  • Great Podcast

    Mike and the team are one of my go-to listens. I especially like the cruise content although I know it’s a parks-centered show. These shows are great prep for upcoming trips.

  • Used to love this show

    I used to listen to this show as soon as a new episode was posted. I rarely listen anymore. Every time I try, the intro just wears me out. It’s a shame because I used to learn so much for my trips and have used their travel agency multiple times. Today the intro was 10 minutes 30 seconds. Then you get so little actual content. Then the content just misses. I preferred it when it was just Pam, Mike, and Rikki. Rikki can be a struggle for me but I could still listen then.

    Many people from the midwest go to Disney world. I think you have to get out of the basement more. St Louis is not a small city. Go out and see it! Who knew he was from Missouri. Got old. Good bye.

    How can Mike not know how to tell someone that wants to go for two weeks how they can use their ticket every other day on their trip. He said they wouldn’t get enough days on a 7 day ticket. Sure if they buy it separate. Buy a package and the ticket usage will span any 7 days of their resort stay. Ge... more

  • Fantastic show!

    Love this show - been listening since the beginning, nearly two decades ago. Awesome group that brings a dose of Disney and joy to every week. But team, we’ve got to figure out who is always hitting their mic and typing in the background! 😂
