  • My god.

    Good anecdotal info at times, but the over-hyped, gushy-happy-girl cutesy informercial presentation style is BRUTAL. It's just too much. Also imo approaching inauthentic; not sure if I'm supposed to believe she's just riffing off the cuff but clearly she's written every superfluous verbal somersault before hand, probably with notes in the margin of how to read it.

    Another well off "influencer"

  • Love this podcast!

    I feel like Carlye is a friend even though I’ve not met her! I was listening to the favorite Disney restaurants episode from March just now! Love the recommendations! I also love Akershus breakfast though it wasn’t one of the ones mentioned! The specialty cheese and dips are incredible! It’s my favorite character meal. I also love Topolinos bc you can get amazing pics with the characters- it’s so light and bright! Garden grill felt a little claustrophobic to us- we have a family of 5… but it was... more

  • Enthusiastically Annoying

    Normally I give a show 3 listens to decide whether I continue to listen. I barely made it through one episode. Her enthusiasm is laudable, but I could not handle an hour of it. She seems nice and love the honest sometimes unpopular opinions on theme park attractions, but she needs to keep moral and political opinions to herself. One off and derogatory reference to JKR was okay, but 3-4 in one show was too much. I listen to theme park podcasts to escape the real world.

  • Please consider feedback on vocal choices and over-exuberance

    Carlye is clearly passionate about this topic and this space. As I’ve been preparing for my first DCL experience, I’ve dove into many of her episodes. I have to listen at 1.5 speed to help mitigate some of the choices around vocal tone and frankly to focus quickly on the content and get past the vocal intonation choices. I appreciate how positive she is but it’s almost like when you have a cupcake with too much frosting. I agree with others that the opening is grating and not charming. I think i... more
