One of the best Disney podcasts out there

Being the huge Disney Parks fan that I am, I really have enjoyed this podcast. I feel like they keep things entertaining, while providing useful and interesting information to help me get my Disney fix. I can’t physically go to Disney every week, but at least I I can listen to these guys!!

I got lost in the magic! Entertaining!

I enjoy listening to this podcast and getting lost in the magic of Disney as I clean or organize my house, drive in the car, or go for a run. These guys are funny and full of good tidbits! I can’t wait to hear them share all the details on the Disney food.

These guys just get it

These guys’ energy brings alive the Disney magic we all have felt. I finished the 1st episode asking myself why it’s been so long since I’ve been to the parks. Very cool podcast. Looking forward to future episodes.

A new Disney podcast that hits you in the feels

I always like finding new Disney podcasts, so when I discovered this one, I gave it a listen. Most of the Disney podcasts out there follow a similar pattern, and I was encouraged to hear these guys go in a little different direction. I could tell that they are passionate about Disney. All in all, it was an entertaining first episode. I look forward to listening to these guys in the future!!
