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, Disney Vacation Club, 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.

Your #1 tip is my favorite! I hate waiting on the phone, so I let you do it instead.
Happy Disney is learning from Universal. I think virtual queues are a great idea! As for paying for Express Pass, not much different from Universal's Express Pass.
Listening to this podcast is like having really good friends who are super knowledgeable about all things Disney!
