  • A Night at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Episode 29

    It's officially spooky season at Walt Disney World, and Leanne is sharing all about her experience at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!


    We're talking about her night at the party, what she experienced, and her overall thoughts on this year's event. Whether you're heading to the party yourself or looking for helpful information to share with the clients you're sending, we're sharing plenty of firsthand thoughts along the way.


    Then, after our Top 3 favorites we're currently loving, the conversation takes a bit of an unexpected turn. We start chatting about the pressure that can come with working in the travel industry, how easy it is for our own vacations to start feeling like work, and even give a little preview of what's coming next as Torri gets ready to share about her experience on Celebrity Beyond.


    We didn't exactly plan that part... but some of our favorite conversations happen that way.

    Let's get into it.


    Top 3:

    1. Walmart+

  • Random Thoughts: Vacation Plans, Luggage Updates & a Little Catching Up, Episode 28

    Sometimes we have a topic.... and sometimes we just need to catch up.


    In this episode, we're doing exactly that! Torri shares what's coming up on her own vacation, we have a little follow-up to Leanne's European luggage saga, and, as tends to happen when we sit down to chat, we bounce around through a little bit of everything along the way.


    And when it's time for our usual Top 3 favorites we're currently loving? Apparently three wasn't enough this week, so consider this one more of a Top 4-or-more-ish.


    It's casual, it's a little random, and that's kind of the point.


    Let's get into it.

    Of course, after everything this European adventure threw their way, there are still a few more stories to tell.


    As always, we'll wrap things up with our Top 3 favorites we're currently loving.

    Then, just as the conversation turns to the resort and Leanne promises to give her honest thoughts, we leave you with a cliffhanger.

  • From Venice to the Disney Dream: Leanne's European Adventure, Episode 25

    After finally making it to Europe (if you listened to Episodes 23 and 24, you know that was an adventure all on its own!), it's time for the fun part.


    In this episode, Leanne takes us through the land portion of her European vacation, sharing her experiences exploring Venice, Florence, Rome, and everything in between before boarding her Disney Cruise through the Greek Isles. From transportation and accommodations to guided tours and the little moments that stood out along the way, she's sharing what the experience was really like.


    And don't worry, lots of great gluten free recommendations too!

  • Everything That Could Go Wrong Continues, Episode 24

    The story isn't over yet...

    If you haven't listened to Episode 23 yet, you'll want to start there first! In Part 2, Leanne picks up where she left off, sharing everything that happened as her family attempted to make it back home from Europe.

    From unexpected twists to moments that had us laughing (now that it's over), this journey continued to prove that sometimes travel has other plans.

    As always, we'll wrap things up with our Top 3 favorites we're currently loving.

  • Everything That Could Go Wrong: The Journey to Europe, Episode 23

    Leanne's back from Europe and finally ready to tell the story... and trust us, it couldn't fit into just one episode.

    If something could go wrong with her flights (short of anything truly serious), it did. Delays, surprises, unexpected twists... this trip had it all.

    In Part 1, she's taking us from the start of her trip all the way to getting ready to head home. You'll have to come back next week for Part 2, where somehow... things continue.

    You know what to expect: plenty of laughter, a wide range of emotions, and just the right amount of sarcasm as she relives the adventure. Honestly, if someone pitched this as a movie script, we'd probably say it was a little unrealistic. Until we lived it.

    Let's get into it.
