Wonderful Disney Podcast
Very laid back, informative look at Disney/Orlando parks. Thought the first two episodes were excellent. Congrats -keep them coming.
!!!
Good first show! Thanks for not just copying the format of other Disney podcasts. Looking forward to more shows.
Outstanding Disney Dialogue!
Wow ... Very unique and entertaining! I don't know that I've heard a Disney related podcast quite like this one before. The roundtable format worked very well and the team seemed very comfortable and at ease in their conversations. This is a series I'm definitely going to be staying up on!
