  • A Podcast I Want to Love Again

    I've gone back and forth on whether to write this review because I genuinely want this podcast to succeed.

    I was a longtime listener of The Happiest Podcast on Earth, which is still my favorite podcast of all time. When Where the Magic Happens launched, I was excited to have something fresh from people who clearly loved Disney and theme parks as much as I do. In the beginning, it really delivered on that.

    Over the past year or so, I've found myself enjoying it less and less.

  • Hit and miss

    Want to like this show hard to get past some stuff. Some episodes are fun, some are not and angry. Love the games not the swearing. Not sure if some of them even like disney or parks sometimes. Praying for Mark More jeapoardy and drafts please and less negativity to it. Better shows out there for magic but still good sometimes when you miss disney world.

  • Hands down the best podcast!

    I listen to podcasts across all kinds of genres, and this one easily stands above the rest. The cast has such an effortless chemistry that it genuinely feels like you’re hanging out with longtime friends.

    Jarrett (a fellow Parrothead!) reminds me of my dad in the best way, and I’m always nodding along to his hot takes. Mark is hilarious and my fitness motivation, Lindsey and Piper deliver the girl power we all need, and Jake has the energy of a happy golden retriever you can’t help but love.

  • Most Magical Podcast

    I binged all of the episodes and was sad when I finally caught up to real time a couple of months ago because now I have to wait for a new episode each week! This pod is truly my ā€œcomfort listen,ā€ and I feel like the hosts are my close, personal friends. I’ve enjoyed the different perspectives of the hosts - including their takes on not only WDW but also Disneyland and Universal. Shoutout to Jarrett for his ability to attract great friends/cohosts, and each of the other hosts who make me feel li... more
