from Where We Roam Podcast · host whereweroam

Universal’s Epic Universe is officially raising the stakes—and Disney is responding with a massive $10 billion investment across its parks. But is it enough? In this episode of Where We Roam, we break down the growing battle between Disney and Universal, including what’s coming to Walt Disney World through 2030, how Epic Universe is already changing the game, and why this feels like a full-blown theme park arms race. We also dive into the latest Disney news, including the release of 2027 bookings, what it means for pricing and availability, and key updates like potential changes to perks, dining plans, and bounceback offers. From new lands like Encanto and Monsters Inc. to long-term projects like Villains Land, we’re analyzing what excites us, what concerns us, and whether Disney is moving fast enough to keep up. If you’re planning a future Disney or Universal trip—or just love theme park strategy—this is a must-listen.
