The Disness is a (mostly) Disney podcast that drunkenly tackles a different movie from the vast Disney vault every single week! Hosts Jordan, Kaylee, and Smalltown run down every single movie throughout the history of Disney as they share their takeaways. fun facts, and personal stories along the way. We also drink a new cocktail every week themed after the movie we watch so (if of age) you can drink along with us!
