Our last show was in January…oooops. In our defense our children were seniors in high school, trying to figure out college, graduating from said high school, then my dog Lottie had a litter of 9 puppies, you went to Europe, then the girls off to college, and now maybe life has calmed down?! 

Current Disney deals - So many! 2026 is looking like a great year price wise to go to Disney or even take a Disney cruise. For all of 2026 kids 3-9 eat free when an adult is getting the dining plan. There are some crazy discounts you can stack with that as well. It’s been a long time since Disney had stackable discounts.

Side note I tested using multi pass later and while it is cast member dependent I was able to use a multi pass 3 hours after it expired. You can definitely use your multi pass up to one hour after expiration and make your next selection when the pass’s one hour is up so you could in theory hold 4 at a time.

Starlight

• 1st lets start with your thoughts on it. Beautiful but needs more performers in between the floats. We give it a B- to B.

MNSSHP

• I did not have the best night due to the weather, but I think you did? Leah had great weather and did notice the crowds were elevated. They did not have the lower waits some of the earlier sold out parties had. Having characters in the treat trails was awesome and hopefully they keep it. Leah was able to get everything done she wanted to, but the line for Haunted Mansion was ridiculous all night, and Anna experienced the same wait time during her party.
• It was raining when we got there at about 4:30ish. So there was no one out in the alley to walk in, kinda disappointing. So they route you through the tomorrowland terrace. The girls were dressed as Cinderella and Aurora and wanted to meet their counterparts, but because it took us so long to get through the entrance route we didn’t get to meet them. Apparently princess fairytale hall closes early on party days to get ready for the treat trail. So that was the first bummer.  I used our strategies from our MNSSHP episode to get all of the overlays and special things done early to be able to see fireworks, parade, and then end with the Sanderson sisters.
