  • 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 “comfort listen,” 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

  • Bad audio

    I was so upset after the last 2 episodes because of the audio. I had to keep checking because I thought the podcast stopped. I may give it one more chance :/

  • Rough Audio Quality

    The concept of the podcast is good and I think the hosts are too, but the audio is so messed up. The episode I listened to had the hosts talking over each other and there were long delays between tracks. Some of the hosts you just straight up couldn’t hear at all. It was really bad. I get having audio glitches, but at what point do you just re-record the episode? Why publish an episode when half of it is inaudible?

  • The friends you’ve been looking for!

    Long time listener, but first time reviewer of literally anything.

    It’s hard for me to put into words how amazing this podcast is. They are the friends you want to gab with about your theme park passions!

    Instead of just giving Disney news like many podcasts, they put clear time and effort into planning episodes that engage the listeners — making you feel like you’re part of the team, playing and laughing along with their games and conversations.

    Also, if you’re like me and have been debatin... more
