This episode of Disney Hour Express brings you a spoiler-light review of Pixar’s new film Elio, including its emotional tone, pacing, and whether it’s worth watching on Disney+. We also cover the latest Walt Disney World news from Jollywood Nights 2025, where guests can catch the new Little Mermaid musical and Disney Villains Unfairly Ever After shows. At EPCOT, fans will notice a nostalgic World of Motion tribute on Test Track 3.0, and over at Universal Orlando, demolition permits hint at big changes coming to the Lost Continent with rumors of Zelda or Wicked taking its place.

Our kids join the conversation with their favorite Disney trip moments, from the Boo-to-You Parade to first-time thrills on Tower of Terror and Space Mountain, plus a lighthearted churro debate. Abbie and Rob also share planning insights to help families decide what’s worth prioritizing and what can be skipped during crowded events.

We wrap with exciting news: Disney Hour Express is expanding with live streaming on YouTube, giving listeners a chance to interact in real time. Perfect for anyone searching Disney World news, Pixar Elio reviews, Jollywood Nights tips, or Universal Orlando updates.
