Join us as we talk about our recent adults-only trip to Florida and how different it felt from past visits. This time, we weren’t rushing from place to place or trying to do everything—we actually slowed down and enjoyed the trip. We break down what it was like being at Disney during the holiday season, the festive atmosphere, and the moments that reminded us why we love going back. We also get into our time at Universal, our excitement around Epic Universe, and how fun it was experiencing the parks without feeling tied to a strict schedule. One of the biggest differences on this trip was not staying on property, so we share our honest thoughts on what that was really like at both Disney and Universal—the good, the bad, and what surprised us. From park days to downtime, food, and relaxing moments, this episode is all about doing Florida a little differently and finding a balance that actually worked for us.

The debate every theme park fan loves is back! Join us as we dive headfirst into Disney vs. Universal and compare what each resort does best… and where they fall short. We talk park atmosphere, headliner attractions, thrill rides, storytelling and immersion, food and snacks, value for the money, and who each park is really best for—families with little kids, adults, or couples looking for the perfect getaway. From iconic Disney magic to Universal’s high-energy thrills, we break it all down with plenty of opinions, laughs, and a little friendly chaos along the way. Did we plan to follow a debate bracket? Yes. Did we stick to it? Not exactly—but that just made the conversation more fun and honest. By the end, we ask the big question: if you had to choose just one park to visit forever, which one would it be? Grab your snacks, jump into the debate with us, and let us know where you land—Team Disney or Team Universal.
