  • My joy listen each week

    Do I live in NY? Yes. Am I born and raised Californian constantly trying to get my Disney fix? Also yes. A few years back I did a massive Disney-Podcast-Search and listened to COUNTLESS. This was the best of all of them hands down and the only one that stuck. I’ve listened every week for years! I also visit family in Meridian often and salute the library every time we drive by. Xoxo

  • My Top Disney Podcast

    I absolutely love this podcast! I listen every week and it makes me so excited to plan our trip instead of overwhelmed! These two girls are so fun and I love whenever we find ourselves in the “weeds” because it makes me feel like I’m hanging out with them. Also feels like we have a bunch of fun inside jokes and I’ve never met them in person! It’s great! This podcast is such a treat to listen to! Definitely give it a listen if you love cute friends and all things Disney!

  • Authentic, Helpful, & Fun!

    I get to take my kiddos to Disneyland for the first time and since I grew up going annually with my family, I have been dreaming about this trip with my kids for years! This podcast has been so helpful at covering all of the most important Disney info and answering all of my Disney questions. I’ve listened to a lot of other Disney podcasts but this is by far my favorite!

  • Can’t stop listening!

    Hi gals! I started listening last year when planning our first rip to Disneyland with our grown sons who live in LA. I learned so much and our trip was truly magical and stress free. Fast forward to being back in Boston almost a year later and I can’t wait for the Monday podcast drop each week! And I’m not even planning a trip right now! I love listening to Katie and Erin for their take on Disney, of course, but also on life. It’s comforting, it’s fun, and I always take away a small nugget.... more

    Recently found this while planning a Disneyland trip and can’t stop listening. I am taking ALL the notes. Thank you for the help. Would love an episode about the different shows, which are worth it and how to incorporate into the day (sorry if you have done that and I haven’t found it yet)

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