Description
In the 307th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave grab their CEO badges again - after taking the reigns Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Disney Springs, now they look down the interstate to the other parks - Universal Orlando.
First, a little catching up with prepping for a Disney trip and knocking out a final Disney 5K, then news with lots of refurbishment windows for the Railroad and Art of Animation, 2027–2028 Skyliner downtime to note on your planning calendars, dwindling Halloween party tickets, the new flat-rate resort shipping policy, and the upcoming Hurly Burly lounge on the BoardWalk.
Then, what we would do if were in charge.
We address the transportation needs - and why a monorail ain't gonna happen, nor will the two parts of land ever connect. Our disdain for 3D rides, dynamic pricing spikes, and what to put in the expansion areas at Epic Universe - plus Legend of Zelda! Express Passes! The return of the Jaws ride! A massive arcade! And more!
