From start to finish, she planned what might be the perfect family Disney trip, and she's sharing all the details with us. We talk about how she maximized the Disney Dining Plan, enjoyed some amazing character meals, strategically used Lightning Lanes, and invested in PhotoPass so Mom could actually be in the family photos instead of always taking them. She even hired a professional photographer for a beautiful family photo session at their resort. As a special bonus, we also got the chance to ride Jungle Cruise with Michaela and her family during their trip! This episode is packed with planning tips, Disney magic, and plenty of fun family memories. If you're dreaming about your next Walt Disney World vacation, you won't want to miss this one.

DTR 80: Our Walt Disney World Trip Report: Meeting Listeners, Top of the World Fireworks, Buzz Lightyear Review, Big Thunder Mountain & More Disney Magic

After our van was stolen, we found ourselves buried in insurance paperwork and stress. Instead of sitting around waiting for answers, we decided to do something we love, we booked a quick trip to Walt Disney World. For 2½ days, we went all in. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Patreon supporters and friends who hosted us, we were able to make the trip happen. We packed in as much Disney magic as possible, including rides on the updated Buzz Lightyear attraction, Big Thunder Mountain, and plenty more favorites. One of the highlights was getting to meet so many listeners throughout the trip. We also celebrated a delayed anniversary and finally crossed a bucket-list experience off our list: watching the fireworks from Top of the World Lounge and enjoying the Wicked Wind Down. It was a whirlwind trip filled with friendship, Disney magic, and some much-needed time together. Hear all about our late anniversary adventure on this week's episode!
