As there’s over 30 booths this year (with more to be announced!), this episode is split up into two parts. If you’re an avid foodie like us, you’re doing to love this episode.

It’s that time of the year again when our favourite event in Orlando descends at Walt Disney World’s Epcot, the International Food & Wine Festival. Whilst we’re not on the ground, we’ve been drooling away at the menus for this year’s festival, and in this episode, we’re diving into the new eats that we’d love to try. As expected, there were too many menus for us to talk about, so this episode...

It’s been a hot minute since we sat down and recorded together and wow, does it feel good to be back!? At the time of this recording, Amelia was based in Los Angeles, meanwhile Gabriella was holding down the fort in the UK. To say the least, syncing up times for a recording has been a bit of a nightmare! BUT, we’re making it work because we simply love speaking out into the pod-verse. In this epis...

This week we’ve got another solo episode with Gabriella as she covers her experience of travelling to Walt Disney World in 2019 with a 9-month-old! The experience isn’t one that we ever thought we’d do after the assumption that taking a little one to the World was the last thing you’d want to do. But alas, as always, we found a way to make it work when a spontaneous decision to head to Orlando was...

In this episode, our Gabbi is flying solo as she takes you through her experience working at Walt Disney World for the Disney College Program. It’s been 10 years since she flew over for the summer of a lifetime, and she’s going to be talking all on: How she joined the Disney College Program The (unexpected) role she was assigned for the program Why she finished the program early What she would do...

It’s true. It can be done. In this episode, we are ranking the lands in Disney’s Magic Kingdom from our most-loved to least-loved. Before you listen, please be aware that this is not a definitive ranking, and even we found ourselves at times wishing we had chosen differently! But, it was fun discussing old memories attached to each land in this historical and fantastical park, and we hope that you...

Yes guys, we did an episode on our dream date in Walt Disney World. That said, if you’ve followed us from the start, you’ll know that fantasising about outings with our ~non-existant~ significant others is kind of something we tend to do. In all seriousness, this was a really fun episode to record which had us take you through our ideal things to do, places to be, food to eat when heading on a dat...

Have you ever walked past a cast member and thought, “dang, I’d love to do that”. In today’s episode, Gabbi and Papa Bux are chatting about the three jobs that they would love to have in the World! From taking care of your trip to taking care of the animals on property, shimmying to the stage and being a part of the immersive dining experiences… We’re covering it all! Have a listen, then share wit...

As Millie has jetted off to Costa Rica, we thought we’d switch out her seat this week and invite Papa Bux into the mix to join in with today’s episode. Leading on from our last conversation, Gabbi and Papa Bux are chatting all about his top five favourite things to do/eat/see/experience in Orlando! He was so excited to get in on this chat, and you’re gonna love his choices. Have a listen, then sha...

It’s been one year since we started The DUO Podcast and we can’t quite believe it. We decided to do this show as a way to help us get through the stress of the pandemic, by reminding ourselves that there were brighter days ahead. Since then, we have had thousands of listens, built a lovely community on social media, and made some awesome friends out of it. Whether you’ve listened to us since the s...

Oh yeah, we made an episode about Disney Transportation, and we are PROOOUUDD of it! We’ve been visiting the World since 2004, and have watched the many magical forms of transportation evolve and expand over the years, and in this episode, we’re ranking our most loved to least loved ways to get around Walt Disney World. In this conversation, we mention travelling by foot, bus, monorail, boat and S...

Ok so, the sun is out in the UK and that can only mean one thing – Disney daydreaming vibes are in full swing. At this time of year, we usually crank up the Epcot Master Mix (search for that on YouTube!) to set the mood and transport us to World Showcase whilst we work in the day, and help us to wind down in the evening. It had us thinking and chatting about World Showcase with a focus on ranking...

This episode is inspired by a recent conversation on the Best & Worst podcast, where The DIS team spoke on all the things they didn't appreciate enough in Walt Disney World before the pandemic. For this discussion, we reflected on the simple delights, unique features, and experiential moments that they wish they'd given more love and attention to both before the pandemic and back to their earl...

Relax? In Walt Disney World? Yes, it really is possible. Here’s an episode to listen to when you need a lil kickback. We recorded this when we were feeling particularly frazzled with life and wanted to remember more peaceful times. We’re taking you inside the theme parks, around our fave Disney resorts, and over to some chilled snacking spots where we love to sit and take it all in. Let us know wh...

It’s true, we haven’t done EVERYTHING, but that’s all the more reason to go back! In this episode, we’re talking about all the rides and attractions we are yet to ride across Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando. … And, P.S., they’re not all the ones you’d think! Let us know which rides and attractions are on your list of yet-to-be-experienced and the ones on ours that had you shocked! You can...

So our prime minister announces that things may finally be getting back to normal… and we get a little over-excited and start thinking about shopping. In today’s episode, we’re gonna be talking about our much-loved shopping spots in Orlando! Between the both of us, we’re totally different shoppers; Amelia prefers a quieter, slower pace, whereas Gabbi is a real unit when it comes to hunting down th...

An episode not about Disney? Let’s be honest, it was long overdue! Today we’re talking all about the restaurants in Orlando that we have at the top of our list of new places to try when we head back to our second home. From Universal eats to I-Drive streets, there’s so much variety of goodness that we cannot wait to tuck into for the first time. This was such a fun episode to record and a word of...

We continue our “Disney park snack series” by heading over to Amelia’s favourite spot, Epcot! We’re used to eating so much during the food festivals in this park, and thought we might struggle for ideas for this one, but once we got going… There was no stopping us! Have a listen to see if your much-loved treat is mentioned and if not, let us know what we just have to eat! You'll find us on  I...

In this episode, we’re gonna be shutting down the common assumptions you’re likely to hear (or maybe think!) about Walt Disney World vacations. We definitely think this will work out as a two-parter as there are so many WDW myths to bust! In the meantime, let us know yours via our Instagram @the.duopodcast, Twitter @TheDUOPO or Facebook @theduopo! Thanks and enjoy the show!

There are those special songs that immediately transport you back to the Happiest Place On Earth, no matter where in the world you are. In this episode, we’re talking about our favourite ones – FYI: they’re not all that you think! Listen in to hear if you can spot the tracks we love to hear inside Disney’s Animal Kingdom with more than a few background favourites… If you haven’t heard our Magic Ki...

It’s a new year and a new episode of The DUO Podcast! We can’t believe it’s been nearly a year since we launched this show after the world was hit with the pandemic. But you know what? This podcast is definitely one of the best things to come out of the year for us, so we stand grateful for it and for you, our lovely listeners, every day. In this episode, we’re taking you through our plans for a 2...

It’s Christmastime and we have got an episode that’s not gonna keep you dwelling on the fact you’re not in Walt Disney World, but motivate you to find ways to bring this festive magic into your own home. Ya know we love food and recreating our fave Disney dishes at home. So, in today’s episode, we’re talking about all the food we’re going to be cooking over Christmas, in the hopes we can somewhat...
