Amazing

If you are a Disney fan then you would love this podcast. Really good love everyone in it, the best podcast out there. If you need advice about the parks this is the podcast to go to! I’m so glad I found this, couldn’t live without it 😄😉
Also I’ve got a theory. You know Jane from Peter Pan, and the Jane from Tarzan... could I be the same person, they look the same and Peter Pan came out in 1953 and Tarzan came out in 1999, so she would be about the right age. What do you think? Please could you share on your podcast?? 🙃😋
