Matt and Chip break down the newest changes at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, how to plan park days around Christmas parties, whether MultiPass is still worth it during holiday hours, the best free Christmas activities for families, what crowds look like the week between Christmas and New Years, and how to prepare for Florida’s unpredictable winter weather.

If you want real, practical advice from two dads who do this every week, this is the episode to watch.

In today’s episode, you will learn:

What Disney removed, what the new packages include, and whether the experience is still worth it for girl dads in 2026.

How to plan around Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights, which days have the lowest wait times, and how to avoid the biggest holiday mistakes.

What that price spike really means for families and the future of line skipping in the parks.

Why wait times are out of control, why Express Pass is becoming essential, and the simple mistake that ruins most first time visits.

Resort decorations, gingerbread houses, the Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll, and how to meet Santa without a park ticket.

The temperature swings that surprise most families, what to pack, and the simple trick that prevents an emergency trip to Disney Springs for clothes.
