  • June is the month that keeps on giving here at the Great British Mickey Waffle..

    You will find a section of our 5th birthday discussions released weekly simply because the show would have been FAR too long for anyone to enjoy.

    Our own personal Disney Experience was one of the areas of discussion that I think should probably come with an official “mascara warning” as there are some emotional topics at play here and as a team we want to send love and positivity to anyone dealing with these themselves.

  • In this episode of the Great British Mickey Waffle, we're joined by Russ from the Orlando Adventures Podcast to uncover Orlando's hidden gems beyond the theme parks. From must-visit spots to insider tips, we take you on an enchanting journey through this magical city.

    We dive into our Carousel of Questions, revealing our favorite parks, snacks, and modes of transportation. Volcano Bay from Universal takes center stage as we discuss its unique Aqua Coaster and night-time experience, comparing it to Disney's water parks. We also share our preference for off-site hotels for a seamless park-hopping adventure and express our excitement for the upcoming Epic Universe park.

    The debate between Festival of the Lion King and Finding Nemo: The Musical adds intrigue, setting the stage for future visits and exploring newly opened theme parks. We then shift focus to the competitive landscape between Disney and Universal, emphasizing Universal's Epic Universe expansion and Disney's need to stay relevant.

    Join us as we suggest Disney make big announcements at D23 and explore the crucial role of transportation in Orlando. We advocate for unique experiences like airboat rides and visits to Kennedy Space Center, reflecting on the awe-inspiring memorial wall and the space program's sacrifices.

    Planning future trips, from Disney cruises to new attractions, fills us with excitement and keeps the magic of Orlando alive in our hearts. Our shared passion for Orlando shines through, resonating with fellow enthusiasts.

  • The Great British Mickey Waffle show for the 1st June has been edited to be an exclusive show about the Sherman Brothers, following the sad passing of Richard M Sherman on Saturday 25th May. 
    We were always due to feature the incredible Sherman Brothers this month in our Imaginearing series, but we had no idea when we recorded that just a few days later this tribute would take on a whole new meaning. 
    We really hope you enjoy our chat about the brilliance of these amazing musicians, and remember their music fondly. Which earworm is your favourite?

  • This month, for our Great British Mickey Waffle Mid-month show, the team of Wafflers, led by Claire, made some new friends - or as they like to call their own community - ‘Ohana.

    The team of Matt and Krystle from Married to Disney Addict Podcast and community joined us for a chat that, quite frankly, could have kept going for hours and hours and hours!

    Claire had joined Matt and Krystle for one of their shows back in December and had a load of fun, so we invited them to join us to waffle about some Disney history, and future.

    First of all though, as newcomers to our community we extended the warm and fuzzy hug of welcome, known only as the Carousel of Questions. It’s been a couple of years since this feature was retired - maybe we should bring it back for new guests? Let us know in the comments if you think we should.

    After that we chatted about some classic attractions that have long since hung up their offerings to guests, and whether we as a group believe that what has replaced them is better… or worse?

    Is Frozen Ever After an improvement on Maelstrom?

    Is Toy Story Land a better experience than the classic MGM Studios Backlot Tour?

    Could Creations ever be preferable to Mouse Gear?

    And the one we found the hardest - is Baseline Tap House an adequate replacement for the glory and oasis that was The Writer’s Stop?

    We discuss attractions, restaurants, shopping and even some night-time spectaculars and decide if the newer offerings are a step up, or a step down from the previous inhabitants of that space.

    It left the team with a very long list that we didn’t get round to covering, so let us know if we didn’t talk about your favourite and perhaps we can discuss it on a future show?!

    You can find Married to a Disney Addict at www.marriedtoadisneyaddict.com, and all on all socials @marriedtoadisneyaddict

    We look forward to welcoming Matt and Krystle back for a future episode.
