In this episode Host Steph shares life updates, starting with her grandmother'w passing during her April Disneyland trip with Donna and that grief and a busy run of back-to-back visits have made her consider scaling back or changing the podcast due to the time required for editing and social media. She then recaps Disney Channel Night on April 12 with her family. They ate at Hungry Bear, met fellow podcaster Lynn Baron and his wife Erin, rode Rise of the Resistance, and experienced heavy crowds, fast-sold-out merchandise, and an extremely long line for the Disney Channel wand photo op that Makayla, Jordan, and Lewis waited in nearly all night. Steph’s group rode multiple attractions (including firsts for Charlie on Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan), saw Rapunzel and a loud Phineas and Ferb dance party. Steph also gives her opinion on the event and closes with some final thoughts about the podcast.

Steph recaps day one of a two-day Disneyland trip with Angel and Lindsay for the “70 Years of Favorites” After Dark event.
