WDW Prep To Go - a Disney World planning podcast

Cameron and Holly traveled March 25–April 6 with their daughters from Minneapolis to London, Disneyland Paris, and Paris, covering major sights, food experiences, and a women's Arsenal vs. Tottenham match before taking the Eurostar to France. They balanced theme parks and cultural highlights—Disneyland rides and shows, iconic Paris landmarks, a baking class, and metro travel—while noting heavy crowds at Frozen areas, slow dining, and the need to arrive early for airport queues on the return via Dublin.

In this episode, I chat with Krysta about her sisters-only land and sea trip that combined Disney World and a Disney Cruise on the Fantasy. They stayed at the BoardWalk, used Lightning Lanes at EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom, and sailed to Lookout Cay and Nassau with plenty of adult-area time and a Remy's brunch. We break down what worked, what surprised them, and what they'd do again. Links:
