So What... I’m a Millennial!

We have A LOT of Disney to unpack this week! 🏰🚢✨

Michaelle is back from her Disney vacation at Walt Disney World AND aboard the Disney Wish... but did the Disney magic actually live up to the hype? She’s sharing her very honest Disney World and Disney Cruise Line review, from rainy park days and missed rides to Disney Wish dining, Castaway Cay, cruise entertainment, and the moments that left her wondering if Craig may have overhyped the Disney Cruise experience. 😂

Craig compares Michaelle’s Disney Wish vacation to his experience aboard the Disney Treasure, and we debate whether a Disney Cruise is actually worth the price, how long your first Disney Cruise should be, and what makes the Disney Cruise Line experience feel so magical.

Meanwhile, Craig is recording LIVE from Hurricane Lala in Hawaiʻi while D23 2026 is happening! We break down the biggest Disney news and announcements, including Villains Land, the Maleficent coaster, Tomorrowland’s reimagining, Monsters, Inc. land, new Indiana Jones, Lilo & Stitch 2, Romy and Michele 2, and more.

And somehow we end up talking about Disney Cruise ship godmothers!

If you’re a Disney Adult, Disney Parks fan, Disney Cruise Line fan, millennial, or just love Disney news and pop culture, this episode is for you!

Craig and Michelle deliver a playful ASMR-style episode packed with millennial moments: a frustrating cracked windshield and insurance hassles, the small joys of delivered packages, and the relief of canceled meetings.

In soft whispers they trade confessions, gadget talk (like Oura rings), theme-park updates, music drops, and everyday rants that make this episode funny, relatable, and oddly soothing.

In Episode 44, Craig and Michaelle catch up on a whirlwind few weeks filled with milestone moments, travel adventures, and plenty of unexpected tangents. The conversation covers Michaelle’s 40th birthday and career change, Craig’s five-year anniversary living in Hawaiʻi and first social media sponsorship, plus highlights from a recent trip to Japan and Tokyo DisneySea. From Disney parks and future cruise plans to orthopedic shoes, viral videos, and the realities of getting older, this episode is a mix of travel stories, life updates, and the kind of conversations that can only happen between longtime friends.

Craig and Michelle catch up after vacations, recapping their Disneyland and Vegas trips: Lightning Lane passes, long lines, closed rides like Pirates and Tiana, celebrity sightings, and merch hauls (including Stony Clover and Muppet plushes).

They also talk about expensive travel, late check-ins, shows at Sphere and Cirque du Soleil in Vegas, family dynamics on trips, and try a viral TikTok ‘supportive’ challenge to wrap up the episode. Did we mention Craig met James Taylor? 

This week on So What, I’m a Millennial, Craig and Mish catch up after a few chaotic weeks of adulting, allergies, birthdays, broken refrigerators, and Disney trip countdown panic. From discussing Disneyland grad nights and Tokyo Disney plans to debating whether Michael Jackson was ever truly “cancelled,” the duo spiral through everything from aging bodies and numb legs to freezer meat disasters and Disney cruise obsessions.

They also open up about grief, complicated family dynamics after loss, and the emotional reality of getting older while trying to stay connected to the people who matter most. Plus: Manapua’s DNA results are finally in… and Craig learns his “lab mix” puppy is actually a giant sheepdog-pitbull combo in disguise.

A chaotic mix of nostalgia, oversharing, Disney adult energy, and millennial existentialism — just the way we like it.

In this episode of So What, I’m a Millennial, Craig and Michaelle reunite after a hectic stretch of life to catch up on everything from lingering cruise obsessions and work burnout to the surreal feeling of time flying as they approach their 40s. Their candid, often hilarious conversation dives into aging, perimenopause, and the unfiltered realities of being an adult, balanced with lighter moments like Craig’s experience adopting his new puppy, Manapua, and navigating early pet parenthood. Along the way, they weave in pop culture—from Celine Dion’s return to revisiting Titanic as adults, to sharing thoughts on Justin Bieber at Coachella—making this episode a mix of real talk, nostalgia, and chaotic, relatable millennial energy.

Michaelle and Craig catch up after a big trip covering a Disney Treasure Cruise on the Disney Cruise Line: itinerary highlights, Castaway Cay excursions, the Moana Broadway-style show, bingo wins, spa deals, and practical tips for first-time cruisers (boarding shuttles, fish extenders, packing, MagicBands).

The episode also covers Disney World after-hours, park strategies like rope drop and Lightning Lanes, a quick New York detour that included a blizzard, Broadway rush tickets to see Death Becomes Her, TV studio visits, and celebrity encounters with Andy Cohen and Sherri Shepard.

Overall this is a conversational travel recap full of honest reactions, money-saving tips, and small travel hacks to make the most of theme parks, cruises, and short city stops.

Two hosts catch up for early 2026—celebrating the New Year, sharing a frightening foggy drive, and coping with the recent loss of Kaylie, Craig's beloved dog.

They talk reading habits, small goals, and influencer wins (including a viral kitchen video and K‑beauty PR), plus upcoming travel plans: a cruise, New York studio tickets, and festival/concert wish lists.

*This episode is dedicated to Kaylie (December 24, 2025)*

Hosts Craig and Mitch trade candid year-end reflections on seasonal burnout, family stress, nostalgia, and pop-culture distractions as they prepare for the holidays.

They riff on divas, theme-park memories, reading habits, travel plans for 2026, and life changes ahead while mixing humor with honest talk about aging, adoption, and self-care.

This week, Craig and Mitch break down Wicked: For Good — a visually stunning return to Oz that still struggles to deliver a memorable second act. They also dive into seasonal pop culture: Shakira’s latest hit, Christina Aguilera’s “Christmas in Paris,” the ongoing reign of Mariah Carey, and Netflix’s major acquisition of Warner Bros. Finally, they put millennial holiday nostalgia to the test with a spirited Christmas Movie This or That.
