DisneyBecs ,

Thank you for all you do!

Hi Dan and Leslie! Thank you so much for this podcast and all of the content you bring us. There are so many podcasts and YouTube channels about Disney out there but ATTM is the best. You’re so much fun to listen to and every episode is fun and helpful. I grew up with Disney World as a huge part of my childhood and have such a special place in my heart for the parks. You guys help me feel like I’m home in WDW even when I can’t be there in person. I have always wanted to be a Travel Agent specializing in Disney and your podcast has inspired me to follow my dream. I hope to see you in the parks someday so I can thank you in person. But until then, THANK YOU. You keep the magic alive!

I feel like family

I have never spoken to Dan and Leslie in real life but while listening to their podcast and watching their YouTube videos they make you feel like family.

I first started watching their YouTube videos on dining reviews about two years ago and always found them to be easy to watch and fun to listen to while also very informative. Not realizing at the time Dan and Leslie also had a podcast, I then went to find a loving Disney podcast to listen to on my drive to and from work. Once I had found them on Spotify (I only came to iTunes to write the review) I immediately fell in love and went back to listen to additional podcasts from their channel I hadn’t heard before. Now my favorite YouTube channel and podcast are theirs.

Dan and Leslie make you feel like they are in the room having a conversation with you. It seems any question you may have gets answered before the podcast is over. While listening to them you can feel the love they share with each other and their incredible love of Disney and Universal matches my energy and I love it. I enjoy listening to them each and every week and when I am caught up will go back and replay older ones I hadn’t heard in a while.

I admire their move to be closer to the Disney bubble and feel as though I could only dream to maybe do the same one day. I hope to someday become a part of the Fantastical Vacations family and share my obsessive love for planning Disney and Universal vacations with so many others who want to love it too!
