Get ready for adventure, islands of it, man.

From the studios to Volcano Bay.

This is the Universal Joint, a podcast devoted to all things Universal,

with your host Jim Hill and Dustin Foods.

Welcome to the Universal Joint Podcast.

I'm entertainment writer Jim Hill.

I know, I know it's been a while since my co-host Dustin Fuse and I

last did a show, but there's a very good reason for that.

Dustin was down in Orlando earlier this month scoping out the competition.

So what is going on at Disney? What did we see?

Well, it's hot.

Oh, there's a surprise.

Yeah, it was, you know, fairly reasonable with the weather.

It was consistently hot throughout the day, so as soon as you had your shower first thing in the morning,

that shower stuck with you, which was great.

Lots of great food, lots of fun news coming out, not just that with Disney and the

gondolas and Star Wars and everything going on on that side but the

theme park industry down in Florida is just booming right now the conversations

that are being had in public spaces like the

Orlando premium outlets and all the hotels and every people are talking about

everything coming and it was great to hear people going to

universal riding hay grids and not mentioning the lines.
