A weekly podcast hosted by a Disney-loving Brit and former Disney Cast Member, who has moved to the US. Now living in North Carolina, enjoy solo and guest episodes that highlight the differences of living in the US for Adam, and learn from guests who are from all over. This is a fun show with quizzes each episode, Disney/Universal stories, and plenty of dry humor!
10 - with Mum and Dad - comparing their lives in England, what they think of NC, and two quizzes!
Episode 10 is an extremely special one. My Mum and Dad visited me in North Carolina, and we took some time from the trip to talk about their lives in England, what they think of NC, and a lot of discussion about the level of service they received on their flight over to see me!
My Mum and Dad are extremely well travelled, especially around the US, so even those on this side of the pond might learn something new! We also, of course, chat about Disney and what it was like going with our group of 4 adults and 4 kids over to Florida from the UK.
Today’s quizzes are to see which American words/phrases they can translate into British English, and hear how they do in a Disney World quiz.
