For our October 2021 Shares a Waffle, we are delighted to be joined by someone who is an actor, a photographer, a Disney fan and someone who is part of the hilarious podcast Accidentally Derivative. 

He is probably even more than that but we are limited to the text space! Welcome to Marcus Vowell, who not only shares his love of Walt Disney World, but also gives us an insight into his first live viewing of HarmonioUS, his Disney dream dining companions and so much more! 

A show filled with some wonderful reflections on the past and a shared Waffle of the place we all love. With John as our host, together with Ben and Claire you can be assured of a deep dive into all things Disney, to share a Waffle with someone who really does share that same passion for the parks that we all do, you can sit back and just take yourself there with us all too. 

You can find Marcus on all his socials @marcus.vowell and his website too www.marcusvowell.com 

Make sure you check out the podcast Accidentally Derivative where Marcus is joined by Jason Canapp to discuss the wonders of Dishwasher Stacking, British TV, Starch Madness and much, much more -it makes for hilarious listening. 

This mid-month Waffle is a show you won’t want to miss a minute. 

Hope you enjoy it and until the next time – Waffle on!

June is the month that keeps on giving here at the Great British Mickey Waffle..

You will find a section of our 5th birthday discussions released weekly simply because the show would have been FAR too long for anyone to enjoy.

Our own personal Disney Experience was one of the areas of discussion that I think should probably come with an official “mascara warning” as there are some emotional topics at play here and as a team we want to send love and positivity to anyone dealing with these themselves.

Welcome to the November episode of The Great British Mickey Waffle - A Positive band of British voices united in all things Disney.   

Gill is at the helm this month as we navigate our way through planning your trip with a little help from your phone and we share our thoughts on what makes a good Firework show.  

Planning a trip can be a bit of a minefield with so many things to think about from booking flights, dining reservations and Genie+.

Our main topic this month is to help you with your planning by sharing our favourite apps which make a trip to Walt Disney World that little bit easier. The apps and websites we cover include:  

• MouseDining 
• Touring Plans 
• My Disney Experience 
• Uber / Lyft 
• Skyscanner  

With Fantasmic due to begin in just a few days time, we thought now is the best time to talk about what makes a good Firework show. 

Is it the sounds and music? Is it the plot or story? Or is it just being with the people you care about at the end of an amazing day in the park?  

We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who listens, watches and interacts with us on all of the platforms you can find us.  

You can find us on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram @GBMickeyWaffle - we love hearing about your trips and we hope we make the gap between your trips to the Mouse that little bit magical.  

If you would like to support us, you can do this in a variety of ways from leaving us a rating and review on your podcast app, sharing the link to our show to your friends and family and we even have our own range of GBMW T-Shirts and merchandise.

Let us know your preferred method when staying in Orlando!  

Next, with all the talk of certain Disney perks seemingly disappearing one by one (Magical Express anyone? We are still in shock), we hypothesise what we would do if the Fastpass system became a costly add on to our trip!

For this festive feast of a Yule-time podcasting treat, we have a visit from Scrooge and the ghosts of Disney Past, Present and Future. Lloyd hosts the show with A Waffle Before Christmas poetically taking us through the ages,  as we discuss some of the highlights of a Christmas in Disney Past- lamenting the passing of some festive favourites, Ben and Becca  share their experiences of Christmas Present and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party 2019 and Epcot Forever. For Christmas in the Future, we put our Imagineering skills to the test and try to find some imaginative additions to the Disney parks.

We also hear Sammie’s answers to our quick-fire carousel of questions. (Just don’t ask about the car parks!!)

As always, we finish the episode by celebrating our listeners upcoming trips, anniversaries and birthdays.

A Merry Christmas to all our listeners and we look forward to more Great British Mickey Waffle in 2020.

You can follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube - @GBMickeyWaffle

In this episode Lloyd takes the reins as we virtually get together for our 1st Birthday party. As the sun rises on the parks once again, we feel a wave of positivity for future visits and all agree it’s the right time to talk about what we miss the most, or in brighter times what we look forward to the most. 

We have the last Carousel of Questions in our quick fire decision series. This time John takes us through his answers. You will all have seen the Guardians of the Galaxy refresh to the Tower of Terror over in Anaheim. Some love the change of theme to what is in essence the same ride. This gets the team thinking about which rides would suit a new theme. Anything is up for grabs, even IPs within the Marvel and Star Wars galaxies. Some of the Wafflers are in the wrong job, imagineering here they come! 

We have the usual ‘Mickey Mentions’. Not so many trip announcements this time, but plenty of birthdays and anniversaries for the team to send a well timed “congratultions” to. We also learn that Lloyd was tricked into filming a cooking show with Peter. That video is now available on our YouTube channel. 

Round three of the, It’s a Disney Knockout competition is another tough one. The Wafflers are forced to choose entertainment and centrepieces for the Birthday Party. Lots of intense thinking and even remorse for some of the selections. Also check out our It’s a Disney Knockout rounds on our social media pages. The team are really interested to see what you would choose.

We'd love to hear from you - whether that's a question or a Mickey Mention.

In this episode of The Great British Mickey Waffle, we get a little carried away with our reminiscences of our Disney 100 segment memories of the 90’s with a reminder of a time when DVD’s and computer games were at the cutting edge of technology with some wonderful recollections of films and games. We also take a seasonal look at Disney Parks at Halloween and compare to some of the rather tepid British attempts to celebrate Halloween- anyone remember trying to carve a turnip? We do! With more giggles than ghouls and with a hilarious than haunting theme we do Halloween in a rather Waffle like way! Hope you can join in the fun.

It’s December 2021 and Claire takes the anchor role this month as Ben and Becca are still getting over the jetlag, Gill is trying to hold down the roof in Wales and John is busy warming his chestnuts by the fire.

Sadly, Peter is a little under the weather so not coming out to play this month.

First of all we hear about the two amazing Disney Park visits that our Wafflers have enjoyed. Ben and Becca made it to Walt Disney World on the very first day of the boarders being open, and not only met up with many friends of the show that we have all made in the last two years, but also made it onto BBC Radio, National TV News and even Disney UK’s own social channels! They will need their own agent soon to manage their own Meet & Greet!

We talk about crowds, resorts, food and also Disney Genie. It sounds like it was an action-packed trip.

Gill and Peter also made a visit to Disneyland Paris last month and whilst some of the Studios park remains under construction for the exciting Marvel Avengers Campus which opens in 2022, they had a lot of fun enjoying the seasonal offerings in our local parks. It wasn’t even too cold!

Next on the schedule of events, the team talk about their favourite festive offerings in the parks over the years. It’s amazing all the different things that we enjoy and how it all builds together to make it the happiest Season ever!

Finally, we all reflect on what a year 2021has been, and think about what is planned in 2022 for everyone.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

The team this month are chatting about something different - a trip to a treasure on the west coast of the USA - San Francisco!

It’s a place that a number of the team have either considered, or even had a trip booked and planned (thanks COVID!), but this seemed to be a great time to review what’s on offer in this diverse and exciting city and the surrounding area.

But of course, we couldn’t have this discussion alone, so we were happy to welcome back friends of the show - Robyn & Simon Watson (@watsonsdodisney) and Jason Canapp from Here With The Magic. 

All of our guests have experience of the area and are all too happy to share their favourite places to visit, sightsee and of course, eat!

This won’t be the only chat we have with these fabulous friends - watch out for future episodes where we explore some slightly more distant places to visit!

Gill wishes us a happy St David’s Day and puts Claire in the hot seat for our newly refreshed Carousel of Questions.

Then we get onto our favourite topic – food!  We share our favourite restaurants, others we can’t wait to try and some we’ll never go back to.  And we talk about how to navigate a World without the Disney Dining Plan.  We’ve also got some tips for first-timers and anyone who might be feeling a bit overwhelmed by all that’s on offer.

Join us for our weekly live show both on Facebook and YouTube every Wednesday at 8.30 pm GMT – we talk about all things Disney, and sometimes other things too!  We also have a couple of specials coming up to chat about Ted Lasso and F1 – so keep an eye on our Facebook community, the Waffler’s Arms where we will share more details very soon.

To continue our celebrations we will be taking a more in-depth look at Disneyland Paris on our weekly live show both on Facebook and YouTube every Wednesday at 8.30pm GMT during April.

Welcome to the Mid-November episode of The Great British Mickey Waffle - A Positive band of British voices united in all things Disney.

Claire has only just returned from the "Most Magical Place on Earth" and we catch up with her, jet-lagged of course, about all the recent updates in the parks and what it was like to have the first family trip to the Mouse since August 2019.

From getting confused about all of the clock changes, trying out new experiences including our favourite attraction - Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, to trying out Walmart with Jason Canapp from Here With The Magic. We're not quite sure how Claire managed to fit everything in just 10 days.

We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who listens, watches and interacts with us on all of the platforms you can find us.

You can find us on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram @GBMickeyWaffle - we love hearing about your trips and we hope we make the gap between your trips to the Mouse that little bit magical.

If you would like to support us, you can do this in a variety of ways from leaving us a rating and review on your podcast app, sharing the link to our show to your friends and family and we even have our own range of GBMW T-Shirts and merchandise.

It’s the middle of July and we are taken on a very special journey into the sounds in the parks - no not the musical sounds but, the ambient sounds that surround us and remind us of special places throughout Walt Disney World.

Join in the fun, as we try to guess  where in the World some recordings were made but even more so, remind yourself of some of the incredible sounds that really do take you to your happy place.

We were joined by Jason Canapp of Here with the Magic, who has a podcast called Soundscapes where these special sounds become part of a binaural listening experience, which take you to so many different places across Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Do try to immerse yourself in some of them and let the magic come to you.

Jason was also given the chance to try our Carousel of Questions with some very interesting responses.

Hope you Enjoy the Show and Waffle On!

Welcome to the October 2022 episode of The Great British Mickey Waffle.

This month we are raising a glass to celebrate the 40th birthday of one of our favourite parks.  Whether you think of it as EPCOT Center, Epcot, or just ‘that park with the big golf ball’, there really is nowhere else like it.

Becca takes us back to the park’s opening on 1 October 1982.  It was very different from Walt’s original vision of the ‘Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow’, but there were already some attractions in place which we still enjoy today.  Any guesses on which ones?  And how did the park change over its first decade?  (Let’s just say the word ‘Horizons’ features strongly!)

Claire moves us on into the 1990s, and meets a certain purple dragon and his friend.  Plus you can find out about a Surprise in the Sky which seems to have had a lasting impact, and also how Epcot marked the millennium with a controversial wand.

Peter picks up the story in 2002 with the introduction of Soarin’ and a drive with some crash test dummies, as well as changes to Figment’s journey.  There are memories of the last days of Innoventions, including the Sum of All Thrills and its giant piggy bank.

Finally, Ben is our guide from 2012 back to the present, with a look back at Agent P’s adventure (sorry if you are now singing the theme tune all day) .We go ‘back, back, over the falls’ to Maelstrom, dine with princesses and talk about food and fireworks.  We end with a look at the park’s newest ride before we raise a toast – and of course cake – to 40 years of a unique and well-loved park.

Don’t forget to subscribe to the show so you can keep up with our wafflings.  You can find everything we do on our website, which has links to our podcast, Facebook community, social media channels and YouTube channel.

Enjoy the show, and Waffle On!

Disney Dining Plan – to do or not to do!!  Sounds simple or sounds daunting, hope we can help!

Claire takes the anchor duties for the first time in quite a while, joined by the whole team of John, Sammie, Gill, Peter, Ben and Becca to continue that discussion from the past few months. Food…. and especially trying to ascertain “Is the DDP EVER really free?”

We recognise that the dining plan isn’t currently an option,but looking forward to planning and booking into 2022 and beyond, we thought it was definitely something worth waffling about to help plan your next trip to WDW.

The food talk will most certainly make you hungry and remind you of those restaurants you really love.

A new feature, brand new for May, we introduce “Come Disney with Me”.

It’s a Wafflers’ take on the classic TV shows similar to Come Dine with Me, where every month, one Waffler will take the opportunity to present 3 things to the GBMW team and ask for their ratings and views!

Once you listen,  join in on our socials to share your thoughts too as this is a fantastic way to share some of the things we know,  love or possibly don’t, throughout Walt Disney World.

As always, we are very busy here at the Great British Mickey Waffle - You can catch us live every week for Wafflers’ Wednesday at 8pm GMT (3pm EDT)  on Facebook and YouTube.

If you want to find us on socials we are @gbmickeywaffle on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

We will be live this month on Friday 21st May for our Wafflers’ Assemble: Live show, so set your reminders now – you don’t want to miss it!

We also have some special guests joining us to Share a Waffle on the 15th May so don’t miss that either.

Our newly revamped monthly live show is on Friday 21st May and the usual Waffle fun continues both via podcast on YouTube too!

Remember, you can also join us for our weekly ‘Wafflers’ Wednesday’ show at 8pm UK time, (3pm Eastern in the USA) - for more Disney filled chat each and every week.

Enjoy the show and until the next time… Waffle on!!

This month, for our Great British Mickey Waffle Mid-month show, the team of Wafflers, led by Claire, made some new friends - or as they like to call their own community - ‘Ohana.

The team of Matt and Krystle from Married to Disney Addict Podcast and community joined us for a chat that, quite frankly, could have kept going for hours and hours and hours!

Claire had joined Matt and Krystle for one of their shows back in December and had a load of fun, so we invited them to join us to waffle about some Disney history, and future.

First of all though, as newcomers to our community we extended the warm and fuzzy hug of welcome, known only as the Carousel of Questions. It’s been a couple of years since this feature was retired - maybe we should bring it back for new guests? Let us know in the comments if you think we should. 

After that we chatted about some classic attractions that have long since hung up their offerings to guests, and whether we as a group believe that what has replaced them is better… or worse? 

Is Frozen Ever After an improvement on Maelstrom? 

Is Toy Story Land a better experience than the classic MGM Studios Backlot Tour? 

Could Creations ever be preferable to Mouse Gear? 

And the one we found the hardest - is Baseline Tap House an adequate replacement for the glory and oasis that was The Writer’s Stop?

We discuss attractions, restaurants, shopping and even some night-time spectaculars and decide if the newer offerings are a step up, or a step down from the previous inhabitants of that space.

It left the team with a very long list that we didn’t get round to covering, so let us know if we didn’t talk about your favourite and perhaps we can discuss it on a future show?!

You can find Married to a Disney Addict at www.marriedtoadisneyaddict.com, and all on all socials @marriedtoadisneyaddict 

We look forward to welcoming Matt and Krystle back for a future episode.

This month, we keep our waffle sharing a little closer to home and have a chat with Claire about her recent and first solo trip to Walt Disney World.  

It’s the first time she has been back to the USA since August 2019 and this was a short trip of only 5 nights at the Gran Destino Tower.   

We are excited to have Jason Canapp of Here With The Magic, and Soundscapes by Here With the Magic join us for this chat. 

Claire and Jason managed to catch up for the first time in person during her trip and they recount tales of wet seat cushions, petrol stations, exploring EPCOT with lots of friends and family along with some truly fabulous food and drink stories.   

Claire talks about what it was like to travel alone, all the things she enjoyed and what’s still left on the list for next trip - there is quite a lot!   

Thanks to Jason for joining the conversation, and we look forward to next time he joins the team.

In this heartwarming episode of The Great British Mickey Waffle, we dive deep into John’s long-awaited return to Orlando after a five-year hiatus.

With 2025 on the horizon, John shares his nostalgic yet exciting experience of stepping back into the parks he’s loved for years. Join us as we walk through his emotional journey, recounting everything from the joy of reuniting with family and friends to the nervousness of wondering if Disney’s magic still held the same power after such a long absence.

Welcome to the mid-month January episode of The GB Mickey Waffle.  

Today we're discussing the magic of Aulani with special guests Simon and Robyn Watson from Watsons Do Disney, and Jason from Here with the Magic.   

Aulani is a beautiful resort located on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. It's a true paradise, with stunning beaches, crystal clear waters, and breathtaking views. But Aulani isn't just a place to relax and soak up the sun. It's also a place where you can experience the magic of Disney in a whole new way.   One of the things that sets Aulani apart is its commitment to cultural immersion. 

The resort is designed to reflect the beauty and traditions of Hawaii, with lush gardens, authentic Hawaiian artwork, and cultural experiences like hula lessons and lei making.  But Aulani also has all the classic Disney touches that we know and love.  There are characters like Mickey and Minnie who make appearances throughout the resort, as well as a kids' club and a pool with a waterslide.   

So why should you visit Aulani? For starters, it's a truly unique vacation destination that offers something for everyone. Whether you're a beach bum, a culture enthusiast, or a die-hard Disney fan, there's something for you at Aulani.   

Additionally, the resort is located on the island of Oahu, which means there's plenty to do and see beyond the resort grounds. From hiking to surfing to visiting Pearl Harbor, there's no shortage of activities to keep you busy.

October 15th has arrived very quickly and as we rush towards the Christmas season, we stop off briefly, to have a chat with Sean Lee about his recent return to Walt Disney World.

Claire is in charge, with her glamorous assistants Ben and John, and true to form, she breaks all the rules by bringing back “for one show only”, the Great British Mickey Waffle Carousel of Questions. 

Sean is subjected to the classic lines of enquiry, which range from snacks to car parks, and of course - the battle of the Animal Kingdom shows. 

We had a great chat with Sean, whom is a regular in the chat on our Wafflers’ Wednesday shows, about his trip to WDW in September, where he stayed in a value resort for the first time; having always previously enjoyed DVC or deluxe resorts. We covered all the essential trip highlights from attractions to food, parks to food, resorts to food… you get the picture! 

Sean also popped up to Universal for the first time ever - join us for the show on Youtube or via your podcast provider of choice to see whether he managed to overcome any anxiety around the coasters and rides and if he enjoyed it as much (or more) than Walt Disney World.

It’s June which means it’s time for another episode in our “GBMW Shares a Waffle” series.

This month Claire, ably assisted by Ben, Becca and John, had the absolute pleasure in chatting with the always chipper, cheery and very interesting Zac Brown.

No, not THAT Zac Brown (the one with the band), but OUR Zac Brown - the one who is a part of many of the Disney communities we love to be part of regularly.

Zac’s own podcast - The Zac Brown Show - has been around for about 18 months and it features him having some really fabulous conversations with a huge variety of guests. Some of the most notable are Trader Brandon (Brandon Kleyla) who was an Imagineer working on Trader Sam’s; musician Corey Jess, and some well known friends of the GBMW - Jason Canapp, Carlos Silva and of course Lou Mongello.

Zac proved to be a superb guest - he faced our Carousel of Questions and told us about his dinner party plans. We talked about our excitement for the new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Coaster and he discussed with us what motivates him about leaving a legacy (not the EPCOT tiny photo version) and why music is so important in his life.

We had so much fun with Zac, and it’s highly likely that he will be back - there was so much more to talk about!

We love it when a guest has more to say than we do (and this is pretty difficult when John is in the team) -  this was definitely one of those shows!

The Zac Brown Show can be found on your podcast provider of choice, and he can be followed on Instagram @thezacbrownshow and @itszacbrown.

In this episode of the Great British Mickey Waffle, we pay tribute to the legendary Disney Imagineer Mary Blair, whose artistic vision profoundly shaped Disney parks and films. Claire leads an exploration of Blair's career, highlighting her significant contributions to projects like "It's a Small World," "Cinderella," and "Alice in Wonderland." We discuss her innovative use of color and style, tracing her journey from MGM Studios to becoming an iconic figure at Disney. The conversation also delves into her iconic mural at Disney's Contemporary Resort and reflects on her resilience as a female artist in a challenging industry. We encourage listeners to appreciate and seek out the artistic details within Disney parks that echo Mary Blair's impact, celebrating her legacy that still resonates today. 🌐 Visit our website: ⁠https://www.gbmickeywaffle.com⁠ 📺 YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/TheGreatBritishMickeyWaffle⁠ 📘 Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/gbmickeywaffle⁠ 📸 Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/gbmickeywaffle⁠ 🧵Threads: https://threads.net/@gbmickeywaffle

We are joined, once again, by our very first guest Jason Canapp of Here with The Magic, Soundscapes and After Hours - for a wonderful insight into Disneyland, The Walt Disney Family Museum and the incredible opportunities that arise living so close to Walt Disney World.

A collective appreciation and shared passion for places we already love and those we know we need to put on the list for the future Disney trips.

Join us, as we lie on the cusp of our own 100 and explore a podcast that is full of laughs, Disney past, Disney present and a whole host of different things for the future too.

It's July 2022 already and at the beginning of the summer season, we enjoy a low-down on Ben and Becca's very recent trip back to WDW.

We consider what has changed since they travelled back in November 2021 and any new experiences they had, including staying at their home resort of Saratoga Springs and also Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction. 

Up for consideration is the recently made available UK offer for dining or merch credit for onsite stays and whether it would tempt our hard and fast off-site fans John and Claire to venture to a WDW hotel stay?

John completes his Carousel of Questions (it could be a long one so get comfortable!) and there is so much to talk about looking forward into our 4th year of GBMW! 

A few announcements about the future show shenanigans are part of this episode, so make sure you listen right until the very end! 

For the latest episode in our ‘Shares a Waffle’ series we are joined by Michael Tatsch, of ‘Mike and Kathy’s Videos’.  

John, Gill and Peter welcome him to share a waffle and face our Carousel of Questions.  

We also discuss some of the great times that he and his wife Kathy have enjoyed at WDW, as well as their method of travelling to the magic, which will be a new one for us Brits! 

You can find videos of their trips on their YouTube channel Mike and Kathy’s Videos and get in touch with Michael on Facebook @MichaelTatsch A video of their very special 1912-style photo session can be seen at: https://youtu.be/fd2yaDI2gOs  

Whether you are listening for the first time, or are a regular listener to The Great British Mickey Waffle, you can get in touch with us by email, waffleon@gbmickeywaffle.com or via Facebook, Instagram or Twitter @GBMickeyWaffle.  

You can also join us in our Facebook Community where we welcome you to The Wafflers Arms.  Check out our website at www.gbmickeywaffle.com Our next monthly live show is on Friday 16th July and the usual Waffle fun continues both via podcast on YouTube too!  

Remember, you can also join us for our weekly ‘Wafflers’ Wednesday’ show at 8pm UK time, (3pm Eastern in the USA) - for more Disney filled chat every week.  

Enjoy the show and until the next time… 

Waffle on!!

For our May middle of the month show, John plays host as we chat with Carina and Lee from C&L Wandering.  

First they tackle our Carousel of Questions, and then we hear about some of their favourite moments from trips to Anaheim, Orlando and Paris, as well as their upcoming journey back to Walt Disney World. It's amazing to hear so many people are heading back since the borders reopened last November.

They also share some of their UK adventures, including their work with ‘Camelot Rises’ which is definitely for those who like their fun on the scary side. In true Waffle style, we end with a fantastic chat about food and in particular the food availability for Gluten free dining and how that impacts dining planning and your holiday.  

You can check out their wanderings on their YouTube channel www.youtube.com/c/CLWandering If you want more from The GB Mickey Waffle, you can find us on all the usual socials @GBMickeyWaffle, and do pop into our Facebook community The Wafflers’ Arms for a natter.
