We are back for 2025! Some of our friends recently went to Walt Disney World over the holiday break, and they are here to share their experiences. We had fun welcoming Lindsey, DJ and Anna to the show to discuss their pre-travel planning, time in the parks and much more! This was the first trip for Lindsey and DJ and the first trip that Anna brought her son. Hopefully this helps with your 2025 trips!
