Virginia welcomes back Hailey to talk through all of the magical details of her recent trip to Walt Disney World with her husband for his 30th birthday. They stayed at Disney’s Pop Century Resort and enjoyed reservations at Topolino’s Terrace, Oga’s Cantina, and Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’. Did Hailey fly home with Homecomin’ leftovers in her carry-on? Spoiler alert…that’s a yes!

Hailey, a mom of three young kids, travel agent, and Etsy entrepreneur, chats with Virginia about her upcoming kid-free trip to Walt Disney World. This trip will be a short, but sweet celebration of her husband’s 30th birthday and will include park-hopping to all four parks over the course of two days. They are hoping to make it to Trader Sam’s, Nomad Lounge, and the Boardwalk area lounges, something that is harder to do when they have their kids along for the ride.

The Fab Five are back and ready to chat after their ultimate girls’ getaway to Walt Disney World. This trip has a lot of moving parts to say the least! Kristen, Anj, Sav, Ginger, and Whitni balanced time together with time spent working on some of their individual goals for the trip. There were lots of plan changes, outfit changes, reels filmed, first time things happening, and most of all…memories being made. By the end of the episode, you’ll be hoping they have room for one more (there’s always room for one more) to make it a sensational six!!!

Virginia welcomes the real “Fab Five” to chat about their upcoming girls’ trip to Walt Disney World. This group of ladies met on Instagram, became fast friends, and are now taking their relationship to the next level (aka meeting in person for the first time) on one epic trip that may just become an annual event! On this getaway, they will be staying at an off property condo (thanks to Ginger!) and have plans for each of the parks, but are leaving room for spontaneity. From five different states, each of these ladies is unique and magical on their own, but together…anything could happen!
