Big Announcement! Evolution of Disneyland with Kids Podcast

As we wrap up the 4th season of the Disneyland with Kids Podcast we are sharing some BIG and exciting news. Disneyland with Kids Podcast is becoming Castle Talk Radio!
 
Don’t worry, you will still get amazing theme park info and tips with a focus on Disneyland, and a few other castles and theme parks added into the mix here and there.
 
The Disneyland with Kids podcast started as an extension of the Disneyland with Kids Facebook Group (which is not going anywhere) but has evolved into a podcast that can benefit more than just those going to Disneyland with Kids.
 
Tune in as we talk about the change, and also shine a spotlight on our DwK co-founders who are not a part of Castle Talk Radio (but we will be bringing them on here and there as guests).
