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, 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.
