Shauna just traveled from Australia to Disney World for a trip with her family. Hear how it went.

I also have a quick tip about something handy to park in your park bag.

Quick tip of the day

Emailed from Kristen B.:
“I know you suggest bringing a towel in your park bag to dry off seats after rain or claim your spot at a parade.

As an alternative to a bath or hand towel that might be bulky, Turkish towels are a great idea.

They’re super absorbent, but take up a lot less room even thought they are large.

Bonus, they dry pretty fast, too!

They can be on the expensive side, but I have found them on sale on Etsy or Amazon for as little as $10.”

    She mentioned a place she sat during the garden view dessert party… do we have details on where that was? I’d love to know
    I’m catching up on my podcasts now that we are planning another trip. These are the BEST

    I’m “binge-casting” and just listened to this one on my way to work this morning- OMG it was my favorite!! I love the accent, the flexibility, how sweet Shauna sounds when she speaks about her parents and Campbell and ALL of the ways that planned and executed this trip! Thank you so much for all you do–love love the site and especially the pod casts. I’ve been 8 times and taking my husband on a 50th birthday trip (first time adults only trip) in May and have learned so much from you! Great work!!

    This was one of my absolute favorites!

    I am from Australia, and would love to be in touch with Sauna as I am planning a similar trip!! Does she have social media links?

  5. Liz January 7, 2019 Reply

    I loved this podcast, I enjoy listening on a regular basis but this was far the best for Australian audience such as myself. I have been very lucky to go to WDW in 2017 and I am hoping to plan another trip with family. I have thought about getting a USA base to organise our trip because it is not the same when using Australia base travel agents who have no access to direct deals. I understand going for 5 weeks is great. Last time we were away for 5 weeks. I wished we had more than 5 days in Orlando. Thank you for this wonderful report.

    Loaded with great information, but my biggest take away is that planning is completely worthwhile – but so is being willing to change plans when needed. You actually end up way ahead when things go “wrong” because you have a better understanding of how to re-work your plans and prioritize what your options are.

    Thanks for taking the time to do these. It is easily my favorite thing on the site.

    One of my favorite podcasts. Thanks

I just got back from a five night stay at Coronado Springs and had the best time! Even though I went during the busy season I barely waited in any lines and was able to do everything I wanted!

New “EARidescent” decor coming for the 18-mont New “EARidescent” decor coming for the 18-month long 50th celebration that officially begins on October 1.

Colorful outfits for Mickey and Minnie (do you like them better than the previous confetti version?), embellishments on Cinderella Castle, plus projections on the other park icons have been announced so far.

Was hoping for more, but I suspect they’ll be dripping the info out as they learn more about how things are going safety-wise.

What are your thoughts? Will you be making a trip for the 50th? We will!

Swipe to see all of the announcement pics. ➡️
