This week we’re joined by Chris, aka DCL Cruising Dad, to talk about the Magic that is Disney Cruise Line. No, literally, he recently went on the Magic for the first time in a long time and was excited to share all about it. She may be the oldest ship in the Disney fleet, but she still offers an amazing vacation to her guests, and this cruise featured a stop a DCL’s newest destination - Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

Evidently, in spooky season VIP tours turn into RIP tours at Universal Studios theme parks. This week, in honor of the holiday this week, we’re talking about Alicea’s evening at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights where she, Sterling, Kaitlyn, and a good friend Sanae enjoyed the RIP Tour. They got quick access to all the haunted houses, a meal and snacks, some special tour-only surprises, and generally had a frighteningly good time.

Sometimes your vacations don’t go exactly as planned. Sometimes the plan is completely thrown out the window, which is what happened to us in March of 2020 on the Disney Wonder’s westbound Panama Canal cruise. BUT if you think that sounds like a disaster, you couldn’t be farther from the truth. Listen in to hear why this was the best cruise ever, and why we compare every other vacation against it.

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, or MNSSHP if you’re in the know, is a fun event during the spooky season in Florida. But because it’s in Florida, that means it doesn’t always go as planned. We had tickets to this special-ticketed event at Magic Kingdom a week or so ago and, while we did have fun, it was a reminder that Florida weather can and most likely will impact your park plans. Just remember to go with the flow and you’ll still have a frighteningly good time.

Turnabout is fair play, so the saying goes, and last week we put that to the test. We flew from Seattle to Orlando to surprise our amazing friends with a visit and to crash Bill’s 50th birthday party weekend. It was Nathan’s birthday weekend too, so needless to say shenanigans ensued - plus visits to all 4 Disney World parks.
