Krystin is our TA! She is very attentive in answering all questions and in making arrangements for our trips. While our kids are all grown, it’s great that you’re giving information from a parent’s perspective.

[@Amy-yh8kf]

My heart & prayers go out to Chris….that was very touching

[@waddellerik]

This is excellent content. I really want to congratulate John Maji, Craig, and everyone involved in the re-launch of the Dis Unlimited and related content like this. You are doing an excellent job providing something genuine, positive, and interesting. I’m a communications professional myself, and I really like seeing things like this so well done. I hadn’t ever used a travel agent until earlier this year when I tried out Dreams Unlimited to help plan a big family trip to WDW. I was very happy with the level of service (shout out to agent Mel Dupell, who is excellent). The last few weeks of posts on this channel have really been good. Keep it up!

[@kamillsap3155]

No grandkids…no kids….and I enjoyed this very much. Glad to see John, and everyone!

[@ashleysunshine8985]

I can’t begin to explain how excited I am to hear this podcast. My husband and I are AP holders and have started to think about when to bring our 7 month old. Everybody “else” tells us we are crazy and “she won’t remember anything”. But hearing these stories made me so excited, please keep these podcasts coming.

[@GetNLine]

It's very possible. We took our daughter at 6 weeks and did just fine.

[@heatherk9807]

Absolutely agree with Krystin that taking toddlers and preschoolers age is 100% magical as everything is so very real to them! That was when I became hooked as a Disney mom!!! And for those people who are always so worried about this, the kids remember it when you make photo albums your bedtime story books, and read them every night! And, of course, you remember it as a parent! Plus, you will never be one and done! You will go back! Multiple times!❤❤

[@shawnsprague7401]

Nice to see shows back on this channel, it’s been awhile

[@TheMaxRebo]

Just wanted to say I am very happy you are trying out this format/content - I think a lot of us have to travel to get to Disney (and have to do so with 1 or more kid) and so getting these perspectives will be really valuable. Also props to Chris for being so open with his stories - really appreciate it!

[@shoto2526]

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I have been going to WDW since opening in 71. I was 6 years old and brought by my grandmother and aunt. Living in South Florida, I went almost every year with parents, siblings, two school trips in high school (including grad night,) girlfriends, spouse, my chidren who are now grown,and now planning my 60th birthday there. This reminded me of all the crazy dynamics the different family members created. I could go on for days. My happy place, and you all gave me great nostalgia. PS: used a travel agent for the first time on my last trip in February. Krysten was my agent, she's great.

[@kerrye.9369]

Love this idea as a series!! Really will be helpful to hear about things everyone experiences with their kids of all ages😊😎

[@robs7229]

Very interesting discussion!!! Something new! I enjoyed it!!! Awesome tonsee Something new to the Channel!!! Keep the new stuff coming!!! Goid job guys!!!👍

[@nydan024]

Love this. Chris is my go to agent and is amazing

[@candaceigh]

I think this is a great idea for a show! As a longtime viewer of The DIS (Unplugged), I know people have been wanting to hear from parents for a while so this is great!

[@joykinser3444]

I am really glad to see some non-locals and parent discussions. Not that locals and non-parent's point of view isn't valid bc it is and I love the Tuesday show, but for families planning a first or returning trip this show could be really hepful.

[@chelsear202]

Love this idea for a show!

[@heatherk9807]

Nice to see content focused on parents even though my kids are grown now. I think you’re it’s smart to tap into your excellent internal resources to address a part of the market you missed in the past - I would venture many of your clients have families.

[@LaLunaLady]

That was an enjoyable and heartwarming watch. Thanks to everyone telling their stories. I'm watching this and I am retired and have grown children and I enjoyed it, so I hope the series continues!

[@jenniferingle6562]

This was really great! I enjoyed all the perspectives of this panel. Also, the fact that they are TAs and see the trip prep from that perspective too is awesome!

[@Amy-yh8kf]

Love hearing all of your stories❤❤❤❤

[@Hammerman207]

Bravo 👏 John... new segment should be a keeper 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SerenityNowTS]

I really enjoyed this show! I loved hearing everyone’s stories, and I appreciate that each person brings something unique to the table. Looking forward to future shows!

[@franklinmimi]

I loved this episode with the stories about Disney with children. It was personal stories that touched on aspects that aren’t the usual . I hope you have the travel assistants on again.

[@ebonyd259]

Great show idea

[@LisaAnn365]

Chris, you have a great radio/podcast voice!!

[@geofferypmeyers]

When friends and acquaintances ask me what age they should take their kids I tell em this. If money is tight, and is literally once-in-a-lifetime, not going every 2-5 years, only going once type of thing, the minimum age is 5, and the sweet spot is 8 to 13. Conversely, if you know you’ll go to Disney a few times in their life, go whenever you want! Having baby photos at Disney are priceless, as are the memories that stay with the parents.

[@amydoran9987]

We first brought our kids at 3 and 4 years old. Now they are 16 and 19. We are going to Disney for our yearly trip next week. You definitely feel differently when your kids are along.

[@sarahmariefine]

My 2yo crawled under the divider onto the neighboring balcony on the 4th floor of the Grand Floridian, then my 4yo went after her ended up there too... that was our first Club Level experience 😂

[@jamiecmvp]

Love this, and so nice to see your faces again! Really looking forward to more of them 😊

[@user-uh2qe8nn9n]

Excelente show! Chris is my travel agent, and he is great. When is Pete returning? Pls more content in DCL channel.

[@tiffanyhatcher310]

I love the idea of this show! It was something I needed years ago. My daughter is now 7, and she had her first trip at 17 months to Disney World. We are looking to expand our Disney travels. Also, Craig, it was nice to see you open up. We just welcomed an IVF baby a little over a week ago. How extra special your little guy is!

[@vradalin]

I'm looking forward to more of these podcasts. Thank you to everybody for sharing. Mine are older teenagers now, I wish I'd had some advice from experience travelers back when they were younger!

[@kristinedouglas9751]

We moved to CA when my kids were 2.5 & 4. We started going to D'Land and only did Fantasyland, parade & characters from afar, generally after work in the evenings. We thought that was the right amount of exposure living so close and frequency. We moved away 8 years later, but the kids always loved going and grew into meeting characters and rides. Today, one child lives in FL and works at MK.

[@justinbaker2883]

Oh man Craig that's awesome to hear. My boy always wins loudest baby award on the plane.

[@wendycooper6073]

I wish that I would have had this information when I was traveling with my special needs son as a single mom. He loved Disney vacations because there was so much to do. He is an adult now but we have so many vacations that we were lucky enough to go on and we had many of those conversations that we wouldn’t have had at home ❤

[@ashleysunshine8985]

Would love to hear some insight/tips for character meet and greets with little ones

[@lindseysellers4423]

Really enjoyed this. It was nice to hear the personal stories and think it's great that each panelist has a unique parenting perspective based off kids ages, number of kids, or co-parenting circumstances. Not sure if you're planning on switching out panelists, but I think another area that would be very helpful is if any TA's have kids with special needs and how they navigate the parks from that perspective. Can't wait for more episodes!

[@eprohoda]

Yeah- really stunning sharing, 👋

[@annapower9799]

Great show. Love how you’re listening to feedback of what listeners want and creating that content. Thank you!!!!

[@tammydahl386]

I really enjoyed this episode and I love the idea of a parents panel!

[@LP-kx9xw]

Great show! Very informative and helpful. Especially for first time parents !

[@justinbaker2883]

This was great. I'm excited for this!

[@christine3507]

This was great! Look forward to hearing more of this perspective from the panel. Definitely something the audience has been asking for. Great to meet some new contributors and love seeing Craig in the role of panelist vs. worrying about the production (which I'm sure he's also doing). You know better than me, but I wonder if you want to put this back on the "main" channel rather than keeping separate or at least cross-promote there? Looking forward to more!

[@richd6362]

Great episode. Looking forward to more of them.

[@donnapilon9728]

Such a great episode. Looking forward to more

[@user-uz6cr9th6w]

This was fantastic!

[@MrChrisDanger]

Don´t know what it will be about but thankfully finally some new Video again on that. Please some Update Video for Disneyland in the new Future would be amazing til next Year would be cool since the last one is few years ago. But I am looking forward for new Video stuff since I missed the DUT ones deeply helpful stuff that may could overseen through the funny Tuesdays ones plenty information for Travellers that wants to know the details. Even when we can hope that at the OG will be also few things going away like Park Reservations and so but how and where to use the MagicBand+ and so and booking details and so many interesting stuff to talk about. congrats Krysten a Decade of helpful Vacations for your clients. especially for families I am guessing. 😉😁

[@MrChrisDanger]

Okay I get it just talks about family Vacation issues. But I hope you Guys will do just the regular DUT Videos as well in the near future talking about important stuff for all travellers not just the ones for families like before.

[@olivialewis1287]

I’ve missed the dreams show!

[@puthyx]

Is Kevin doing okay? Haven't seen him on in awhile.

[@margaretriley9146]

Kevin was on the Podcast last week..!!!!

[@puthyx]

@@margaretriley9146 Is the podcast uploaded to the same channel on KZbin that this video was uploaded to?

[@ACCUSE03]

Good show. The cancer bit was good. It was edgy. It was not my sort of thing but some of those people out there, they really liked it.

[@MrChrisDanger]

Is that a new Episode or just a older one cuz Mr. Dovobrek confuses me as he talked about Star Wars referring Episode 7 that was in 2015 or has he only talked about the past that time in that year of 2016??? Because if that Video is a new one from 2023 than the Film isn´t recently anymore 😅😉😊

[@56strine]

I will not include a link this time. It will get deleted. Is anyone interested in a alternative healing method for an illness? If anyone is interested. Let me know.

[@kpl-CA]

I wish there was a minimal amount of inclusion for disabled folks... disabled parents, disabled kids... Or someone who wasn't so Florida-centric (with one token midwestern agent). But no. Every vlogger and their dog think the Universe begins & ends in Florida. 🙄💩 Also, the ignored, uncorrected, obviously endorsed ableism of Craig saying noise would make his child Deaf... was disgusting. Not "cute". Ableist, demeaning, judgemental, as well as a blatant LIE. Why would any disabled person trust an agent or agency with a history of chronic ableist remarks and outright LIES that they excuse as supposedly "funneeeeeee".? Our family certainly wouldn't feel safe with someone like that, someone deliberately, gleefully ableist... Trust someone like that with our safety, needs, privacy...? Why would we? No wonder your reputation as an agency is sooooo bad with families with disabled members & Wish Kids. I came here to see why... And it only took a few minutes to see why. What's next? Racist jokes? Immigrant hate? Classist jokes? Sneering at "the poors"? Evidently "inclusion" to this agency ONLY means LGBTQIA+ but zero diversity in any other way. We'll go with agents who are respectful & *GENUINELY* INCLUSIVE, as well as better informed, respectful, and who deserve our business.
