| 0:00.0 | Over the next three episodes, we bring you another UUOP documentary as we look at Universal Orlando through the eyes of Disney World fans. |
| 0:07.5 | You are listening to Episode 404 of the unofficial Universal Orlando podcast. Hey everyone, welcome to the show, I'm your host Lee. Now, a few years ago, I took a look at what it means to be a universal Orlando fan and how it has and does affect the guests that I had on those three |
| 0:38.1 | episodes everyday lives. I invited 16 guests onto the podcast to talk about their memories, |
| 0:44.0 | visits, the impact Universal Orlando's had on them and much, much more. So please go back and |
| 0:49.2 | give them a listen. They're awesome. They really are. And that is episodes 226, 227 and 228. |
| 0:56.8 | But now on to this project that I've actually been trying to pull the trigger on for |
| 0:59.6 | a few years, but now we're in lockdown, now's the perfect time to do it. |
| 1:03.2 | So we're going to look on the flip side of that. |
| 1:06.9 | There are many people that don't see Universal Orlando quite like we do. |
| 1:15.1 | So I decided to reach out to some people in the Walt Disney World Media Circle to get their opinion on Universal Orlando and its comparisons and impact on the Walt Disney World Resort, |
| 1:20.9 | how it is and how it can be a serious competitor to the mouse in the future, |
| 1:26.1 | and how the balance is swinging over to Universal |
| 1:28.5 | or isn't. So, first, I will let my six guests introduce themselves. Hello, everybody. So my |
| 1:36.1 | name is Maria Roboli. I am a former podcaster. I used to have a podcast called Unleash the Magic |
| 1:42.4 | that was about a lot of Disney, but we also talked about |
| 1:46.2 | Universal as well. I'm an actress and a director. I'm also a photographer and a videographer, |
| 1:51.8 | and I lived in New York for over 20 years. I'm originally from Italy. I don't know if you can |
| 1:59.0 | pick up a little accent there. But I'm currently in Italy. I don't know if you can pick up a little accent there. |
| 2:08.0 | But I'm currently in Orlando. I moved to Orlando a couple of years ago because I open my acting studio that I have in New York City here in Orlando as well. And so I moved to Orlando right |
| 2:13.4 | now. That's where I am. Hi, I am Mike Collins. I'm one of the co-hostoradio.com. |
| 2:18.8 | We're a podcast all about theme parks and thrill rides. |
| 2:22.1 | We started back in 2005, so it's our 15-year anniversary this year. |
