Welcome to the Magic on Main Street Podcast! We're Sean and Tabitha! Over the better part of a decade our little family has lived the Disneyland lifestyle. As an ex-cast member, Legacy Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members we’ve been surrounding our lives with Disney. From disneybounding to pin-trading, exclusive items and all the food, we’ve fully immersed ourselves in the culture that Walt built. We’ve done it all and have made some great friends and memories over the years! We’ll be sitting down with friends and other Disney junkies to share our stories and advice. We’ll be your one stop shop for Disneyland, California Adventure and Walt Disney World history and trivia and all the insider information you could ever ask for on merchandise, food, shows, attractions and everything else you should know about the parks. Our goal is to bring a little magic to your ears each week by sharing our Disney journey with you. As a patron, you will receive extra episodes and more each week! This is Magic on Main Street!
