    Highly recommend. Joe & Leslie are great at giving us Disney info from a broad range of experiences at a variety of Disney venues. I love how personal & real their episodes are.

    These hosts are straight to the point with Disney tips, no extra chit chat about their personal lives, which is refreshing compared to other podcasts. Their tips are great too, very well founded.
