Disney magic doesn’t have to come with a sky-high price tag! In this episode of Rope Drop and Run, we’re sharing our Scale-Back Strategy—our ideas for spending less at Walt Disney World without sacrificing the experiences that make a Disney vacation so magical. From getting there and where you stay to park days, food, souvenirs, and those tempting Disney extras, we’re looking at where you can cut back, where it might be worth the splurge, and how a few smart choices can help stretch your Disney dollars further. Because sometimes, scaling back a little means you can make the magic happen a little more often!

In this special Father's Day episode of Rope Drop and Run, we sit down with our dad to reminisce about the Disney memories that started it all. From his first visit to Walt Disney World in the early 1970s to unforgettable family vacations, favorite attractions, beloved resorts, and the magical moments that turned our family into lifelong Disney fans, Dad shares stories that are funny, heartwarming, and full of nostalgia. Along the way, we reflect on the family traditions, Disney adventures, and even the running lessons that helped shape who we are today. Join us for a conversation about memories, magic, and the dad who introduced us to both Disney and running.

Happy Father's Day!
