Elizabeth is back (with a special guest appearance from daughter, Hope) to reminisce about her recent magical trip to Walt Disney World and their stay at Saratoga Springs Resort.  At the heart of this trip was a 10k race, but they also managed to get in some time by the pool, a couple trips over to Disney Springs, and some park time before they had to head home.

You may remember Elizabeth from her previous episode where she and her extended family visited WDW and Universal (and she and her husband had a date at Victoria and Albert’s). This time, she’s back to chat about her plans for her upcoming trip that will include a slightly smaller group of that extended family. While the family as a whole has park and resort time planned, this trip is really focused around the Disney Princess Half-Marathon Weekend because Elizabeth and her daughter, Hope, have a need for speed…and more medals!

Virginia welcomes long-time friend Bambi to the podcast!  Bambi is one of the biggest Disney fans (and so are her parents if you can’t guess by the name), so when the opportunity comes to sandwich a visit to Disneyland between work days on a long business trip, her answer will always be “yes”.  In addition to two park days, Bambi, her husband Michael, and niece Rachel, are planning to do the Walt Disney Studios Tour that is exclusive for D23 members.  The group is looking forward to soaking up all the magic and enjoying the DCA Food and Wine Festival.

Previous trip report guest Katie, of 2plus3travellers on both Instagram and YouTube, is back!  This experienced travel agent is planning to set sail with her family on their very first Disney Cruise, a 5-day Disney Cruise with visits to both Disney islands and including a Marvel Day at Sea. Planning a trip to Disney World is completely different than planning a cruise, so Katie takes us through everything there was to consider.  Before they get on board the ship, they are also planning to stop in Orlando for a night and will be spending a day enjoying the Festival of the Arts.
