If you believe Disney isn’t just for kids—you’ve found your people. We’re a Disney-obsessed couple who dive into everything from Walt Disney World and Disneyland trip planning to the movies that defined our childhoods.
Every Monday, we bring you lively conversations on the best countries in EPCOT, the latest Disney news, hidden gems, and even which rides and restaurants are overrated. Our mix of park tips, debates, and Disney history is made for Disney adults who crave both magic and nostalgia.
We also welcome special guests—including Disney Legends, Imagineers, former animators, and directors—who share behind-the-scenes stories about creating the attractions, films, and music that shaped generations.
Whether you’re planning your next Disney trip, reminiscing about classic movies, or just love talking Mickey shaped food, Enchanted Ears is your weekly dose of pixie dust.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
This week, Disneyland kicked off it’s 70th anniversary celebration. With that came the reveal of the new Walt Disney animatronic and the internet has some thoughts.
Then in our main topic, we welcome back Disney Historian and Author Chris Smith.
Chris joins us to discuss the Disney parks that never was and helps us count down the top 5 greatest unbuilt Disney attractions.
From rides with 30 foot, fire breathing dragons to Muppets spoofing popular movies to a massive land that was cut from the opening of Magic Kingdom, Chris shares the stories of why these attractions never came to be.
Let us know which attraction you wished Disney had built.
