    Hi Dan and Leslie! I am a new Disney adult, as my husband’s family has recently converted me. However, I am the one to get everyone in the family hooked on your podcast. I look forward to your podcasts each week, and they help me kick off the day with a little Disney magic. My favorite podcasts are when you rank various topics. Also, my husband and I love your kitty! She looks so much like ours. You two are the best Disney podcasters, I feel like I personally know you two. Love ya!

  • They’ve changed…

    I’ve been a dedicated listener for years and have listened to every episode. Over the last few months, the tone of this podcast has changed immensely. It has gone from humble to braggadocios. It has also gone from overwhelmingly positive things to say about Disney to primarily negative. Leslie is trying to keep the ship on course, finding some positive things in each situation. Dan needs to stop complaining about EVERYTHING!
