  • Long Time Fan, First Time Reviewer

They are the best source for crowd calendars, DDP credits, resort selections, and lightning lane priorities. Giving travelers a platform on this podcast to share their trip reports adds another planning resource to a vacation that has become increasingly more important to plan ahead for. I’m grateful to her for turning her passion i... more

For instance, in episode 475 at around the 1:28:00 mark, Shannon makes the remark “the bullies are feeling emboldened these days”. I mean, what is that? Yeah, I voted for Trump, does that make me a bad person? She just ASSumes the guy is a Trump supporter. I don’t agree with what the guy did to the cast member in... more
