In today’s episode, The Travel Genie Show dives deep into the wonderful world of Resort Days. These days are perfect for resting, recharging, and enjoying the many delights your Disney resort has to offer. We'll discuss a variety of activities, from lounging by the pool to engaging in unique experiences throughout the resorts.

What to Expect:

✨ Disney Springs Adventures: Explore interactive dining at T-Rex and Rainforest Cafe, indulge in delicious treats like Dole Whip flights (available at the stand near the Rainforest Cafe) and visit the Coke Store, which offers sampling flights from around the world.

✨ LEGO Fun: Discover the Minifigure Factory at the LEGO Store, where you can design and 3D print your own LEGO minifigure. It’s a fantastic, affordable activity that requires booking in advance!

✨ Attractions for Kids: Check out the carousel and train rides at Disney Springs that are sure to be a hit with kids. Plus, don’t miss Goofy’s Candy Store and the Christmas store for personalized ornaments!

✨ Photo Ops: Did you know there’s a PhotoPass Studio in Disney Springs? You can capture magical family moments with beautiful backdrops, especially during the holiday seasons.

In this episode, The Travel Genies discuss their recent trip to Disneyland. We were struck by many of the differences between Disney World (Orlando, Florida) and Disneyland (Anaheim, California).

Some of the differences include property size, number of parks, and resort hotel options. Considerations for deciding whether to visit Disneyland vs Walt Disney World were size, types of attractions, number of rides, characters, fireworks. The Travel Genie (TheTravelGenieShow.com) answer the question of how many days to spend at Disneyland and whether you should get park hopper tickets.

Have you ever wondered what makes for a bad day at Disney? The experts at The Travel Genie Show (TheTravelGenieShow.com) discuss all the mistakes they've seen so many guests make when they go to Disney parks, culminating in a "bad day".

Discussed are things like going during the wrong time of year when crowds will be higher or the weather will be unbearable, not making dining reservations, not realizing how expansive the property is, going on the "perfect trip" for someone else's family, wearing the wrong shoes, forgetting your family is still your family, trying to do too much, and not researching shows and characters that your family won't want to miss.
