The Light Em And Hide Theme park Podcast
Part 2 of our trip report on EPIC UNIVERSE. Thoughts on how to stay cool in the new park (It's really hard to do during summer), Pizza Moon being "mid", and the kids' favorite Team Member interactions. Overall, the trip for AP Previews was a huge success, and we are all looking forward to heading back in the Fall. Enjoy!

The kids talk EPIC previews
The Light Em And Hide Theme park Podcast
The kids and I were fortunate enough to visit EPIC Universe during passholder previews. Would the park work out for teens and pre-teens? I'll let them tell you. In this episode, they discuss how they found out they were going and what it was like walking into Orlando's newest theme park. Dark Universe is our first installment of the series. Each one will be no longer than 30 minutes. Enjoy

Live from Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
The Light Em And Hide Theme park Podcast
I just had to record while visiting Disney World's most amazing hotels. Listen to the sounds, imagine the sights, and relive the magic of what is truly the crown jewel of the Walt Disney World Resort. The sounds of music, animals, cast members, and all the smells just came rushing back as I was editing this one. It's very short, but I hope it brings you fond memories. Jambo!

Backstage at Universal and Magic Golden Tickets
The Light Em And Hide Theme park Podcast
Universal Team Members aren't as well-known as their counterparts over at Disney World for guest service. In recent years, we have really had some out of this world experiences with Team Members at Universal Studios Orlando. This episode is a quick story about what a senior Team Leader did out of the blue at my family's second favorite attraction. You can love both places, and there are Cast Members and Team Members at each place that will go above and beyond to make your day better. Enjoy some back stage tales and brush your alien hair.

Live from Disney's Wilderness Lodge, Magic Kingdom and more
The Light Em And Hide Theme park Podcast
Just a quick hello from a few locations as I relaxed in the sun and enjoyed the blessings of a beautiful day at some of my favorite places. Enjoy, and if you can afford it, buy at Copper Creek. I was shocked and someday I would like to have a piece of that peace.

Which guest will win the great stink-off?
The Light Em And Hide Theme park Podcast
Greetings from ground zero of The GREAT STINK OFF. A tongue in cheek at the Run Disney and Halloween Horror Nights events which are going on today here in Orlando Florida. Who is the most ripe? the guests who just ran 10 kilometers in the Florida heat, or the folks in all black HHN garb that have been sweating all day in the hopes of being first in line for Holiday decorations are up at the Walt Disney World. Holiday merchandise featuring Earl the Squirrel is on sale and available at the Islands of Adventure annual pass-holder lounge. Congratulations to all the runners/walkers out there....
