Numberrrrrr one!!! (I’m not going to indulge in a pun here)….Well if I need to find a restroom on my next visit to Disneyland very soon - I know where to find them!! I always appreciate that Disneyland has a ton of restrooms when nature calls. Usually no lines to wait in either!! Thanks to all the custodians of restrooms everywhere in the Disney Parks. I appreciate you. I actually love the banter between Lynn and Ken, sans guest every now and then. It was a truly fun episode to enjoy.

Lynn and Ken’s easy banter, inside knowledge and love of Disney make this podcast one of my favorites! I’m especially fond of the current events episodes and each of their takes on the articles they share. The Sweep Spot is the best spot! Thanks Lynn and Ken!

Love this podcast. Lynn’s laid back relaxed tone while talking about my fave subject=great time. Talking Disney and Disneyland brings all the fun memories and brings Disney to me when I’m not at the parks. Better than some casts that rattle on about personal stuff Lynn and Laura keep on topic to fill the whole podcast with all Disney memories. Hoping to get the book soon. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
