Dan and Leslie from Addicted to the Mouse are parents of two boys who have fallen in love with Walt Disney World so much that they moved their family to Orlando to be close to the magic! They often hear friends and family say that Disney is only for kids, but couldn’t disagree more. The couple hopes to guide families on ways to experience and enjoy Disney destinations either with or without kids. Disney can be amazing as a couples only destination as well! Join Dan and Leslie as they take you through the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Disney Springs, Disneyland, Aulani, Disney Cruise Line, and all of the Disney resort hotels. Join them at Addicted to the Mouse for more travel planning advice to some of their other favorite destinations, including Universal Studios and International travel.

I get such joy listening to Dan and Leslie each week to hear what is going on around the parks and I love hearing about their own personal travels and bookmarking places and ideas for my husband and me! They are incredibly knowledgeable and are always willing to tell you their true opinions on their experiences which I really appreciate when thinking about planning my own trips! HOWEVER, as a Kansas Citian, I did have to rethink things when Dan said he wasn’t a fan of Travis Kelce…I’m still figuring out if I can forgive that indiscretion…
All jokes aside, keep up the great work, I can’t wait to keep listening!!

I’m a fairly new listener but love long Disney lover. I live in Charleston, SC and for the past 3 months have been driving back and forth to Charlotte NC to help care for my mom who was in hospice care. She was a life long Disney lover as well, and used to always talk about being “being the same age as Disneyland” as she was born in 1955. She passed a two months ago and your podcast has brought me joy and lightness during a very difficult time, making those drives a little more bearable. I I also was inspired to reach out to Fantastical Vacations for an upcoming trip to Universal. Kate was amazing and has helped plan an Epic :) trip for my family and I. Thanks again for all you do, it’s literally life saving sometimes 🩷

I've been listening to Addicted to the Mouse since 2021 when I was planning my family's very first Disney vacation. Fast forward a few years, and we're now planning trip number four!
I've listened to several Disney podcasts over the years, but Dan and Leslie are absolutely the best. Their knowledge is incredible, but what really sets them apart is the rapport they have with each other. Every episode feels like you're getting advice from friends who genuinely love helping others create magical vacations.
I love the tips, planning advice, and updates they share, and listening to the podcast always gets me excited for our upcoming trips. It also helps cure those inevitable post-Disney blues when we get home. If you're planning a Disney vacation—or just missing Disney between trips—this podcast is a must-listen.

Dan and Leslie, thank you so much for all the advice and tips! I have been listening to your fabulous podcast for about a year after searching for the perfect podcast for me. We recently visited the Disney World bubble, stayed on property and employed tips and tactics that made this trip magical for my wife and I! Thank you for helping two older nest free parents be kids again and not pass out! You two are amazing and we adore your podcast!

I’ve been a dedicated listener for years and have listened to every episode. Over the last few months, the tone of this podcast has changed immensely. It has gone from humble to braggadocios. It has also gone from overwhelmingly positive things to say about Disney to primarily negative. Leslie is trying to keep the ship on course, finding some positive things in each situation. Dan needs to stop complaining about EVERYTHING!

This podcast used to be my go to for all things Disney! They were my WDW Spirit Animals. Lately, this has become the Disney Downer Heckling Show. With more critical pessimism than excitement. We tuned in to hear exciting news and reviews. Now, it’s Dan talking about how much better Universal Studios is and hearing about their own personal trips. Not recommended for listeners who want someone to help build your joy and Disney trip anticipation. They will drag you down.
