
The HHN35 Lock in
Q: How early do you start conversations about IPs like Sinners, which are relatively new, and how does that shape your planning for a future HHN?
She describes initiating discussions early, pursuing partnerships with IP owners (e.g., Warner Brothers for Sinners) soon after the film's release, and building the house concept around the IP well before its broader recognition, which allowed the team to capitalize on the Oscar nomination once it happened.
