One of the biggest pieces of news to drop in the past few months is that Disney Dining Plans are back in 2024 for bookings from January 9, 2024 and forward. In the past the dining plans have been a great way to get that "all-inclusive" feel at Disney knowing most, if not all, of your food has already been paid for.
In this episode, we will talk about how they work and take a look to see if they are worth it.

One of the key questions or tips when going to a theme park is what do I bring with me. It is not as easy as one might think. For some, the question may be do I bring a bag at all?
In this show, we are going to cover all of the above and get super practical. For the majority of guests at Disney and Universal Theme Parks, they bring a bag. So what should we put in it? How do we pack light, but make sure we are prepared? What if I am there with my young kids and I just have a lot of stuff I have to bring? Tune in and we will answer all of these questions and more!

The recent news that has dropped in the laps of many Disney cast members has not been good and has been life-altering in many ways. The 28,000ish cast members that no longer have jobs with Disney are wonderful people who made some incredible memories as cast members and helped make some incredible magic happen for countless guests.
In this episode, we take a look back and share some stories on how those cast members made magic. It is my (John's) hope that his episode will be an encouragement to you, whether you are a Disney cast member, Disney fanatic, or you just happen to stumble across this little show :-).

Trips and vacations serve a variety of purposes, but one thing they all have in common, regardless of the destination or time spent at said destination, is the fact that memories are created. Things happy that will give you the ability to look back fondly and experience those important bonds again. For me (John), the previous couple of sentences are why traveling debt-free is a necessity.
There are a bunch of ways to help make this happen and we will go over a lot of them in this episode. We hope that this super-practical tips will add some value to your vacation planning experience! Let me know what you think! Feel free to reach out to me via any of the methods below!

Yes, there are no "rides" per se, but there are many attractions to enjoy, characters to see and more! So next time you walk in the park, stop, pause, take in all in, grab a castle photo and look for something new!
