Welcome back to another fun-filled episode of Remy’s Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast! This week, the Roundtable kicks things off with some mouthwatering talk as Remy asks Jen and Mike to share their favorite spots to grab a cheeseburger in Florida. From sit-down restaurants inside the theme parks to hidden local gems, the crew swaps stories about juicy patties, melty cheese, and those can’t-miss toppings. They even dive into which fast food chains serve up the best quick cheeseburger fix when the craving hits. It’s the perfect way to get hungry before jumping into all the theme park action!
After the foodie fun, Remy covers The Latest Theme Park Updates with some major news from Walt Disney World. Over at Magic Kingdom, fans of the beloved classic Carousel of Progress will soon experience something truly special — the attraction is set to feature a brand-new Walt Disney animatronic at the very beginning of the ride. This exciting update will give guests a chance to see Walt himself welcome them into his timeless vision of progress, blending nostalgia with innovation in true Disney fashion. And if that wasn’t enough, Cinderella Castle is preparing to roll back the clock with a stunning refresh: the park has announced that the castle will return to its classic blue and gray color scheme, a look longtime Disney fans will remember fondly from decades past.
The updates continue with some bittersweet news out of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The Roundtable discusses the official closure announcement for the beloved but sometimes controversial attraction, DINOSAUR. After thrilling guests since 1998 with its time-traveling jeep ride back to the prehistoric age, the attraction will roar for the last time on February 1, 2026. That gives fans just over a year to make their final journey into the late Cretaceous era. The crew reflects on the ride’s legacy, its unique thrills, and what its closure could mean for the future of Dinoland U.S.A.
Next, it’s time for another delicious edition of Mike’s Munchies, where Mike takes the Roundtable to Summer House on the Lake at Disney Springs. Known for its bright, airy atmosphere and California-inspired menu, this spot offers everything from refreshing cocktails to indulgent desserts. Mike builds a full dining experience — an appetizer, entrée, drink, and dessert — and by the time the check arrives, the grand total rings up to $116 for one person. The Roundtable debates whether the price tag matches the experience, and Mike shares his take on whether Summer House should be added to your must-visit Disney Springs dining list.
Then, buckle up for this week’s Ride of the Week, as Remy shines a spotlight on Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Remy dives deep into the history of this high-speed indoor coaster, from its groundbreaking launch system that propels guests from 0 to 60 mph in just a few seconds, to the ride’s unique partnership with legendary rock band Aerosmith. He shares Imagineering details, fun facts, and why this ride remains a fan-favorite after more than two decades. Remy also talks about his own recent visit to Hollywood Studios, where, during his day off around 5:20 p.m., a thunderstorm rolled in and shut down nearly every attraction in the park — a classic Florida theme park experience that locals and visitors alike can relate to!
From burgers and dining adventures to theme park history and future updates, this episode of Remy’s Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast is packed with everything fans love about the Florida parks. Whether you’re a Disney diehard, a coaster junkie, or just someone who loves discovering great eats in and around Orlando, this episode has something for you.
