·1 hr 6 min·4 clips

The Paddlefish "scuba heist" is called the craziest Disney Springs story in 18 years.

1. The WDW News Today Podcast - without News Today episode focuses on Tom's return, a long catch-up, and a travel-heavy recap across the UK and Europe. 2. The hosts are Tom and his co-hosts on WDW News Today, with Charlie mentioned as the concept-art contributor who paused the Magic Kingdom redesign series after having a baby. 3. The episode asks what Tom saw, ate, and thought on a trip that covered London, Norway, the Efteling, Brussels, and Disneyland Paris. 4. The opening stretch covers UK candy bars, including Terry's Chocolate Orange, Bounty, Maltesers, Galaxy, Milky Way, Snickers, Twix, and Cadbury Dairy Milk bars. 5. Tom says Terry's Chocolate Orange is "orange oil" and chocolate and rates it "a seven out of seven" after tasting a wedge. 6. The hosts compare British and American chocolate, with Tom saying America's chocolate is worse because it "put a bunch of garbage in it." 7. Tom describes a birthday party for Boxo, a one-year-old tiger, and says the cake had goat milk, meat, and ice layers. 8. He says his dog Poppy reacts strongly to animals on TV, especially tigers in a National Geographic program. 9. Tom recounts Disney Supper Club at Dahlia and Toledo, where Bianca from the Wigs community was serving and Joe Rohde was sitting nearby. 10. He says Joe Rohde was three to four feet away behind a wall while Disney fans at the event were not initially aware he was there. 11. The conversation moves through Swan and Dolphin's Food and Wine Classic, the View at Swan Reserve, and a wedding reception attended by Disney bartenders. 12. Tom names several restaurants he has not tried yet, including GECO, Victoria and Albert's, Citrico's, Monsieur Paul, Shigisai, Takumi-Tei, and Rosa Mexicana. 13. He and the hosts discuss secret menus at Cake Bake Shop, Yak and Yeti, Disney Springs, and drinks with accessories like the Duck Duck Razz at T-Rex Cafe. 14. Tom outlines the itinerary: Heathrow, a private car to Southampton, Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, a seven-night Disney cruise to Norway, then Eurostar, Brussels, the Efteling, and Disneyland Paris. 15. He says Norway was "the most unbelievably beautiful thing" he has ever seen and says Brussels was "the most beautiful city" he has seen architecturally. 16. Tom says the Efteling felt "life-changing" and explains that the hotel's owl mascot is called You Who How Do, with Mr. Sandman appearing at night. 17. The tone is conversational and loose, with food tasting, travel stories, Disney park opinions, and side jokes about accents and family phone calls. 18. The format is a free-form catch-up rather than a structured interview, with the hosts interrupting each other and moving from candy to parks to vlogs. 19. Listeners who like Disney travel stories and park commentary. 20. Listeners wanting a tightly focused topic or short-form guide.
