Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences

Namaste, my friend!

How is your week going so far? I'm writing to you from a (very crowded) airport in Houston, on my way to Galveston, TX! WHY, do you ask? Because the "Further Adventures of Me and Beci Mahnken from Mouse Fan Travel" continue! We're continuing the "let's only spend 2.5 days on land in February" trend and going to do a little research and reconnaissance for a Marvel Day at Sea cruise! (Hmmm... interesting). And of course, I'll be sharing the experience (and culinary adventures!) with you as they happen. So please come along with me on my Instagram stories and posts! 🚢 (and if all this cruise talk has you itching to cruise, check out Mouse Fan Travel's cruise free search and booking tool at WDWRadio.com/MouseFanCruise!)

Speaking of cruises, thank you for your feedback on our next group cruise poll here in the newsletter and in the Clubhouse. This input is very helpful as we plan some of the places we are going to travel to together next! - Stay tuned... announcements coming soon!

Have you checked out this week's podcast yet?

This week’s podcast episode - Top Ten Extinct Walt Disney World Experiences We'd Bring Back - was a fun one… especially because I got to welcome Little Timmy Foster back to the show after way too long.

We set one big rule: no attractions. And once we started digging into the extinct experiences we’d bring back, it turned into less of a list… and almost more of a reminder of how much the "little things" mattered. It wasn't really about the "big things" but more about the emotional ones.

Give it a listen and let me know what’s on your list?

Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, the WDW Radio web site, or just click below! And if you like the episode, please share it with someone else!

🚶🏻 Come Walk With Me!

Last year was our first time walking together for Walk For Wishes, and it meant more to me than I expected. So we're doing it again on Thursday evening, April 9, 2026 at Lake Eola Park in Orlando. Walk with us (it's just one mile). Fundraise. Donate. Come share in the fun! (Did I mention there's free food and entertainment?) Every step helps grant a wish for a child who really needs it. I'd love for you to be there. Register, join the WDW Radio Walking Team, and order your shirt at WDWRadio.com/WalkForWishes26 💙

🚀 Turn What You Love Into What You Do

On March 20, 2026, I'm hosting a small, live, virtual Momentum Monetization Workshop, just 25 people, from 9:00am to 12:30pm ET. We'll build your personal monetization blueprint together, you'll receive a workbook with additional lessons and exercises, and you'll get real, live feedback from me, and your questions answered! ➡️ There are only 8 spots remaining ⬅️, so if it feels like the right next step, learn more at LouMongello.com/Monetize.

🎤 Speaking and Coaching

If you or someone you know is looking for a keynote speaker, I create custom keynotes built around real customer service and experience lessons learned from the Disney Parks, and leadership lessons from Walt Disney himself. If that sounds like the right fit for an upcoming event, I'd be so grateful for the introduction. And if you're interested in working together one on one in 2026, or attending one of my in-person Momentum events in Walt Disney World, I'd love that too. Find everything at LouMongello.com.

🔴 Join Me LIVE TONIGHT at 7:30pm ET

I'll be broadcasting LIVE from the Disney Magic during Marvel Day at Sea TONIGHT! Come hang out, watch the magic happen in real time, and watch and chat with me, Beci, and the WDW Radio family on Facebook or YouTube.
