I love that you have such a great mix of people in different stages of life...single, married, people with young kids, older kids, grandkids. The multiple perspectives give such a well-rounded viewpoint to all the vacation issues you cover. And I love the different opinions.
Casual does not mean "un-professional". I love the chattiness and informality of the podcast. I love off-the-cuff, uncensored comments. I think that keeps things fresh and honest. And funny. You all make me laugh out loud during those times...and then my co-workers turn and stare at me, because I listen with my headset in an otherwise quiet work environment.
I love reviews. All kinds. I love feedback on new park experiences. Since I live 2,000 miles from WDW, when I go, I want to be prepared. The information you provide in those segments is invaluable to the traveler who may only have the chance of WDW vacation once a year. I know that what I need information-wise is so different with WDW than with
Disneyland (which I visit much more frequently, due to proximity). Shooting more in the park, "remote" segments (pardon the broadcasting jargon, it's my former profession, lol), from something as simple as the new queue at Peter Pan would be something that I would appreciate a great deal.
I can't say enough good stuff about your
ABD segments. They are so informative and interesting, and as I something I can't wait to do someday, I love seeing these destinations and hearing about how Disney operates this side of their business. As much money as we spend on going to WDW, we'll probably spend five to ten times more on an ABD adventure. I find myself soaking up the info on these trips like a sponge.
I love all aspects of Disney, especially Disney history. When you all discuss that, as well as interesting facts on people currently working for the company, and speculate about the future and the direction the company may go, I'm all ears. Some "historical Disney" segments with an expert on Walt and WDW would be really fun as well.
And, I think a field trip to Toyko Disney, Disney Seas, and Disneyland Paris is definitely in order. If you need a volunteer to accompany you all...look no further. "Pick me! Pick me!"
Keep up the great work team!! I love listening (have to have the podcast at work), and I appreciate all the hard work that goes into what you do!!
