Heather is excited to report on her recent trip to Walt Disney World she took with her mom and her two kids, Vivian and Ethan. They had the pleasure of attending the very first Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party of the year along with four full days of park fun. While things didn’t go exactly according to plan, they had a lot of magic along the way, proving that being able to pivot and go with the flow (as Crush likes to say) is probably the best Disney skill to have!

They had a wonderful time in both the Disney and Universal portions of their stay, but also got to see a lot of the country and culture of Japan.

The Polynesian looked perfect on paper - but after their stay, Kim and her husband Tom will be looking for other options for their next visit after some real customer service let downs. Listeners can expect an honest conversation about Kim’s experience that did not live up to the expectations all of us have when it comes to staying in a Disney resort…especially at a deluxe price. But not to worry, this isn’t all complaints! Kim and Tom had a magical week that proves the best vacations are the ones that leave room for flexibility, good food, and a little people-watching.

Kim is planning a trip to celebrate her and her husband Tom’s 10th wedding anniversary! After Tom said he would really like to stay at the Polynesian, she decided to make it happen. What Tom doesn’t know, is that instead of being a triple split stay between the Polynesian Resort, the Polynesian Tower, and Coronado Springs, Kim has made a sneaky switch-a-roo for this to be only split between both sides of the Polynesian. They will have two days of park time, so much of their week will be spent visiting other resorts, heading to Disney Springs, and enjoying some rest and relaxation at the pool, which they don’t usually do. The perfect plan to celebrate 10 years!
