About this listen

In this episode of the Where We Roam podcast, hosts John, Dayna, and Shawn dive into the biggest theme park rivalry of the decade: Disney vs. Universal. With Universal's Epic Universe set to redefine the Orlando park experience, the trio explores how Disney is responding—including new 2026 promotions like the kids-eat-free dining plan. They break down travel trends post-COVID, why Disney’s attendance is down, and whether 2026 will be a bounce-back year or another slow season. From Magic Bands to Magic Kingdom, Lightning Lanes to room discounts, it’s a real talk about value, strategy, and what guests can expect as the theme park wars heat up. Plus: hot takes on a potential fifth gate, the future of FastPass, and why some fans are trimming Disney for Epic.

🎟️ Is this the moment Universal pulls ahead? Or will Disney finally course-correct?
