USCTIn this episode of the US City Traveler Podcast, you get to meet Robert Niles, who you may remember from our interview last year. Robert is a former Walt Disney World cast member and the founder and editor of Theme Park Insider, a consumers’ guide to the world’s most popular theme and amusement parks. It’s been named the top theme park site on the internet by Forbes and Travel + Leisure magazines and it has been featured in the New York Times, ABC’s Good Morning America, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Readers Digest.
