  • Just makes me so happy

    I just spent the day listening to this podcast for hours while I redecorated my daughter’s room and it was such a good day I thought I should leave my first ever podcast review. These two lovely babes just make me so happy. I would listen even if it wasn’t Disney based, it’s just a bonus that it is!

  • So GOOD!

    This show is amazing. I’ve been a Disney fan pretty much my whole life, but didn’t get to go to the parks until 2019 on our first trip to Disneyland and ever since we have been converted to the church of Disney. I listen to a lot of Disney podcast, but this one hits different. These ladies make you feel right at home and like you’re talking about the parks with friends they have great insights and a positive vibe. I love the Idaho news too! Keep up the good work. I look forward to your episodes ... more

  • My weekly Disney hit

    I discovered Erin and Katie when I was researching how to use lightening lanes several years ago, and I haven’t been able to stop listening. It’s like a weekly Disney book club with a little news, a little trip recap or planning help, and just a place to talk Disney (and their personal lives which is just as enjoyable). They are my favorite Disney podcast out there- always cheerful and sunny offering expert advice without making it overwhelming.

  • The long overdue review!

    Erin and Katie are incredibly knowledgeable about Disney and cover such a wonderful variety of fun and helpful topics. As both a Disney vacation planner and a Disney adult, I love how much useful information I get from every episode—and how much fun it is to geek out with them about all things Disneyland!

    They’re each hilarious in their own way, and their personalities play so perfectly off one another. Listening genuinely feels like spending time with friends you wish you knew in real life.

257. Former Disneyland Cast Member Secrets!
Q: What backstage moment most affected your view of the Disney illusion?

Q: What is the most unhinged thing a guest did to try to get special treatment?
