  • Fav Disney Podcast!

    This is my favorite Disney podcast by far. Daniele is very knowledgeable and is able to share her information in a clear, very understandable way. I started listening when I planning my WDW vacation last year and I come back weekly to feel small doses of magic as I need it. 5 stars!!

  • From WDW Rookie to Pro

    Just got home from our Disney World trip and had to say thank you, Daniele! As a Disneyland girl, I was feeling really nervous about our WDW trip because everything seemed so different and overwhelming at first. I think I listened to every episode of Mountains of Magic to prepare, and it absolutely paid off. We had such an amazing trip, and I truly felt like a pro navigating the parks thanks to all your helpful tips and tricks. Your advice made planning so much easier and helped us make the most... more

  • Delightful help!

    I stumbled upon Daniele’s show by accident when I heard someone else mention it while leaving their review for a different podcast that was being read on the show. And I’m so glad I did! I’m returning to Disney for the first time in 20 years with my three-year-old daughter, and my husband, who is also a first timer. I’ve been trying to plan the perfect first trip for both of them and hate wading through hours of tangents and filler on other shows to get to the real info. Daniele gets straight to... more

  • Pure Perfection!

    As a fellow Disney Travel Agent and all lover of all things Disney, I have found myself listening to various Disney podcasts and vlogs/blogs over the years. Hands down, Daniele’s podcast “shorts” are my favorite. I thought I knew hacks until I started listening to her!!! They are short, sweet and to the point without filler! Keep up the good work! °O° ~ kristin
