Customer Reviews
Accessible Content for Beginners & Experts Alike!
I’m knowledgeable in points and miles, but not so knowledgeable on Disney, so I started listening to this podcast to figure out how to apply points & miles to a Disney & Universal vacation! Sam and Kim strike a great balance between Disney info & points & miles info so a Disney newbie like me can still get so many good tips including basics on what to bring for a park day, how Genie+ works, and what rides to check out! Thanks for making such a great and accessible podcast!
I found my people!
I’m so glad I came across this podcast! I love all things Disney and have been using points to come up with creative ways to make more Disney trips! Love the content and I’m going back and listening to all the old episodes too! Thanks for all you do! -Carrie @travelhackfamvacay
My top Disney/points podcast!
If you are looking to save $$ going to Disney (or any vacation) this is the best podcast out there. It's easy to connect with them as they both have awesome insta accounts with relevant and fun content!! I've messaged with them both and Kim got my husband and I started with our Chase points journey last month.
The dialogue between the two of them is kind. The information is relevant and informative. Plus I enjoy the humor that sometimes gets thrown in there if you listen.
10/10 recommended!
