This week on the podcast I chat with Disney World and travel author, journalist, and travel writer, Susan Veness. We covered a lot of topics in just an hour. We talked about her new book Disney World Hacks: 2nd Edition (which just dropped in book stores). We talk her history with Disney parks. Plus how she gets her behind the scenes “secrets.” And of course, I pick her brain about all of her amazing Disney World Hacks.

We chat Disney and Sea World. She shares her experience on the Keys to the Kingdom Tour at Magic Kingdom. We talk about her typical go-go-go type trips vs a more laid back approach this time around.
We cover a lot of great stuff!

That’s exactly the situation Krissy finds herself in with her soon to be husband.
On this weeks podcast Krissy and I chat about her most recent trip to Disney World. While she’s a frequent visitor, her fiancé Peter is not. In fact, he isn’t in to Disney. At all.
Krissy and I discuss her trip as well as mistakes she made when planning for a non-Disney person. Listen to her trip report, and learn how to plan the BEST trip for that reluctant non-Disney person in your life!

🎙️🎧This week on the podcast I chat with return guest, Alison!
What’s changed since her last trip? Her baby is now a toddler, her son is tall enough to ride so much more, and they managed to book a last minute trip for SIX PEOPLE on a budget.
The first half of her trip includes Epcot and drinking around the world 🍹🌎 Be sure to check out the show notes for the groups drink ratings ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The second half is Magic Kingdom magic… and road trip chaos that you won’t believe 🤯
Thanks to your feedback I’m splitting longer episodes in to two parts. This will hopefully help you planners out there go back and re-listen to your favorite tips! Don’t worry… both parts are released at the same time.

Our first stop on this trip was Universal with a stay at Cabana Bay Resort 🏄 For a value resort, this one can’t be beat. Amazing 50’s surfer theming. Standard rooms, suites, and interior or exterior entry rooms are all options. Which means lots of price points. But even the suites are insanely reasonable! Plus tons of recreation. There’s two pools (one with a water slide and the other a lazy river), an arcade, a bowling alley, and a malt shoppe. Such a great value and a fun resort 😍
At Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights we celebrated the holidays in style. Aaaaaand we walked over 21,000 steps EACH NIGHT. So my @thighsociety shorties were a lifesaver as always! The chafing is real at Disney and these are my secret weapon. It was hot on my party day (thanks Orlando 😅) so I went with The Cooling shorties. But I’m also a huge fan of The Cargo shorties since they have a pocket for my phone. Why every dress doesn’t have pockets is beyond me. But these solve that problem!! Find a link in my stories so you can look festive and stay comfortable!
The new Holidays in Hollywood show at Jollywood Nights. Super cute. Hosted by the muppets and featuring Tiana, Belle, Mickey and Minnie. Cute holiday fun 🤩
I’ve updated my guide for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. Including a map of character meets found at the party. Plus I’ve posted a BONUS podcast episode LIVE from the party. I’ll post links in stories or search Double Your WDW 🎃👻
I got in line at 5:30pm. They let us inside at 6:10pm. The dwarfs came out at 6:15pm. I met them and took photos at 6:55pm. Yes. That’s a long wait. BUUUUT you won’t find all 7 dwarfs meeting together anywhere else. Plus I didn’t miss a minute of actual party time! And let’s not forget… they haven’t had a meet since 2019!!

It took me *forever* to build… but I finally finished my 1988 Disney Main Street play set.

Here is a Tron POV ride video. Keep in mind phones MUST be put away securely on the ride. I filmed this using a DJI Osmo Action camera and chest strap. I was lucky enough to be seated in the front row on this ride (thank you to the cast member who assigned me that spot!!). The ride is a lot of fun. I rode 3 times and each ride photo I have a giant smile on my face! If you’re wondering… the ride photo is taken at ride launch 📸😆
This week on the podcast, I had a guest unlike any I’ve had before. 10 year old Addy (and her mom, Emily) get us excited about Disney alllll over again by letting us see the parks through a kids eyes. We talk about her recent visit, tips for kids her age and younger at the parks, EVERYTHING you could want to know about Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, and how kids can help with the planning.

The Lion King is the best show I’ve seen in a while. And I see show’s regularly so that’s saying something. Beautiful from beginning to end. Young Simba had me in tears. The puppets were gorgeous. Sets were stunning. I’ve seen two other Disney Broadway shows… they don’t even come close to this one. If you have the opportunity to see this one DO IT!! #disneyslionking #lionkingmusical #lionkingbroadwayshow #lionkingbroadway #cadillacpalacetheatre #broadwayinchicago
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🥰🎅🏼 #mickeysverymerrychristmasparty #disneyfireworks #disneyholiday #disneyworldchristmas #disneychristmas #christmasparty #christmasfireworks #magickingdom #magickingdomfireworks #waltdisneyworld
