Join us for episode 272 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast. We thought we'd do something a bit different this week and talk about a trip that Ryan has just booked to Walt Disney World with his wife and child. If (and it's a big if) the trip goes ahead, Piper-Rey will be 14 months when she first arrives in Walt Disney World. On the show this week we chat through all of the different things that he's had to consider as part of the booking process and naturally talk about the pandemic and whether we think the trip will even happen. We also discover that with no shows at Disney's Hollywood Studios, it has to be one of the worst theme parks in the world for young children to visit...

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.

Join us for episode 262 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast.
