Umbrellas, sunscreen, chargers? Don't expect to see any of that nonsense in this very theme park specific "what to pack" travel episode. Everyone knows about the basics, but it's the unexpected items I tow along that make my Disney trips easier, reliable and comfortable.

Take it from me, a woman who spent two days thinking about what to bring on her two-day trip to Walt Disney World! From my sleep musts to the random thing I could barely even find a link for, enjoy this peek inside a neurotic theme park journalist's suitcase (which this week, thankfully, was a carry-on!)

So much Disneyland and Disney World news has *boop* come out and *bloop* disappeared and we gotta TALK about some of this stuff! I counted 32 new things, to be exact?!!???! Because what I lack in accurately counting I make up for in giving you ALL my MANY THOUGHTS on all these rAnDoM bits of Disney Parks news!!!

Truly, there has been so many in the last few weeks that even *i* missed a few! Huge merchandise news?! Disney entertainment reveals?! Disney World ride closures and Disneyland ride upgrades!? Entertainment, parades, show offerings, merchandise and yes, DUFFY — all of it will be discussed this week.

And maybe discuss isn't even the right word...some of these Disney entertainment and park announcements?! Incredible! Love it! Others?! Well...to say i pop off more than once in this episode is an understatement.

Come one, come all, to see the overly passionate woman share her honest thoughts about every change, announcement, news item, store opening, restaurant opening and ride closure coming to Disneyland and Walt Disney World this summer!

it's finally here!!! (even though, as you'll soon hear, i was 100% convinced this episode already existed as it just languished in my documents waiting to be recorded. oopsies!)

This one's got my BEST tips and tricks and hacks for visiting Walt Disney World with infants, babies and toddlers. And I'd know because...I've lived through it all!

This one could truly be a novel, but i streamlined all my Disney transportation thoughts and theme park reminders for you in a convenient little must-know tip list. Easy peasy! Enjoy!

It's been THREE YEARS since we discussed my favorite Walt Disney World restaurants (!!) And, since I'm gearing up for a super quick trip in April, I wanted to gleefully share my favorite sit-down restaurants across WDW parks and hotels!

Get ready for a bunch of incredible Epcot restaurants, a few sleeper hits and a location you will NOT BELIEVE made the list over so many others...!

Come hungry (and with a snack honestly...there are so many of the best Disney foods ahead!!)

I just got back from three nights on the Disney Wonder and have sOoO much to share with you! Could a sailing on Disney's second-oldest ship to a bunch of ports I wasn't excited about *really* be one for the memory books?! From my thoughts on Tiana's Place restaurant and sailing out of San Diego to my major Disney Cruise Line critique that could really change the travel experience, tune in to hear all of it!!!

This week we're going deep into ALL The Disney Cruise Line tips, tricks and advice that you'll want to know before sailing. Because of course, there's the basics, but only a friend will tell you about the secret Disney Princess character activity's easy-to-miss 30 day booking window and why you don't need to pack seasickness medicine and the unexpected item you will NEED for your final morning and SO MUCH MORE!

Why this week!? Well, your girl is going on a Disney Cruise and...kind of goofed on everything (oops?!) So, heed her warnings, do as she says and not as she does, and you will be golden. (Seriously. She...made some mistakes lol)

SPEAKING OF -- I forgot to tell you about Future Cruise Onboard Booking Offers in this episode. (See?! The most forgetful trip ever!!!) You'll save 10% by putting a "placeholder" down for future sailings. (And who wouldn't want to do Disney Cruise Line again!?)

We've got a lot of theme park *schtuff* in the next few weeks, so I thought I'd just yap with you all about all the other things I usually talk about on Instagram but never really discuss here! Let me convince you to watch Severance in a Taylor Swift posture bra please!!!! And talk about how jeans have changed?!?! And the "chore television" I can't quit but also somewhat recommend in varying degrees?) See?! So much to discuss!

Oh we are getting iNTO it this week on Very Amusing with my jaunt down to Orlando for Muppet Prom, the unofficial goodbye party for Muppets Courtyard before it goes away later this year.

Come for my exceedingly unhinged thoughts about murphy beds, buttercream frosting and gondola transportation, stay for my first-hand tale of the night Magic Kingdom's many rides went down!
