Episode 33: Universal's Epic Universe with Special Guest Alicia Stella from Orlando Park Stop

February 28, 2020 by Danny Bogue

Sup Nerds?

If you haven’t noticed, Universal Orlando is developing a brand new theme park just down the road from their current resort. Titled Epic Universe, the new park is going to be an innovative addition to the Orlando Theme Park Landscape. While we don’t have many official details yet, I wanted to try to read some tea leaves to look into the future of the park.

To do that, I thought of one person. She gets some of the best scoops in the game, so I knew she’d have some details about the new park. Joining me from OrlandoParkStop.com the one and only, Alicia Stella.

January 17, 2020 by Danny Bogue

Sup Nerds?

If you've ever been to Port Orleans Riverside, you may have had a chance to hear Disney Legend YeeHa Bob Jackson performing in the River Roost Lounge. If you haven't, I can't recommend his show enough. I've been a fan of his for years, and I'm very honored to say he joined me as my guest on the show this week. Bob & I sat down to discuss his long tenure at Port Orleans Riverside, some of his favorite stories over the years, and experiences outside of Disney.

E26: Accessibility with Special Guest: Will Sigmon

Sup Nerds?

One of my goals with this show has always been to bring new perspectives to Disney fans. I myself am average height, so I don’t know what it’s like for a little person to visit Disney.

This week, I invited my good friend Will Sigmon to come on the show to discuss his experience with Accessibility at Walt Disney World. It was an educational conversation for me, and I hope it will be for you too.

Sup Nerds?

April is Autism Awareness month, so I wanted to bring on someone that could help teach myself and my guests a bit about Autism and what it’s like to visit Disney with someone diagnosed with Autism. To do that, I invited my good friend and Registered Behavior Technician Elle onto the show. After a brief intro about Mizner’s Lounge, we discuss Autism, what it’s like for people with Autism to visit Walt Disney World, the accommodations that Disney offers to those families, and how you can be a good neighbor to those guests.
