CommuniCore Hall at EPCOT, CineSational at Universal Orlando, special Father's Day guest and more!

Happy Father's Day everyone! In this week's episode, Nick is joined by his best friend, the infamous Hunter for a special Father's Day hang! Hunter is joining us from The Happiest Podcast on Earth, a podcast full of Disney fun where Nick and Hunter first met as cohosts. He is also the guy from the Disneyland trip with the cool car rental. This episode is a longer one as there is so much theme park news to cover from the last week! CommuniCore Hall and Plaza have opened at EPCOT in Walt Disney World and Nick is here to share his thoughts and experiences with the space. Nick also breaks down breaking news from the week pertaining to the opening of Country Bear Jamboree, the closing of the Shootin Arcade, and the last day of Test Track as we know it. After we cover the Walt Disney World news, Nick discusses his experience at the media event for Universal Orlando and his thoughts on experiencing all of the exciting new offerings that Universal debuted this week. From the incredible CineSational at Universal Studios Florida, to the fun new Hogwarts Always show in Hogsmeade, Universal Orlando is off to an incredible start with their summer. Finally, Nick and Hunter respond to listener "This or That" questions with a fun Father's Day twist. As always, thank you for tracking with us!

Thanks for giving me something to listen to during my walk! I just watched Inside Out 2, and LOVED it too, Nick!!! So relatable as a parent with anxiety and a teenaged daughter!

[@jeanharrison722]

[@tfat9848]

Obviously I love Tim, but also love getting a perspective from someone who does not t live at the theme park. I wish I could go more often!

[@jessf_2001]

I'm going to see inside out 2 in a couple of weeks for my birthday. I can't wait. Loin King was my favorite movie as a kid. I listen to the sound track on cassette tape every night for the entire summer.

I don't even know Hunter aside from what I've seen on this vlog, but I'm leaning towards Slytherin 🐍

Never heard your other podcast but you guys were great together today! ❤️ Hunter: my parents are the primary DVC members and I used to have the same gripe about the lounges! (I think it was to prevent teens from bringing guests and crowding the lounge.) But I believe it has changed since then! Now that DVC has the digital IDs I get in as an “associate member” by just showing the card on my phone. 👍🏻

[@gregbrand8128]

I really enjoyed watching the History Channel documentary about how Disney was a pioneer in so many areas (animation,film etc).

[@kellyvdm]

[@susanp4998]

Waaiiit a minute! I thought Tim was Nick's best friend?! LOL (jk)

[@jocelynmyers]

Introverts and the last 2 generations prefer texts over calling. doesn't mean that everyone feels that way but seems to be the norm.

[@mrp835]

Welcome Hunter! I enjoyed the camaraderie between you both. Tim is absent so often I say replace him with Hunter 😊

[@seandaniel8647]

Disney used to be at the top when it comes to creativity. Now they build jail cafeterias.

[@EPiche09]

Of course Tim took two weeks off his own podcast.

[@u2tuf]
