    Amazing show and amazing hosts
    Craig and Rhino are GREAT hosts and give honest opinions about the two parks. I listen to all of the Dis podcasts, but this one with just Craig and rhino has to be my favorite. They play well off each other, are always very honest with their reviews and have the funniest comments! I really look forward to listening over the next year for all of their insights into all the new Halloween horror night, updates and offerings and especially all the new information coming out about epic universe. They are usually very accurate with their thoughts and predictions.

    Awesome duo and fun show
    This show is awesome! Craig and Ryno bring a great sense of humor and witty banter that makes for a relaxed and informative experience. I find myself literally laughing out loud to some of what they say and the really play off each other for an all around great time. I am from MA near where Ryno is from and I love the references to places that I can relate to (Edaville, King Richards Fare, etc...) if you are looking for a great Podcast for universal, Craig and Ryno are the best. To really laugh, I slow the podcast speed down a bit and hold on for the hilarious ride. One of the best podcasts out there. Keep up the great work guys!!!

    Great walking podcast
    This version of Dis is great for listening to while I walk. Other shows (Dis Unplugged) are better to watch on YouTube because of added pics and such but this 1 is great to listen to while I walk my dog to stay up to date on Universal.

    Please less Horror Night
    Love you guys but please less Horror Night chatting. It’s a big deal for a few weeks a year yet you talk about it for over 6 months. Are you reading this Pete?

    Getting pumped for my Universal trip!!

    Episode #309
    This episode has forsure been my favorite!! I loved it and y'all did an amazing job explaining everything and your feelings toward all the houses!! Love this podcast so much!!🤍
  • DrikaDerby
    Love this show
    I love this show and your perspectives on what’s going on at any given time. I so miss my AP, and really appreciate being able to follow what’s going on. While I absolutely love your opinions on special events and news, I’d also like to hear some ‘how my day went’ podcasts. I’m sure you don’t do open to close often, but I’d love a monthly or quarterly podcast where you give a “tick tock” of how you visit, what time you arrive and leave, what you ride, what you eat, etc on one specific, normal visit. Especially on those weeks that are light on news! Overall your coverage is stellar, and I appreciate everything you do!
  • charlestonhufflepuff
    My favorite podcast!
    You guys are my absolute favorite podcast. I am an out of state universal season passholder and love the regular doses of the parks. I started listening to the rest of the Disney podcasts as well because of you guys (Disney dining my second favorite). Don’t change anything, keep it up and thank you for what you do!!
  • WDWDinks
    Great show!
    Really enjoy this podcast- it’s had some ups and downs but ryno and craig try to bring a unique perspective and stay up to date on all things Universal. They do a great balance of helping new fans and keeping old fans engaged. Keep up the good work boys!
  • disdad2222
    Holy Crap these guys are good!
    These 2 guys are Gods gift to men and women around the world. If the soothing sultry tones of their voices don’t make you feel like getting your butt off the couch and to a Universal theme park their is no hope for you, and you should jump on Small World till your will to live is gone. What’s truly impressive is the omniscient knowledge of the universal parks that these two share every episode. They are simply : The Best There Is, the Best There Was, the Best There Ever Will Be!!

    The Best Universal Orlando Resort Podcast
    The Universal Edition of the DIS Unplugged is the best Universal Studios centered podcast. Craig and Ryno are the best hosts and are always entertaining. I always pick out a few episodes to listen to while driving down to Orlando for my monthly trip to Universal Studios. Every episode is full of great tips for planning your trip to Universal Studios Orlando. If you are looking for a podcast that covers dining and room reviews or that deep dives into the history of your favorite attractions, the Universal Edition of the DIS Unplugged is the podcast for you.

    Honeymoon
    I haven’t been to Universal since I was 8. My husband and I are heading there this week for the first part of our honeymoon, and this podcast has given us many tips as well as just made us extra excited for the Universal portion of our trip! Thanks so much!
  • DisneyAsh
    Great podcast
    Love everything from The Dis and this podcast is no exception. Love the energy these two have together . Lots of good Universal Info ! Makes me excited for my next trip
  • raleigheelunccarolinajordanfan
    Love the show…but
    1. A little less talk about HHN. I get it, it’s great, but it feels like a constant topic. 2. If you’re going to do a show on rollercoasters, it seems like the people talking should like rollercoasters and not be scared or get sick on them. Ranking RRR or Hulk below woody woodpecker or flight of hippogriff makes the entire thing completely invalid. Just my opinion. I really do appreciate the show. Thanks for what you do.
  • bnukem1176
    Full of Universal information!
    I love listening to Craig and Rhyno . Their podcast is full of useful information on Universal Studios Florida. Absolutely the best Universal podcast
  • cantfindnickname1957
    More Greg and Ryno (less food)
    Love you’re podcast Craig made me think again about universal. Appreciate all you do,
  • WdwRocksMySocks
    Great Way to Get My Fix
    Love listening to your take on what’s happening at Universal Orlando. I’m here forCraig’s dry humor and Ryno’s randomness. Thanks for all the great content!

    Fantastic when it comes to commercial jingles. Fine when it comes to everything else. Ps. It was Expedia.

    Love the Craig and Ryno dynamic. I have listened for years. So glad they are gearing up again and doing a big push to support Universal and have the support of The DIS really behind them now. Love the Disney content, but really love hearing about the Universal parks also. We love visiting both.
  • AlliKat777
    Come for the Universal info, stay for the humor
    This is a must listen-to for anyone that loves Universal as you will hear lots of news, reviews and deep dives into everything about the parks, but what keeps me coming back week after week is the absolutely hilarious banter between Craig and Ryno. After just a few listens, you’ll quickly be in on the inside jokes (Bees?) and rarely a week goes by that I don’t find myself laughing out loud. Truthfully I would listen to these two talk about just about anything.
  • RichRDisneyUniDad
    Great show!!
    I just listened to the Dockside pier 8 market meal review. I always look forward to Craig and Ryno’s candid and honest reviews of all things Universal. This episode was a great example. They always have great info for new visitors to universal and also if you’ve been there dozens of times.
  • Steven4210
    Great content and very informative
    I love this podcast. It is fun to listen to and very informative. Both Craig and Ryno are great hosting this podcast. Can’t wait to hear each episode as it comes available. I am not only learning about what they’re talking about I am also entertained as both are very funny. I love this podcast and highly recommend this podcast if you’re interested in everything Universal Studios Orlando.
  • Skip this 1
    Great Team
    Craig and Ryno are some of the best theme park reviewers. They are former theme park employees and have the knowledge and experience to give a good entertaining review. The whole team helps bring the parks to you and help you plan your trip.
  • markmarenick
    Informative podcast that helped us plan our day in universal
    I Recently had a chance to visit universal Orlando for one day on a business trip to Florida. Using previous episodes as a guide for our must-do’s. The show helped us plan an unforgettable day filled with great experiences. Keep up the great work!
  • suesstrolley
    Universal fun
    I love listening to Craig and Ryno, you two make me smile and I feel like I’m in the parks with you! I’m always amazed at how you both pick up on the little details in the ques and tribute stores that I never see! Thank you for bringing UO to me!
  • Chester1753
    Love this podcast!
    I used to be skeptical about listening to podcast but decided to listen to this one out of whim and loved it! They’re so funny and very helpful when visiting the parks! (Which I try to go at least once a year). After listening to their podcast I finally gave others a try as well but it wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t because of them lol
  • WEEPR
    Love the breakfast review….
    I enjoyed listening to Craig’s breakfast review at Today Cafe. I just ate breakfast there on Memorial Day and thoroughly enjoyed the ham, egg and cheese sandwich on ciabatta roll. Soooo good!! Missed Ryno on this!
  • kimpossible
    Craig & Ryno for the win!
    I’ve been a listener of all the dis shows for years and pretty much anything that Craig and ryno are on I love. this is no exception! I find that I pretty much always agree with their opinions and I love hearing their takes and insights. I don’t go to Universal as much as Disney, so this podcast is always helpful when it’s time for me to plan my next universal visit!
  • Timlando
    Great Show for UO!
    Long time listener to the dis and first time UO annual passholder. Really enjoy the show. Breakfast review for Today Cafe has us planning breakfast in the park in a couple of weeks.
  • Jeff in Farmington, UT
    Awesome show!!
    Craig and Ryno are entertaining hosts who bring their own unique perspectives/opinions which makes the show a lot of fun. I live in Utah and only get to Orlando every 5 years or so. I’m a Disney nerd, but I wanted to better connect to Universal Orlando and this podcast has been perfect. I can’t wait to visit Orlando next year and check out Universal again. I’ve been a longtime Dis Unplugged listener and this show is every bit as good/fun as their others. Thanks for the great entertainment every week!!

    Great pod for when you need your park fix… informative and entertaining
  • ccgilly7
    Good info on universal
    I listen to several WDW podcast so got to this via other DIS ones. I enjoy that they give honest reviews on Universal. I also like that they aren’t too long and they always leave me wanting to return to Universal!
  • Roscoe1027
    Good, Informative, and Funny
    Craig and Ryno are the best. They have great chemistry and the info you need if your visiting Universal. Their predictions of what to expect with upcoming happenings in the parks are usually spot on. So funny too. I listen to a lot of Universal podcasts and this one is by far my favorite.
  • Marymack7
    Excited to find universal version
    I have been listening to the Disney version for several years. We are finally looking at going to Universal now that my youngest can ride most rides. I haven’t been since the 80’s. Listening to this podcast has got me super excited!!! Thanks so much for restarting because we are going in June and I will be contacting Dreams Unlimited soon!!
  • cgbeeks
    Good content but very inconsistent
    I want to say that I do enjoy the podcast for the most part. Unfortunately over the few years the content put out has been decreasing. I don’t really understand this because Universal has been growing rapidly and many new updates are happening. They seem to be at least a week or two behind on any new updates or news most of the time. They always seem to have time to visit Disney and make content about that though.
  • disneydreamers2016
    Love Craig & Ryno!
    I am a hardcore fan of everything under the Dis Unplugged umbrella. This show convinced me to visit Universal in 2017. I don’t know when I’ll be back, but I keep listening for the entertainment value! Keep the great shows coming!
  • Sky hop gal
    v entertaining
    I don’t know how to explain it, but this show being back is really comforting that the world is getting back to normal. I love their friendship and chemistry - makes for great content. Love Ryno & Craig !

    Theme Park Honesty - What the World Needs More Of
    I have been listening to the Dis Unplugged Universal Podcast for a while, in the world of theme park podcasts it constantly seems to be a focus on who can be the biggest sunshine pumper with a focus on the bottom line. Is that really what people want to hear ? Just another Disney Vacation Club infomercial ? For most people taking a trip to Orlando is an expensive endeavor and the goal is to maximize your time and enjoyment. Getting to really understand how to best use your time and resources is invaluable. The honesty (brutal at times) by both Craig and Ryno in their trips to the parks and their reporting on the news and issues surrounding Universal Orlando is what any real fan should WANT to hear to make informed decisions on their next vacation. Not to mention they really are a GREAT listen, great chemistry and fun all around. I don’t know how long you guys are planning on doing this but I hope it is for a long, long time. There are other podcasts out there and most are a bore in comparison. You can tell how much they love the parks and they really care that you, the visitor, have a great time when you come visit. My one request is to please continue making as many live shows from the parks themselves, specifically the food/dining reviews. Absolutely hilarious at times and it really does help you consider what may or may not be worth your hard earned money as you plan out your vacation. Thank you guys for bringing back and continuing the Universal Edition podcast on a weekly basis. It’s made this past year which has been incredibly tough for many a lot better as we all plan out our next trip to the Orlando area. We still haven’t changed the name !

    Best Source of Universal Orlando News I Have Found
    This is my go to podcast for all things Universal Orlando. Craig and Ryno are a great team! They have the latest news and are entertaining hosts.
  • Boogirl7432
    Great Podcast
    I have been listening to the Universal Edition for around three years now and was so happy to hear when it came back in 2021. Listening to Craig and Ryno is a fun way to be entertained and get updates on Universal. I highly recommend this show - even the old episodes from 2015-2017. Also - side note I will always wonder why Oliver suddenly left!
  • Snow White RP
    Great!!!!!!
    Love the podcast you guys are fun and informative. Can’t wait till I actually get to go to the parks after this craziness is done. You guys insights have made me want to visit even more. Thanks and keep up the great job! Tachel

  • Travesty Park
    The Go to Universal podcast
    Craig and Ryno bring so much joy and knowledge about Universal and are always making sure they share there honest opinions about the events occurring in the park year round. My favorite episodes are when they discuss Universals past attractions and park history so hopefully we get more of those type episodes in the future.
  • Babygotbeck
    Great Show
    I have been a fan of The Dis WDW, but had never listened to the Universal show. I am planning my first trip EVER to Universal and your show has been very helpful. Not only are you getting me SO excited for the trip but I am writing down tips and getting a great over view of what to spect and how things operate prior to visiting. Thank you for a great show!
