✨ I owe you an apology… and some exciting Disney updates
|
Your Guide to Disney Parks & ExperiencesHello, my friend. I hope you are doing well and having a great week so far! First, I want to start with an apology… and a thank you. I’ve missed sending you the newsletter these past couple of weeks. No excuses, but I have a reason... I’ve been happily juggling a lot of exciting (and all good!) things, including travel, speaking, projects, and of course, the show. But I never take for granted that you give me the opportunity to do what I love, and that you choose to spend some of your valuable time with me every week. Whether it’s here, on social, or through the podcast, your support and friendship mean everything. So thank you for your understanding, patience, friendship (we ARE friends, whether we've met yet or not), and support! What’s New on the PodcastOver the past few weeks, I’ve been able to share some conversations and experiences that I’m incredibly excited about:
🎧 If you haven’t had a chance to listen yet, you can find them all on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or at WDWRadio.com. 👉 After you listen, I’d love to know: Are you a Disney Adult? What does it mean to you… and how has Disney shaped your life? Please hit reply and let me know - or better yet, come share your story in the WDW Radio Clubhouse.
Upcoming AdventuresSpeaking of memories… I’m thrilled to share that our next WDW Radio Adventures by Disney Group Trip is set! We have a short Escape to Paris before sailing the River Seine to Paris next week, with time in the city of lights, and of course, a couple of days to experience the wonder of Disneyland Paris together after the cruise! If you’ve ever dreamed of combining the magic of Disney with the history and beauty of Europe, this is going to be an unforgettable adventure. Please follow along on my Instagram! 🇫🇷🥖🥐🗺️ Why I Built MomentumI’ve also been spending a lot of time preparing for something else that’s very close to my heart… Momentum. I created it to help people like you turn what you love into what you do. Momentum is not just another conference. It’s four transformative days in one intimate room with 50 like-minded creators, entrepreneurs, and speakers who have "walked the walk." Together, we’ll learn, workshop, and implement strategies so you don’t just leave inspired - you leave with real results. This year, Momentum is bigger and better than ever:
🔥 Seats are limited - in fact, there are just 7 spots left - and the early bird discount of $100 off ends soon. If you’ve been waiting for a sign… this is it. Momentum takes places Thursday through Sunday, October 16-19. Get the full list of speakers, sessions, details, and discounted hotel rates at the Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista and come join us at LouMongello.com/Momentum. 💡 And to apologize for missing a couple of weeks of emails... AND because I want to help you take the next step toward turning what you love into what you do... you can use code THANKYOU100 to save an additional $100 off your Momentum ticket... but act fast! Speaking & EventsOne of the things I love most is being able to share lessons from Disney and from my own journey with audiences and businesses of all sizes. From leadership and storytelling to creating unforgettable customer experiences and helping entrepreneurs turn their passion into their profession, I bring Disney magic and real-world strategies inspired by the Disney Parks to conferences, retreats, and events around the world. I share practical strategies and proven insights that audiences can apply immediately to create meaningful results. If you’re planning an event and are looking for a keynote speaker, workshop, or breakout session that will inspire and empower your attendees while delivering real value and lasting impact, I’d love to be part of it. You can learn more and connect with me at LouMongello.com. Be Part of the CommunityRemember, WDW Radio isn’t just about watching or listening... it’s about being part of the conversation and the community.
As always, I want to say thank you again.... Thank you for giving me the gift of your time, your trust, and your friendship. None of this - the show, the trips, the events, or this community - would exist without you. Until next time… be kind, choose the good, and keep moving forward. If there is anything I can do to help you, please reply to this email and let me know. Until next time… Choose the Good, be kind, and keep moving forward. 🙏✨ ✨ Quick Links for You🎧 Listen: This week’s podcast |
