Love this podcast!

Love the shorter more focused episodes. Super informative- with opposing opinions and perspectives which is super helpful since each family dynamic is different. We are going in a few weeks and it’s so refreshing to get a current beat on what’s happening in the parks.

Thank you ladies! Excited to hear more

HM422 ,

Fun and informative podcast!

These ladies are so relatable and have a wealth of information and tips. As someone who hasn’t been to Disneyland in almost 15 years, I’ve learned so much! Listening to this podcast makes me even more excited for my upcoming trip!
