Off-Property Ponderings

It's time for a good catchup, with a side of tangents... And with a lot of Disney news, there's plenty to talk about, so we took the opportunity to keep the conversation going with some of your questions - Disney and Non Disney!

Leaving the Disney bubble is a must for us on any trip, but where do we like to visit when we've got time to spare, away from the parks?  In this episode, we chat through some of our favoutie places and experiences from trips gone by and look forward to the new off-property adventures to come!

You asked for it, we've had a couple weeks off but here's our take on Universal Orlando Resort. We talk through our favourite bits, our worst bits and the things that keep us coming back year after year. There's an 'Ask Us Anything' from a new listener and some exciting news about our next Disney trip (fingers crossed it happens!). Plus, if you come for the Disney and stay for the terrible humour, we've got you in the first five minutes...

Let's face it, Britain has some classic theme parks but nothing with the level of immersive themeing you get at a Disney Park. But would that even work? This week, you help us consider what kinds of things would you find in a British version of the Magic Kingdom? Also, Scott has another terrible idea for a TV series that honestly should never see the light of day...

This week we're talking Disney Dining. Specifically Table Service dining because now that 2022 vacation packages have been released, we know the free Disney Dining Plan is no longer part of the package, making your restaurant choices more crucial than ever, as you search for the best value food, service and experience. We polled you on your thoughts and my goodness, there were strong opinions...

To celebrate Valentines Day we invited you to take part by sharing some of your hilarious romantic stories, we remember a few of our own and there's a special Ask Us Anything where we answer your questions about our relationship, including the wedding day we NEVER wish to relive ever again! It may be an episode all about love, but there's a little bit of Disney somewhere in there too and for the first time, a 'News of America' where all the stories ACTUALLY happened in the USA!

It's another guest episode where we get the chat all things Disney Parks with some of our favourite them park creatives - Yaz & Ash from www.magicaldayapparel.com! We learn all about their love for parks on both sides of the pond, what life is like running their theme park-inspired business and there's another quick-fire round of questions to keep them on their toes! Plus Scott brings you all the latest weird and wonderful stateside stories in News of America!

This week its personal. We're talking Mental Health in this episode and Scott shares his personal story from early days, through to diagnosis and how he manages his mental health today. Plus we talk about how Disney Parks have been an amazing part of his journey towards mental wellness and the ways that the parks accommodate both physical and invisible illnesses. Don't worry, it's still filled with our usual nonsense and yes, News of America gets top billing once again!

This episode we answer your questions in another 'Ask Us Anything', packed with Disney and non-Disney questions and we celebrate official USA approval of 'News of America' with more of Scott's pick of 'quality' stories from across the pond. 

It's Disney News, and it isn't! We weigh in on the latest stories to come out of WDW over the past 7 days and Scott introduces his new weekly segment, which is sure to launch us internationally - 'News of America'. Theres aliens, Haribo jewellery and human vs animal cage fighting. Truly, it's as bad as it sounds.
