BEST DISNEY PODCAST!

I have listened to many Disney podcasts and always come back to Connie with a C and Bruce here because they are the best! Interesting topics, entertaining commentary, and just so so real. I cannot tell you how many times I have been amazed at the similarities between them and my family and I so enjoy hearing their take on all things Disney World (I skip the Universal and cruise topics). Thanks for being my happy distraction from reality and for giving me hope that maybe some day my husband will also click and become a Disney lover.

Love UTM podcasts

About six months ago I discovered UTM and really enjoy their podcasts. As a fellow New Englander and WDW and Universal Studios enthusiast, they provide a lot of fun and useful information. Connie and Bruce are both great. They always give a pizza themselves to every episode. Would highly recommend.

As someone also from MA….

I love this podcast. You two are my favorite Disney podcasters. As someone also from MA who struggles to clean up my harsh accent sometimes, i would LOVE to hear a full MA accent episode lol. My favorite thing when listening is when I hear it slip a little and you go back to correct it. So relatable lol. Also, same as Konstantina, I’m Kasey (Kay-see) with a K and I always have to correct it. Love you guys!
