IT’S TIME TO GO BACK… LIVE!
Set your time coordinates for a very special WDWNT live program this Wednesday, October 21st, 2015, as we celebrate the WDW News Today podcast’s most popular segment, Back to the Future’s 30th anniversary, and the date Doc Brown and Marty traveled to in the classic film series all in one unforgettable evening. We may not be flying around in cars, racing around on hoverboards, or wearing power laces, but we do live in pretty exciting time in the “Theme Park Wars”. Celebrating the studio that is home to the BTTF franchise, we are going to take an incredible journey over 90 year history of the battle between Universal Studios and the Walt Disney Company that was waged mostly on the theme park battlefield. From JAWS vs. Splash Mountain, to Back to the Future: The Ride vs. Star Tours, to even Harry Potter vs. AVATAR, we’ll take you through the storied rivalry decade by decade as only we can.
So don’t miss “WDWNT’s Back to the Future LIVE: The History of Disney vs. Universal” at 9PM EST on Wednesday, October 21st, 2015, only at (“WHERE TOM, WHERE?”) Listen.WDWNT.com!
