We got two of the biggest local names in hospitality journalism together to share their experiences from the media preview of Diagon Alley and Hogwarts Express.

Nick Hotel is a massive resort. With 24 acres, 777 suites and half a million guest per year this resort sits in its own category.
We were recently invited to come and stay at Nick Hotel. While on our mini-staycation we had a party in the room with a few other bloggers and recorded a special segment for Orlando Tourism Report. Shelly from On the Go in the MCO and Teresa from Making It All Work plus CFLTop5’s Jen Vargas join Kyle and Ken for an in-depth discussion.
Then after our stay Ken and Kyle are joined by the rest of the OTR crew for some final thoughts on the hotel.

OTR – SideChat 1 – To Go Where No Ride Has Gone Before
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
With any conversation that features numerous people sometimes parts of the conversation don’t make the final cut for the show. Instead of forever losing those (hopefully) interesting tangents we decided to post smaller, bite size podcasts to keep you going between our larger episodes. Here is our first one. We wanted to call it random tangents but we also wanted to have at least a few of you listen to it so instead we went with the name SideChat. Hope you enjoy.

Show Notes
- Kyle leads a conversation on Star Trek coming (back) to Universal Studios, Godzilla and Nick get in on the action, then we ended it with hopes for some Japanese zombies moving in.
