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 west-bound 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.
