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!

John, Claire and Ben share a Waffle, a laugh, a bag of Pear Drops and so much more with the English enigma that is ThemeParkBazza!

We share his journey from the UK to the USA and his recent move to Orlando, this is a must listen show, for anyone who has that dream of moving to the sunshine state, or indeed for those of us who just dream!

Bazza, has set YouTube alight with his humour through his vlogs from the parks and his DIY handy hints and tips videos that are superb (even telling us about recent  advice from his own Mum!) He is also joined by his wife to review some food places in Orlando too- take note Gordon Ramsay!

We had such a great Waffle taking us from Blackpool to Orlando and back again, this is a show that really will put a smile on your face.

Barry proved to be a superb guest – in Claire’s words “ So dead normal !!l” he faced our Carousel of Questions and told us about his dinner party plans. He also shared so much advice about the things you look for if you are planning to buy property in the Orlando area, plus a great reminder about fireworks at Magic Kingdom too!

Welcome to the August 2021 episode of The Great British Mickey Waffle.

This month Peter takes the chair.  He is joined by Ben, Becca, Gill, John, Sammie and our overseas correspondent Claire. Peter has chosen a signature restaurant, a show that is not that summer like, and a well loved attraction for his Come Disney with Me. How well will he score?

With the 50th anniversary of WDW on the horizon, John leads the whole team in a discussion of the news coming out of the Parks, and From Golden Statues to new shows there is plenty to talk about.

This very special bonus episode of the Great British Mickey Waffle rounds off our amazing month of Marvel!

Claire, Ben and Becca were so excited to be able to have the opportunity to “Share a Waffle” with none other than Kate Herron, director of the recently concluded season 1 of the Marvel Disney + Series: Loki.

Kate had lots to tell us about her experiences shooting Loki.We discussed her favourite scene to create, what it was like being part of the MCU, and the incredible opportunity to work with the best SFX team in the business.

We also had the chance to probe a little into the clever Easter eggs left around the show, how B15 was originally written as a male role, and also what it feels like for her to be handing the show across to a different director for Season 2 and whatever mischief it will bring.

We even discussed Mobius and his Jet Ski!

We are so grateful to Kate for spending her time chatting to us, joining us in geeking out about Loki and Marvel, and even pondering the concept of Alligator Loki perhaps appearing in a parade one day… stranger things have happened!

We hope you enjoy this extra special episode- so far this has been a highlight of our podcast journey!
