In the final episode of the series, our attention turns to celebrating Disney’s 100th Anniversary. And what better way to do this than by featuring some of our amazing Disney fans and podcast listeners? Nine fans have joined us on this special bumper episode, alongside Gi and both of our Disney Insiders, to share their magical memories and top tips from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disneyl...

Being the Disney podcast Gi-nie that she is, Giovanna thought you’d love a bonus episode packed full of the most magical moments from series 3. So sit back, relax and prepare to be whisked away to a world of magical memories, top tips and lots of LOLs with Amy Hart, Kate Garraway, Ruth Madeley, Frankie Bridge, Carrie Hope Fletcher and Romesh Ranganathan. You never know, with each guest conjuring u...

Actor, comedian and all-round legend Romesh Ranganathan admits he’s a natural cynic who often looks unimpressed with, well, pretty much everything. Yet he does recall once cracking a smile after riding Ratatouille: The Adventure and being surprisingly thrilled by The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ at Disneyland® Paris. The magic gets us all, eventually! Later this year, Romesh and his family are j...

Actor, author, singer-songwriter and Gi’s sister-in-law (Tom’s sister) Carrie Hope Fletcher is our first guest to have completed the Disney holiday hattrick of Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disneyland® Paris and Disney Cruise Line.

TV presenter, author and Saturday’s singer Frankie Bridge is a 'Disney on Ice citizen of Arendelle' so she really knows her magic. She visited Walt Disney World Resort in Florida ‘for the first time in forever’ when she was nine and went back a few years ago with one of her best buds, our very own Gi! Prepare to hear all about Frankie’s Disney dreams – spoiler alert, she LOVES princesses and Chris...

And since that magical family trip many moons ago, she’s flown a little further to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida over and over again. Tune in and you’ll hear all about Ruth’s out-of-control Disney Pin collection, where to get the most indulgent of coffees in the Disney Parks – it sounds dreamy – and why Disney...

This episode Gi is joined by journalist, broadcaster and soon-to-be-MBE Kate Garraway. Congratulations, Kate! At the time of recording, Kate was patiently waiting for her invite to Buckingham Palace. But that’s not the only royal residence she will have visited this year – as she recently returned from seeing Sleeping Beauty Castle, and its scary dragon, at Disneyland® Paris. Kate cherishes the ma...

Giovanna kicks off series three chatting all things Disney with TV personality, vlogger and Tower of Terror-lover Amy Hart.

Superstar singer and TV and radio presenter Ronan Keating’s first visit to a Disney® Park was something special – he and his Boyzone bandmates opened Space Mountain at Disneyland® Paris in 1995! Since then, he’s travelled all over the world and seen all sorts of wonderful things. But his most magical moment was seeing his son first meet Goofy at Tokyo Disney Resort®. Tune in to hear where MARVEL-m...

She knows how to sing, she knows how to dance and she knows when something has talent, so when Alesha Dixon says she loves the shows and parades at the Disney® Parks, they must be good. But which ones are her favourites? For Alesha, the faster the rollercoaster the better. She’s tried many during her trips to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disneyland® Paris and Disneyland Resort in Californi...

Well, Janette grew up a mere 253 miles (ish) from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida (lucky!) and thinks she’s been there a whopping 42 times. This also means she really knows her magic. So much so, she once whizzed her husband around all four Theme P...

Giovanna kicks off series two chatting magic with television presenter, podcaster, Disney thrill-seeker, and planning and packing expert Vogue Williams.   Vogue grew up totally obsessed with Beauty and the Beast. So much so, she ended up marrying a real-life Gaston (sorry, Spencer, Vogue’s words, not ours!). Their first ‘holidate’ was to Disneyland® Paris. And they can’t wait to go back this year...
