Not sure how Jared and Jaime Lee get anything less than 5 stars. They are well researched experts that bring essentials for the perfect trip, business, news, and even some history to the masses. They do an incredible job of tying the “Disney Verse” together. They don’t sugar coat the bad and give honest opinions to help better inform the consumer. Of course I can sing them for to much verse and not enough Disney but they are the only reason I know anything about universal at all. So I won’t!

I have enjoyed listening to the Capture the Magic podcast for years now! I appreciate Jamie and Jared’s banter with one another and how that is included every episode-it sort of feels like hanging out with friends a couple times a week. I also find their takes on Disney/Universal really interesting and like the direction of discussing news and current events, in addition to the standard review content.

I listen to all of the trip report podcasts for Disney and this is probably my favorite! Jamie does such a good job leading the conversation and her joy is always so apparent! Please please do more of this style of podcast. They make my day!

While I’ve loved this podcast over the past few years, post covid the show has turned very negative. For a podcast dedicated to Disney World and “capturing the magic,” there’s a lot of focus on what Jared thinks Disney is doing wrong or what they could be doing better. As someone who loves Disney World but only comes once or twice a year, I sought out this podcast to keep the magic going at home. I wonder if as new Orlando locals, the hosts are sadly losing sight of what I assume most of their non-local listeners are seeking- the Disney Magic. Sadly, may seek out an alternate show if CTM is seemingly shifting its focus.

I used to absolutely love this podcast. I was a loyal listener and would listen to every single episode when it came out. They did such a great job of bringing me close to the magic and close to the parks when I wasn’t able to visit them. As of recently, it seems like anything ever said on this podcast is negative. Every piece of news or Disney information discussed has a negative connotation associated with it. Very hard to keep listening, when the whole point in listening is to be closer to the magic and joy that Disney brings. I understand that not every thing that Disney does has a positive to it, but it seems like every single piece of Disney news and discussion that they bring up they find ways to turn it negative, or there’s always something negative with their experience.

I used to be a fan of this podcast but the negativity and quickness to complain or criticize has gotten out of control. I also get frustrated because they will criticize and say what they think will be wrong or what won’t work about something at WDW, but then they never actually do or try those things to see if their opinion holds true. They moved closer to Disney to experience things for their podcast, but they don’t actually experience them. Example: major critiques of the new Cake Bake Shop and its prices, even after they were lowered. Fair, the prices are high. But will there be follow up to experience it and let us know? Probably not. They’ve decided it’s not good and don’t feel any obligation to try it and report about it. That’s OK if you’re just some average Disney fan. But for a podcast about Disney, I expect more. I don’t live there and don’t get to go as often. I’m relying on creators to report about it. But they won’t. You’ll do better tuning into some of the more prominent Disney YouTubers, Instagram or TikTok accounts or even other podcasters who go regularly and try everything.
