Lydia’s husband wasn’t looking forward to their first family Disney World trip, and now they’re considering becoming Disney Vacation Club owners. Hear about that in today’s trip report podcast.
I also have a quick tip on catching a special performance at Magic Kingdom.

I would love to know the Tinkerbell gifts you gave to your teenage son. The struggle is real :)

I love these trip reports but I think more realistic trip reports would be good like our trip which we learned all about Disney First aid and how they check for concussions and send you the the doctor for ear infections.

Hi Shannon! I heard Lydia mention during the podcast that they were on the deluxe dining plan and that children are no longer required to eat only off of the children's menu at table service restaurants. We are heading out on our first Disney vacation at the beginning of June and we have a child with dietary restrictions and a 9 yr old that would prefer a larger meal. Any confirmation on the ability to order from the adult menu at all restaurants? This would be great for our family since the children's menu selections seem to be very limited at many restaurants. Thanks!
