Customer Reviews
The best!
This is the best podcast hands down. You can get a lot of tips and tricks for going to the parks, but also learn about Disney. I love how Connie gets nostalgic and personal and always adds so much depth to whatever she is talking about. Bruce gives you the low down on doing Disney as an introvert, which I very much relate to. I thought I would stop listening after my Disney trip, but this couple has me hooked!
A Great Listen
Just finished a 7 day trip to Disney that took months of planning where I listened to this podcast along with others. Their food reviews really came into play, and appreciate the light heartedness of the shows. It was really overwhelming at times and they helped remind me that “this was suppose to be fun”.
Fun
Very good and approachable podcast. The husband thinks he’s funnier than he really is but it’s still very enjoyable. Thanks!
