On this episode of **Remy’s Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast**, the crew is fully assembled with **Remy, Mike, Ryan, and Doc**, and there’s a lot to break down—from major Disney leadership news to personal updates and some classic theme park deep dives.
Right out of the gate, the Roundtable dives into the biggest headline in the industry: **Josh D’Amaro stepping into the CEO role for The Walt Disney Company**. The crew discusses what this could mean for the future of the parks, the direction of Disney as a whole, and whether this move signals a new era of creativity, guest experience, or big business changes. Expect opinions, speculation, and some classic Roundtable debate as everyone weighs in on what D’Amaro brings to the table.
Remy also opens things up on the personal side this week, sharing that he’ll be making a special appearance on a friend’s podcast—talking shop, theme parks, and everything in between. On top of that, he gives an update on his recent **interview with Universal**, and the crew reacts in real time as they talk through the possibilities of what’s next for him. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the hustle, the grind, and chasing opportunities in the theme park world.
During the **Latest Theme Park Updates**, there’s some solid news for Disney fans looking to save money. Annual Passholders can score **up to 40% off select Disney Resort hotels** on property through July. The team breaks down what this deal means, who benefits the most, and whether it’s actually worth booking a staycation or extended trip.
Then it’s time for **Ride of the Week**, where Remy takes the crew over to **Frontierland at Magic Kingdom** to shine a spotlight on a true classic that often gets overlooked: **The Country Bear Jamboree**. This attraction might not have the longest wait times, but it’s packed with Disney history, animatronic charm, and old-school Imagineering magic. The crew talks about why it deserves more respect, fun memories from the show, and whether it still holds up for today’s audiences.
To wrap things up, **Mike’s Munchies** heads back to **EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival**—but this time, the focus shifts to the **World Showcase**. Mike takes Remy and Ryan on a food journey around the lagoon, sampling festival favorites and breaking down flavors, value, and portion sizes. And in true Mike fashion, he doesn’t hold back—dropping **$70** during the experience. Was it worth it? You’ll have to listen to find out.
It’s a packed episode full of news, laughs, food, and theme park passion—so sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode.
