I really appreciate deni’s perspective as a parent. Jackie as well. The combination of Craig, Ryno, Jackie, and Deni is really great and Craig has really matured as a host in this show. This was a fabulous idea.
I remember Deni’s first episode and how impressive she was immediately. Like - Wow, she was made for this job! She has such a presence, but in a beautiful, humble way. Congrats on landing this gig and doing what you love!
Such a lovely story. I think we all agree that Demi has been the perfect addition to the Dis. I actually got a little emotional when she said “I think we have to move here” when she was on the plane back to Maryland. Love you, Deni!
Deni you are truly such an amazing addition to the DIS…every piece of what you said pulls on the heart strings…every time I fly home, I do feel a piece of myself stays in Orlando…and listening, reading and loving the DIS gives me that piece of my happy place that I miss terribly while we are away…Thank you guys again for all you do!!!! And Craig Denis right, we all absolutely love listening to you too!!!
Gosh, Deni hit so many emotional nails on the head for me. We hope to live outside of WDW (when my husband retires from military) within a few years and she and I share a lot of the same story & sentiments. Glad she is part of the DIS team. A breath of fresh air!
Loved hearing Deni’s story. She is my favorite Dis team member and left me wanting to know more, such as what I her previous career was & how she was able to transfer her skills to working for the Dis. Anyways, she is a great addition to the team.
One of the things I'm looking forward to on my Disney trip is the possibility that I might meet one of the Off the Rails cast. These 4 have been so much fun to watch. The Dis crew is all great but these four are a treasure!
Deni is the best. I love all the shows she hosts, and the story she told on this show. I love the story she told about the t shirts. I love muppets take Manhattan too.I’m not sure I would like living in Florida. I do love to go to Disney once a year.
Thank you for sharing your story with us, Deni. We love Deni's enthusiastic and upbeat contributions to the show. She brings such joy to every piece she works on. We also watch the Dis to relax and prepare for our next trips and it's exactly how she describes playing the podcasts to get a bit of Disney happiness in your everyday. It's so spot on. Thank you, Deni! Also, love her food reviews!
I love listening to Deni! I live in WI and she totally got it spot on when you just want to connect to your happy place. Thank you Deni for connecting me to Disney World. 😊 Do you ever give tours or 1-1 experiences in the park? Just an idea!
I love this! Deni is so extremely inspirational for me. I remember having my first trip to WDW in 2011. I was a lifelong fan but did not get there until I was in my late 30’s. I cried on the plane ride home cause I just didn’t want to leave. That once in a lifetime trip was 10 years and 14 trips ago. I live in Chicago but one day I too would love to live the dream. Keep us the great work Deni!
Love Deni, and so glad to hear her story! Like Deni, I grew up coming to Disney World on a day trip every year. My aunt and uncle lived in Tampa, and we would spend every Easter/spring break staying with them and we would always make the trip over for one day. Like Craig mentioned, back then, there was only one park. Epcot didn't open until I was almost 10 years old. Such wonderful memories! Deni has my dream job and I am so happy for her! :)
I love this! Thanks Deni for sharing your story. Sometimes my friends and family don’t understand my love for all things Disney and hearing this just confirms that I’m definitely not alone in this obsession/passion whatever you want to call it. 💜
Wonderful idea on doing these team member origin stories, looking forward to more. Deni is smart, kind, caring and a great addition to the team, and it made me smile hearing her background story.
Deni, I'm so happy you are part of the team. You do such a great job. I also wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your Saturday recipes. I hope you will do some more cooking segments. They are fun to watch.
Deni , I totally understand what you were saying about, you knowing when your about to turn the page in your life. I think your wonderful and love hearing you speak so eloquently about Disney ! Even it I didn’t know who you were , you could tell how much you love words . Even with food reviews , the way you express yourself is above the rest . Kudos to you for going after what you truly want in life ! I’ve been ready to move to Disney for years , it’s always felt like home to me , as it did to you . It’s always been so hard getting back on that plane . Maybe one day , I will work in some way for Disney too . For now I look forward to enjoying every moment in the park until , we can move down there !
LOVE THIS!!! Deni - you are absolutely fabulous and I ADORE your story! After hearing about your journey, I realize you are my spirit animal 🐹 My first trip to Disney World was in 1975 and I’ve been in love ever since. Luckily, my husband is even worse than I am so we go every chance we get. Out - of - staters here (New Jersey) about to purchase our first annual passes with trips planned for September, October and November 😎. My husband always tells me I should start some type of Disney vlog, as we watch them almost every night. But of course, a lot of people have that idea and the market seems a bit saturated 😜 I love the DIS, and all of you! We’ve rented DVC points through the DIS boards a number of times, and have felt so fortunate for those wonderful on-property stays. Keep doing what you’re doing - have a magical day ❤️
Love how you talk about getting on the plane knowing that your heart is truly in Orlando it is truly amazing to know that a lot of people have upped a move just like you be part of the magic
Awwww I love Deni! I really enjoyed listening to the ep on moving to Orlando when she spoke about her experience living there! So happy she is part of the Dis team 👋 hey from Scotland!! X
Loved ur story Deni 😊 My husband and I have been trying to move to FL for 12 yrs and last month we finally made it and r now living in Winter Garden. Can’t wait to get my AP this Month
Wow! I really enjoyed this episode. I didn’t realize that you & Jackie had done an episode with your stories. I will have to go back & check that out. Looking forward to hearing Ryno’s story too. Thanks!
Deni! Muppets Take Manhattan is also my favorite Muppet movie. That and Muppet Christmas Carol. I also listened to the Dis on my commutes. It made me happy before going to a job that stressed me out. So glad you are part of the team.
I took my great nephew at 18 mos - 2 1/2 years old and again when he was 4 - had a ball all three times - we still say DUCK DUCK when we see ducks. Stayed at Pop Century and the ducks were all around the pool and chased him wanting snacks. Those trips were awesome. It was a relaxing time because it kept me from GO GO GO GO GO and GO some more - I was able to take him in the mornings - we went back to the hotel in the afternoon and swam, snacked and napped - went back in the evenings - those were really magical times. My nephew will be 17 this year and he still has memories but then I have kept them alive with photos, videos and lots of great stories. I tell my friends - take your kids young - they are free until they are three and they are only three if they have to be ;-). There is nothing more magical than seeing and experience Disney thru the eyes of a child.
Loved your story Demi!!! Please keep doing these “behind the scenes” with the team. You all are such great people and these bring us closer to getting to know you all. Peace and Pixie Dust to all!
I believe I applied to that posting also. While I would have loved the opportunity, Deni has truly been an amazing addition to the shows and team. Her positivity and insight have been great since day one and I really enjoy reading her articles. I dig this series and look forward to learning more about the folks at The Dis...Also, if y'all ever need any sound design or podcast production help just let me know. ;)
Great show and and inspiring story. Deni - you truly love WDW even though at times (lately), it's challenging. Wish the Disney executives felt the same way. Your story about going to WDW when your son was two, reminded me that we went to Disney around 2006 with my daughter, her husband and our grandson when he was two. He doesn't remember the trip but he had a blast when he was here.
I really appreciate deni’s perspective as a parent. Jackie as well. The combination of Craig, Ryno, Jackie, and Deni is really great and Craig has really matured as a host in this show. This was a fabulous idea.

Deni is such a happy & enthusiastic person. I’m glad we got to hear her story.
I absolutely adore Deni and she deserves all her success 😍
Deni is so easy to listen to. She speaks with integrity and a deep seated love of all things Disney. It was lovely hearing her tell her story.
I just loved hearing Deni’s story.
Such a lovely story. I think we all agree that Demi has been the perfect addition to the Dis. I actually got a little emotional when she said “I think we have to move here” when she was on the plane back to Maryland. Love you, Deni!
Deni is always a bright light for me. Such a genuine and uplifting person, always brings a smile to myself. Thanks Deni!!
Deni's got this force of positivity to her & I always get happy when I see her.
Love love love Off the Rails! Deni thank you for sharing your story. We love you!!!

Deni's been such a great addition to the team. She seemed to fit in right away and I love her perspective on things.
I really enjoyed this episode and can’t wait to hear more Dis Team origin stories.
I loved hearing Deni’s story (and every Dis story!). You both are fabulous and are so appreciated and beloved!
Deni is my FAVORITE. Love her positivity.
And I greatly appreciate all of you connecting me with my happy place especially this the past year and a half. Thanks you all so much
Great story Deni. You are always so gracious and positive! Glad you're part of the Dis team.

Please say hi if you see us, RC! Thanks so much for watching. I hope that your trip to the Magic is wonderful!
Deni is amazing and has really added something wonderful to an already great channel.
I could have listened to Deni all day. Thank for sharing. Can’t wait to hear everyone’s story!
Love Deni & so glad theDis has her so we get to see & hear her talk about the Magic! She is a ray of sunshine! Love her articles, too!
Thank you, Katie Louise! Thanks a bunch for watching and reading! :)
Deni is such a gem, and I enjoyed hearing about her! I really want to give her a hug. She reminds me of my mother. 💚

Deni you are amazing in every episode!!!
"Inspirational quotes with Craig Williams."
Deni is my Disney Spirit guide!
Agreed! Either her or Corey Fiasconaro (sorry, I won’t call him Fiasco, because he is most definitely NOT a fiasco!)
I love this! Deni is so extremely inspirational for me. I remember having my first trip to WDW in 2011. I was a lifelong fan but did not get there until I was in my late 30’s. I cried on the plane ride home cause I just didn’t want to leave. That once in a lifetime trip was 10 years and 14 trips ago. I live in Chicago but one day I too would love to live the dream. Keep us the great work Deni!
Anyone getting serious James Lipton/ insides the actors studio vibes from Craig this episode? 🤣🤣🤣 love it.
I have been listening and watching the Dis for years and years. Deni has been the most wonderful and positive addition the the team! We love you Deni!
You are so kind! Thanks so much, and thank you for watching and listening! ❤️

Great to hear Deni's story! She is such a valued member of the DIS team!!
Love hearing the teams stories. Not only about how they came to work for the Dis, but also how/when the love for Disney started.
deni is by far my favorite addition to the team. loved hearing her story!
Thank you I love hearing your stories.
My love for Disney also came from my parents. That is what Disney is all about. Family, memories and so much emotion. I loved hearing your backstory.
❤️ Thank you for watching, Joanie!
This episode is so much hope & positivity that anything can happen if you let it. The embodiment of Deni. Thank you 🙂
And she always provides sensible and fair insights
Awesome DREAM story! Love Deni, period 😀

Great show and and inspiring story. Deni - you truly love WDW even though at times (lately), it's challenging. Wish the Disney executives felt the same way.
