Episode 107: Transformation Station - All Change at Walt Disney World - March 2024
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.

Customer Reviews
Amazing podcast
Thank you guys for each week transporting me back to the magic and making me laugh! I found the waffle about 6 months ago and love listening to the current and old episodes. An essential podcast for any Disney park fan
DISNEY MICKEY MOUSE MY NUMBER 1 FAVOURITE
HELLO I'M HOLLY
THIS THE GREAT BRITISH MICKEY WAFFLE PODCAST IS FANTASTIC.
Sadly, no waffles
I was looking for a podcast about british waffles and/or mice.
After the initial disappointment of coming up short in my search, I settled for this as I've coincidentally always been a fan of Disney.
Turns out, it's very good indeed.
Highly recommended!
