  • Best Disney Podcast Out There!

    I can’t believe I’ve never given Unlocking the Magic a 5-star review. I’m actually embarrassed that it took this long! I’m a former Disney hater who has full turncoat into a Disney fanatic thanks to Bruce and Connie and their perspective on all things Disney. If you want the best of Disney history, how to do Disney in the best way for a family, and a practical and easy message to apply, you’re in the right place. No gimmicks, no fluff, just great content. Easy listen, and very fun! Thanks Bruce ... more

  • Keeping the magic alive

    I just started listening to Connie and Bruce and love being brought back to all things Disney. Connie has peaked my interest in all things Walt and the exceptional history behind Disney and the parks. Being an introvert who loves Disney, I truly appreciate the honest and hilarious feedback Bruce brings. Thank you for creating a fun and “real” podcast about the joys of all things Disney and more!!
