Average Dis Nerd

Sup Nerds?   It has.... been a minute to say the least. I foolishly attempted to avoid discussing COVID, but I now realize that was a mistake.    Importantly, I also wanted to return to the show to discuss the senseless murder of George Floyd and countless other black lives. Black. Lives. Matter. I have not done as much as I can as an ally, and I apologize for that. In the future, I aim to be better. I aim to have more diverse voices join the show, and I aim to discuss issues that affect black voices in this community.    I want to continue to improve, so if you have feedback please e-mail me at averagedisnerd@gmail.com     Enjoy the show.       Links & Show Notes Thread on Black Voices in the Theme Park Community   Disney Reservation System in place until 2021   Carlye’s Tweet about lack of WDW info   Wine Bar George Fries   Follow Me Average Dis Nerd on Twitter Average Dis Nerd on Instagram Average Dis Nerd on Facebook Any feedback?

Sup Nerds?   The world is kind of.... a mess right now. I’m sure you have all been keeping an eye on the news just as much as I have, and I think we all need a bit of a distraction from it all.    To do that, I invited my good friend Joe from Parkscope.net to come on the show. We briefly discuss the current situation with Coronavirus & park closures, but a majority of the show is A discussion about Avengers Campus & the Disney potentially moving towards more virtual queues.    Links & Show Notes That Darn Marvel Contract   Carlye Wisel’s Report on Avengers Campus   Carlye’s Report on Avengers Food   Follow Me Average Dis Nerd on Twitter Average Dis Nerd on Instagram Average Dis Nerd on Facebook Any feedback?

Sup Nerds?   If you haven’t noticed, Universal Orlando is developing a brand new theme park just down the road from their current resort. Titled Epic Universe, the new park is going to be an innovative addition to the Orlando Theme Park Landscape. While we don’t have many official details yet, I wanted to try to read some tea leaves to look into the future of the park.  To do that, I thought of one person. She gets some of the best scoops in the game, so I knew she’d have some details about the new park. Joining me from OrlandoParkStop.com the one and only, Alicia Stella.    Links & Show Notes   Epic Universe Speculation at ParkStop Site Plans for Universal Monsters Site Plans for How to Train Your Dragon Site Plans for Super Nintendo World Mario Kart Scene Descriptions Potential Donkey Kong Coaster Testing Follow Alicia on Twitter Follow Me Average Dis Nerd on Twitter Average Dis Nerd on Instagram Average Dis Nerd on Facebook Any feedback?

Sup Nerds?   So you can probably tell by the length that this episode is not a full episode. I just wanted to take a moment to tell you about my new YouTube channel!

It was an educational conversation for me, and I hope it will be for you too.

Sup Nerds? April is Autism Awareness month, so I wanted to bring on someone that could help teach myself and my guests a bit about Autism and what it’s like to visit Disney with someone diagnosed with Autism. To do that, I invited my good friend and Registered Behavior Technician Elle onto the show. After a brief intro about Mizner’s Lounge, we discuss Autism, what it’s like for people with Autism to visit Walt Disney World, the accommodations that Disney offers to those families, and how you can be a good neighbor to those guests.
