Virginia sits down with her son Alex to talk through all the details for their upcoming February trip to Walt Disney World. This long awaited trip includes Virginia’s sister and her family, who are all going to be visiting for the first time! The trip plans include a stay at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge in a two bedroom Copper Creek villa. While Virginia and her family are Disney regulars (AP/DVC/all the things…), they have never navigated a Disney vacation with toddlers before, so this is going to be a different kind of trip.

Virginia chats with Katie, aka @2plus3travelers on Instagram, about her upcoming family trip to Walt Disney World. This particular trip is special because her 7 year old daughter will experience her very first 5k! The family of five will call Art of Animation home and after a few days of Disney fun and the 5k, the rest of the household will drive back to NC while Katie stays behind for the 10k. It’s shaping up to be a very busy week so by the end she will have really earned that medal!

Virginia sits down to talk with Megan from Park Aesthetic Company (@parkaestheticco on Instagram) about her upcoming trip to the Flower and Garden Festival at EPCOT. Megan and her company produce creative temporary tattoos for Disney guests to use as they sip and snack their way around the world. This quick trip was both a first overnight trip away from her little ones and an opportunity to take lots of photos and videos of their tattoos in action at Flower & Garden Festival. While this episode is not sponsored, Megan was kind enough to share a discount code with listeners!
