Episode Description
With Epic Universe opening up at Universal Orlando this summer, Leslie and Joe discuss whether you should visit Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, or both this summer. We discuss what’s coming to Epic Universe and what Disney is doing to try to attract visitors this summer. Plus - we compare vacation pricing between the two resorts for this July (2025) - the results surprised us!
