Customer Reviews
Best Tokyo Disney Content!
I love listening to this podcast as I plan for my Tokyo Disneyland trip. I’ve been dreaming about going to Tokyo Disneyland and Sea ever since I was a little girl, and this podcast makes me feel like I can make my dreams come true! Chris and Trish’s commentary about TDR feels authentic and they keep it real when it seems like Disney is slipping up or doing something amazing. Since they are locals I know their advice is current and they keep things fresh. I feel more confident when planning my trip. Love the vibes. Keep up the good work!
Not my fave
I really wanted to like this podcast. Chris is great but his cohost makes it hard to listen. She sounds miserable and dislikes everything. I don’t expect you to love everything but hating everything makes me not want to go to Tokyo Disneyland. Follow Chris on IG and YouTube, he’s great there!
Debbie Downer
After watching the related YouTube video for Fantasy Springs, I was excited to listen to the podcast for more details. The cohost for the show could not be more of a downer. She hasn’t been to the site but kept commenting about how it wasn’t for her. I get that she has opinions but it’s like saying the Godfather movie is terrible even though you’ve never spent time actually watching the movie. She has opinions and I guess I will look for people who actually form ones from experiences not just doing a bit to get ratings and followers.
I think next episode they should invite Jimmy Fallon and Linsey Lohan to recreate the hilarious Debbie Downer skit from Disneyworld.
