    It’s also very jolly useful! I’ve picked up loads of tips and information that have helped when planning my own theme park trips. I’m especially loving hearing about the China parks at the moment, as it’s helping me put together an itinerary for next year, hopefully!

  • Fresh perspectives and great information!

    I love the information and opinions of the podcast! A lot of great information and perspective that is fresh and quite valuable! My only hang up with listening is how much they talk over each other…sometimes, I reluctantly have to turn it off because it wears me out to listen to the over talk. If they could get that technical issue sorted out, I would mark the podcast a 5 star!!
