About this listen

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.
