We've officially been podcasting for one year! To celebrate, we're switching things up and answering your Disney questions. That's right, no trip recap this week. It's all about Derek and Madison diving into topics like what we'd do if we were CEO, Disney Cruise tips, our favorite movies, retirement plans, and so much more.

Today we welcome Zach from Small World Threads to the show!
