On this special discussion, Chuck, Meaghan, and Matt look back at a transformative year at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando. If 2025 felt different, that’s because it was — this was truly the year of construction. From cranes on the skyline to walls teasing what’s next, the parks were full of change, anticipation, and big promises for the future. The trio reflects on what it was like to visit during such a pivotal moment, what projects excited (or tested) guests the most, and how this year of building sets the stage for what’s coming next. It’s a thoughtful look...
