sergioman222555Skip this showI found this show and followed it for a while when I was looking for a new Disney World podcast. I gave it a chance, even though the hosts are really, not all that knowledgeable about Walt Disney World compared to those who have been going to the parks for a long time, or are experienced travel agents. In their most recent episode, however they felt the need to highlight the fact that anything goes on this show except politics. Not sure why that was relevant or needed to be mentioned. Silence can be deafening though especially when you make a point about remaining silent. so thanks for being honest about who you really are.

courtjacksonBest Disney PodcastStarted listening to this show back in 2022 to prep for a Disney trip and learn how to use genie+… and have been listening just for fun ever since! I’ve learned so much about Disney from this show and it’s just so fun to listen to each week. The thing I appreciate the most is… nothing political is ever brought up or even hinted at! Just the fun & magic of Disney, the way Walt intended the parks to be🙌🏻 Thank you!!

AndrewWarner2232Best Disney PodcastListened to this podcast for a few years and have enjoyed listening to it on road trips with my family. It’s nice to have a source where I can do stuff and be told about Disney. (Also my mother Becky is one of your travel agents)

diizneyyAmazing!!!!Unlocking The Magic is the best I listen to every episode and it’s just such a fun time. Team Tonga!!!

FfhjifdxshndgjvGreat PodcastLove listening to this podcast. Their vibe and low expectations and just enjoying being in Disney World had me reach out to their travel agency. We were paired with Brittany Rogers and she was absolutely incredible. I went into that intimidating place and my family and I had the best time. Hoping to go back someday.

Cam M. 🚀My favorite podcast ‼️Literally my comfort pod. I listen every day. I like to of course listen to new episodes but also go back to older ones. You guys are the best!!

Kelly Jean Jelly BeanThanks for the Disney fix between trips!Connie and Bruce are the best! They are so fun to listen to and help me feed my Disney addiction between trips. You know what I mean?
-
Mo-44Love it!So wholesome and fun! There are several couples doing Disney podcasts, and this is the best one. Bruce and Connie are playful while remaining respectful and loving to each other. I love listening to them.
-
Guy455Fun timeGreat escape to think about the next trip. Connie and Bruce are great to listen to and keep everything relaxed and interesting. Please keep up the great work!

runnergirlmiaDo you live in Flordia yetSo…yesterday was July 27 2024….do you guys live in Florida yet (in re: episode 350)?? You guys are amazing—not only is your podcast fun and relaxing, but you guys are so cute together and your sense of humor is fabulous. I’ve lived by the “low expectations” mantra for a couple years now. Would love to meet you both but as a shy introvert if ever I saw you I probably wouldn’t initiate conversation. Hearty thanks nonetheless, keep producing stellar content!
-
Obsessed with starbucksThe best!This is the best podcast hands down. You can get a lot of tips and tricks for going to the parks, but also learn about Disney. I love how Connie gets nostalgic and personal and always adds so much depth to whatever she is talking about. Bruce gives you the low down on doing Disney as an introvert, which I very much relate to. I thought I would stop listening after my Disney trip, but this couple has me hooked!
-
LasombrraA Great ListenJust finished a 7 day trip to Disney that took months of planning where I listened to this podcast along with others. Their food reviews really came into play, and appreciate the light heartedness of the shows. It was really overwhelming at times and they helped remind me that “this was suppose to be fun”.
-
slibuchaFunVery good and approachable podcast. The husband thinks he’s funnier than he really is but it’s still very enjoyable. Thanks!
-
11981BlahblahBlakiI love this podcast! They are so funny and make my space between Disney trips seem bearable. I too love taking my drinks on the people mover (shhh…don’t tell anyone) and love the tips and tricks they offer. I listen every week and love it. Thank you for everything you do.
-
Lobi827Love this show! Worth the Follow!!As a fellow New Englander, it is so wonderful to listen to the show and catch some of the idiosyncrasies that are mentioned. I am very similar to Connie- I love to talk, enjoy history deep dives, and am as excited about planning every WDW trip. My husband relates 500% to Bruce. My husband is a true introvert, loves Tonga toast, and appreciates the sarcasm and distaste for crowds as much. He often sides with Bruce on the Ins and Outs. I don’t go as often as I would love, but as often as my pocket will allow… UTM fills in the gaps perfectly!

DubyaDeeDubyaFanBlah Blah Blahki and Flah Flah FlahkiOne of my favorite Disney podcasts. Bruce and Connie are great! Know what I mean? Bruce will have you laughing out loud as you listen and Connie will give you all the nostalgic feels of Disney. I look forward to every Friday for the new episode to drop. Hopefully, I run into them in the parks one day. Sorry, Bruce.

jgs as hiiyrrgvIf you love Brian and Connie(Konnie), wait until you meet DanStarted listening to this podcast and it’s become one of my favorites. It is informative, entertaining and grounded, real reporting on the Disney Bubble. You guys have great banter! Since I’ve become such a fan girl, I decided to give the travel agency a try. I normally book on my own but had one night of my upcoming vacation without a selected resort. Dan was great to work with. I mean there was no cost for this and now I have someone who will look out for my dining, my special event tickets and making sure everything is linked to my Disney app. This is like being pixie dusted to Concierge level!

DaveRohThe best Disney podcastImagine your favorite neighborhood couple also happen to be experts on Disney parks and travel. The conversational style that is chock full of insights and inspiration make each episode a joy to listen too. It’s not just about planning your next trip, it’s about looking forward to all your future trips and remembering your past trips. Listen every week to keep your Disney memories and dreams alive.

brighrubMY FAVORITE PODCASTThis podcast is my favorite podcast. I count down the days until Friday every week when you release a new episode. Your podcast is so entertaining. I enjoy them every time. You guys give so many helpful tips and tricks to help me on my next Disney trip. I love how your are always excited and full of enthusiasm. Thank you so much for spending time every week doing this. It puts a smile on so many people’s face.

Hermione Granger ❤️You are my fave Disney pod!!! ❤️❤️❤️I love the podcast so much! I love your good taste in rides, food and more! Only 11 and want to take the trip to Disney many more times, but never been to Universal or Disney land. My mom introduced you guys to me. I’ve even started listening to your kids podcast. I want to run my own podcast when I get older and you are inspiring me to keep going. You are so fun to listen to. Keep up the good work! 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

CBGianniniI want to be Bruce’s friendI love this pod. Bruce & Constantina are so fun to listen to & I enjoy listening to them talk about my favorite places to bring my family. I also love pizza, Boston, the North End & while I am certain Bruce would get exhausted by me in minutes I think I would really enjoy hanging out with him. Give them a listen if you are looking for a fun Disney Podcast to help plan your trips.
-
The DestructorI love this show!!I love this show, funny, informative, and hosted by fellow Bostonians! I found this show while planning for my first trip to Disney in 30 years and have continued to listen after the trip has come and gone. Thank you for all the great info, good laughs, and incredible food tips😂 I may have eaten on the People Mover for you Bruce!!
-
PaigeLL.Go-to Disney PodcastThis podcast brings me such excitement for upcoming Disney trip. I haven’t been to Disney in over 20 years & this brings me such joy! Looking forward to taking my little ones soon. Thank you Connie & Bruce for keeping it real & honest! Love how you both love Disney so much
-
ModernMeWarWeekly stress reliefAfter a stressful week working to pay for my next trip, I put on Connie and Bruce to have a few laughs and share in the creativity and escapism that is Disney (& a bit of Universal). The combination of Connie’s wonder and Bruce’s dry humor helps me escape if for a short moment the outside world.
-
My Go-To Walking PodcastMy Go-To Walking PodcastI try to walk every day (I call it my “Disney” walk) and I always throw on Connie and Bruce! UTM fills up my Disney tank when I’m not there! These two have such great chemistry in their conversations and make it easy to listen to all day! Often I have to pause the show to throw in my own opinions or choose my “in or out”. This is a great podcasts for those who don’t know a lot about Disney or those who are a Disney fanatic!
-
Alan-Michael SprinkleBest Disney Podcast!If you’re looking for an informative podcast that is immersed in personal stories and the emotions tied to the Disney parks, this podcast is for you. Bruce and Connie share the best aspect of Disney: the personal stories that bring lifelong memories! I love seeing where their ranks match with my ranks, and I love when they mention attractions I haven’t given much time to. I look forward to ever podcast because it enlivens enthusiasm as I look forward to my next trip!
-
Minnie mouse 02The bomb dot comThis is a great family friendly Disney podcast. I love their take on all things Disney. They are definitely not boring. I love it so much that I was listening to the very old episode 15, and that is where the low expectations motto started. The audio quality is amazing.
-
Bigman2333Great PodcastLove the show! Big Disney fan but also a big Universal Orlando fan. Would love more episodes talking about universal!
-
ShellidubyaHaving FunI really enjoy this podcast. I think more than anything, I can hear how much Bruce and Konnie enjoy the parks and more importantly, each other. They do a fine job of towing the WDW line, while at the same time, giving us real world opinions. When I’m having a long day or feeling anxious perhaps, I can put on an episode and escape to the parks with them and in short time, start feeling better. Keep up the good work!
-
wilhelmandrainbowsGreat podcast!Unlocking the Magic is one of my favorite Disney podcasts! Bruce and Connie are so knowledgeable of the parks and Disney history. They are playful, fun and both have great voices for podcasting. Somehow I feel like I’m having fun listening yet feel relaxed at the same time! They share honest reviews and opinions from different perspectives and I love how they include ideas and recommendations for all budgets to make sure everyone takes something away no matter how big or small the trip. They are very relatable! Listen in, it’s a great Disney Podcast!
-
Micaela FieA Magical Way To Pass Your Boring DayAs an avid podcast listener and major Disney fan, I look forward to every new episode of Unlocking the Magic that comes out! I LOVE listening to the tips and tricks that Bruce and Connie have to offer. Their passion for what they present to the public is evident in every episode! They offer a fun yet practical perspective on all things Disney parks and vacations which, as a middle class American citizen and Disney fan, I truly appreciate. They are a joy to listen to. I wish they could see how excited I get when I see they have released a new episode!
-
HaleyP08Great escapeI love this podcast for all things Disney (and Universal)! I’ve been checking out different Disney podcasts, and I keep coming back to this one. Connie and Bruce are fun and funny. They give a lot of great insight into the parks and cruises, if you’re a Disney novice, but they also provide a lot of new and interesting information even for long time Disney fans. They’ve encouraged me to get out my comfort zone and try some new things at the parks—and their advice was spot on. I don’t have another vacation planned (yet), but I keep listening because this is a great escape into the magic of Disney from every day life.
-
DogtrainerjamieFeel good and relaxingI can’t believe it’s taking me this long to find this podcast. This is one of the best Disney podcasts I have come across. I’m not sure why, but there are some thing about their voices that is relaxing and easy to listen to! Mature and easy listening. Love it.
-
Mspgirl1234BEST DISNEY PODCAST!I have listened to many Disney podcasts and always come back to Connie with a C and Bruce here because they are the best! Interesting topics, entertaining commentary, and just so so real. I cannot tell you how many times I have been amazed at the similarities between them and my family and I so enjoy hearing their take on all things Disney World (I skip the Universal and cruise topics). Thanks for being my happy distraction from reality and for giving me hope that maybe some day my husband will also click and become a Disney lover.
-
JBP33Love UTM podcastsAbout six months ago I discovered UTM and really enjoy their podcasts. As a fellow New Englander and WDW and Universal Studios enthusiast, they provide a lot of fun and useful information. Connie and Bruce are both great. They always give a pizza themselves to every episode. Would highly recommend.
-
KaseyWithAKayAs someone also from MA….I love this podcast. You two are my favorite Disney podcasters. As someone also from MA who struggles to clean up my harsh accent sometimes, i would LOVE to hear a full MA accent episode lol. My favorite thing when listening is when I hear it slip a little and you go back to correct it. So relatable lol. Also, same as Konstantina, I’m Kasey (Kay-see) with a K and I always have to correct it. Love you guys!
-
eranne❤️❤️Love this podcast! Makes my mornings so great, wether I have a trip planned or not.
-
Bmg1785Love it!Such a fun, easy going podcast to listen to on days when I need a break from reality and want to think of all things Disney!
-
Jackie H. 97One of my favorite Disney podcasts 🫶🏼I love listening to Konstantina and Bruce during my workday! Gives me my Disney fix while miles away. They’re the perfect length episodes and generally positive and fun to listen to!
-
Jose Valentine's MustacheAlways enjoyableThe pair do a great job of keeping things playful while hitting on a lot of topics. Please continue to unlock the magic & reimagine the super old ones that you’ve already done.
-
ShellfromDelEnlightening and entertainingI recently discovered this podcast while planning an upcoming couples trip to WDW. It is full of helpful information and tips- perfect for adults who haven’t been to the parks in a while. Connie and Bruce give honest feedback in a positive way.
-
ChachacitaRealistic tipsThey are funny and lend some good insights. I think they have kids.. but most of their tips seem to be more for adults. But overall it’s better than most podcasts I’ve heard so far.
-
battyjesseSo fun to listen toWe’re going to Disney World for the first time in a week! I’ve been listening to this to get excited and write down ideas ahead of time. I’m definitely gearing up for that Tonga Toast, you better not disappoint me Bruce… 😳
-
sasawardBest Disney PodcastI love listening to this podcast and learning about new things at Disney. I truly feel the Disney magic listening to this podcast, almost as magical as eating pizza in EPCOT!!
-
ay_jaaayyLoveI stumbled upon this pod cast during such a hard time in my life being diagnosed with thyroid cancer and my heath anxiety going from 0-100 being in nursing school …I’ve made this pod cast a nightly routine session. I can’t wait to jump in bed turn off all the lights and listen to your stories it helped me threw the hardest times in my life and I’m so grateful for this fun corky entertaining podcast.
-
Princess charIt’s okayI used to love this podcast but it feels like recently they’ve been doing a lot more episodes about the history of Disneyland which isn’t bad but a lot of it is either retelling of old videos or playing old Walt Disney audio
-
Rob SantoraRob Santora creative Director / Designer / Illustrator )Excellent Podcast!
-
tcunnin89Live this podcast!I love this podcast for so many reasons, but the main one is that they basically have the same conversations my wife and I have when discussing Disney World. Ranking foods and rides, parks, etc. They are so fun to listen to and are a good listen especially when I am missing the park. Also, they have amazing pizza opinions!
-
MeTarzanMeWantEatMeatGreat Disney PodcastGreat audio and voice recording, easy to listen to, informative, sometimes funny, great PIZZA recommendations.
-
