Virginia and Jeanette are planning another girls’ trip, this time to enjoy the Flower and Garden Festival at EPCOT.

Morgan and her family are annual passholders at Walt Disney World and are planning a triple split stay at All-Star Sports, Beach Club, and The Polynesian. They are planning to balance the craziness of switching resorts with plenty of pool time and naps while also utilizing the tools available to make their wait times more maneagable through lighting lanes and taking advantage of Standby Skipper. While they may get to the parks more often than most, they love that there’s always something new to try.

Anna is planning a trip with her family of four from Scotland to Walt Disney World in honor of their 20th wedding anniversary. On their last visit to Orlando, they stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter, so this time, they are looking forward to giving Riverside a try. They will have the 14 day tickets available to U.K. residents which includes park hopping, the waterparks and minigolf, as well as Memory Maker. They are also looking forward to trying the Quick Service Dining Plan!

Chris (aka @Trumpet_Squid on all the socials, IYKYK) is back on the podcast, this time to chat about his upcoming trip. While Chris and his family have cruised before, this will be their first sailing on Disney Cruise Line and it’s truly a “wish” come true. Before they embark, they will spend one night at All-Star Sports and upon returning, will enjoy two nights at Coronado Springs. They are looking forward to visiting both of Disney’s private islands, exploring the ship, hopefully dominating at trivia, and encouraging their son to spend some time in the kids club so they can get some relaxation in.
