  • DISNEY DENTISTS ROLLCALL

    Doug, you will be happy to know that my husband and I are both Disney dentists from SC that listen to the show! Your show gives us that boost of Disney magic in between our trips. Listening to the show is something we can do together and has sparked topics of conversation for our date nights and car rides….It definitely beats talking about the best ways to restore Class IIs or how to hit the IAN more predictably, which normally consumes our week night conversations. Thank you Doug and Lauren for... more

    I’m also a parent of 3, all college age now. We were lucky enough to do a lot of Disney trips as they grew up, though they are much less frequent now. Your stories spark great memories, especial... more

  • Me and my husband love this podcast!!

    Me and my husband have been listening to this podcast nonstop while moving in to our new house. We found it before we left for our honeymoon to Disney in May and have two more trips planned for November for thanksgiving and February for my birthday and this has been so helpful and extremely entertaining (and hilarious) to listen to. Keep up the good work and thank you for all the time you put in.

  • Review from another Disney Dentist

    We typically go to DL since based in Boise but we got an annual pass to WDW this year and binged this podcast and enjoyed all the topics covered and perfect length for my commute.
