  • The best Disney podcast

    The show is so good. She clearly listens to the guests. That is NOT true of other Disney podcasts where it feels like the “host” hits record and disappears. This feels like a real conversation with friends about a Disney trip and I love that.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Andrea's at Frozen Land Opening in Disneyland Paris
Q: Were Premier Access passes worth it on opening day?
In practice, many attractions were walk-ons and the passes turned out to be unnecessary for the day, though one might still find value in certain scenarios or during peak times if planning tightly around specific rides.
Andrea's at Frozen Land Opening in Disneyland Paris
Q: Why did you end up booking a hotel package instead of just buying tickets?
The package provided guaranteed tickets and ensured a smoother experience with on-site perks, including luggage handling and easier access to park days, which was especially valuable on a trip that mixed multiple cities and a brand-new land.
Andrea's at Frozen Land Opening in Disneyland Paris
Q: Tell us where you were going on this trip and what made it special.
We were traveling to Europe, including London and Paris, with a special emphasis on a first-time visit to Disneyland Paris and timing it with the opening of the World of Frozen land, which added a unique opening-day energy to the itinerary.
BEST DAY EVER: My VIP Tour Meetup
Q: What made you want to try a second time?
I am an eternal optimist. I felt if I could get the right group of people to go, it would be amazing.
Margaux's Holiday at Disney World
Q: So what advice would you give if I'm planning my very first holiday over at Disney World?
Go into it with the understanding that it is going to be really crowded and plan ahead for restaurants and rides.
