54. We Took a Last-Minute Trip to Disney — And Here’s What Happened
In this episode, Andrea and Kristin share the real story of what happens when a family who can’t plan more than three weeks ahead decides to take on Disney World?
No perfect itineraries, no Pinterest-worthy plans—just honest reflections on spontaneity, overstimulation, and what actually makes a vacation worth it with little kids.
Listen now for a judgment-free, real-life look at the magic, the meltdowns, and everything in between.
In This Episode:
⏳ 00:00 – Impromptu trips, sugar overload, and surviving with three young kids
⏳ 03:00 – Why Disney World feels magical for kids—and commercial for adults
⏳ 08:00 – Planning ahead vs. showing up and winging it: What we’d do differently next time
⏳ 13:00 – Teaching kids about money, limits, and how to handle “wanting it all” at Disney
⏳ 18:00 – SeaWorld reflections: childhood wonder with grown-up awareness
⏳ 26:00 – Theme parks vs. real-world travel: Is manufactured magic still valuable?
⏳ 31:00 – Why the fair might beat Disney for ride-loving kids (and parents who hate lines)
⏳ 34:00 – What really matters: making memories even when the experience isn’t perfect
⏳ 38:00 – Our thoughts on water parks, local adventures, and saving the “big” trips for later
