Get ready, theme park fanatics! On this special episode of the Pain and Panicked Trip Planning Podcast, your favorite hosts Haley and Owen are diving deep into the magic (and potential mayhem!) of Universal's brand-new Epic Universe! The Grand Opening is just around the here, but Haley got an exclusive sneak peek during the highly anticipated preview weekend.

Join us as Haley spills ALL the tea on her first impressions of the new lands, the groundbreaking attractions, the food, the atmosphere, and everything in between. Was it pure epicness, or were there some panicked moments in the planning? Owen will be asking the burning questions you want answers to, from ride queues to character interactions, and we'll discuss what this means for your future Universal Orlando Resort trips. Don't plan your Epic Universe adventure without listening to this!

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because Haley and Owen are diving headfirst into the deliciously dark side of Disney! In this week's episode of the Pain and Panicked Trip Planning Podcast, forget FastPasses and dining reservations – we're ranking our Top 10 Disney Villains!

Prepare for passionate debates, questionable justifications, and maybe even a little bit of childhood trauma resurfacing as we pit our favorite baddies against each other. Will Maleficent's iconic evil reign supreme? Can Scar's treachery claw its way to the top? And where do Ursula's catchy tunes land her on the list?

Join us as we dissect their motivations, their henchmen (shoutout to Pain and Panic!), and of course, their unforgettable villain songs. Whether you love to hate them or secretly kind of admire their dedication to chaos, you won't want to miss Haley and Owen's hilariously opinionated countdown of the most magnificent Disney villains.

So grab your poison apple and get ready to disagree with everything we say – it's going to be a wickedly good time!
