No-Guilt Disney Podcast

Patty Holliday, Theresa Mabe, and Jane Mayonoguiltdisney.com
To all those that come to our happy place, welcome to the No-Guilt Disney Podcast. We're three Disney fangirls who probably know way too much about the Disney parks than any adult should- and we're perfectly ok with that. Join us, Patty, Theresa, and Jane as we share stories of the Disney parks and why we love them. Segments include listener-submitted memorable moments and unpopular opinions as well as travel planning tips and discussions. If people have ever asked you why you love Disney and keep going back: this is the podcast for you. So be sure to subscribe and share- because it's no fun to fangirl Disney alone!
