Customer Reviews
The three Caballeros
This show is pretty much the The three Caballeros attraction, with a Disney news section. Trevor and Tom hold down the production, while Damon wanders around making his own good time. Occasionally Damon goes missing, and just like on the attraction, the guys wonder where he went haha
Real people not “influencers”
Tom, Trevor, and Damon are real people who go to Disney each year. They aren’t local to Orlando. They aren’t trying to become YouTube millionaires and they have real jobs. They don’t have to “create content” to keep food on the table. All of this makes this one of the best Disney podcasts. The guys are relatable and their experience of Disney is like most of us. They aren’t there every day. They need to make the most of precious time and spend their own hard-earned money, so you can trust that they are giving honest opinions. Keep up the great work, guys!
Not a Damon burner acct!
Usually listen on Spotify and have rated there, but since we can’t write reviews there I’m writing one here. Listened to the latest episode and just wanted to echo the positive reviews and give kudos to the team. In a universe where the majority of the DVC content is sponsored and people feel beholden or even shill for their sponsors, I’m glad that Damon freely expresses opinions (whether they are popular ones or not). I look forward to listening to new episodes every Monday morning, although I could do without all the food talk (again I promise this is not a Damon burner account!).
