  • Yikes

    This is actually my first set review ever. I love listening to Disney travel pods as I am an enthusiast and love to visit as many locations as possible. Admittedly I have only listened to the Aulani episodes as I am heading there in 2026…so maybe it was an off day but…this husband very clearly hates his wife. It was painful to hear. To be fair she does correct him a lot but yikes…he was extremely hard on her and seems to hate everything about her. So tough to listen to

    Been listening to this Podcast for quite awhile & I stand by what I said previously, it is like pulling the Sword out of The Stone; it’s so magical & exciting.

Living in Michigan, I can’t go to Disney as often as I’d like, but listening to this Podcast gives me the dose of Disney Magic that I need. Listening to Emily & Clayton definitely pulls me out of my depression funks & Emily is the kindest soul and I... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 151: Our Three Year Podiversary - Get to Know Us
Q: What food and ride is overrated at Disneyland?
Dole Whip is considered overrated, and Clayton suggests the Mickey Premium Bar as another option, stating it is not as special despite being Mickey-shaped.
Episode 147: Clayton Watches Atlantis - Part 4
Q: Do you think this movie is better as a 6 to 10 part series on Disney Plus?
Yes, it would give more time for character development and exploration of Atlantis.
Episode 145: Clayton Watches Atlantis - Part 2
Q: Why was the Viking prologue ultimately cut from Atlantis?
The Viking prologue was cut to establish earlier emotional involvement with the Atlanteans, encouraging better audience connection by initially showing their plight rather than just introducing them later in the film.
Episode 145: Clayton Watches Atlantis - Part 2
Q: What is the significance of the Atlantean language in the film?
The Atlantean language is pivotal as it showcases Milo’s linguist skills and serves as a key plot point that allows him to connect deeply with Kida and understand the culture of Atlantis.
Episode 112: Clayton Watches The Fox and the Hound (Part 1)
Q: What do you think the movie The Fox and the Hound is about?
It's about a fox and a hound who become friends despite being told they are enemies.
