Customer Reviews
Must listen Podcast for all things theme parks!
Ashley is an expert and Allison is fabulous as always. If you haven’t been to the Central Florida parks since the pandemic began or if you just visited yesterday, this podcast is essential for staying up to date on The Attractions. I hope they do longer episodes in the future but the episodes so far have been a perfect length to turn on while going to/from work and getting the whole thing in before arriving!
