Where I Want to Be isn’t just a Disney podcast—it’s a little bit of magic, too! I’ve learned so much from Virginia and her guests, and it’s made a real difference in how I plan my own visits.
What makes this podcast special is the way it transports you through each trip report. Whether you're planning your next visit or just missing the magic, it brings the parks to life and reminds you that even the most magical moments often come with a few unexpected pivots.
Apple Podcasts5Elk9980United Statesa year ago - What Disney Blues?
Thank you Virginia! Your podcast is the perfect remedy for the Disney blues. The pre and post trip reports give great insight into the intricacies of trip planning for all sorts of adventures (solo trips, celebrations, family trips, adult trips, and RunDisney too!) I'm no runner, but have taken this podcast with me as a walking companion for many, many, many miles. Trip reports are my favorite form of Disney podcasting, and this one never disappoints.
