Disneyland Trip Recap: Part 3

This week, I’m wrapping up Day 3 of my family's very first Disneyland adventure. If you've ever felt the pressure to map out the "perfect" family vacation, consider this your official reminder that even professional travel advisors can't do it all—and that’s okay! Here is the honest scoop on what we’re talking about today: * The Sunday Morning Reality Check: How to avoid the morning rush * A Dose of 90s Nostalgia: The unexpected Disney World throwback that had me getting a little teary-eyed at Mickey’s PhilharMagic * The Ultimate Carbs & Characters Mission: How I successfully hunted down San Fransokyo sourdough, a cinnamon roll macaron, and a meeting with Baymax (who tried to steal my backpack, naturally). * Splitting up to Conquer: Why force anything; splitting up is the best option for everyone * The Magic is in the Details: Why Disneyland’s local, laid-back vibe and roaming characters make the nighttime parade vibe completely differently than Walt Disney World. Grab your headphones, hit play while you fold that mountain of laundry or run your errands, and let’s talk Disney magic! This episode is sponsored by Fantastical Vacations by Hollie.
