Episode Description

Joe is back from a ten day Disney “land and sea” trip - five nights at Walt Disney World and four nights on the Disney Dream out of Miami! How did Joe deal with the busiest crowds at Walt Disney World in 2023 (or maybe since reopening?)? How was Joe’s family’s first experience in concierge on the Disney Dream? How many fails did Joe and his family have on the trip? Why Terminal C again? Yacht & Beach Club, the kids’ first ride on Space Mountain, Extended Evening Hours, a cabana at Castaway Cay - this trip had it all!

Plus, we discuss how we handled a potential medical emergency with three kids in tow away from home.
