Congratulations to Deni

[Obi-J Kenobi]

I'm going to miss her family oriented view of things. Who will they get to replace her?

No one can replace Deni.

 

[Carlnne]

WOW! Deni will def be hard to replace!!

 

[Phdmama06]

Congratulations Deni on your new position at Give Kids the World. I have no doubt in my mind that you're going to be a very successful shining light at GKTW, as you have been at The Dis.

You will be greatly missed, and I may or may not have shed a tear when I saw your goodbye announcement on YouTube. But I'm so incredibly happy and excited for you and your upcoming adventures!

 

[Jacksterisk]

I'm so happy for Deni, and so pleased for GKTW because their incredible cause is only going to be strengthened by such a wonderful addition. But I'm selfishly so cut up about this one! Deni has been such a joy to watch these last few years and has been a real force of compassion and light in our household. She brings brilliant perspective and poise to conversations and she's also been a warrior for issues that often go unaddressed on these shows. I can't wait to see what comes next for you and GKTW, Deni, and our Tuesday's aren't going to be the same without you!

 

[KingLlama]

The best thing about Deni is that SHE GETS IT.

 

[Morieris]

...Wait, she's leaving? Well, at least we won't have to speculate, and she's moving on to something that's wonderfully important and still works closely with the Dis.

I remember a few years ago when she took some personal time and Pete said "No, Deni is still with us, because there would be a riot from the viewers if she wasn't." He knew, but I wish her nothing but the best!

 

[ArielDreams]

Best of luck Deni! I’m a more recent podcast listener (~2 years) and you are absolutely one of the reasons I became hooked on the Dis. Sounds like a wonderful opportunity.

Although she stopped posting about these, y Saturday snacks are going to be so boring now. I was hoping she would bring them back

 

[butterscotchcollins]

Congratulations to Deni, and I will echo the sentiment that she will be GREATLY missed!!! I def shed a tear at her announcement, what a gut punch. My favorite thing about listening to her was how effortlessly eloquent she always was! What a treasure of a human being. GKTW is getting a good one

 

[oohykitten]

Welp. This sucks for us. Have to say in the last few years Deni’s tone, has been refreshing. I can’t think of a better human to work for GKTW though. This is like loosing Jackie. This is one will hurt.

 

[Ariel-Rocks]

Congrats Deni on your new adventure at GKTW. I couldn't think of a better fit for you. You are always so kind and the families are going to love you. Take care and enjoy your new role at GKTW.

 

[GAN]

Congratulations Deni on your new role! I loved your content, your smile, and your energy -sincere thanks for sharing it with us over the last few years. No better person could help spread the important story of GKTW! You are LEGEND.....

 

[TheDisneyMagic]

Congratulations on the new role at Give Kids the World Deni, really going to miss you on the shows and hopefully you can come back and guest star every so often.

 

[SorcererHeidi]

Good luck, health, and happiness in your new role, Deni. GKTW's gain is truly our loss. But if it makes YOU happy and fulfilled, go for it!

 

[fly girl]

Her departure was a big shock to hear. However, she will be a beautiful addition for for a wonderful organization.

Sad for us, happy for her and GKTW. All the best to Deni!

 

[pirate33]

All my best to you Deni. I really enjoy your kind spirit and energy coupled with your commentary that always has a positive tone but doesn’t pull punches. Not an easy balance to achieve! I was hoping to meet you on the podcast cruise next year (I wasn’t able to attend this year due to scheduling issues).

 

[Sydnerella]

Deni is clearly loved by many - her candid yet usually eloquent and always tactful Disney feedback and critiques have been appreciated since Day 1. “The whole nine yards!” Just as much as I have valued her enthusiasm and genuine respect and appreciation for the Magic and people who make it.

Her frequent presence as a host and takes as a typical more middle class mom of a similar age to many in your audience including me was a breath of fresh air on a male and non parent heavy set of channels. It brought “balance to the force” so to speak. And as much as I enjoy all the team’s perspectives as they’re often different and funny, I do appreciate having the variety of more women and moms mixed in more often. Don’t leave us Jackie and Elaine - we need you! We miss Julie but totally get it! And welcome to Erika!

Deni will be missed and is certain to be a light in many people’s days at GKTW. Best wishes to you and hopefully your heart is as big as it seems to fit at those kids you will be helping to support

Tate says hi and good luck - and enjoy some goodbye cookies too!

 

[cvg813]

Deni will most certainly be missed. This is such a great role for her though and super excited for her future. Hopefully she will still make some appearances on the show in someway.

 

[chekhovgirl]

I will miss hearing you and your perspective and feeling your energy, Deni! I aspire to be like you! Congratulations and enjoy your new role!

 

[teruterubouzu]

Congratulations, Deni. The Dis won’t be the same without you.
