This week we are joined by Jon to chat everything about Universal Orlando. We really loved recording this show and Jon brought a huge wealth of knowledge with him thanks to his many years of staying onsite and being a Universal Orlando Annual Passholder.
We cover some of the key things you need to know about staying onsite and have the age-old discussion, should you be staying at Disney or Universal?
Please do go and give Jon a follow over on Twitter.

This week we are visiting one of our favourite attractions, Spaceship Earth!
After Disney announced a new projection show would be coming to the ride as part of Walt Disney Worlds 50th anniversary celebrations, we thought it would be fun to see what Google reviewers thought of the attraction. Of course, the only way to do that would be to read the worst reviews!

Join us for episode 262 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast.
We are back in Walt Disney World this week and doing a tour of Disney's Hollywood Studios to decide on which dining location is the best in the entire theme park.
Every location goes into a random generator so there is no way of us knowing which two locations will go up against each other!
This is an interesting episode and we spent far longer talking about the locations than we thought we would!

Join us for episode 258 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast.
Let's be honest, this week has been a long time coming. We talk through all of the cutbacks that Disney has made to staying onsite at Walt Disney World over the last 12-18 months and discuss whether it's worth giving Disney your money anymore.
We cover everything from parking charges to the Disney Dining Plan and the recent announcement that Disney's Magical Express will be ending in 2022.

This week we thought it would be good to give Disney a bit of a break from our bad reviews treatment so we're heading over to Universal Orlando and finding out what negatives one of the best hotels on the property has. Spoilers, some of the guests are a bit nuts...
