If you’ve ever said, “We’ll go to Disney someday,” this is your sign that someday is now. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how to plan a trip to Disney World for first-timers - from timing and resorts to common first-timer mistakes.

Here’s what we’re covering:

  • When to start planning your first time to Disney World so you’re not stuck with leftover rooms or peak crowds.
  • My favorite Disney World tips for first-timers - including what matters most (and what doesn’t) when you’re just getting started.
  • The biggest lessons from my own first time to Disney with kids, and how it changed how I plan now.
  • What to know about resorts, park days, and avoiding overwhelm for Disney World for first-timers.
  • A simple roadmap that makes planning your first time to Disney World feel doable, not like a college course.

Whether this is your first time to Disney World or you just want a refresh before your next trip, you’ll walk away with clear Disney World tips for first-timers that actually make sense for real families.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
