How I came to start WDWPrepSchool.com – PREP038

Two years ago, my husband asked what I wanted to do for Mother’s Day and I said I wanted to launch a Disney World website.

In this podcast, I talk about how I came to finally start this site after years of wanting to do it.

Quick tip of the day

Although it sounds cliche, following your passion is ultimately what will lead you to do what you’re best at and will be much less of a struggle than doing things you shouldn’t be doing.
