Tracking After Dark in the DVC Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness

In this week’s episode, Nick and Tim are coming at you yet again from the Fort Wilderness Campgrounds, but this time in one of the new DVC cabins. Tim discusses their check in day and initial thoughts on the cabin. Nick and Tim both discuss their experiences and thoughts on the brand new Country Bear Musical Jamboree after attending a special media event with Disney Parks. They also share fun Hi Dad Soup moments from the week, including Oliver’s first haircut at the Magic Kingdom. The schedule for D23 The Ultimate Fan Event has officially been released and the guys are here to break it down. Finally, another house was announced for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando and Tim shares his thoughts. There may or may not be a cameo from a special guest in the background as well. Was this our first live studio audience? Thank you for tracking with us!

I made a trip to Orlando and just stayed at a universal resort and went to their parks for a few days; I enjoyed it more than my Disney stays

[@caitlynskiff2001]

WAIT! Imagine a meet and greet during Jollywood Nights outside muppet vision with Gonzo and Rizzo in their Christmas Carol costumes. That would be amazing.

[@jamies1217]

Bluey in the parks would be so amazing! Happy Birthday Ethan and Luke!! 🎉🥳

[@SoxCat123]

Good for Nick having his son help him with the yard work even though the kid didn't want to at first. Don't give in to the child and be the parent.

[@Tati_ab]

"I'll have an 8 year old tomorrow, that's disgusting" just wait till you figure out he graduates in 2034 that'll mess you up

[@mystikhrs476]

I grew up in Southern California and OMG the strawberries you can buy off the side of the road 🤤🤤 so tasty!

[@michellecarson8841]

So true Nick on the strawberries being awesome in California. I love Ventura!! I am originally from Thousand Oaks, CA and would go to Ventura all the time!!

[@RyRySoup]

“The Climb” is a Miley Cyrus song made just for the Hannah Montana movie to be the single.

[@caitlynskiff2001]

Also, happy late birthdays, Luke and Ethan!

[@alej8902]

Happy Birthday Ethan and Lucas! 🥳🎂🎉🥳🎂🎉

[@jomama8479]

I am cracking up at Tim not knowing Home on the Range or Hannah Montana stuff. 😂 It makes sense because of the target audience for both things, but still cracks me up so much!😂

[@bizburgess1947]

Best Birthday Wishes to Ethan and Lucas!!🥳🥳

[@lindseysoutherland217]

This almost feels like an ASMR episode 😴

[@amandap8936]

I agree! They both are using lower, quieter voices and it sounds so nice!

[@michelleburkman1651]

Happy Birthday Ethan and Luke!!🥳🎉

[@tiffanyann9763]

Another Monday Podcast! Excited to see the new cabins and hear about them. I love being able to go to the theme parks all the time, but miss the on property stays since getting a place so close to Disney. Enjoy your stay! ❤❤❤

[@yourideordie]

Very much a Nick when it comes to HHN..also not into it! I literally have to fast forward cause scary things just aren’t for me 🙃😂🥲 but thanks for posting guys!! Even with all the distractions glad we have a pod! Hopefully you guys can work it out with no distractions I can understand how it can be over stimulating I would very much be as well 🙂 MANIFESTING HANNAH MONTANA FOR D23!!!!!

[@erikameise6135]

What did Tim say his family was featured in when they were talking about Country Bears? I replayed it 3 times and heard “Orlando Panda” all three times.

[@lisaschap]

Orlando Sentinel maybe

[@erikameise6135]

That’s what I was trying to hear but all I heard was panda.

[@PoodleandTheCoodles]

I was wondering this too, came to the comments section to see if anyone knew 😅

[@sdcraig]

For C3PO's arm, you need to take a look at the comic The Phantom Limb (the arm belonged to another protocol droid, 0-MR1).

[@chitchatpaddiwack5638]

Yes, Nick! We have wonderful strawberries!🍓 Ventura County.

[@BostonRho]

I’m with Tim but that’s such a Nick thing going on a mission trip in California 😂❤ Love you two are whispering so you don’t wake the kids 😊

[@LauraCrawford-cc3pn]

Michigan strawberries /June - Michigan blueberries and cherries/July - August /watermelon and veggies- Autumn/corn, peaches, peppers, grapes and most importantly apples!

[@lorimadill9642]

Hello fellow Michigander 🍎🍏🍒

[@PureHangout]

Prodigy. Man, you took me back.

[@trishaspitler9041]

I spied Nick and fam in PMMs Country Bear vlog😊

[@TheChubbyCinderella]

Me too ❤

[@meredithchudy3426]

Yes!! Bring Bluey to the parks!! My kids would go crazy!! So much potential there if they could somehow get it worked out with the owners of it!! Can you imagine a Bluey land? Or coaster? Or the Heeler house? Or a show? So much potential!!

[@neofighter5323]

I love the 10k marathon vid y’all did together

[@jessf_2001]

My son is 8 and I keeping thinking about how he will be driving in 8 years. Crazy how fast they grow up.

[@HauntedMansionGirl]

I live for the bubble!

[@brandyrossi]

No one else here for justice for Miley? She was the original recording artist of The Climb in 2009! 😂

[@JH-et9bf]

We love the country bears movie too!

[@tanyatortorich6861]

And so cool my nanny’s birthday is the 14th and my oldest daughter is 27 on the 15th. Happy birthday to the boys!

[@kristiemoore7741]

I'll have an 8yr old on 24th 3rd grade also. Wow time flies ❤😂😢😊

[@toki303]

A fun thing to do when strawberries are in season (spring) in CA are to go to Tanaka farms in Irvine (just south of Disneyland) and go strawberry picking!

[@BostonRho]

This has all the vibes 🥰😍 Now I have to look for your blog about new cabins ❣️

[@Cinna-mon420]

My favorite podcast

[@eeyore777]

41:20 What if in the line to meet Dark Vader they had you go back I time? Remember when you where in line for Tinkerbell you shrunk? They could make the dark Vader a light years backward….then you walk into the meet and greet.

[@TravelingBlind]

Insidious was its own house, but it was also in a Horrors of Blumhouse house twice, I believe. One of the times it was a scene to promote The Last Key movie coming out.

[@dundonoz]

you'll need to come to Brisbane, Bluey's home town, to go to Bluey's World. Opens Nov2024. Everyone here is so excited 😊

[@tammyknowles1032]

Happy birthday Luke and Ethan I'm hoping for some Green Day and Offspring on the punk album. Also maybe punk rock factory - you should check them out they already do punk rock covers of Disney songs

[@krystallynbermudez1547]

I took my son to blueys big play and it made me wish they had a segment like the old play house junior show

[@michaelahallfilms5450]

LOL yes I got TWO Pixar ball slots two years ago 😂😂😂

[@neofighter5323]

AWESOMENESS ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@alisonl5439]

I listen to you guys on my drive to and from work each week…best part of my week! When I got in the car this afternoon, I forgot Oliver had woken up and Nick was talking all quiet…and my brain was confused, is this Nick after dark? 😂 great show as always!!

[@tanyatortorich6861]

The swifter talk had me lmao Love these podcasts😅

[@ForEverEcsTasY]

Go to the “Strawberry Festival” 🍓 in Oxnard, CA sometime one year! It’s next door to Ventura, CA 😊

[@CraigOConnor5]

"Work calendar invites about HHN/Universal/Disney." Nick, it sounds like you have the best job!! My calendar invites SUCK! haha. Great pod as always guys! 😃❤

[@neofighter5323]

I came up with a horror idea for Its a Small World, The idea is that the ride shuts down and none of the emergency lights come on and when the lights come back on, All the doll’s are gone and they come to life but the dolls escape and get into the park as killer dolls 😂

[@Kellysuper111]

Yes, ice cream!

[@matt_theb]

What’s your favorite Mexican restaurant in Lakeland?? We are trying to find more good Mexican spots around.

[@amandap8936]

Came here to ask the same question - I hope Nick lets us know!

[@amandamerrill326]

Pls go with Nick to the behind the scenes horror nights tour where you see the houses in the daylight!!!

[@realchinhing]

There is a comic, Star Wars Special: C-3PO 1, that explains how C-3PO gets the red arm before Force Awakens.

[@KimMarko-e1x]

Just to comment on Bluey. We wanted this way back when with the Wiggles. Little Einsteins. Over the years it has been so many things for the toddler set. We had Jo Jo's Circus . Disney can't keep up. I completely agree with you. But the preschool set has demanded the attention for a long time. Bluey is just the current. Oh, please do not forget Bear in the Big Blue House.

[@mystikhrs476]

Oh fun!!!

[@dottiller]

Please come to Dollywood! Dollywood Christmas is awesome!

[@dottiller]

Tiny Tim…who did NOT die!!!

[@saraperalta5969]

It's only 3.3 miles with traffic about 15 minutes away from Disney...The Honda Center

[@lindseygauntner2051]

At 29:53 when Tim said “I feel like Disney has to do something big because Universal…” I wanted him to say is doing something epic so bad!

[@kellyhayes6267]

🦅 mayday parade mentioned 🦅 Also as someone born in 1996 how dare you say that was almost 30 years ago it was 27 lol

[@andreahorne4691]

Rush of Fear is the first 18 nights.

[@chantillychandra]

Happy Birthday to Ethan!!!

[@johnnyonmainst]

Star Wars/Lucas Films put the story of how C3P0 got the red arm in a comic book. Star Wars comics are supposed to be pretty good. I read a few that were solid.

[@aprilpfaender3437]

Happy birthday to your kids, Nick!! 🎉🎁🎂🎈

[@marylegasse8892]

no tub!

[@Cutelatinguy2]

Dejarik

[@johnnyonmainst]

Not sure what happened. Since the start of the podcast I had the bell turned on, and today it was not on. Clicked the bell again.

[@Kidlauren15]

Hey Nick the new college game is out play it please

[@traceyhill7784]

I have a 42 year old, now that's disgusting 😂

[@neofighter5323]

Alkaline Trio LMAO 🤣

[@neofighter5323]

I want to see Nick scream at HHN 😂

[@JohnClaireMedia]

Hey Nick and Tim. How can we send a business inquiry your way? We love your content and what you both stand for and would love to collaborate!

[@Amy-yh8kf]

I'm sorry, but we visited Islands of Adventure(with the intention to go to Universal Studios if we liked it) and my then 17 year-olds HATED it! We ended up going to Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom & Magic Kingdom for the rest of our week-long vacation and rested at Saratoga Springs in between park days....we have NOT gone back to any Universal parks again! The rides are mostly TV type 3D rides. The lines were 2-3 hours long! They made me pay extra at the gate even though I bought the tickets on THEIR website for the day that we went! The entire experience was frustrating(to say the least)...the only ride worth it was the Incredible Hulk coaster(in our opinion).

[@EPiche09]

Trash take.

[@WanderingWare]

Y’all make me want to stay at the Fort so bad! Any recs on the best time of the year to stay?

[@sandydisneyfan8355]

When I watched the new Country Bears show all I could think of was that ATW was not going to be happy that they removed the "Blood on the Saddle" song. I am sure there will be a lot of disgruntled people who, if they were truly being honest would admit that they hardly ever sat through Country Bears fot many years, are going to moan and groan about the new show being too PC and too IP specific. I am glad that you both said you enjoyed the new show, and that your children enjoyed it too.

[@EPiche09]

"Ridiculously goooooood" 🫠

[@sophied9387]

I'm coming in on Tim's defense here ! Nick, you can no longer make cracks at Tim for not knowing Hannah Montana or Camp Rock songs if you don't know what Blumhouse is 🫶 😉 all that said with fun and love from an horror fan that will be living her best life in the Insidious house in September 🎉

[@AGIORDANO0929]

I made a trip to Orlando and just stayed at a universal resort and went to their parks for a few days; I enjoyed it more than my Disney stays
